Annexure I
Process Description
M/s APIL presently manufactures Enamels, Water based Paints, Industrial
Paints, Stiff Paints and Synthetic Resins at its Ankleshwar division. The same products
are proposed to be manufactured after the debottlenecking exercise. The requirement of
raw materials is summarized in Table 2.1 whereas the existing and proposed increase in
production is presented in Table 2.2.
2.1 Manufacturing of paints
The paint manufacturing process involves the following steps:
1. Wetting the pigment with sufficient quantity of appropriate resin, thereby
breaking large agglomeration to make a mill base which has a correct
consistency for grinding. This process called pre-dispersion is achieved in
Cowl's dissolver or similar pre-disperser
2. The next step involves further breaking up of the pigment aggregates and
their suspension in resins. Different machines like attritor, sand mill, bead mill
and jar mill are used for dispersion. Type of paint and nature of pigment
dictate the selection of a mill or a combination of mills. Ball mills can also be
used as dispersion equipment. In such a case pre-dispersion is not necessary.
All the ingredients are directly charged into the mill and the mill is run for the
specified time ' to achieve requisite characteristics
3. Adjusting the shade consistency and other desired properties of the product is
the next step. The milled pigments are transferred to mixers where additives
like drying agents are added. The remaining quantity of materials like resins
and thinners are also added in mixers. The consistency, viscosity, colour and
drying time are adjusted in the mixer
4. The final step is packing of the paints in containers. On approval of the paint
against specifications, the paint is strained and packed in required pack sizes.
The pack size and type of paint decide the appropriate packing machine. The
process of primer production in ball mills and enamel production in sand mills
are depicted in Fig-2.1.1 and Fig-2.1.2 respectively. The process schematic
of water based paint is shown in Fig-2.1.3

2.2 Manufacturing of distemper
Distempers are wall finishes, sold in the form of stiff pastes of uniform and
smooth consistency. Processing of distempers is carried out in a single stage in pug
mixers that have a pair of helical mixers revolving in opposite direction. The powdered
raw materials together with binder solution and other additives are charged in pug mill.
The dispersion is achieved by the sheer force and pugging action generated in the pug
mill. Shade and other adjustments are carried out in the mill itself and the material is
packed on special packing machines suitable for stiff mass. The process of distemper
manufacture is depicted in Fig- 2.2.1.
15
Fig. 2.2.1 : Flow Chart for Synthetic Distempering Unit
16
2.3 Manufacturing of resins
a. Alkyd resins
Synthetic resins of alkyd type are manufactured by chemical reactions of
polyol, oil and polyacid in presence of catalyst and certain additives in thermic fluid
heated reaction vessel. The reaction is monitored by checking temperature, viscosity,
acid value and percent solids. Time required for reaction varies from 18 hrs to 48 hrs.
This is followed by thinning in blender with solvents to the desired percentage solids and
filtration take place in a plate type pressure filter and after filtration the product is
pumped into storage tanks. The above mentioned process is shown in Fig-2.3.1.
b. Acrylic solution resins:
Manufacturing of Acrylic solution resins involves following steps;
1. Monomers are mixed with the solvents like methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and
toluene
2. Part of the above mixture is taken to the reactor
3. Remaining part is taken to premix tank and the catalyst is added under
continuous stirring
4. The reactor is heated to 75-80OC in atmosphere of nitrogen under continuous
stirring
5. The catalyst is mixed with the solvents and added to the reactor at 70-
80OC for 30-60 min.
6. Temperature increase is recorded and desired temperature is maintained by
cooling
7. The contents of premix tank are added slowly and continuously to the reactor
8. On completion of addition of premix solution, the catalyst is added to the
reactor. The reactor is maintained at 80OC for 4 hours to ensure complete
polymerisation
9. The product is cooled and solvents are added to achieve desired solid contents
and viscosity. The products are filtered and stored.
C. Emulsion resins:
Following steps are involved in manufacturing process
1. Water and surfactants are taken to the reactor and heated to 55-60OC. On
achieving desired temperature, initiator catalyst is added. The temperature of
the contents is controlled to 75-80°C
2. Monomers are added continuously to the reactor under continuous stirring
17
3. On completion of monomer addition, catalyst is added to the reactor. The
reactor is maintained at around 80OC for two hours to ensure complete
polymerisation
4. On cooling, the emulsion is neutralised and other additives like defoamer and
preservatives are added
5. The emulsion is strained and stored. The process flow sheet is shown in Fig-
2.3.2.
18
2.4 Manufacture of Amino Resins
Butanol is charged in the separator vessel by using vacuum. While stirring the
powdered raw material, catalyst solutions are added manually. This is heated to 90°C
while observing the desired parameters and then it is cooled to 35-40°C. The desired
constants are checked.
Powdered raw materials from bags and acid are added by opening the reactor
manholes. The required parameters are checked and the heating is started. The
temperature is maintained. Water of reaction is collected. Recovered alcohol of previous
batch is added and the desired parameters are checked. After heating, the water of
reaction is separated. Again the desired parameters are checked. Alcohol is recovered
under slight vacuum. Then the batch is cooled and filtered through percoat filter and
collected in rust free barrels.

Pollution Load Assessment after the proposed expansion
Point Source Emissions
The main source of point emissions are from the stacks attached to the various
utilities. The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumption in the proposed
production enhancement will increase where as HSD consumption will decrease,
which in-turn will decrease SO2 emission load. The fuel requirement for the
existing plant and after enhancement is given in Table below.

Sulphur content in HSD : 0.25%
Sulphur dioxide emission factor : (0.25/100) x 64/32 = 0.005
SO2 emission rate : (1452 Kg/day) x 0.005
= 7.26 Kg/day
Due to the decrease in HSD consumption SO2 emission are likely to decrease
from 8.55 Kg/day to 7.26 Kg/day after production enhancement.
Water Environment
The total wastewater generated from the existing process is about 111 m3/day.
After the proposed production enhancement the wastewater generation will
remain same and will be treated in the existing Effluent treatment plant of
200m3/day capacity. Hence there will be negligible increase in pollution load due
to proposed production enhancement. The comparative water balance statement
for the existing capacity of production and for the proposed production
enhancement is presented in table below.
The pollution load due to the generated wastewater is presented in Table below.
The treated water wastewater is recycled /reused completely within the plant
premises.
