Asian Paints Limited, Penta Division intends to increase the production of
Pentaerythritol and Sodium Formate within the existing plant in an existing plant
encompasses an area of 29.20 Acres situated in SIPCOT Industrial Complex,
Kudikadu Village, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu. The proposed expansion is the
production of Pentaerythritol from 560 MTM to 730 MTM, and Sodium Formate from
336 MTM to 480 MTM in solid and in solution form.
2.3 Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country
Requirement of Pentaerythritols in India is growing at the rate of 6.5 %. CAGR is driven
by strong growth in Industrial and Automobile sector. Growing disposable income
along with growing life style aspirations of people have resulted into increased demand
for paints which use Pentaerythritol as one of the input Raw Material.
Looking at the Indian markets and availability of appropriate technology, it is proposed
to increase production of Pentaerythritol & Sodium Formate since the market is well
developed in many parts of India.
2.4 Demand Supply Gap
At present the consent limit of Pentaerythritol by Asian Paints is 6720 MTPA while the
market demand for Pentaerythritol in India in FY 2017 is 31,000 MTPA with a growth
rate of 6.5%. The main key consumers for the pentaerythritol in India are Asian Paints
Limited, Berger Paints and Kansai Nerolac. Consumption of Pentaerythritol by Asian
Paints itself is approximately. 31% (9610 MTPA). India imports 19,000 MTPA from the
global markets. Import of Penta come from Perstrop (Saudi & Sweden) about 13000
MTPA followed by Japan, Taiwan and China.
This expansion will help country save on valuable foreign exchange while increasing
revenue from exports.

2.5 Export Possibility Domestic/Export Markets
The finished products will be sold in domestic market and in export markets in USA,
Colombia and Netherlands.
2.6 Employment Generation
The plant will be modernized with field level automation & it will further reduce manual
intervention. Therefore, requirement for additional manpower is not required for the
project.

3.1 Type of Project Including Interlinked and Interdependent Projects
There are no interlinked or inter dependent projects on this Plant.
3.2 Location of the Project
The activity will be carried out within the existing plant located in SIPCOT industrial
complex, Kudikadu Village, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu. The site is at a distance of
about 0.5 Km from National highway 45A. The coordinates of the site is 110 38’ 49.67’’
N and 790 44’ 22.50’’ E, the mean average of the site is ranging from 5 to 8 meters
above MSL.
3.3 Details of Alternate Site
Since the proposed project is expansion of production of Pentaerythritol from 560 MTM
to 730 MTM, and Sodium Formate from 336 MTM to 480 MTM, by Asian Paints
Limited, Penta Division within the existing plant premises located at SIPCOT,
Cuddalore. No additional land is required for the proposed capacity expansion. Hence,
alternate sites were not considered.
The existing project site is having following infrastructure amenities:
Availability of utilities – electricity and Process Water
Availability of land, approach roads& accessibility to highway.
Topography of land & geological aspects
Nearness to rail head, transport logistics.
3.4 Size or Magnitude of Operation

and process optimization at SIPCOT industrial complex.
3.5 Project Description with Process Details
Proposed increase in the production capacity from 560 MTM to 730 MTM of
Pentaerythritol and from 336 MTM to 480 MTM of Sodium Formate. The production
rates of proposed expansion is given in Table 3. The increase in production capacity
is envisaged through
11
Process Modification.
Process Automation
Reliability improvement
Debottlenecking activities
Process Automation
It is proposed to do field level automation and online conductivity measurement for
Deioniser section for operations. It is proposed to do field level automation in Mono
Pentaerythritol section for avoiding chocks and quality consistency.
Process Modification proposed for improvement in Quality
Currently we are able to cater few grades of Pentaerythritols only. Demand from
market for higher purity Pentaerythritols is proposed to be met by way of the following
activities:
1) Maintaining the Formaldehyde concentration from 10% to 11.5 % in the reaction
stage.
2) Better purification through additional washings in the filtration and centrifuge
operations.
3) Reducing the operating cycle of Deionizer resin columns by frequent
regenerations.
De - bottlenecking Activities proposed for increase in capacity
The following number of debottlenecking activities are proposed to enhance the
production capacity of the plant:
Pre-cooling of formaldehyde solution - To cool the formaldehyde solution prior
to reaction start up in a tank and then start the reaction process to reduce batch
cycle time.
Reducing cycle time – To increase pumping capacities in Reactor and
Evaporator section to increase the process throughput.
Augmentation of Heat exchangers to improve heat recovery.
Improved cooling tower performance to cater to the additional heat load on
account of increased throughput.
Modification in piping around reactor - Reduction of reaction cycle time by
providing faster draining of residual hold up material from the reactor.
Elimination of Transfer delays by automation in the specific batch processes
such as reaction and mono pentaerythritol section.
To replace in process tanks with higher capacity and crystallising facility to
cater to the increased production requirement.

3.9.2 Solid Waste Management
There are two types of solid wastes generated – process wastes and non-process
wastes, which may or may not be hazardous in nature. The waste water from
manufacturing process, washings, etc. will get treated in the effluent treatment plant
and that will give rise to sludge. The other type of solid wastes generated will include
the dust collected from dust collectors, empty barrels (metal and plastic), bags,
sweepings and other biodegradable waste from canteen. Solid waste of organic nature
such as canteen wastes, STP sludge, sweepings etc. will be composted or vermin
composted for use as manure in the greenbelt and lawns. Other non-hazardous waste
like empty container, bags, paper/cardboard, metal, wooden waste etc. will be sold to
external agency. The hazardous waste will be disposed of through authorized TSDF
as land filling. The following solid waste is expected during the implementation of the
proposed project, details given in Table 7.
