Introduction

Humans are dependent on plants for basic needs such as food, clothing, and shelter for centuries. Plants have also been used as arrow and dart poisons for hunting, poisons for murder, hallucinogens used for ritualistic purposes, stimulants for endurance, and hunger suppression, as well as inebriants and medicines. Medicinal plants have been a source of wide variety of biologically active compounds for many centuries and used extensively as crude material or as pure compounds for treating various disease conditions. Relatively 1–10% of plants are used by humans out of estimated 250,000– 500,000 species of plants on Earth.

Plant-based traditional medicine plays a key role in the development and advancement of modern studies by serving as a starting point for the development of novelties in drug discovery. Various modern drugs were extracted from traditional medicinal plants through the use of plant material following the ethno-botanical leads from indigenous cures used by traditional medical systems. In developing countries and rural societies, the use of medicinal plants is both a valuable resource and necessity, and furthermore, it provides a real alternative for primary healthcare systems

Plant extraction is a process that aims to extract certain components present in plants. It is a solid/liquid separation operation: a solid object (the plant) is placed in contact with a fluid (the solvent). The plant components of interest are then solubilized and contained within the solvent. The solution thus obtained is the desired extract.

Nature has bestowed our country with an enormous wealth of medicinal plants; therefore, India has often been referred to as the Medicinal Garden of the world. Today, people around the globe are giving preference to alternative medicines such as ayurveda, naturopathy, homeopathy and herbal medicine. Herbal medicine is cost effective and less expensive than the medicines bought from an allopathic pharmacy. Increasing realization of the side effects of allopathic medicines, coupled with the growing awareness about the medicinal benefits as well as therapeutic effect of herbal products is pushing up the demand for herbal extracts, dietary supplement sand herbal-based beauty aids worldwide.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 9

Herbal extraction and processing are very vast field. Some of the known projects are, rose plantation, cultivation & rose oil extraction plantation, cultivation of medicinal plant & herbs, Kali mehendi (henna), aloevera gel, aloevera gel and powder, aromatic plants cultivation and processing, asparagus cultivation & processing, ayurvedic churan and tablets, ayurvedic raw material from mercury a- singruph (hingula) or cinnabar (hgs), b-ras sindhoor, ayurvedic/herbal pharmacy, cough syrup, hair dyes (henna based), herbal natural essential oil (steam distillation process), herbal shampoo and cream, herbal concentrate in the mfg. Of herbal drugs and concentrate, herbal extracts, herbal medicinal plant and processing, herbs cultivation & processing, herbs cultivation & processing, menthol crystal from menthol oil, patchouli oil, plantation, cultivation of medicinal plant and herbs, sindur roli bindi and gulal, tobacco based tooth powder, toilet and herbal soap, herbal capsules, herbal face paste, rajnigandha oil, amla cultivation, plantation, amla hair oil based on vegetable oil, aloe vera processing, artemisia vulgaris oil, aloevera gel, juice and powder, ayurvedic hair oil for colouring of hair oil, herbal wine, mehendi cone, hibiscus cultivation, herbal beer, azadirachtin from neem, neem based pesticide, moringa -miracle tree, etc.

Further, to usage of herbal extracts for its medicinal and culinary values, they are widely used in the cosmetic industry, primarily in its soap segment. Soap, may be, classified by use as follows: • Soap Household • Industrial soap • Special soap

Among them, Special soaps are used for medical purposes and shampoo is not large. Industrial soap which is important, being used in the textile industry etc. is not consumed in a large quantity, either. Household soap accounts for the larger part of the consumption of soap. The production of laundry soap has sharply decreased in recent years with the global spread of synthetic detergents. Indeed, it appears as though soap has given place to synthetic detergents. However, toilet soap enjoys a stabilized demand and its manufacture is not likely to lose in importance for a long time to come.

As for the monthly production capacity of toilet soap. Although, there are plants which manufacture 500-1500 tonnes a month. The soap making process roughly consists of saponification and moulding. There are various methods of saponification. The hot

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 10

process is regarded as the best, because the quality of soap in superior and this process churns out glycerin, as a by-product.

Various oils and fats are used as raw materials for soap making tallow and coconut oil are mostly used in Japan. They are mixed at a ratio of 70 - 80 percent of the former and 20 - 30 percent of the latter.

The main objective of this project is to give an insight of details and requirements of herbal extraction processing for Oil, Soap and Cosmetics. This report provides an overview of how to start a business of herbal extraction in Bhutan. The main objective of the project is to provide a general techno-feasibility of how to extract herbal oils from various plants and use the same for production of variety of oil for medicinal and cosmetic usage, and for production of soap and other toiletries.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 11

Properties

The properties of herbal extracts and essential oils depend on the properties of the plants from which they are extracted, like Rose oil extracted from rose plant will exhibit the properties inhibited by rose, and similarly neem oil extracts will have the properties of neem.

An essential oil is a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile chemical compound from plant. Essential oils are also known as volatile oils, ethereal oils, aetherolea, or simply as the oil of the plant from which they were extracted, such as clove oil. An essential oil is "essential" in the sense that it contains the "essence of" the plant's fragrance—the characteristic fragrance of the plant from which it is derived. The term "essential" used here does not mean indispensable or usable by the human body, as with the term essential amino acid or essential fatty acid, which are so called because they are nutritionally required by a given living organism.

Essential oils are generally extracted by distillation, often by using steam. Other processes include expression, solvent extraction, sfumatura, absolute oil extraction, resin tapping, wax embedding, and cold pressing. They are used in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps and other products, for flavouring food and drink, and for adding scents to incense and household cleaning products. Essential oils should not be confused with perfume, fragrance, etc. as the latter usually include pure chemical components whereas essential oils are derived from plants.

Market Study and Assessment

Current Indian Market Scenario

The Indian Plant Extract Market is witnessing an astonishing growth, as there has been a shift in universal trend from synthetic to herbal medicine. India is a virtual treasure trove of plant species, and has one of the world's richest medicinal plant heritages. Plants with therapeutic agents are highly esteemed all over the world as they help in prevention of diseases and ailments.

Owing to its wide range of medicinal & aromatic uses, the Indian Plant Extract market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 17% during 2018-2023. As a result, of increased investments as well as significant demand of plant extract in internationals markets, there lies immense opportunity for new and existing players to tap the fast- growing market which would garner huge revenue.

The soap industry plays a key role in the economy of India. Soap is an FMCG product that has the highest market penetration in India, covering more than 80% of the country’s urban as well as rural households. An estimated 50 percent of the soaps that are produced in the country are sold in rural markets. The size of India’s soap market is expected to grow at moderate rate over the next few years.

In India, soaps are available in five million retail stores, out of which, 3.75 million retail stores are in the rural areas. Therefore, availability of these products is not an issue 70% of India’s population resides in the rural areas; hence around 50% of the soap are sold in the rural markets.

With increase in disposable incomes, growth in rural demand is expected to increase because consumers are moving up towards premium products. However, in the recent past there has not been much change in the volume of premium soaps in proportion to economy soaps, because increase in prices has led some consumers to look for cheaper substitutes. The major players in personal wash (Soap) market are HLL, Nirma and P&G.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 25

Favourable demographics and rise in income level to boost FMCG market

Statistics of Import and Export

The pharmaceuticals & dietary supplements segment is expected to be the largest application segment of the plant extracts market. This can be attributed to increasing consumer awareness about the benefits of herbal medicines over allopathic medicines. Further, as a result of the growing incidents of illnesses due to stressful and busy lifestyles, consumers are demanding functional food supplements for regular consumption. Some of these supplements include phytomedicines and herbal extracts, which are composed of naturally occurring components; they are scientifically demonstrated to promote positive effects on the target functions beyond basic nutrition. Further, many governments are highly promoting the use of herbal extracts for medication instead of synthetic ones, which is also driving the segment’s growth.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 76

By type, phytomedicines & herbal extracts accounted for the largest share in the plant extracts market during the forecast period. The demand for phytomedicines & herbal extracts is increasing significantly in various applications, including skincare, health care, functional food, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics, due to the growing awareness of its health benefits among consumers. Also, improper use of antibiotics causes certain bacteria strains to develop resistance, which further leads to fatal consequences. These instances have encouraged the demand for plant-based medicines and supplements. Herbal medicines are witnessing an increasing preference as they mainly protect from several infections and are considered better alternatives for existing and emerging antimicrobial drug-resistant (ADR) pathogens.

As a source, leaves are projected to record one of the fastest growths in the plant extract market during the forecast period. Leaves and herbs are used since ancient times to manufacture herbal medicines. However, they are now gaining tremendous popularity due to the changing consumer trend of using natural products rather than synthetic ones. The leaves of many plants, including rosemary, Aloe Vera, basil, thyme, clove leaves are highly rich in antioxidants and also offer anti- microbial properties. This has led to their extensive usage in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries.

Due to high Vitamin A, Vitamin K, Vitamin C, magnesium, iron, potassium, and calcium content, basil extracts are used extensively in food & beverage applications. Similarly, mint extracts have broad applications in personal care and pharmaceutical products, as they generally help in treating allergies, fighting bowel infections, and treating the common cold. Apart from these, many other leaves and herb extracts are gaining popularity across many industrial verticals according to the properties they offer.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 77

Asia Pacific is projected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period.

In 2018, Asia Pacific constituted a market share of 56.5% within the plant extracts market. The market for plant extracts in the region is thriving due to strong local and international demand. The Asian countries such as China and India have a sizeable tropical area, having diverse medicinal and herbal plants. This allows small and medium-sized manufacturers of plant extracts, to have efficient processing of plant extracts as they are aware of the benefits offered by them, owing to the rich history of producing medicinal plants with advanced technology. Manufacturers in Indonesia, India, and Thailand are continuously investing in the market and focusing on innovation to expand their product range. This is due to the rise in the trade of plant extracts between Asia and international manufacturers of plant extract-based products.

Manufacturing Process – Herbal Extraction and Soap Manufacturing

A. Herbal Extraction Process

General Process of Herbal Extraction

A technical process (The general process) Plant extraction is solid/liquid extraction, eventually followed by purification stages. It is thus defined as an operation of the separation of one or several constituents (solid or liquid) contained in a solid object by solubilization in a fluid. This fluid, generally known as a solvent, may be a liquid or a gas (water vapor or supercritical fluids).

In thermodynamics, the solid object is a homogeneous mixture in equilibrium, i.e. in the absence of external disturbances it will undergo no modification. This can be compared with the treatment of heterogeneous mixtures, which can be fractionated by filtration, decantation or centrifugation, for example.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 132

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 133

In solid/liquid extraction, this disturbance consists of an exchange of thermic and mechanical energy with the surroundings, combined with the provision of a third element, the solvent. Following this disturbance, the solid is no longer in equilibrium and the solid-solvent system will advance towards a new equilibrium through mass transfer. The whole art of extraction is a question of understanding the parameters that influence nature, and the kinetics of this mass transfer from the solid to the liquid.

Several separation procedures implement solid raw plant materials and lead to the production of extracts:

Main Separation Process

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 134

A scalable procedure... The general procedure of solid/liquid extraction can be scaled in five different ways:

Maceration: the contact stage is maintained at room temperature.

Decoction or reflux: the contact stage is maintained at the boiling point of the solvent.

Digestion: the contact stage is maintained at a temperature in between those of the previous two cases.

Infusion: the boiling solvent is poured over the solid, then left to cool for a set time.

Leaching or percolation: the solvent passes through the biomass.

No other methods are possible in the case of solid/liquid extraction. On the other hand, it is common to:

Combine these methods with each other or with other processes such as distillation, steam distillation, rectification, etc.

Use various solvents, either successively or in combination.

Make use of extraction aids such as ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, high pressure (supercritical CO2), microwaves, ultrasound, etc

A number of factors can have an impact on the quality of the plant extract, and combining them makes it possible to obtain an almost infinite number of different extracts.

The raw material is one of the most important parameters, but also the most difficult to master. In fact, even within a plant variety, there is often considerable variation in the quality depending on climatic conditions, cultivation practices, geographical origin, etc. This makes it all the more difficult to guarantee the consistent quality of the extracts.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 135

The specificity and yield of the extractions also depend on their intrinsic parameters (quality of the solvent, choice of equipment and properties pertaining to the procedures).

Graphic of the parameters influencing extract quality

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 136

Manufacturing Process of Herbal Extracts

The extraction process involves the separation of medicinally active portions of plant from the inactive or inert components by extraction with selective solvents by standard extraction process. The extracts, so obtained are relatively impure liquid, semi solids or powder intended only for oral or external use. The extract thus obtained can be use as such or may be further processed.

A specified quantity of milled crude herbs powder is taken into a extractor (S.S) Jacketed and subjected to steam purging which helps in removal of volatile impurities such a pesticides. The process also improves the efficiency of extraction by increasing the porosity. The desired solvent is added in a ratio 1:4 to 1:6 of powdered herb solvent extraction is done for 4-5 h at a temperature of 40-45oC. The mixture is constantly stirred and sample of decoction are taken out at regular interval to check the concentration of the active material in the extract. When the concentration level becomes almost constant, the mixtures are drained and filtered using filter press. The filtrate (extract) is transferred to storage vessels.

• The extract is allowing to stand for 12 to 18 h for setting any suspended particles. Then it is filtered in a Nutsche filter.

• The extract can be concentrated in a close an open pan evaporator. The concentrate is dried in a vacuum dryer (Tray) or Fluidized Bed Dryer at 60oC under 30mm pressure or spray dryer. If the concentrated extract is required in liquid form it is used as such.

• The dried extract is pulverized in a suitable mill to get a 40 to 60 mesh powder. The step is not applicable to spray dried extract.

• The powder/liquid extract is mixed with suitable preservative (0.25/sodium methyl paraben for liquid preparation and 0.02% w/w bromide for preparation) and store in cool dry place.

Sequences in Herbal Extracts

Sorting & Milling

To remove any foreign matter from the herbs. Equipments such as Huller, disintegrator, pulverizer, multimill and flakers are used.

Extraction

Two most frequent used methods are:

1. Liquid carbon dioxide extraction method

2. Combination of percolation and solvent extraction method

Concentration of extract

The extract is concentrated in an open pan evaporator or in a closed distillation unit.

Drying

At this step specialist advice is required to optimize drying efficiency and minimize loss of critical plant components.

Pulverization of Dry extract

The dried extract is pulverized in a suitable mill to get a 40 to 60 mesh powder. This step is not applicable to spray dried extract.

Storage of Extract

The extract is store is cool dry place.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 139

Details of Herbs Extraction Process

Extraction is not a crude process, but a refined art and science that requires oversight by master craftsmen and craftswomen at each stage in every process.

Preparatory Work

Wash herbs repeatedly and rinse them in fresh running water to remove dirt and other impurities. Each type of herb and all individual pieces of each herb are then processed in particular ways to expose maximum surface area for further processing and to facilitate the highest extraction of active ingredients. For example, seeds are crushed open, and tonic roots are thinly sliced diagonally, prior to whatever is needed next to insure extraction of essential herb components.

Pre-Extraction Methodology

Herbs are prepared according to a unique Pre-Extraction Methodology, during which time the herbs may be roasted, baked, stir-fried, or even wine-fried, according to traditional methods to yield the maximum therapeutic effect. Some herbs, like Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), contain key alkaloids that are soluble in alcohol rather than water. In order for these active ingredients to be released, the wine-frying procedure must be performed prior to water extraction, or the therapeutic effect would be compromised. Knowing this and committing to these details are what makes our herbs more effective than others, so that you can see the difference in therapeutic results.

High-Pressure Low-Temperature Extraction and Granulation

Herbs are extracted in sealed, temperature-controlled, clean rooms. The only water that is used in extraction processes has been softened and purified to high standards. Herbs are not subjected to heavy metals from tap water, or to industrial solvents such as acetone or hexane, which are used by some manufacturers to extract one specific standardized active ingredient.

High-pressure system maximizes extraction of active ingredients, and the low- temperature approach ensures that phyto-nutrients and active compounds are not destroyed by heat--thus yielding a more potent finished product. The right temperature

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 140

and time must be used to retain vital nutrients. If cooked for too long, or over high heat, all the vitamins and healthy ingredients are destroyed.

Finally, one herb at a time, the liquid carrying the extracted ingredients, now in paste consistency, is turned into the final individual granular product under vacuum-dry evaporation and granulation in a totally enclosed chamber to protect against cross contamination from other herbs or from any other potential contaminant.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 141

Structure This herb extractor and concentrator include extractor, concentrator, receiver, condenser, cooler, pipes, valves, meters, water-oil separator, filter, vacuum pump, transfer pump, and so on.

Principle

First you put the herb (leaves, root, flower or seed) into extractor, add water or other sol vent (like alcohol) into extractor. Then heat the extractor, the component from herb will dissolved into water or solvent, after extraction, then pump the extracted liquid into the concentrator, evaporate the water or solvent (like alcohol) which will be cooled by condenser and flow to receiver, the solvent can be used again next time. The component in concentrator will became into cream or liquid which you need.

Character

It is new type equipment at present, this equipment is especially suitable for medium pharmaceutical factory or small pharmaceutical factory, hospital, academe and so on. It is specially used for producing small quality but high-quality herb. It can be heat by steam or electric, if the customer have not steam boiler, they can heat the machine by electric.

Save time: the extracting and concentration can be operated at the same time, so it saves much time, before the concentration should be operated after extraction.

Save energy: the steam from concentrator can heat the extractor directly so we can save 50% steam, so one year you can save money from steam which can buy one machine again. The extraction or concentration can be operated under vacuum, if the herb is sensitive to high temperature, so it can be operated under vacuum, so the herb cannot be burned by high temperature, second the solvent can be evaporating under lower temperature if the machine is working under vacuum, so it will save time and energy too.

All machines do not have dead corner, so it is good to clean and it is according GMP standard.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 142

All surface of the machine is mirror polished, so it is looks very neat. The temperature can be adjusted according to the requirement, for example it is required to heat the machine to 100o, it can be set to that, the heating can be stop when the temperature of 100o is achieved. If it is 96o, it can be heated again.

Processing Steps for Herbal Extract

• Macroscopic inspection by qualified experts to “weed out” commonly substituted herbs

• Microscopic examination of the herb’s surface, grain, and distinguishing characteristics

• TLC (Thin layer chromatography), a chemical “fingerprint” unique to each species

After authentication, batches of herbs are sorted through by trained technicians, who pick out and discard the damaged or subpar herbs.

Herbal Preparation & Formula Verification

Once the best herbs are selected, they are cleaned and prepared according to a protocol customized for that herb. Dirt and other foreign materials are meticulously removed, and the herbs are then sliced or prepared with traditional pao zhi methods before being cooked in a large vat, called a rotary extractor.

Extraction The rotary extractor spins to mix the herbs in a decoction liquid while the temperature is increased to cook the herbs. The precise extraction temperature and timing is strictly controlled.

Collection and Restoration of Essential Oil

In 2000, Kaiser Pharmaceutical earned patent number 160911 for the technology used for the Extraction and Retrieval of Herbal Essential Oils. Modern scientific processing

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 143

methods and rigorous quality control set KPC herbs apart from all other sources of Chinese herbs. Essential oil retrieval system allows the vat to capture and preserve the volatile oils, which are reintroduced when the herbs are in the granulation phase. Essential oils increase efficacy and infuse the herbs with their natural aroma.

Herbal Concentration

After extraction, the decocted herbal liquid flows out through a valve directly into a state-of-the-art concentration system. The decoction liquid slowly evaporates in a low- temperature vacuum system. The low-temperature preserves the potency of the herbal extract’s potency that would otherwise be damaged under extended exposure to high temperatures.

All extraction factors are controlled, and then measured for extraction effectiveness using HPLC detection for known ingredients. The process is tweaked until the best procedure and herb-to-solute ratio is ascertained which then becomes the SOP (Standard Operation Procedure) for that product. Because each product has a different optimal herb extraction ratio and because herb extraction ratios are inherently misleading.

Granulation

The concentrated herbal extract, now in the form of a viscous liquid, is piped into a flow coater. The granulator sprays the concentrate onto minute particles of a base material as the moisture slowly dissipates. With the moisture evaporated, the granules are dry and ready to be packaged. The flow-coater’s process is automated, and it is completely sealed off to prevent the possibility of cross-contamination. The base material is formed using non-GMO potato starch and/or ground herbs depending on the formulation. The granules can then be pressed into easy-to-swallow tablets or encapsulated.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 144

Finished Product QC

High-precision laboratory tests check multiple samples from each batch to measure the potency and to establish the safety of the product. These tests include the following:

• Microbiological assays to screen for E. coli, salmonella and various other possible bio-contaminants such as molds or yeasts

• GC-MS-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) to ensure safety by testing for the presence of over 200 harmful substances such as pesticides, herbicides and fungicides

• UPLC-MS-MS (Ultra performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) to measure key active ingredients, thereby indicating the general efficacy of the herb or herb formula

• ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma – Mass Spectrometry) to test heavy metals up to a range of parts per billion (ppb). ICP-MS is by far the most precise and sensitive technology available today to test for heavy metals.

Packaging and Appearances

Like all plant products, the characteristics of herbs vary from season to season and year to year depending on the environment in which the herbs were picked. Naturally, it is normal for the resulting granules to vary slightly in colour, texture or aroma, reflecting the variations in the source herbs from which they were produced.

Manufacturing Process for Extraction of Essential Oils from Flowers, Herbs, Spices by Super Critical Fluid (Carbon Dioxide)

Extraction of Essential Oil [Solvent Extraction Process using Super Critical Fluid (CO2)]:

Extraction using super critical fluid instead of solvents viz. hexane, benzene etc. is a much beneficial.

From flowers:

Extraction of Essential oils from flowers, using Super Critical Fluids (SCF), is first carried out in an extraction unit with jacketed reactor convicted with condenser system. In the jacket steam is passed impart requisite temperature to the contents in the jacketed vessel, containing the charge comprising of various flowers viz. Jasmine, lavender, etc. using SCF and the vaporization of the essential oils is conducted out under vacuum separately from individual flavours based on their boiling points. These essential oils in the form of vapours rise from the main distillation unit and get condensed in the reflux condenser from which they are taken to their respective storage tanks, packed in suitable containers and dispatched for marketing.

The SCF used in the above operation is carbon dioxide (CO2). This Super Critical CO2 at temperatures and pressures above the critical point of 31.06oC and 7.38 m pa (73.8 bars) may be employed.

After the extraction of essential oils, which are volatile oils, the remaining soft is withdrawn and transferred to the solvent extraction unit fitted with heating system using oleum ether for extraction of oleoresins.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 146

In the extraction unit the stuff is well stirred which the solvent is introduced into the system. When the extraction is complete, the solution is filtered and the solvent distilled off. In more up to date equipment, counter-current extraction may be affected through a series of percolators which are fitted, with trays packed with the remaining floral stuff.

The solvent after passing through the plant material passes to a vacuum still (vacuum distillation system with condenser, etc.), where it is distilled of and returned for fresh extraction i.e. the recycle of the solvent is accomplished. The relatively less volatile perfume oils remain in the still. The product is usually a solid mass and consists of a mixture of oleoresins plant waxes, pigments, etc. which is known as concrete on treatment with alcohol the insoluble plant waxes can be filtered off, removal of alcohol from the solution yields obsolete.

There are two types of extractors i.e. stationary & rotary extractors. The former consists of vertical cylinders provided with perforated metal goods arranged horizontally around a vertical shaft. The floral stuff is well changed on grids extraction is affected by successive washings whereby each batch of floral stuff is brought into contact with the solvent three times. The final extract is distilled to recover the solvent. The rotary extractor consists of a tinned iron-drum rotating on a horizontal axis. The interior is divided into four compartments (loading flowers) by means of perforated metal partitions. The solvent remains at the lowest part of the extractor and when one compartment is lifted in the course of the movement of the drum the liquid seeps through the perforations and drips back to the bottom. Each batch of flowers receive three washings. The extract pumped to a vacuum still and the solvent distilled of at a temperature below 60o 90-95% of the solvent is recovered. The concrete is cooled filtered and further concentrated in vacuo. The floral concrete so obtained contains the odoriferous principles and a considerable amount of plant waxes and pigments. For preparing the absolute the concrete is exhausted with warm alcohol and insoluble wax separated. The clear solution is cooled to -20o to -25o when more wax separates out.

Early efforts at extraction used alcohol and a fermentation process. New methods of essential oils extraction are entering the mainstream of aromatherapy, offering new choices in oils never before available. With the new labels of CO2 and Super Critical CO2, along with the traditional ‘steam’ and ‘hydro’ distillations, 'absolutes', and 'cold pressing', a little education for the aromatherapy enthusiast can go a long way in essential oil selection. Is one process better than another? Does one produce nicer smelling oil, or one with greater aroma therapeutic value? It turns out that essential oil production, like winemaking, is an art form as well as a science. The way in which oils are extracted from plants is important because some processes use solvents that can destroy the therapeutic properties. Some plants, and particularly flowers, do not lend themselves to steam distilling. They are too delicate, or their fragrance and therapeutic essences cannot be completely released by water alone. These oils will be produced as 'absolutes' – and while not technically considered essential oils they can still be of therapeutic value. Jasmine oil and Rose oil in particular are delicate flowers whose oils are often found in 'absolute' form.

The value of the newer processing methods depends greatly on the experience of the distiller, as well as the intended application of the final product. Each method is important, and has its place in the making of aromatherapy-grade essential oils. Some of the few methods are available for extractions of essential oils are given below:

Maceration: Maceration actually creates more of an “infused oil" rather than an "essential oil". The plant matter is soaked in vegetable oil, heated and strained at which point it can be used for massage.

Cold Pressing: Cold pressing is used to extract the essential oils from citrus rinds such as orange, lemon, grapefruit and bergamot. This method involves the simple pressing of the rind at about 120oF to extract the oil. The rinds are separated from the fruit, are ground or chopped and are then pressed. The result is a watery mixture of essential oil and liquid which will separate given time. Little, if any, alteration from the oil's original state occurs – these citrus oils retain their bright, fresh, uplifting aromas like that of smelling a wonderfully ripe fruit. It is important to note that oils extracted using this

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 151

method have a relatively short shelf life, so make or purchase only what you will be using within the next six months.

Solvent Extraction: A hydrocarbon solvent is added to the plant material to help dissolve the essential oil. When the solution is filtered and concentrated by distillation, a substance containing resin (resinoid), or a combination of wax and essential oil (known as concrete) remains. From the concentrate, pure alcohol is used to extract the oil. When the alcohol evaporates, the oil is left behind. This is not considered the best method for extraction as the solvents can leave a small amount of residue behind which could cause allergies and effect the immune system.

Enfleurage: An intensive and traditional way of extracting oil from flowers. The process involves layering fat over the flower petals. After the fat has absorbed the essential oils, alcohol is used to separate and extract the oils from the fat. The alcohol is then evaporated and the essential oil collected.

Hydro distillation: Some process becomes obsolete to carry out extraction process like Hydro Distillation which often used in primitive countries. The risk is that the still can run dry, or be overheated, burning the aromatics and resulting in an Essential Oil with a burnt smell. Hydro distillation seems to work best for powders (i.e., spice powders, ground wood, etc.) and very tough materials like roots, wood, or nuts.

CO2 & Super Critical CO2 Extraction: The most modern technologies, carbon dioxide and Super Critical carbon dioxide extraction involve the use of carbon dioxide as the 'solvent' which carries the essential oil away from the raw plant material. The lower pressure CO2 extraction involves chilling carbon dioxide to between 35oF and 55oF, and pumping it through the plant material at about 1000 psi. The carbon dioxide in this condition is condensed to a liquid. Supercritical CO2 extraction (SCO2) involves carbon dioxide heated to 87oF and pumped through the plant material at around 8,000 psi– under these conditions; the carbon dioxide is likened to a 'dense fog' or vapor. With release of the pressure in either process, the carbon dioxide escapes in its gaseous form, leaving the essential oil behind. The usual method of extraction is through steam distillation. After extraction, the properties of a good quality essential oil should be as close as possible to the "essence" of the original plant. The key to a 'good' essential oil is through low pressure and low temperature processing. High temperatures, rapid

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 152

processing and the use of solvents alter the molecular structure, will destroy the therapeutic value and alter the fragrance.

Turbo Distillation Extraction: Turbo distillation is suitable for hard-to-extract or coarse plant material, such as bark, roots, and seeds. In this process, the plants soak in water and steam is circulated through this plant and water mixture. Throughout the entire process, the same water is continually recycled through the plant material. This method allows faster extraction of essential oils from hard-to-extract plant materials.

Steam Distillation: Most commonly, the essence is extracted from the plant using a technique called distillation. One type of distillation places the plants or flowers on a screen. Steam is passed through the area and becomes "charged" with the essence. The steam then passes through an area where it cools and condenses. This mixture of water and essential oil is separated and bottled. Since plants contain such a small amount of this precious oil, several hundred pounds may need to produce a single ounce.

Extraction of Essential Oils Using Steam Distillation Method

Essential oils can be extracted using a variety of methods, although some are not commonly used today. Nowadays, a reputable distiller will try to preserve the original qualities of the plant, but the final therapeutic result is often not formed until after the extraction process. During extraction, the qualities of the oil change to give it more value - for example, chamazulene (characteristic of the pure blue colour of German Chamomile) is formed during the steam distillation process. Currently, the most popular method for extraction is steam distillation.

Many old-time distillers favour this method for most oils, and say that none of the newer methods produces better quality oils. Steam distillation is a special type of distillation or a separation process for temperature sensitive materials like oils, resins, hydrocarbons, etc. which are insoluble in water and may decompose at their boiling point. The fundamental nature of steam distillation is that it enables a compound or mixture of compounds to be distilled at a temperature substantially below that of the boiling point(s) of the individual constituent(s). Essential oils contain substances with boiling points up to 200°C or higher temperatures. In the presence of steam or boiling water, however, these substances are volatilized at a temperature close to 100°C, at atmospheric pressure.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 153

Fresh, or sometimes dried, botanical material is placed in the plant chamber of the still and the steam is allowed to pass through the herb material under pressure which softens the cells and allows the essential oil to escape in vapor form. The temperature of the steam must be high enough to vaporize the oil present, yet not so high that it destroys the plants or burns the essential oils. As they are released, the tiny droplets of essential oil evaporate and, together with the steam molecules, travel through a tube into the still's condensation chamber. As the steam cools, it condenses into water. The essential oil forms a film on the surface of the water. To separate the essential oil from the water, the film is then decanted or skimmed off the top. The remaining water, a by- product of distillation, is called floral water, distillate, or hydrosol. It retains many of the therapeutic properties of the plant, making it valuable in skin care for facial mists and toners. In certain situations, floral water may be preferable to be pure essential oil, such as when treating a sensitive individual or a child, or when a more diluted treatment is required. Rose hydrosol, for example, is commonly used for its mild antiseptic and soothing properties, as well as its pleasing floral aroma.

Essential oil isolated by steam distillation are different in composition to those naturally occurring in the oil-bearing glands of plants, since the steam distillation conditions cause chemical reactions to occur which result in the formation of certain artificial chemicals, called artifacts. Some of these are considered beneficial e.g. the formation of chamazulene during the steam distillation of Chamomile oil; whilst others may not be, e.g. the hydrolysis of linalyl acetate during the distillation of clary sage. Few essential oils are unscathed by the thermal conditions of steam distillation, but some distillation techniques can, in certain instances, be a measure less damaging than others (e.g. hydro diffusion – a sort of inverted steam distillation where steam is introduced at the top of the vegetable material-packed container, and oil and condensate issue from the bottom – can produce oils with higher ester contents that is less thermally induced hydrolysis).

HERBAL SOAP MANUFACTURING PROCESS

Process of Soap Making

Due to the complexity of the full boiling process, it is generally not used in small and village scale soap making. However, the semi-boiling and the cold process normally used by the small-scale soap makers are not suitable for use with non-edible oils due to fact that majority of these oils have deep colour and bad odour. Instead, a combination of the full-boiling and semi-boiling process is used.

In the combined process, the deep coloured and bad smelling non-edible oils to be purified are first saponified, and then grained to remove the colour and odour. The grained soap obtained is used in soapmaking together with other pale coloured oils, using the semi-boiled process.

A typical formulation and process involving the use of neem, castor and physic nut oils is described as follows:

Raw Materials

Neem Oil 60 kg Physic nut Oil 35 kg Castor Oil 5 kg Caustic Soda 14 kg Sodium Carbonate 25 kg Common Salt 8 kg

Process The process oil is clarified by boiling with an equal volume of water and draining the water out after settling, with the dirt from the oil. 8.4 kg of the caustic soda is then dissolved in 25 kg of water to form a 33% solution. The neem oil is then put in a boiling pan over fire and the caustic solution run into it little by little with proper stirring. When all the caustic soda is used up in the saponification of the oil after about 4-5

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 155

hours boiling, the salt is dissolved in a small quantity of water and is added to the soap and stirred. The homogeneous soap is then grained and the colouring matter in the oil separates out from the soap and settles down with the excess lye. About 80 kg of water is then added to the grained soap and after proper stirring for some time, the contents of the boiling pan are allowed to settle for one night, when the pure soap floats on the surface of the lye. The coloured spent lye with the impurities are drained out, and the soap melted with some quantity of water.

It must be noted that since non-edible oils have comparatively large proportions of free fatty acids, retardation of the saponification sometimes occurs because the free fatty acids sometimes form granular soap and accumulate a considerable quantity of caustic soda, thus preventing free contact between the oil and the caustic. When retardation occurs, some water should be added to the soap and boiled with stirring.

The melted neem soap can be drained into soap moulding boxes to harden and keep for future use, or when a continuous process is being done, the neem soap is melted with some water. Meanwhile the remaining 6.6 kg of caustic soda is dissolved in 16.8 kg of water. Some of the caustic solution is added to the melted soap and the physic nut and castor oils added and stirred. The remaining caustic solution is added to the soap in bits until it is all used up to complete the saponification process. The sodium carbonate (or 25 kg of 40oBe sodium silicate solution) can be introduced at this stage and stirred for about an hour. Colour and perfume may be added and the soap drained into moulds. The temperature at the time of moulding, in the case of pure soap, should not exceed 70oC.

Perfumes for Herbal Soaps

Various formulation of perfumes for different types of soap

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 156

Soap Perfumery

In perfuming soap, the above-mentioned essential oils are seldom or never employed alone, two or more different kinds being combined in order to produce the particular odour desired; and the proper blending of the perfumes is an art acquired only after considerable experience. The different and graduated odours, both in character and intensity, and the art of the perfumer consists in blending the oils, in such proportions, that the different characteristic odours are brought out, and rendered as effective as possible, by contrast; and yet are combined in one harmonious whole. The odours, themselves, of the essential oils can be grouped into distinct series, or octaves, and are almost as capable of being tabulated in scale, as are the notes of music. For full information on this subject, Dr. Piesse’s excellent work on essential oils may be consulted; it will be sufficient in this place to give one or two examples of mixtures actually used in perfuming toilet soaps. The quantities given below, are in each case, for 1cwt. of soap:

Honey Soap

Citronella 9 oz. Oil of Lemon Grass 4½ oz. Oil of Cassia 2¼ oz.

Orange Soap

Oil of Orange peel 9½ oz. Oil of Thyme 2¼ oz. Oil of Cinnamon 5 dr.

Lemon Soap Oil of Lemon 9½ oz. Oil of Lemon Grass 5 oz. Oil of Bergamot 4½ oz. Oil of Cloves 2¼ oz.

Different Method of Soap Making

There are four basic methods for making soap for small scale industry:

1. Melt and Pour: A process in which you melt pre-made blocks of soap and add your own fragrance.

2. Cold Process: The most common method of making soap from scratch with oils and lye.

3. Hot Process: A variation of the cold process method, where the soap is actually cooked in a crockpot or oven.

4. Re-batching: A method of grinding up bars of soap, adding milk or water, and re-blending them.

Each method has pros, and cons, and variations. Reviewing the two most popular methods, melt and pour and cold process, will help you decide which is right for you.

Melt and Pour Soap Making

Making soap with a melt and pour base is sort of like making a cake with a cake mix. What you lose in control of your ingredients and customization of your recipe, you make up for in safety, ease, and convenience.

With melt and pour soap making, you buy pre-made blocks of uncoloured, unscented soap “base” from a craft store or soap supplier. You melt the soap base in the microwave or a double boiler. When the soap is fully melted, add fragrance, colour

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 159

and/or additives. Put it in a mould, and voila, you’re done. The soap is ready to use as soon as it hardens.

To get started with melt and pour soap making, you need:

A countertop or other clean workspace with a microwave or double boiler

A heat-resistant bowl for the microwave

A couple of spoons or whisks

Some melt and pour soap base

A set of measuring spoons

Fragrance, colour, or additives, as desired

Something to mould the soap in

Pros and Cons of Melt and Pour Soap

There are some considerations for this type of process, including:

Pros:

An easy and inexpensive way to start making soap

No need to deal with dangerous lye mixture

You don’t need a lot of ingredients to start

Your soap is ready to use as soon as it hardens

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 160

Cons:

No control over your ingredients

Melt and pour is not quite as natural as other methods. (Many manufacturers add chemicals to increase lather or to better allow the soap to melt.)

Your soap is only as good as the base you purchase

Cold Process Soap

If making melt and pour soap is akin to using a cake mix, cold process is making your cake from scratch. You control everything that goes into the pot and you can make it as natural as you want. Your setup is a little more complicated and you’ll need to learn a few techniques of the craft first.

To make cold process soap, you heat the oils in your soap pot until they’re approximately 100 degrees. Slowly add the lye-water mixture and blend the soap until it thickens to trace. After the mixture reaches trace, you add your fragrance, colour, and additives and pour it into the mould. The raw soap will take about 24 hours to harden and about four weeks to cure before it’s ready to use.

To get started making cold process soap, you’ll need:

A flat, uncluttered workspace with a heat source and access to water

Some animal fats or vegetable oils

A pitcher of lye-water

A soap pot and some other easily found tools and equipment

Fragrance or essential oil, as desired

Natural or synthetic colorant, as desired

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 161

A mould to pour the raw soap into

A cool, dry place to let the soap cure

Pros and Cons of Cold Process Soap Making

This process has a number of considerations to take into account, including:

Pros:

Your soap is truly made from scratch

You control all of the ingredients in the soap

You can tailor your recipe into unlimited variations

Cons:

You need to learn how to safely work with lye

You’ll need more ingredients and tools to start

It takes longer to make and there is more clean-up involved

You need to wait several weeks before your soap is ready to use

Whichever method you choose, you can make great soap. Work patiently and follow the instructions closely to start with. Once you’re familiar with the basic steps, you’ll be able to let your creative inspirations flow and make all sorts of wonderful soap creations.

Processing details of soap manufacture

The kettle method of making soap is still used today by small soap manufacturing companies. This process takes from four to eleven days to complete, and the quality of each batch is inconsistent due to the variety of oils used. Around 1940, engineers and scientists developed a more efficient manufacturing process, called the continuous process. This procedure is employed by large soap manufacturing companies all around the world today. Exactly as the name states, in the continuous process soap is produced continuously, rather than one batch at a time. Technicians have more control of the production in the continuous process, and the steps are much quicker than in the kettle method—it takes only about six hours to complete a batch of soap.

The Kettle Process

1. Boiling: Fats and alkali are melted in a kettle, which is a steel tank that can stand three stories high and hold several thousand pounds of material. Steam coils within the kettle heat the batch and bring it to a boil. After boiling, the mass thickens as the fat reacts with the alkali, producing soap and glycerine.

2. Salting: The soap and glycerine must now be separated. The mixture is treated with salt, causing the soap to rise to the top and the glycerine to settle to the bottom. The glycerine is extracted from the bottom of the kettle.

3. Strong change: To remove the small amounts of fat that have not saponified, a strong caustic solution is added to the kettle. This step in the process is called "strong change." The mass is brought to a boil again, and the last of the fat turns to soap. The batch may be given another salt treatment at this time, or the manufacturer may proceed to the next step.

4. Pitching: The next step is called "pitching." The soap in the kettle is boiled again with added water. The mass eventually separates into two layers. The top layer is called "neat soap," which is about 70% soap and 30% water. The lower

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 163

layer, called "nigre," contains most of the impurities in the soap such as dirt and salt, as well as most of the water. The neat soap is taken off the top. The soap is then cooled. The finishing process was the developed around 1940 and used by today's major soap-making companies, the above illustrations show the continuous process of making soap.

The Continuous Process

1. Splitting: The first step of the continuous process splits natural fat into fatty acids and glycerine. The equipment used is a vertical stainless-steel column with the diameter of a barrel called a hydrolyser. It may be as tall as 80 feet (24 m). Pumps and meters attached to the column allow precise measurements and control of the process. Molten fat is pumped into one end of the column, while at the other end water at high temperature (266°F [130°C]) and pressure is introduced. This splits the fat into its two components. The fatty acid and glycerine are pumped out continuously as fatter and water enter. The fatty acids are then distilled for purification.

2. Mixing: The purified fatty acids are next mixed with a precise amount of alkali to form soap. Other ingredients such as abrasives and fragrance are also mixed in. The hot liquid soap may be then whipped to incorporate air.

3. Cooling and finishing: The soap may be poured into molds and allowed to harden into a large slab. It may also be cooled in a special freezer. The slab is cut into smaller pieces of bar size, which are then stamped and wrapped. The entire continuous process, from splitting to finishing, can be accomplished in several hours.

4. Milling: Most toiletry soap undergoes additional processing called milling. The milled bar lathers up better and has a finer consistency than non-milled soap. The cooled soap is fed through several sets of heavy rollers (mills), which crush and knead it. Perfumes can best be incorporated at this time because their volatile oils do not evaporate in the cold mixture. After the soap emerges from the mills, it is pressed into a smooth cylinder and extruded. The extruded soap is cut into bar size, stamped and wrapped.

Plant Layout

Principles of plant layout

Some of the guiding principles for detailed plant layout will be discussed for the benefit of those making layout decisions for the first time.

Storage Layout

Storage facilities for raw materials and intermediate and finished products may be located in isolated areas or in adjoining areas. Hazardous materials become a decided menace to life and property when stored in large quantities and should consequently be isolated. Storage in adjoining areas to reduce materials handling may introduce an obstacle toward future expansion of the plant. Arranging storage of materials so as to facilitate or simplify handling is also a point to be considered to design. Where it is possible to pump a single material to an elevation so that subsequent handling can be accomplished by gravity into intermediate reaction and storage units, costs may be reduced. Liquids can be stored in small containers, barrels, horizontal or vertical tanks and vats, either indoors or out of doors.

Equipment Layout

In making a layout, ample space should be assigned to each piece of equipment; accessibility is an important factor for maintenance.

It is extremely poor economy to fit the equipment layout too closely into a building. A slightly larger building appears necessary will cost little more than one that is / that crowded. The extra cost will indeed be small in comparison with the penalties that will be extracted if, in order to iron out the kines, the building must be expanded.

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 165

The operations that constitute a process are essentially a series of unit operations that may be carried on simultaneously. These include filtration, evaporation, crystallization, separation and drying. Since these operations are repeated several times in the flow of materials, it should be possible to arrange the necessary equipment into groups of the same kinds. This sort of layout will make possible a division of operation labour so that one or two operators can be detailed to tend all equipment of a like nature.

The relative levels of the several pieces of equipment and their accessories determine their placement. Although gravity flow is usually preferable, it is not altogether necessary because liquids can be transported by blowing or by pumping and solids can be moved by mechanical means. Gravity flow may be said to cost nothing to operate, whereas the various mechanical means of transportation involve the first cost of the necessary equipment and the cost of operation and maintenance. But material must be elevated to a level where gravity flow must start. However, gravity flow usually means a multi-storey layout, whereas the factors favouring a single-story plant may largely, if not entirely, compensate for the cost of mechanical transportation.

Access for initial construction and maintenance is a necessary part of planning. For example, overhead equipment must have space for lowering into place, and heat- exchange equipment should be located near access areas where trucks or hoist can be placed for pulling and replacing tube bundles. Thus, space should be provided for repair and replacement equipment, such as cranes and forked trucks, as well as access way around doors and underground hatches.

Safety: A great deal of planning is governed by local and national safety and fire code requirements. Fire protection consisting of reservoirs, mains, hydrant, hose houses, fire pumps, reservoirs, sprinklers in building, explosion barriers and directional routing of explosion forces to clear areas and dikes for combustible - product storage tanks must be incorporated to protect costly plant investment and reduce insurance rates.

Plant Expansion: Expansion must always be kept in mind. The question of multiplying the number of units or increasing the size of the prevailing unit merits must be studied. Suffice it to say that one must exercise engineering judgment; that as a penalty for bad judgment, scrapping of present serviceable equipment constitutes but one phase, for

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 166

shutdown due to re-modelling may involve a greater loss of money than that due to rejected equipment.

Nevertheless, the cost of change must sometimes be borne, for the economies of larger units may, in the end, make replacement imperative.

Floor Space: Floor space may or may not be a major factor in the design of a particular plant. The value of land may be a considerable item. The engineers however, follow the rule of practicing economy of floor space, consistent with good housekeeping in the plant land with proper consideration given to line flow of materials, access to equipment, space to permit working on parts of equipment that need frequent servicing, and safety and comfort of the operators.

Utilities Servicing: The distribution of gas, air, water, steam, power and electricity is not always a major item, in as much as the flexibility of distribution of these services permits designing to meet almost any condition. But a little regard for the proper placement of each of these services, practicing good design, aids in of operation, orderliness and reduction in costs of maintenance. No pipes should be laid on the floor or between the floor and the 7-ft. level, where the operator must pass or work. Chaotic arrangement of piping invites chaotic operation of the plant. The flexibility of standard pipe fittings and power - transmission mechanisms render this problem one of minor difficulty.

Building: After a complete study of quantitative factors, the selection of the building or buildings must be considered. Standard factory buildings are to be desired, but, if none can be found satisfactory to handle the space and process requirements of the chemical engineer, then a competent architect should be consulted to design a building around the process - not a beautiful structure into which a process must fit. It is fundamental in chemical engineering industries that the buildings should be built around the process, instead of the process being made to fit building of conventional design.

In many cases only the control area requires housing, with the process equipment erected outdoors. This is known as outdoor construction and such layouts should be considered for many types of plants. What consideration must be given to buildings depends upon conditions. If the designer must adapt his design to fit an old building or

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 167

building space already erected, his problem is cut out for him and he has limiting conditions. However, the selection of the design of a new building to meet the requirements of the process is more scientific. In this case, one finds before him practically all types of standard building, built in units, interlocking or otherwise, ready for shipment and erection.

Throughout chemical industry, much thought must be given to the disposal of waste liquors, fumes, dusts and gases. Ventilation, fume elimination, and drainage may require the installation of extra equipment. This may involve the design of the individual pieces of operating equipment, or it may require the installation of isolated equipment. If the latter be the case, the location of such equipment where it will not interfere with the flow of materials in process should be practiced. The selection of the proper piece of equipment for doing this service is also an important point; the less attention the ventilating, fume, or waste-elimination systems require, the better service they may render. Sometimes air conditioning of the plant is called for and may require an elaborate setup. But the installation of such equipment, when needed, pays in better service from operators, less discomfort, greater production and a better morale than when such conditions are left to nature. It must be recognized that there is not only one solution to the problem of layout of the equipment. There are many rational designs. Which plant to adopt must be decided upon after exercise of engineering judgment and after striking a balance between the advantages and disadvantages of each possible choice?

Material-handling Equipment

Consideration of equipment for materials handling is only a minor factor in most cases of arrangement, because of the multiplicity of available materials handling devices. But where this operation is paramount in a process, serious thought must be given to it. Again, it should be said that engineering judgement must be exercised. Whenever possible, one should take advantage of the topography of the site location, and the process involved.

Access Roads: Existing or possible future highways adjacent to the plant must be known in order to plan access roads within the plant. Roadways of the correct capacity and at the right location should be provided for in a traffic study and overall master

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 168

road plan of the plant area. Major provisions in road planning for multipurpose service are:

1. A means of interplant movement for road traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular

2. Heavier and wider roads for large-scale traffic

3. Routing of heavy traffic outside the operational areas

4. Roadways for access to initial construction, maintenance, and repair points

5. Roadways to isolated points, storage tanks and safety equipment, such as fire hydrants.

Project Location

The project is required to set up in an area with access to highway and good supply of power and water. Ease of availability of both skilled and unskilled labour is ideal for the project location. Proximity to town will provide good access to talented manpower for managing the plant operations.

Requirement of Land Area

Total Land Requirement is about 0.5 acre, approximately 2,000 sq mt which would include:

Area (in sq mt)

Extraction, Soap and Packaging Plant 400 Raw Material Storage 100 Finished Goods Storage 100 Testing Laboratory 50 Boiler House 50 Administrative Block 100 Security Area 10 Open spaces for Green Patch and within factory 1190 movement area

Built up Area

From the table in Point 7.2 it can be seen that out of 2000 sq. mt. of land only 810 sq. mt. is will be the built-up area whereas the remaining portion will be left open for green patch, parking and ample space for vehicular movement within factory premises for the purpose of movement of goods and raw materials

[NPCS/4211/23661] Page No 172

Construction Schedule

From the date of acquisition of the land and after completion of all statutory formalities, the construction would commence. The construction is assumed to be completed in all respects, including installation of plant and machinery and building the administrative blocks, within 5 months from the date of commencement of construction. The lead considered, for the acquisition of each of the primary plant and machinery, is around 60 days. The date of acquisition of land is considered as the commencement of Year 1. Around a month’s time has been considered for the purpose of completion of statutory formalities.

Considering the afore-mentioned timelines, the production commences from the beginning of the 7th month of Year 1. Therefore, in Year 1 only 6 months’ production has been considered in this Project Report.
