Overview of Paper Industry

The Indian paper industry has been historically divided on a three dimensional matrix

identified by size, grades manufactured and raw material utilized. Generally, tariff

rates have protected smaller units utilizing unconventional raw material. Over the

years, the growth of various segments, investments levels in specific segments,

technological changes, industry fragmentation and intensity of competition have

been significantly influenced by the Government tariff policy. The present Excise

duty on Paper is 12 %. The Government of India from time to time has given some

benefits to small industries in order to protect them i.e. the first 3500 tones produced

by a mill is chargeable only @ 8 % and thereafter it is @ 12 %.

The three main grades of paper manufactured in India are :-

1. Newsprint

2. Writing and printing.

3. Industrial Variety ( Craft paper and Duplex Board )

Over 550 players currently populate the industry and the estimated capacity is about

7.00 million Metric Tones Per Annum (MTPA). Fragmentation is severe in the

industrial (packaging) grades, which rely on unconventional raw material such aswaste paper and partly agro residues. This division generally comprises of units with

an average size of about 10000 MTPA and contributes to 45% of the output of paper

and paper boards in the country. Although the other divisions in the Indian paper

industry are also fragmented by international standards, the degree of fragmentation

is less severe. Newsprint till about 1995, was the sole preserve of large public

sector units and was well protected by high import tariff barriers. Nevertheless,

imports contributed to about 50% of the domestic consumption. Since then, new

domestic capacity with private investment has been allowed to be created. This

growth has relied namely on De-inked waste paper as a source of raw material.

Currently import duty on newsprint is about 5% and domestic manufacture of

newsprint is exempted from excise duty. This tariff structure for newsprint has seen

Indian newsprint price closely mapping international prices. Imports still constitute

about 30% of consumption and newsprint contributes about 10% of the total


2/39

production of paper and paperboards. The number of players in the newsprint

segment is relatively limited and manufacturing capacities are larger than in the

packaging grades segment. Historically, the bulk of the output of Cultural grades

comprising of writing, printing, office stationery paper and specialty paper has beenthe preserve of large producers, who use forest based raw material in integrated

pulping facilities augmented by imported pulp. This segment has been consistently

taxed at higher rates due to its size and use of conventional forest based raw

material. Investment in plant has also been higher. With relatively smaller number of

players and high import tariff protection, prices of end products, generally perceived

to be higher quality, have been high.

Import tariff levels, although much lower now, still continues a significant barrier to

imports. The high investment levels required and limited conventional fiber

resources are the major deterrents to growth in this segment for both existing players

as well as new entrants. Lower end cultural grades manufactured by smaller

players using unconventional raw materials in low investment, low tech plants cater

to consumers in the price sensitive sub segment of this market. This sub segment

depends significantly on the tariff differential based on size and raw material for its

viability.

The Indian Paper industry is going through substantial changes. Global demand for

paper is expected to grow by about 4% p.a. over the next 5 years. The domestic

demand is expected to grow at about 8% which will result in increase of demand by

30 Lakh tones approximately over the next 5 years. It is expected that customs duty

on import of paper will decrease from the current level to the level of 10% over a

period of time due to WTO compulsions.

The import of raw material for paper including pulp, waste paper and news print is

likely to increase by at least 15% to 20% in 2005-06 to keep up with growing demandfor paper in the domestic market. Despite to the constraints like over crowded market

and limitation in procuring the desired quality of waste paper, there are indicators of

a revival in the Indian Paper Industry. In the current year, selling price has marginally

increased and enabled the industry to partially offset the rise in cost of inputs, fuel &

labour.

The paper industry has an important social role to play for the country. Use of paper

is considered as an index of cultural growth. Key social objectives of the Government

like eradicating illiteracy, making primary education compulsory etc. are very much

related to the paper industry. The paper industry is also contributing towards

fulfillment of various requirements of the industry as a whole like information

dissemination, publicity etc. which in turn stimulate industrial growth of the country.

The paper industry has, thus, a catalytic role to play not only for the overall growth of

the industry but also for the living standards of the people. The new millennium is

going to be the millennium of the knowledge. So demand for paper would go on

increasing in times to come. Because of paper industrys strategic role for the society

and also for overall industrial growth, it is necessary that the paper industry performs

well.

FUTURE PROSPECTS

The globalisation of Indian economy has lead to a healthy growth of 6 to 7% industry

and that is growth happening in all the sectors. Moreover the Per Capita

consumption of paper in India is going up with the advent of packaging in the food

industry. Due to environmental concerns, the use of plastics is likely to be banned by

the Government of India within a short span of time. Hence within 2 to 3 years we

will be witnessing an explosive growth of packaging in India mainly in food, textile

and export segments.

The exposure to foreign packaging technology and the need to satisfy the export

customers has led to a drastic change in the industrial packing sector. Thecorrugators have started using high BF, high GSM paper instead of the regular

grades and shifting from 7 ply and 9 ply boxes to 5 ply and 3 ply boxes. The above

change has resulted in more aesthetic and cost effective packing solutions. There is

a very good potential market developing for such grades of paper in India. The

market of high quality Kraft paper is now catered only by few manufactures from


4/39

western and northern parts of the country. With the above changes in the industry it

would be in the best interest of our company to put up a Kraft paper plant of 100 MT

per day producing high B.F., higher GSM paper and exploit the emerging market

situations better. The company envisages the following advantages by going forsuch a plant as follows:

l) Most of the existing paper mills in South India operate with single wire machine,

which can produce up to 24 BF only, whereas the new plant intended to be set up by

SSPML is a twin wire machine which can produce high quality Kraft paper of 24 BF

to 40 BF which is sold in the market at a premium. l By making high end paper in

south India the company stands to gain a lot in terms of logistics costs when

compared to the competition. l SJPML got the advantage of cost benefit while

importing raw materials and exporting finished product. l The possibility of exporting

substantial quantity of the production to near by countries like, Sri Lanka and eastern

African countries is also bright. This may also be substantiated from the fact that

paper exports have risen at a CAGR of 14 % pa from 105000 tonnes in the year

2000 to 179000 tons in the year 2004. As a strategic measure to expand the

international operations of the company, the company has already started a new

business division International Business Unit to handle the international marketing

operations of the Company.

2) The company intends to manufacture the paper by using Twin Wire Technology

and also plans to incorporate all latest equipments to have a cost effective

production. The twin wire technology employs two wires drawing pulp stock from two

separate head boxes. The arrangement is in such a way that the wet webs come into

contact before going to the press.

3) At present the Company is employing single wire technology wherein the pulp

stock flows from the head box and gets distributed uniformly for further dewatering,pressing and drying to form a sheet of paper.


5/39

The twin wire technology is superior than the single wire technology due to the

following factors:

1. Improves formation of paper.

2. Improves strength properties of paper namely, Burst factor, Tear

factor, Tensile strength and Ring crush test values.

3. Reduces Cost of Production.

The company will be able to derive the synergies of the existing plants and position

itself as a largest Kraft paper manufacturer in south India by the installation of the

plant. The market expectation for the increased production

Capacity, Production, Raw Material and Import

Government has completely de-licensed the paper industry w.e.f. 17th July, 1997.

The entrepreneurs are now required to file an Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum

with the Secretariat for Industrial Assistance for setting up a new paper mill or

substantial expansion of the existing mill in permissible locations.

The industry is a priority industry for foreign collaboration and foreign equity

participation up to 51% receives automatic approval by Reserve Bank of India.

Foreign investment even up to 100% is approved by FIPB on case to case basis.

Several fiscal incentives have also been provided to the paper industry, particularly

to those mills which are based on non-conventional raw material.

There are, at present, about 515 units engaged in the manufacture of paper and

paperboards and newsprint in India. The country is almost self-sufficient in

manufacture of most varieties of paper and paperboards. Import, however, is

confined only to certain specialty papers. To meet part of its raw material needs, the


6/39

6

industry has to rely on imported wood pulp and waste paper. The production of

paper and paper board during the year2001-02 is 31.62 lakh tonnes.

The proportion of non-wood raw material based paper is increasing over the years.

At present about 60.8 per cent of the total production is based on non-wood raw

material and 39.2 per cent based on wood.

The performance of the industry has been constrained due to high cost of production

caused by inadequate availability and high cost of raw materials, power cost and

concentration of mills in one particular area. Several policy measures have been

initiated in recent years to remove the bottlenecks of availability of raw materials and

infrastructure development. To bridge the gap due to short supply of raw materials,

duty on pulp and waste paper and wood logs/chips have been reduced. The capacity

utilization of the industry is low at 62% as about 194 paper mills, particularly small

mills, are sick and/or lying closed. Several policy measures have been initiated in

recent years.

Imports of paper and paper products were growing over the years. However, it has

decreased during 2000-2001.

Demand and Supply gap in Paper Industry

Indian paper industry is the 15th largest in the world and provides employment to

1.3mn people in the country contributing Rs.25bn to the Government. The industry

has recorded a volume growth of CAGR of 5.47% over the last 3 years. In 2003-04,

it recorded a volume growth of 6%, in line with the GDP growth. Indian paper

industry has a 1:1 correlation with the economy. The demand for paper is linked to

the GDP Growth. The government is planning to target a GDP Growth of about 10%


7/39

7

in 2-3 years. With this increase in the GDP growth the paper sector is expected to

record a similar growth rate.

The Indian paper industry has an installed capacity of 6.7mn tons while, the effective

capacity is estimated to be lower at 6.15mn tons. The industry produced 5.26mn

tons of paper in 2003-04. Newsprint capacity in India is estimated at 1.12mn tons

however, domestic production is only 0.59mn tons, while consumption of newsprint

is 1.1mn tons. Favorable demand - supply scenario to keep prices firm

The demand for paper is influenced by various macro-economic factors like national

economic growth, industrial production, promotional expenditure, population growth

and the Governments allocation for the educational sector. Domestic demand for

paper is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6-7%. Indias paper demand is expected totouch 8mn t.p.a by 2010. A leading global paper industry consultant projects a

shortage of about 0.7mn tpa by 2010.

Proposed capacity expansions:

Capacity expansions (which cost 50% less than new capacities) have been

announced by most players, but would take 1-2 years to be operational. Capacity

expansions of over 600,000 tons have been announced by the 7 large players in the

sector

WTO Impact

WTO as discussed the implication of Indian Paper and Newsprint Industry as part of

its negotiations and implications. The Indian Paper Industry has important place in

the industrial landscape. The paper industry has a strong backward linkage with

forests and environment on one hand and consumers of a variety of products on the

other hand. The manufacture of paper through pulp of wood or of other fibrous

cellulosic material has been discussed at length. However, recovery of waste or

scrap for paper and paperboard manufacture has been looked at from different angle

in the classification of products of Indian Paper Industry. In fact the paper industry

which are eco friendly imports lot of waste paper into the country in the

manufacturing of paper and paper board. Generally WTO implication is applicable to

all the industries. How ever, in respect of paper industry where waste paper is the


8/39

8

raw material and which is eco friendly, the impact is not harsh. SSPML is into

manufacturing of paper out of the waste paper and is an eco friendly project.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS, PERMISSIONS & TAXES

1. Central Excise:

Central Excise is levied @8% for the first 3500 MT production and thereafter @12%

on the value of the invoice. The Company is availing permitted Modvat benefits as

per Central Excise regulations. For import duty paid on waste paper procured from

overseas the Company is entitled to adjust the entire duty paid component as that of

Modvat credits.

2. VAT (Value Added Tax):

VAT replaces the existing multipoint taxes levied by various states with effect from

April 05. As that of other industries, the paper trade is also covered under VAT for

domestic sales done in the state of Kerala. However for interstate sales CST is

continued to be levied as per existing Government regulations.

3. Service Tax:

Being classified as a manufacturing industry, the industry even for Job Work on

conversion basis will not be subjected to Service Tax requirements. A recent

notification from Central Government also confirms such a stand.

4. Factory Licenses:

All the licenses required under Municipality Act, Factories Act are obtained and duly

renewed.

5. Pollution Control:

Necessary permission under effluent discharge Act is obtained and the facilities

required to maintain the permission are in place.

AVAILABILITY OF DOMESTIC WASTE PAPER

Waste paper recovery system in India is very unorganized and unplanned . As a

result, large quantities of waste paper get diverted for cheaper packaging and other

uses or get destroyed as rubbish. Bulk of waste paper collected by street collectors

in metropolitan cities goes to household paper bag manufacturers. Due to lack of any

grading/ classification system in context of waste paper, no sorting or segregation is

done at source and so most of the waste paper varieties are collected in commingled

form. The probable sources of waste paper collection are as under:

Waste Paper

Source

Examples

Domestic refuse Newspaper, magazines, board cartons.

Industrial refuse Corrugated boards, duplex & other packaging board, paper

sacks etc.

Office refuse Ledger files and papers from Govt. offices,

Universities & large business organizations.

Trade refuse Boards trimmings from converters & packaging

manufactures, paper savings from printers

Road Sweeping Newspapers and magazines are usually recycled directly as

wrapping and packaging papers by the grocers and pretty

traders and therefore they are not available for mills in their

first rejection. Other fibrous domestic refuse probably find their

way as road sweepings.

In India, collection of office refuse has not been very high mainly due to

unavailability of a viable collection system. In practice, more than 80% of the paper

consumed in India is being collected, of which only 20% is being made availableto paper industry and the rest 60% is usually diverted for other diversified /

secondary uses such as wrapping, packing etc.

The developed countries, which are the major players in paper recycling business,

have a well defined and planned waste paper grading system in place, which


10/39

10

facilitates the collection of recovered paper sorted in grades with a limited mixture of

fiber types. Due to limited capacities of landfill sites and (municipal) incineration

plants, increasing waste disposal costs and environmental awareness a wide range

of legislation / directives in various countries have been imposed which haspromoted material recycling and reduced further , the generation of waste that

requires disposal in appropriate facilities. These regulations set responsibilities for

taking back used paper products and packaging material independent of the public

disposal system and recycling them.

In India, however, no such regulations / law / directives are in force to promote use of

recyclable resources, as a result of which the recovery of used paper is also low. As

per the statistics available , the Indian paper industry is using more than 70% of

imported waste paper in its total waste paper consumption . The general issues

related with use of imported waste paper in Indian Paper Industry are:

Inconsistency in quality and varieties of waste paper grades.

High level of contamination i.e. prohibitive & out throws.

Price fluctuation in the international market.

High price for good quality waste paper i.e. low to negligible contamination

level.

High ash content in paper leading to low fiber yield / tpaper and generation of

inorganic sludge.

ISSUES RELATED TO WASTE PAPER BASED MILLS

In spite of the fact that waste paper processing for paper making is considered to

be an eco friendly process , there are certain technological & environmental issues

still associated with waste paper based mills which needs to be addressed to

improve its environmental compatibility.

Technological Issues :

The main objective of recycled fiber processing is the removal of contaminants and

elimination of their effects as much as necessary to meet quality requirements.


11/39

11

Removal of contaminants makes recycled fiber processing systems significantly

more complex than systems for virgin fibers. There are several unit operations /

stages viz. slushing, screening, cleaning, flotation, disperger etc. to remove the

contaminants from recycled fiber stock. The technology is well established toproduce newsprint, packaging grades and fine papers and most of the mills in USA,

Europe have state-of-art technology for processing of recycled fiber. In India,

however, most of the recycled fiber based mills do not have appropriate system

configuration for efficient processing, as a result the quality of finished paper is low.

The level of technology in majority of mills is obsolete. The operational efficiency of

equipments and machines are also considerably below the optimum level . Due to

lack of appropriate configurations, the amount of rejects generated are also high

and is a major source of solid waste generated in such mills .

Environmental Issues :

Among the environmental issues associated with recycled fiber mills , solid waste

disposal and management is the subject of main concern. Deinkined sludge

generated from deinking plants in mills using printed waste paper for producing

writing & printing grade of paper , consists of mainly fillers and coating pigments,

fibers, fiber fines, printing inks and adhesive components. A characteristic feature of

the deinking sludge is its high ash content in the range of 40% - 70%. Traces of

heavy metals may also be present in some cases. In most of the cases the heavy

metal content is insignificant and sometimes even below the detection limit. The

another important issue reported recently is the clandestine import of other

waste like plastics, metal and cloth / rags etc (technically defined as prohibitive and

out throws) along with waste paper.

OBESRVATION & REMARKS :

Generally the waste paper being imported in the country are recovered in

segregated form as per the request of the importer. However, some cases have

been reported wherein municipal solid waste constituting of plastics, metal cans

and cloth / rags etc (technically defined as prohibitive and out throws) have been

illegally imported in grab of imported waste paper This has led to the need of

defining / formulating the permissible limits for the contaminants like plastics, metal


12/39

12

cans and cloth / rags etc. in the imported paper . At present, no data /guideline is

available on this issue Therefore; it is recommended to undertake an indepth

study on this issue so as to evolve permissible limits for prohibitive and

outthrows in the imported waste paper consignments entering into thecountry.

CORPORATE PROFILE


13/39

13

M/s Shree Jagdambe Paper Mills Limited(SJPML), incorporated in July, 1980 as

a private limited Company, commenced its commercial production of Semi Kraft

Paper on single production line in March, 1982 with an installed capacity of 1950

M.T. per annum based on agro residue. In the year 1985-86 the capacity was

increased to 3000 M.T. per annum & later in 1987-88 to 5000 M.T. per annum by

adding certain balancing equipments. In 1990, SJPML added another production

Line and increased the capacity to 10000 M.T. per annum. In 1993-94 the plant has

been operated at 95% capacity utilization to give a production of 9587 M.T.

SJPML has been promoted by Shri Man Mohan Kumar Goyal, Shri Ramesh

Kumar Goyal, Shri Surender Kumar Goyal, Shri Anil Kumar Goyal and Shri

Parveen Kumar Goyal who have professional background. SJPML has been

converted into a Limited Company on 28.12.94 and also enhanced its production

capacity from 10000 M.T. At present to 20000 M.T. per annum through

Modernization- cum-Expansion Scheme.

During the year 1994-95 an other sister unit of

SJPML for manufacture of Kraft Paper was incorporated as Shree Sita Ram

Paper Mills Ltd., at Village Nanasanja Taluka Jagadia, Distt Bharuch (Gujarat) with

installed capacity of 20000 MT per annum. As product of the company is well

accepted in open market, but due to Government policies of liberalising

international trade, Import duty on Kraft Paper was reduced resulting dumping of

Paper in India by multinational Companies and same also became a reason for

down in production for the year 2001 to 2003. Similarly Excise Duty was also

increased between 1994-95 to 2000-2001 from 0% to 5% and then to 8% and 16 %(

2002-2003).

for purchase Raw material. Decision for making purchase is taken by the Executive

Director (Purchase) after considering the indents for requirement of raw materials,

received from the production department. Director (Purchase) is assisted by team of

purchasers, who calls quotations from different suppliers of raw materials.


18/39

18

RAW MATERIAL MANAGEMENT

Director (Purchase) after considering lowest quotations along with sample of raw

material, place order for supply of raw material.

TESTING/CHECKING OF RAW MATERIAL

After receipt, consignment of raw material is weighted at companys own weighing

bridge. Weight as per companys weighing bridge is tallied with the weighing slip as

produced by the supplier of raw material. Bill of the material is also collected by the

gate office for their necessary inward material entries. Weight of the raw material is

tallied with the weighing slip/bill of the supplier. If the weight is not tallied with the

weighing slip/bill due to shortage, it is immediately informed to supplier/driver. A

written consent on the back side of bill is taken for information of shortage to

supplier. Vehicle is then allowed to go to raw material godown for unloading with

prior intimation to quality checking supervisors.

Raw Material Quality Supervisor got unloaded the material in his presence. Sample

from different bundles of raw material is taken for checking of quality/moisture etc. If,

moisture is found in any bundle, sample of same is handed over to laboratory

technician, who tested the percentage of moisture in the material. A report is being

prepared by Lab. Technician for moisture and other prohibited contents like plastic

strips, kaccha material, reel core material etc. present in the lot of raw material.

Report is also signed by Lab. Incharge as well as supplier of material. Weight of

moisture/other prohibited contents present in the material is deducted from the total

weight of material. Lab. Report so prepared, is forwarded to Director (Purchase) for

his information and signature purpose. Copy of the report is then given to supplier of

raw material. If, supplier does not accept weight of moisture/prohibited contents he is

allowed to take his material back.

Copy of the report, is attached with bill of supplier and handed over to gate

department for entries in their inward receipt register. Rates of different type of raw

materials are as under :-


19/39

1. Corrugated Cartoons (Fresh) Rs.8000/- PMT

2. Corrugated Cartoons (used) Rs.7000/- ,,

3. Corrugated Cuttings (Fresh) Rs.6800/- ,,

4. Corrugated Cuttings (Old) Rs.6500/- ,,5. Media (Kaccha Material) Rs.5500/- ,,

6. Media (Core Pipes) Rs.5000/- ,,

MANUFACTURING PROCESS ;

Paper is manufactured using corrugated cartoons/waste paper, Chemicals and

water. The manufacturing process can be bifurcated in to four stages.

A) PULPING :

Corrugated Boxes/Waste Paper after cutting and dusting feed in to the pulpers for

pulping. The waste paper can directly be beaten and washed in the beaters for

pulping.

B) PREPARATORY TREATMENT OF STOCK :

Pulp, as it, is not fit for being converted in to paper and must undergo some

preparatory treatment depending on the end product. Before going to the paper

machine, the stock must be prepaid uniformly with a fixed thickness and be

screened and refined by crushing so that it may be reduce in to fixed thickness

with uniform properties in a uniform speed. The treatment is carried out in appratus

called refiner and sizing agents like alum, dyes, loading materials are added in the

process to develop its strength. The main flow of pulp which is freed from tailings

in the vibrating screen and fine pulp sieved out from the tailings are put together

and sent to the centricleaners which work quite efficiently in removing fine dust.


20/39

20

C) PAPER MAKING :

Prior to going in to the paper making machine the stock which has gone throughnecessary treatments, is diluted in the mixing box, down to the required

consistency with the use of back water generated in the paper making process.

Similarly speaking, the paper making machine performs its function in this way :-

In the pulp stock which goes over travelling wire the fiber is separated from water

& sheets of paper is formed. The wet sheet is pressed dried and smoothened by

going through several sets of roll machines. To get M.G.Kraft Paper, the sheet is

then passed through M.G.Dryer which imparts glaze to the paper. Paper is finally

wound up by means of pop-reel machines. The out put of a paper machine is

determined by the trimmed width of paper, the speed of machine and grammage of

paper.

D)FINISHING OF PAPER :

Paper and board intended for sale in reels and cut sheets is rewound & cut to

certain fixed measurements. Defective paper and board sheets are removed . The

rejected produce is returned to pulping section and mixed into the main flow of pulp

Energy Conservation

SJPML has always been concerned and committed to improve the mill energy

performance levels continuously. Basically because it realizes that natural energy

resources available are finite with no way of replenishing the quantum consumed

and also heavy investments are required for energy sector for meeting the demands

and these resources are to be consumed with prudence to conserve the energy. For

SJPML, conservation of energy has become a way of life. It reflects and manifests

itself in all the endeavors. SJPML realizes that this not only is a means to improve

competitiveness, enhance profitability but also is a source of moral responsibility.

To achieve the above objectives of energy performance, SJPML has constituted an

independent Energy Conservation Department and engaged reputed proven Energy

Consultants as early as in 1987 for energy audit, 1990-91, 1996-97, 2001-02 for

detailed energy audit with mass; and energy balance and in 2007 for energy audit.

These studies are conducted for identification and implementation of energy saving

proposals, reduction in energy cost and wastage with improved housekeeping and

monitoring practices. The department is bestowed with the functions of bringing

awareness of; importance of energy to the employees by conducting in house

training programs, by organizing energy conservation week celebrations, Energy

Conferences, etc.

The Energy Conservation department prepares and monitors daily energy

performance of the mills through computerized daily energy performance reporting

system. SJPML has installed energy meters and measurement devices for all energy

inputs like power, water, steam, fuels, compressed air and condensate return. The

energy performance report indicates the figures of today and till date against best

achieved norms for immediate comparison and for identification of variances on total

and specific energy consumption figures of various sections of the mill for all the

above energy inputs.

These daily reports are put for specific discussions on energy performance in daily

production meetings, for taking effective corrective actions. The detailed monthly

energy performance reports are also presented in monthly executive performance


31/39

31

review meetings for identifying areas of improvement and for making; necessary

exclusive decisions.

Energy Consumption:

SJPML, being an integrated pulp and paper mill, consumes steam and power for the

production. Steam is generated not only for the process, but also captive power

generation. The fuel for steam generation is husk, the solid waste dust generated in

the process is also used as fuel.

The Mills has operating TG sets for co-generation, Double-Extraction-Condensing

type of 12 MW capacity and fully condensing set of 5 MW capacity. The 12 MW and

5 MW steam turbo generator sets are operated continuously.

In the year 2006-2007 the fuel consumed in the boilers for process steam

requirements and the power generation is a total of 197274 Tons out of which

108579 tons is used for process steam 88695 tons for power generation.

Energy Conservation is an ongoing process. Realizing the need for energy

conservation, SJPML puts its efforts for improving the energy performance on

continuous basis.

Description of the energy conservation schemes

Installation of energy efficient booster water pump in paper machines.

Mill water header pressure is maintained at 2.6 kg/cm2. The pressure could not be

reduced to 2.2 kg/cm2 due to bleach plants pressure requirement at 2.5 kg/cm2.

Booster water pumps of 2.5 kg/cm2 pressure are installed in bleach plant and mill

water pressure is reduced to 2.2 kg/cm2. Investment is Rs. 6.5 lakhs, savings Rs.

4.43 lakhs per annum and simple payback period is 8 months.

The Environmental issues are reviewed in the daily coordination meeting chaired by

Vice President (Operations).

WATER POLLUTANTS AND TREATMENT MEASURES WASTE

WATER TREATMENT:

The main pollutants in the effluent discharged are Suspended Solids, B.O.D, and

C.O.D etc. The wastewater from the mills is treated in Effluent Treatment Plant

consisting of Primary Treatment to remove the suspended solids and Secondary

Treatment (Activated Sludge Process) to remove B.O.D and C.O.D and then treated

by Land Treatment process to remove even the Colour of the effluents. SJPML is the

only mill discharging effluents upstream and drawing water from down stream.

PRIMARY TREATMENT:

Wastewater is passed through bar screens and perforated screens to remove any

foreign material and pumped to primary clarifiers (2 Nos.). of each 7500 M3. The

settleable solids are removed from the bottom and clarified effluent from the top of

the clarifier is taken to Secondary Treatment.

SECONDARY TREATMENT (ACTIVATED SLUDGE PROCESS):

The effluent from the Primary Treatment is taken to an aeration tank of 25000 M3

volume. There are 11 Nos. of mechanical surface aerators, each of 75 HP. Nutrients

like Urea and SSP (Single Super Phosphate), are dosed in to the aeration tank as

food to the bacteria. From the aeration tank the effluent is taken to the secondary

clarifiers (2 Nos.) of 6000 M3

each. The effluent after Secondary Treatment is

pumped to Land Treatment.

LAND TREATMENT:

It is a well recognized fact that top layer of the soil maintains a Micro Environment

within which soil Flora and Fauna decompose varieties of organic matter. Thus, top

layer of soil can be utilized for the treatment of Biodegradable Organic Waste water.

Several conventional (natural, physical and biological) treatment processes occur in


36/39

36

Land Treatment. Considering such capability of land for treating wastewater, land

treatment is well recognized as Living Filter all over the World. As wastewater is

discharged on land for treatment, part of it infiltrates down wards and part

evaporates and part gets transpired by Plants. The remaining portion gets utilizedunder the influence of Land as Living Filter.

The removal of constituents from wastewater by filtering and straining action of soil

are excellent in this RI system. B.O.D, T.S.S & Faecal Coliform are almost

completely removed. It is also observed that the effluents after percolation through

land is void of colour. The soil seems to be working as colour removal media which

is otherwise prohibitively expensive treatment. This is an additional benefit achieved

through Land Treatment.

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES:

In Paper Manufacturing Process steam is required at various stages. For generating

the steam the Mills has installed five Coal Fired Boilers and three Recovery Boilers,

where in the black liquor is fired in the furnace to recover and reuse the valuable

chemical in the process. The Mill also installed one Rotary Lime Kiln where the lime

sludge (CaCO3) is burnt to get burnt lime (CaO) to reuse in the Causticizing Process.

ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATORS:

The emissions from the boilers contain dust particles (Suspended Particulate Matter,

SPM) and contain gases like Sulphur dioxide and Hydrogen sulphide etc,. In order to

control the dust particles and gases from the boilers the Mills has installed most

modern sophisticated Electro Static Precipitators as Pollution Control Equipments to

all the nine stacks.

INCINERATION SYSTEM:

The Company has taken an altogether different approach to eliminate odour

completely and installed Non-Condensable Gases Handling System consisting

of Collection, Transportation and Incineration of NCG. The system is first of its kind

in Pulp and Paper Industry in India to control Odour problem.


37/39

37

Thus the Mill is fully conscious of its social obligations towards the abatement of air

pollution and had spent quite a lot of money towards pollution control measures and

striving hard and putting all its sincere efforts for minimizing the pollution from the

mills.

RECOMMENDATIONS OR SUGGESTIONS

During my training in SJPML, I have got exposure of so many things related to

this field. I am very grateful to SJPML to offer me such an opportunity. I feel that

it is my responsibility to recommend some suggestions these will ultimately for

the benefit of the company. Some important recommendation or suggestions are

as under:-

1. SJPML should check its supply & distribution channels. Presently company is

selling their product through commission agents network. If company, sell its

products through agencies/dealer network, company could get better

realisation.

2. SJPML mostly deals in cash payment/advance payment transactions. If the

company allows some credit period to the consignor, sales realisation &

marketing position of the will automatically improve.


38/39

38

3. Paper manufactured by the company is mainly used by the corrugated units

for manufacture of corrugated boxed used for packaging. Presently improved

global market demands corrugation in different colours & different patterns. If

the company install such equipments through which they can manufacture

packing paper in different colours, market position of the company will

improve globally.

4. Presently company does not accept any order which is less than 10 M.T.

There are many consumers with small-corrugated units in surroundings areas.

But due to policy of company they are not able to purchase product of the

company. So, it is necessary company should change its policy to enhance its

infrastructure.

5. Presently Company does not have any sales in south region. Company

should advertise its product in south region to achieve better orders.

6. Companies Officer should held regular visits to their clients, end user with this

they are able to find out any problem prevailing in market.

7. Company should improve its packing section. Presently reels of paper

manufactured are packed in Hession cloth(Jute). It is better for the company

if they start using plastic cloth for packing of reels which is much cheaper &

strong than hession cloth

LIMITATIONS:

The extent to which study is reliable, it is important to note the limitations under

which the study has been conducted. These limitations are as follows:-


39/39

39

10. Due to shortage of time it was not possible to cover all the network of the

Company.

11. It being my first attempt to undertake such a study, thus inexperience is also a

obstacle to accomplish the project in proper way.

12. It is also difficult for me to get information about some other confidential

clients of the company.
