2.4. Need For the Project & Project Benefits: Being a ‘Life Saving Drug’, there is a huge demand and potential of marketing in Gujarat, India and around the world.

In fact, bulk drugs/ API’s are normally not used in their basic form, so the demand for basic drugs emanates from formulation industries manufacturing medicines in various forms. As medicines are highly consumed in all seasons, there are thousands of companies in India, which are manufacturing tablets, capsules & syrups of the proposed products. In India, it is highly demanded in the states like Gujrat, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, etc. These states are the hub of the Pharmaceuticals markets.

There is huge demand for Export in countries like Sri Lanka, Iran, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Bhutan, Vietnam, Africa, Nigeria, Singapore, Malaysia, Jordan etc.

The project will provide direct employment to skilled workforce and indirect employment (transport, services deliveries etc.) to semi‐skilled and unskilled workers. Thus, the project will have numerous induced impacts on society by generation new employment opportunity and will lead to improvement in the social infrastructure in the region.

4.3. Resource Requirements: (a) Water Presently entire water requirement of the unit is met by private water supplier through tanker and same source will be utilized after proposed project. The total fresh water requirement for existing unit is 2.7 KL/Day and the additional water requirements of the proposed project will be 8.81 KL/Day. Thus, the total fresh water requirement after the proposed project will be 11.51 KL/Day.

As per Guidelines issued by Central Ground Water Authority, Ministry of Water Resources, New Delhi vide Letter No. 21‐4/Guidelines/CGWA/2009‐832, Dated 14/10/2009, the unit falls under White Zone (Safe)and do not covered under the list of critical areas published by CGWA. Also the water requirement of the plant is 11.51 KL/Day which falls within the limit of 1000 KLD as per CGWA, therefore the unit does not require obtaining permission from CGWA for the use/abstraction of ground water.

(b) Power At present the total connected load of power is 45 KVA, which is procured from Pashchim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. It is expected that the power requirement will be increased up to about 60 KVA after the proposed project. Thus, the additional power requirement for the proposed project will be 15 KVA, which will be procured from Pashchim Gujarat Vij Company Ltd.

(c) Fuel Presently the unit uses fire‐wood and LDO/FO as fuel for two steam boilers (0.3 TPH each), out of which Wood fired steam boiler is Working and LDO/FO fired steam boiler is stand by.

After proposed project, LDO/FO will also be required for their new steam boiler (0.6 TPH), which will be kept working. After proposed project, the existing LDO/FO based steam boiler will be dismantled and the existing wood fired boiler will be kept as stand‐by. The details of fuel consumption are given in Table‐4.

4.8. Solvent Recovery System: The industry proposes to manufacture synthetic organic chemicals, which require solvents during various unit processes. The unit intends to use various solvents viz. Mono Chloro Benzene, Acetone and Xylene. The spent solvent generated during the manufacturing process will be recovered by way of distillation and reused in the process. The process of the solvent recovery system is described hereunder;  After the completion of the reaction, the spent solvent/mother liquor will be separated by centrifuge and pumped to distillation reactor. It will be subjected to distillation to separate and recover solvent.  Firstly, the mass will be distilled at required temperature where pure solvent will be distilled out depending on their boiler points and it will be collected in the recovered solvent storage tank and reused in the process.  The recovered solvent will be reused in the process and residue will be sent to TSDF site for the disposal by incineration.  Vaccum will also be applied during distillation.  The overall requirements and mass balance for the solvent based on mass balance of each product has been worked out which is given in Table ‐14. The schematic diagram of the solvent recovery system is shown in the Drawing‐ 2.

Pre-Feasibility Report Page 50 of 70 Proposed Manufacturing Of Synthetic Organic Chemicals

 Measures for achieving maximum solvent recovery:

 The entire manufacturing activities & distillation process will be carried out in the totally closed system.  Maintenance of the pipeline and valves & fittings will be carried out regularly to avoid any leakages.  Reactor will be connected with two numbers of condensers where cooling water and chilled water will be used as media and also equipped with vacuum system as per requirement.  The condenser will be provided with the sufficient HTA and residence time to achieve more than 90% recovery.

During the manufacturing activity 3‐8% of the total solvent is lost; approx. 92 ‐ 97% of solvent is recovered during the process. The fresh solvent requirement will be depended on generation of distillation loss. The details of solvent consumption and mass balance are given below in Table‐14.

No D.G. set has been installed and it will be not provided during the proposed project. Hence there is no major source of noise and vibration from the existing as well as proposed manufacturing activity. However, adequate precautionary measure for noise and vibration control measures as described below will be taken by the unit;

 Proper and timely oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried out for the machineries and equipment to reduce noise generation.  The noise generation will be mitigated by installing noise barriers/absorbers around stationery noise sources. Adequate noise control measures such as anti‐vibration pad for equipment with high vibration will be provided.  All the vibrating parts will be checked periodically and serviced to reduce the noise generation. The equipment, which generates excessive noise, will be provided with enclosures etc.  To minimize the adverse effect on the health, Ear muffs/ earplugs will be provided to the workers working under high noise area.  To reduce the noise generation during the transportation activities; the transport contractor will be instructed kept vehicle periodically serviced and maintain as per the requirement of latest trend in automobile industry. Only those vehicles with PUC’s will be allowed for the transportation.

6. Project Schedule & Cost Estimates

6.1 Schedule of Approval and Implementation

The proposed project has been planned for the manufacturing of Bulk Drugs & Drugs Intermediates within the existing premises. The entire development will take about 6 months for the completion of proposed project. The new construction activities and installation of additional plant & machineries will start after obtaining necessary approval from Ministry of Environment and Forests and State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).

6.2 Capital Investment

The unit is a Small Scale Unit and has made capital investment of Rs. 48.57 lacs in the existing plant and the estimated cost for the proposed project will be about Rs. 36.50 Lacs. The detail breakup of the capital cost is given in Table‐24.

7. Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Plan M/s. Ascent Pharma is an existing small scale unit located in Shapar‐Veraval industrial area of Taluka Kotada Sangani of District Rajkot in Gujarat. Since, the proposed project for the manufacturing of various Synthetic Organic Chemicals (Bulk Drugs & Drugs Intermediates) will be carried out within the existing industrial premises and no additional land will be required there will not be any displacement of population due to proposed project.

8. Final Recommendation

The unit has proposed adequate measures for the prevention and control of pollution. With the execution and operation of such control measures along with proper Environmental Management System, there will not be any major potential for negative impact on the environment due to proposed project.

On the contrary, there will be positive impact on the socio‐economic environment since proposed project will generate some permanent and secondary employment. The unit will also establish Cordial relation with the nearby villagers and will carry out social welfare activities according to their needs.

The proposed project will also boosts up ancillary industrial and commercial activity. Thus, it will improve the economic condition of the area.
