2.4 Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region

Hydrogen Peroxide plant:

As far as Hydrogen Peroxide is concern India is net importer of Hydrogen Peroxide. There are only

four manufacturers in India:

1. Gujarat Alkalies and Chemicals Ltd.

2. National Peroxide

3. Asian Peroxide

4. Hindustan organic Chemicals Ltd.

Crude Oil Refineries are the largest growth segment and domestic supply is lower than the market

demand. Looking to the Growth of end use segments we can say that the demand of Hydrogen

Peroxide will increase. Based on data of Year 2014-15 the demand supply scenario is as follows

Table 2-2: Demand Supply Scenario

Key Players Installed Capacity

(MT/A)

Production in

FY 2014 – 15 (MT/A) Capacity Utilization (%)

NPL 48,000 44,111 92 %

GACL 40,000 38,201 95.5 %

APL 18,000 9,035 50 %

HOCL 5225 4,825 92 %

Total Production (FY 2014 – 15) Total Demand (FY 2014 – 15)

96172 MTPA 119800 MTPA

CAGR = 4 % Per Annum.

Gap between demand and supply = 23268 MT/A.

So by seeing above shown huge gap between demand and supply, this project is necessary.

Chloromethane Plant:

GACL is one of the major producers of caustic soda in country. During production of Caustic

soda, Chlorine and Hydrogen are generated as a co-products and hydrochloric acid is being

produced from these hydrogen and chlorine gas.

For manufacturing of Chloromethane either methane or methanol is use as a major raw

material, whereas second major raw material is hydrochloric acid or chlorine. And in methanol

base route, methanol and hydrochloric acid will be major raw material to produce

Chloromethane in our process.

Huge quantity of hydrochloric acid is being generated by Chlor-Alkali industry due to

compulsion of its production by process defaults. So this is very good method to utilize

hydrochloric acid as a value addition product.

Also there are huge demand and supply gap for chloromethane in India. Refer Table 2-3 for

detail (Data for FY 2014).

In India there are no enough plant capacities for fulfilling demand of Chloromethane so India

needs to import chloromethane from other country for fulfilling its huge total demand. From

above table around 42 % of total demand is fulfill by import only.

So to reduce import quantity of Chloromethane from other country and full filling the huge

gap between demands and supply this new plant is necessary.

2.5 Demand-Supply Gap

Phosphoric Acid Plant:

As far as Phosphoric Acid is concern India is net importer of Phosphoric Acid. There are only two

3.5 Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/flow chart

showing the project layout, components of the project etc, should be given)

1. Phosphoric Acid

Process Description:

The conceptual process for Technical and Food Grade Phosphoric Acid (TGA/FGA) production includes

the following primary stages:

1) Pretreatment:

a) Leaching stage: Leaching of phosphate rock with HCl (32%) in agitated vessels to produce

dissolution liquor.

b) Flocculation and Settling: The dissolution liquor flows by gravity into a continuous thickener.

A controlled quantity of suitable flocculating agent is added. The slurry in the thickener

separates into a relatively clear overflow and a thickened underflow. The overflow is fed to

the clarifier for final solids settling and the clarifier overflow is pumped to an intermediate

tank before being fed to the Solvent Extraction Plant. The underflow from the clarifier is

pumped back to the thickener. The underflow from the thickener is pumped to the filtration

section.

c) Slurry Filtration: The underflow from the first thickener is continuously pumped to a vacuum

belt filter. The filtered acid is transferred to an intermediate storage before transfer to

the Solvent Extraction plant.

2) Solvent Extraction:

Solvent Extraction is performed using Tenova proprietary equipment:

Bateman reverse Flow Mixer Settlers (RFMS)

Bateman Pulsed Columns (BPC). The performance of the BPC is determined by the

hydrodynamics within the column (flux, intensity of pulsation: frequency x amplitude and

phase ratio) as well as mass transfer considerations.

Purification of the dissolution liquor is carried out in four stages: Extraction, Stripping, Purification and

Washing. The overall solvent extraction process also includes the solvent regeneration and solvent

recovery operations.

a) Solvent Extraction and Stripping: The feed to the extraction process is the

dissolution liquor from pretreatment. This stream is contacted with barren organic

extract ant. The phosphoric acid passes into the organic phase, leaving most of the

GUJARAT ALKALIS AND

CHEMICALS LTD.




PRE-FEASIBILITY

REPORT


impurities in the aqueous raffinate stream. Depending on the results of the pilot

test-work, Extraction and Stripping may be carried out in RFMS, BPC or a

combination. The Organic/Aqueous (O: A) ratio and flux in the extraction/stripping

batteries will be determined during the pilot tests.

A CaCl2 (35% w/w) stream will be fed to the stripping battery to improve the solvent extraction

efficiency and to reduce P2O5 losses in the spent brine.

b) Solvent Purification: This stage is intended to contact the loaded (relatively impure)

solvent with purified phosphoric acid to remove most metal impurities. Purification is

carried out in a BPC. The quantity of impurities to be removed is small and thus a

large O:A ratio is employed. The Organic/Aqueous (O:A) ratio and flux in the

purification BPC will be determined during the pilot tests.

c) Solvent Washing: In this operation, the phosphoric acid is transferred from the organic

phase to treated water in a BPC. Part of the purified acid is recycled to the purification

stage while the remaining portion is fed to the metal removal plant for further treatment.

The phase ratio chosen depends essentially on the acid concentration required

for the purification process. The Organic/Aqueous (O:A) ratio and flux in the washing

pulsed column will be determined during the pilot tests.

d) Metals Removal: The purified acid from solvent washing is contacted with a metals

removal solvent in a counter current mixer-settler (RFMS) battery in which the cationic

contaminants such as Fe, Cu and other heavy metals are extracted into the solvent. The

loaded solvent is washed with water followed by reagent washing to remove the

extracted contaminants. The purified phosphoric acid from metals removal section is fed

to the concentration section. There are a total of seven RFMS in this section.

e) Solvent Regeneration: This serves to wash part of the barren solvent, (typically

10%, with water and then with diluted NaOH solution in RFMS) before it is

returned to extraction. The wash water is used in upstream processes and the spent

NaOH solution is discarded.

3) Post treatment:

The purified product acid is subjected to additional purification stages:

a) Concentration : The P2O5 stream from Metals Removal is concentrated in a

concentration unit with low-pressure steam as the heating medium using a forced

circulation type triple effect system. The acidic condensate is recycled to the process.

b) De-colorization: De-colorization is, in essence, the removal of trace organic

impurities in the phosphoric acid by adsorption on activated carbon. It is carried

out on the concentrated acid and results in a water-clear product. The activated

carbon is regenerated.

c) HCl Stripping and Final Concentration: The phosphoric acid after the stage of de-

colorization is further concentrated as required by the following step.

d) De-fluorination: The residual fluoride is stripped from the concentrated acid with

live steam to the target limit of maximum 8-10 ppm.

e) Oxidation: The concentrated acid at this stage still contains minor traces of

organic matter therefore it is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide solution to obtain a “water

clear“ stable product.

REPORT


f) Wastes Treatment: The underflow of the first thickener in the dissolution area is fed to

the belt filter for solid-liquid separation. The acidic cake from the filter is re-slurried and

mixed with the raffinate solution from the solvent extraction area for subsequent

neutralization. The acidic filtrate is returned to the leaching reactors.

The raffinate stream from solvent extraction contains calcium chloride along with HCl and

H3PO4. The stream is treated with milk-of-lime for neutralization and is then sent to the

thickener for sedimentation. The under-flow containing calcium phosphate and other impurities is

pumped to a filter-press. The overflow from the thickener with pH above 7 is fed to settling pits and

then to the lagoon. The neutralized cake from the filter-press is discharged to solids-waste storage.

This process is based on circulating working solution, known as the auto oxidation process for

Hydrogen Peroxide production. The steps for the Hydrogen Peroxide manufacturing are

Hydrogenation, Oxidation, Extraction and Distillation. The working solution consists of two organic

solvents AB and tributylurea and 2 EAQ (Ethyl Anthra Quinone).

Hydrogenation

Working solution and Hydrogen are fed to hydrogenator and in the presence of palladium catalyst, 2

EAQ will be converted to 2 Ethyl hydro anthrax quinine. The working solution, excess hydrogen and

catalyst discharge from the top of the hydrogenator. Gas and liquid streams are separated with the

Hydrogen being returned to hydrogenator via a recycle compressor. The working solution and catalyst

flow to primary filters. Here a forward flow of liquid is separated from catalyst and passes to an

oxidizer feed tank while the reaming working solution and catalyst are returned to hydrogenator.

Oxidation

The hydrogenated working solution is oxidized with air (oxygen) in an oxidizer. In this step of process

Hydrogen Peroxide is produced which is dissolved in working solution. The depleted air from the

oxidizer will [ass through the solvent recovery system before discharge to the atmosphere.

Extraction

Working solution from the oxidizer degases is into the bottom and demineralized water into the top of

an extractor. Due to different densities of the two phases, this working solution flows upwards and

discharges from the top of the extractors after being tripped of it hydrogen peroxide. The aqueous

phase discharging from the bottom of the extractor contains up to 35% Hydrogen Peroxide.

Product treatment

Hydrogen peroxide passes through coalesces, where traces of solvents are separated from Hydrogen

Peroxide. Purified Hydrogen Peroxide is pumped to the product day tank to the distillation.

Distillation

Crude Hydrogen Peroxide with a concentration of 35% is pumped to vaporizer system. The steam is

supplied to vaporizer for boil up to Hydrogen peroxide. The vapor from the vaporiser passes through

the mist separator prior to entering the bottom of an absorption columns. Hydrogen Peroxide, having

a high boiling temperature than after is the “Heavy” key component in the still, so it concentrate in the

bottom at strength from 50% to 70%. Demineralized water is use for the reflux in the column. The

product is drawn from the bottom of the column and pumped to the storage tanks.

3. Chloromethane


In the hydrochlorination unit methanol and hydrogen chloride reacts to methyl chloride. The reaction

takes place in a catalytic fixed bed reactor. Catalyst is Al2O3.The main by-product is dimethyl ether

(DME). DME is removed from the M1 vapor with concentrated sulfuric acid. The acid is neutralized and

then the DME is stripped to be incinerated. The hydrochlorination reaction is done with some HCl

excess to get good methanol conversion and reduce the DME formation. This excess HCl leaves the

process with the produced water as weak aqueous hydrochloric acid.

Methyl chloride is converted to methylene chloride and chloroform in the thermal chlorination unit.

Some amount of tetra chloromethane (M4) is also produced.

Other byproducts are saturated and unsaturated C2 components. Most of them leave the process as

heavies with the M4. Excess HCl from the thermal unit that is not required in the hydro unit is

absorbed into the weak aqueous HCl from hydrochlorination. The M4 leaves the thermal unit as a

crude stream still containing some lights (M3) and the heavies. This RCl stream is incinerated in an

ISBL thermal treatment unit (TTU) to convert the M4 to HCl.

Effluent treatment plant:


All the effluent goes to the central effluent treatment plant and then it is neutralized with NaOH and

HCl for maintaining pH in standard range and transfer into centralize lagoon.


The Hydrogen Peroxide process has two main sections:

1. Organic Section

2. Hydrogen Peroxide Concentration section.

The waste water generated from both the sections are collected separately to minimize the organic

contaminated effluent load on effluent treatment section. Organics will be recovered in various

separators and the aqueous stream containing traces of organics will be passed through activated

carbon bed before sending to final effluent pit of H2O2 for neutralization. The drain water is neutralized

using caustic soda in plant. Organic content in the caustic soda is adsorbed on activated carbon before

use in neutralization. The neutralized water is passed through activated carbon filters to ensure

acceptable levels of organic impurities. This final effluent pit will receive contaminated and non-

organic streams from existing as well as from expansion H2O2 plants. DM water unit regeneration and

cooling tower blow down are also combined. All collected effluent streams in the final effluent will be

neutralized with caustic soda, HCl or HNO3 and the neutral effluent will be sent to a lagoon through

activated carbon filter which shall confirm to GPCB norms.


Generated liquid effluent goes to centralized effluent treatment plant (Lagoon).
