Pre-Feasibility Report 5 of 27
2.3 Need of project and its importance to the country and or region Viscose Filament Yarn (VFY) consumption in Indian market is in the tune of 55 to 56 thousand
tons per annum. In view of closure of domestic VFY producers, Baroda Rayon & National Rayon
Corporation demand supply gap arised and this was bridged through imports from countries
like, China, Germany and Belarus. Imports in the year 2006-07 was nil, which increased to over
20,000 Tons in the year 2013-14.
As exhibited, India has large consumption of VFY, however production capacity is not
commensurate to meet the demand and therefore imports.
To reduce the dependence on imports, it is essential to increase domestic production and
therefore intend to expand the production capacity. This would not only save foreign exchange
for the nation, but also use the resources available like technical and skilled labour.
China has VFY producing plant with large capacities that allows them cost advantages due to
scale of operations and we also need to enhance capacity to compete.
2.4 Demand Supply gap
In last 8 years, the demand continuous to exceed supply from domestic VFY producers, which is
filled by import. The details of imports of last six years are being submitted as under: (in MT)
2007-08 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14
3702 8640 19958 20099 22437 17057 20208
Further the demand has increased in Superfine Denier, i.e. 30 to 60 Deniers, production of these
deniers need more machines to produce as compared to production of fine /coarser denier
yarns. (in MT)
2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14
Domestic consumption
3498 4886 5597 5316 6607
CR 337 854 1106 1658 1875
2.5 Imports v/s indigenous production
As there is ready market in India, by increasing capacity, imports can be reduced resulting in
savings foreign exchange and would be able to create more job opportunities for skilled and
unskilled labours.

Pre-Feasibility Report 6 of 27
2.6 Export Possibility
Viscose Filament Yarn producing units in Germany has stopped production. Considering
unviable operations, some units in China have also stopped operations and few more are on
way. This will create a gap in supply in global market. We expect to increase our market share
as CR has competitive advantage especially because of:
Availability of skilled labours
Expertise in producing fine quality of VFY
Competitive Labour cost
Presently we are exporting to various countries like Morocco, Egypt, Brazil, Bolivia, Algeria,
Nigeria, Italy, Turkey, USA, etc.
2.7 Domestic/ export markets
Domestic market is good and demand is increasing. Association of Man Made Fibre Industry of
India (AMFII) got a study conducted through M/a. Avlon Consulting to assess the future demand
and according to their findings; compounded annual growth of 14.7% in CSY and 2.3% growth
in PSY are projected till 2017-18. Further the demand in global market is also expected to grow
due to stoppage of production in Europe due to higher labour cost. Even producers of VFY at
China are encountering issue of rise in cost on number of issues like energy, labour, etc. and CR
cost competitiveness in domestic and global market would have an edge.
2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to project.
M/s. Century Rayon Ltd. will give direct employment to local people based on qualification and
requirement. In addition to direct employment, indirect employment shall generate ancillary
business to some extent for the local population. In operation phase, the proposed project
would require significant workforce of non-technical and technical persons. Migration of highly
education and skilled experience will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding villages.

Manufacturing Process for Viscose Filament Yarn
Manufacturing of Viscose Filament Yarn
Wood pulp sheet containing cellulose is treated with dilute caustic soda to make it Alkali
Cellulose. The sheets are then cut into small crumbs under controlled condition in shredder. The
crumbs are allowed to age in controlled conditions of temperature and humidity for controlling
viscosity of viscose to make the cellulose suitable for further operation. The crumbs are reacted
with Carbon –disulphide in the Simplex/Churn to form cellulose xanthate. The cellulose xanthate
is dissolved in dilute Caustic Soda to make viscous solution which is further ripened and de-
areated to remove air bubbles before sending to spinning.
Viscose is filtered again, prior to spinning near machines. Viscose is then coagulated to yarn on
passing through Spinbath solution. This is taken over rollers where it is washed with soft water.
After washings, sizing solution this yarn passes over drier drum and it gets dried. The dried yarn is
taken on cylindrical bobbins / Cones on up winding machines. These are inspected and
packed in packing section.

Manufacturing of Sodium Sulphate
Viscose is passed through spin bath solution on spinning machines to regenerate cellulose in the
form of yarn. In this process spin bath solution is diluted and salt is formed. This salt is extracted
out by Crystallization process.
Spin bath is fed to crystallizer which is maintained under vacuum with the help of steam
ejectors. Vapours are absorbed in absorbers and then thus diluted acid is taken to acid storage
tank and recycled in plant. The magma from crystallizer, which is thick solution of sodium
sulphate, is further fed to rotary vacuum filter and dryer to get dry sodium sulphate.

MANUFACTURING OF SULPHURIC ACID
Sulphuric Acid is manufactured by Double Conversion Double Absorption (DCDA) Process.
Molten Sulphur is burnt with dry air to form Sulphur - di - Oxide gas. SO2 thus formed is converted
to SO3 (Sulphur - Tri - Oxide) with air using V2O5 (Vanadium Penta Oxide). This is exothermic
reaction and produced heat is utilised for production of steam. Finally SO3 is dissolved in water
to form Sulphuric Acid. Chemical reaction is given below
S + O2 = SO2

Manufacturing Process of Carbon Disulphide
CS2 gas is manufactured in electric arc furnace using calcined charcoal (carbon) and molten sulphur. Furnace made with MS body has layers of brick linings of insulation, fire & Magnesite bricks. Molten sulphur is fed to furnace where it reacts with well calcined charcoal at temp. around 800°C to produce CS2. The reaction is endothermic. Required heat energy is supplied by electric power.
CS2 produced in gaseous form is condensed in condensers, in 2 steps, using water at 25-30°C and chilled water at 6-7°C. Remaining part of CS2 along with some H2S is further passed through Oil Scrubbing system where CS2 is recovered. Remaining H2S is passed through absorption tower where it absorbed in Caustic Soda to produce Sodium Sulphide as by product.
CS2 is stored in liquid form under water. Storage tanks are kept in dyke filled with water to keep CS2 cool.

Overview of Effluent treatment:
• The effluent from Rayon plant contains mainly zinc and low COD and BOD value.
• Effluent from utilities blow down does not contain any organics load but contains suspended and colloidal solids.
The effluent water flows is around 13,000 m3/day from various process departments is received
through various channels. The pH of these different streams is reads by inserted pH probe in
individual channel. The ph of effluent is mostly acidic in nature and is neutralized by addition of
lime in incoming effluent stream channel & in equalization tank. The effluent water from
equalization tank is pumped by neutralized effluent transfer pump to flash mixer of
clarifloculator. Pumping of effluent water in flash mixer is followed by addition of poly-
electrolyte and then to clarifloculator where flocculation and settling occur. The clarified water
overflows to aeration tank before final disposal of effluent. For pH correction of alkaline effluent,
auto acid dozing system is provided at the overflow of clarifier. Part of Rayon After Treatment
and Tyrecord spin bath effluent rich in zinc is taken separately in Zinc equalization tank and then
pump to clariflocculator tank where pH is maintained between 9 to 11 to separate out zinc from
effluent. Overflow of clarifier is taken back to inlet of equalization tank.
Project: Manufacturing of Viscose Filament Yarn Developer: M/s. Century Rayon
Pre-Feasibility Report 20 of 27
The settled sludge of both clarifiers are taken into thickener for concentrating the sludge and
then pumped to super D-canter for separation of solid & liquid. Solid sludge is collected in
trolley kept below the machine and then it is disposed in a pit. Liquid goes to equalization tank.
The collected sludge is sent to Mumbai Waste Management Ltd., Taloja, regularly.
There shall be about 2000 KLD increase in effluent generation from process. This will be
reused/recycled.
