Brief Description of Nature of the Project:

Proposed project is for Increase in production of Benzoic acid beyond the capacity for which EC was granted and will be effected by way of process improvement viz • Better recovery of Benzoic Acid from scrubber water due to better control of crystallizer unit • Increase in conversion of Benzoic Acid during purification of Phthalic Anhydride.

Recovery of Benzoic Acid from scrubber solution at the time of applying for EC was about 50% and the production quantity was estimated based on the results observed during

Prefeasibility Report for Proposed Expansion IG Petrochemicals Limited laboratory trails and reported at 1000 TPA. Due enhanced recovery & purity from effluents/residues, it will be possible to recover Benzoic acid capacity upto 1250 TPA. Due to above, company proposes to apply as per newly inserted clause 7 (ii) (a) vide SO No. 3518 (E) dt 23.11.2016

Need of project with description for region and country

Benzoic acid is an important organic intermediate used in number of organic synthesis reactions. Salts of benzoic acid are used as food preservatives and benzoic acid is an important precursor for the industrial synthesis of many other organic substances. Benzoic acid is also used in manufacture of Phenols and Benzoate plasticizers. Benzoic acid also has number of medicinal uses such as topical antiseptics, expectorants, analgesics and decongestants. Benzoic acid is a general purpose organic chemical and available quite cheaply but has plenty of uses and hence used immensely in Organic chemical industry.

Project Description with Processes Details:

Benzoic acid Recovery

Organic residue from forerunning columns of PA-1, PA-2 & dehydrated molten material from crystallizer plant will be fed to Benzoic acid recovery column.

The scrubber from wash water containing Phthalic Anhydride (PA) & Benzoic acid (BA) crystals will be subjected for lower temperature thereby partly crystallizing the two products. The cooling will be achieved by evaporating water from the wash water solution at reduced pressure. The remaining solution will then be fed to vacuum rotary filter thereby separating the wash water and BA+PA crystals (cake). The cake of crystals thus formed of BA+PA crystals is melted for recovery in a BA recovery column.

The remaining wash water will then be taken for MA recovery to neighboring sister concern M/s Mysore Petrochemicals Ltd.

Organic residue from forerunning column & cake from Crystallization will be fed to Benzoic acid recovery column.

The column works on batch mode under vacuum. After achieving the top cut purity benzoic acid shall be recovered as pure product.

At the end of distillation operation the distillation still mainly containing Phthalic Anhydride shall be recycled to recover Phthalic Anhydride through normal distillation process.

Note on increase in BA production Phthalic Anhydride is manufactured by partial oxidation of O-Xylene with air in presence of catalyst in a fixed bed tubular reactor. Benzoic acid is one of the side reaction products

Prefeasibility Report for Proposed Expansion IG Petrochemicals Limited

while converting O-Xylene to Phthalic Anhydride. Formation of Benzoic Acid at reactor outlet based on O-Xylene feed is about 0.75%. There are three stages whereby Benzoic acid is separated from the organic streams as below:

➢ Goes along with crude PA and Separation during PA Purification: While separating Phthalic Anhydride from the gas stream, small amount of Benzoic Acid condenses along with crude Phthalic Anhydride & flows to storage vessels. In the first stage of purification, crude Phthalic Anhydride is subjected to thermal pretreatment where chemicals are dozed to achieve required Phthalic Anhydride product quality. In the thermal treatment, Phthalic Acid which is in the range of about 1.0% in crude Phthalic anhydride partly converts to Benzoic acid and conversion of Phthalic Acid to Benzoic Acid depends on dehydration of Phthalic Acid to Phthalic Anhydride during thermal treatment & the temperatures in thermal pretreatment to achieve required quality of pure Phthalic Anhydride at desired through put. ➢ Removed in Scrubber and recovered from scrubber effluent: Off gas containing Phthalic Anhydride, Maleic Anhydride, Benzoic Acid & other organic impurities is scrubbed in three stage scrubber for dissolving organics before letting clean off gas to atmosphere. Scrubber water containing mainly Maleic Acid & Benzoic Acid/Phthalic Acid as well as other organic Acids is sent to Benzoic Acid recovery plant where scrubber solution temperature is reduced to about 15-18oC in crystallizers. Solubility of Benzoic Acid & Phthalic Acid reduces with reduction of temperature & thus Phthalic Acid & Benzoic Acid crystalizes. The slurry is filtered in rotary pressure filter & the solids mainly containing Benzoic Acid & Phthalic Acid is dehydrated & sent to BA recovery column. Recovery of Benzoic Acid from scrubber solution based on lab trials which was about 50% and the quantity was estimated based on the results observed during laboratory trails.

Reasons for Increase in BA production: At the time of applying for initial permissions (Environmental clearance /consent to establish), theoretical generation of benzoic acid was estimated based on above facts. There is an improvement in BA recovery in plant due to following: ➢ Conversion of Benzoic Acid in thermal pretreatment has increased by about 0.1% which has resulted in increasing Benzoic Acid recovery from 56 to 82 kg/hr. ➢ Recovery of Benzoic Acid from the scrubber solution is observed to be higher about 60% & thus production of Benzoic acid has increased from 58 kg/hr to 70 kg/hr. ➢ Additionally, Benzoic Acid column is designed to get purity of 99.5%, whereas presently, we are maintaining purity of about 96% which results in increasing production of about 3.5%. Considering 98% recovery & 96% purity, Benzoic Acid per hour will be 152 kg/hr.

Prefeasibility Report for Proposed Expansion IG Petrochemicals Limited

➢ Benzoic acid can be purified by recrystallization from water because of its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water. This process usually gives a yield of around 65% Thus, the Benzoic acid production in existing and proposed production scenario is as under:

Existing Proposed post Process step Remarks (as per CTO) in kg/hr expansion in kg/hr Recovery from PA 56.1 82 purification From scrubber 58.2 70 soln TOTAL 116.7 152 For 8000 hours 934 TPA 1216 TPA annually Additional due to higher Say approximately 1000 TPA 1250 TPA recoveries in BA column

Resource Optimization:

The resource optimization shall be carried out at the site and with existing operation at site to reduce wastage and minimum transport needs.

Availability of Resources (Water, Energy/Power Requirement):

1) Power: No additional power requirement for proposed project.

2) Water: No additional fresh water requirement for proposed project. The proposal will result in enhanced recovery of Benzoic acid and will thus result in reduced organic load to ETP thereby enhancing ETP performance and lower quantity of residue for disposal. Above effluent shall be treated at “existing upgraded ETP at IGPL and shall be sent to CETP Taloja after the treatment.

Manpower:

No additional manpower shall be required for the proposed project.

Steam / Process heat Requirement:

No additional fuel requirement for proposed project.

The area has a coastal climate with monsoon occurring between June to September. Like any other coastal area, wind speed, relative humidity is moderate to high and temperature variation is minimal.

Micrometeorological information for IGPL, Taloja was collected by installing a micro meteorological station at project site. Data was collected for wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and rainfall. Whereas the first two parameters viz. wind speed and direction play a vital role in dispersion of pollutants the later ones i.e. humidity and precipitation are important to find amount of deposition for the region.

Wind

The data on wind patterns are pictorially represented by means of wind rose for Winter Jan-Feb 2014 in figure below. The winds were moderate and are predominantly from directions between north and east. Macro level wind patterns seem to be affected by the presence of Arabian sea to the South west and the mountain ranges which deflect the winds. Calm conditions were recorded during the monitoring period. Overall
