1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Indian Additives Limited (IAL) is a 50:50 joint venture company of Chennai

Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) and Chevron Oronite Company LLC. On

24th May 1989, Chevron Oronite Company LLC, USA (then Chevron Chemical

Company) and Chennai Petroleum Corporation Limited, Chennai (then Madras

Refineries Limited) signed an agreement to form a Company to engage in the

development, manufacture and marketing of certain additive intermediates,

(components) and packages for Lubricating Oils. The Company, christened as

‘Indian Additives Limited’, was thus born legally on 13th July 1989,theplant has

been operational since 1993. IAL was originally incorporated as a government

company to foster domestic manufacture of lubricating oil additives so as to

reduce reliance on import of such products. IAL’s operation has, therefore, has a

bearing on increasing national foreign exchange savings through import

substitution.

The manufacturing facilityis located at SF No. 265(P) Manali Village,

AmbatturTaluk, Tiruvallur District, and Tamil Nadu in a spread of 23.57 acres

land. The site is located about 4 km away from Thiruvottiyur Town and it is in the

express highway connecting Thiruvottiyur and Ponneri. The site is located south

of this road. The nearest railway station is Thiruvottiyur.

IAL proposes to set up new component manufacturing unit in the existing facility

to manufacture Zinc Di-Thio Phosphate (ZDTP), one of the intermediate for

lubricating oil additive manufacturing. This is a backward integration project

involving installation of batch reactors, overhead and filtration systems with other

associated supporting facilities, including treatement facility for H2S off gas

generated from the process. The production from this faciliity will be consumed

in-house as intermediate for manufacturing lubricating oil additives and also for

exports.

The cost estimate for the proposed project is around Rs.110crores and

implementation period will be 20 months.

2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

2.1 Introduction about the company

Indian Additives Limited (IAL) is a 50:50 joint venture company of Chennai

Petroleum Corporation Limited (CPCL) and Chevron Oronite Company LLC. The

plant has been operational since 1993. IAL, an ISO 14001 certified company, is

one of the leading manufacturers of lubricating oil additives for Automotive,

Marine, Industrial, Rail Road & Natural gas engines lubricating oils. These

lubricating oil additives play a crucial role in engine performance parameters

like high specific power outputs, improved fuel-efficiency norms, improved

driveability, extended drain Intervals, fuel economy and longer and trouble - free

engine life.IAL primarily caters to sectors of national and public interest as a

majority of IAL’s products are manufactured to meet the requirements of the

Indian Railways, and government companies such as Indian Oil Corporation,

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation

Limited.IAL’s operation has, therefore, has a bearing on increasing national

foreign exchange savings through import substitution.

IAL has been operating with valid consent orders under Air & Water Acts from

TamilNadu Pollution Controal Board and complying with all environmental

legislations. IAL has initiated many Environmental improvement actions towards

improving its Environment standards like installation of online pollution

monitoring systems and hooking up to Pollution Control Board for real time

monitoring.

IAL’s existing manufacturing facility consists of intermediates (components) and

blending facilities for making different lubricating oil additive packages . The

intermediates (components) manufacturing involves batch processes to produce

Dispersants(Succinimides), Detergents(Phenates/Sulfonate), PIBSAs. Blending is

the key operation where the aboveintermediates (components) made within IAL

and other intermediates (components) imported/ bought outare blended to make

different lubricating oil additive packages based on market requirements.

2.2 Brief Description of the Project

IAL proposes to set up new component manufacturing unit in the existing facility



involving installation of batch reactors, overhead and filtration systems with

other associated supporting facilities, including treatement facility for H2S off gas



exports.

Existing utility and support facilities will be shared to meet the requirements of

proposed project with appropriate augmentations.The existing effluent treatment

plant has adequate design capabilities to handle the additional pollutant loads

from this project, how ever, RO (Reverse Osmosis) plant capacity will be

augmented to meet the increased recycle requirement of effluent.The off-gas, H2S

generated from the proposed project will be treated with Caustic in scrubber and

spent caustic wil be converted as Sodium Sulphide flakes through evaporation

and flaking, which will be sold as by-product in the market.

The proposed project will be constructed in the demarcated plot space with in the

existing manufacturing facility. The cost estimate for the project will be around

Rs.110 crores and implementation period will be 20 months.

2.3 Project Benefits

The proposed project which is of backward integration model will help in

improving company’s revenue apart from mitigating other business risks as the

company is currently sourcing this intermediate from external supplier. This

project also provides opportunity to export the manufactured component to

other lubricating oil additive companies acrossthe world. Hence this will help to

boost the economy of the countrythrough additional revenues from exports.

The existing Plant has around 140 employees and 260 contract workmen

supporting all operational activities and there will be anincrease in manpower


5

after this proposed project to atotal of156 employees and 300 contract workmen.

Apart from this, there will also be a considerable increase in indirect employment

on account of increased material movements.

3.4 Manufacturing Process Description A brief process description for manufacturing this component (ZDTP)is given

below:

3.4.1 Zinc Di-Thio Phospate (ZDTP) Plant

The ZDTP plant is designed to produce 20000tons/annum of ZDTP. This is

produced by reacting mixed alcohol (Secondary Butyl Alcohol and methyl ISo-

Butyl carbinol) with Phosporous Penta Sulfide (P2S5)and Zinc oxide (ZnO) in the

presence of promoter acetic acid.

The ZDTP plant consists of a steam coiled reactor, a reactor overhead system

with steam vacuum pump, a neutralizer reactor, wiped film evaporator and a

filtration section.

The ZDTP manufacturing operation is a batch process. The mixed alcohol and

P2S5 are mixed with lube oilin the reactor. This forms acid which will be

neutralized with zinc oxide to form crude component. Hydrogen sulfide and

water are formed aspart of this reaction. The overhead streamcontaining

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) is treated with Caustic in scrubber and spent caustic

containing Sodium Sulphide is then converted to Sodium Sulphide flakes (by-

product) throughevaporation and flakingprocesses.


9

From the neutralizer, the crude ZDTP product is sent to the wiped film

evaporation section to strip out the unreacted solventsin the crude. The spent

solventwill bedisposed to third party as per PCB authorization. From the

evaporator, the crude ZDTP product is sent to the filtration section for filtration.

The final product is stored in component storage tanks. The remnant left in the

filter is filter cake which will be collected in barrels and disposed to third party

as per PCB authorization.

of handling300 KLD of effluent.There are no major changes to the effluent

charecteristics. Sewage stream of quantity 45 KLD will betreated in existing

Sewarage Treatement Plant (STP), which is capable of handling 60 KLD

effluent.Treated water from both the treatement plants is partially used for

green belt development whilethe rest is being treated inReverse Osmosis

(RO) plant for recycle to Cooling Tower (CT) and Demineralization (DM)

plant.

Based on the adequacy review, the existing ETP and STP facilities are

capable enough to handle increased effluents from the proposed ZDTP

project. RO plant capacity wil be augmented to handle the additional recycle

requiments.

3.11.1.1 Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)Description

The unit has well established ETP Plant where the combined effluent

from process units and Utility systems are treated through Activated

Sludge aerobic process as detailed below. Sewage effluent is treated

separately in exclusive sewage treatment plant. The treated effluent

meeting PCB norms is then treated in multi stage Reverse Osmosis Plant


16

for recycle into process while the rejects are concentrated to salts in

multiple effect evaporators for disposal.

There are three effluent streams generated in the plant depending upon

the place of origin.

a) Stream A

Basically consist of process waste water, wash/storm water from

curbed process area, process wash downs, and streams from lab,

pump leakage, storm water from truck loading and tank farm

areas. This stream contains oil and other Chemicals.

b) Stream B

Consist of cooling tower blow down, Boiler blow down and DM

plant regeneration wastes.

c) Stream C

Sanitary waste water – Treated in a Separate Sewage Treatment

Plant (STP)

The effluent treatment plant basically consists of three sections:

Oil/water separation and oil recovery.

Treatment of separator water and its disposal.

Sludge Digestion, thickening and dewatering

The free-floating oil in the process effluents from various unit

processes is removed by skimmers and corrugated float separator

units. The emulsified oil in the effluent stream is removed by

dissolved floatation techniques. These various steps of oil removal

enable a reduction in the Bio-chemical Oxygen demand

contributed by the oil.

In the oil –water mixture, the free oil due to its relative lower

specific gravity, floats on the surface which is removed by

mechanical skimming. The collected process effluent is pumped to

cross flow separator (CFS) where further free oil is removed. The


17

effluent from CFS bearing certain amount of emulsified oil and free

oil is sent to Dissolved Air floatation unit (DAF) through a Surge

Pond. The DAF unit acts as secondary treatment in the removal of

oil.

The out let of the DAF unit is sent to Equalization basin where the

utility stream is mixed. The combined effluent is subjected to

biological treatment based on activated sludge system.(Aerobic

Process) An activated sludge unit consisting of an aeration basin

and a clarifier removes dissolved organic contaminants. The waste

biological sludge is sent to a sludge digester where it is further

degraded the water from the digester is sent back for treatment

and the digested sludge is sent to dewatering facility. The

dewatered sludge is sent to solar ponds for drying. The treated

water is pumped to surge pond (west) The treated water is used

for firefighting, gardening. The treated water is partially sent to RO

plant for further processing &recycle to plant for usage in DM

plant and Cooling Tower and the remaining water is used for

gardening/green belt activities.

The Sanitary waste water (Stream C) is separately treated in a

Sewage Treatment Plant (S.T.P). The treated water is transferred

to Surge pond (West).

The Process flow Diiagram of ETP and STP are given in Figure 3.4

Online monitoring of parameters (pH & TDS) for treated effluent

from ETP done and it is also connected with CAC, TNPCB.

3.12 Air Pollution Control Measures

The existing/ proposed package boilers, thermic fluid heaters and DG sets are of

highly efficient in terms of combustion control and featured with in-built pollution

control design. Hence the pollutant load from theseunits will be minimal which

finally been vented through chimneys of appropriate height.

The unit has also installed online stack monitoring station (CEMS) for Hot oil stack

and boiler stack and connected with Care Air Center (TNPCB). PM, SOX& NOX are

being analyzed. 12 Nos of H2S sensor installed in different areas of plant permises to

monitor H2S. H2S sensor at the caustic scrubbers ventswill behooked upto CAC,

TNPCB.

The unit has installed Online Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) monitoring station and it is

connected with Care Air Center (CAC), TNPCB. PM10, SOX, NOX, CO, NO, NO2& 03 are

the parameters which are being analyzed.The unit has also installed continuous

VOC monitors in the plant.

3.12.1 H2S off gas treatement facility

H2S generated from the ZDTP plant is treated in dedicated Caustic scrubber

system and converted to ~ 13 to 15% Sodium sulphide (Na2S) solution. The

Na2S solution is further concentrated in Multiple Effect Evaporators (MEE)

system and then flaking is done in flakers to manufacture Na2S flakes. The

process condensate from the MEE system is recycled back to Caustic

scrubber system for caustic dilution and the balance is sent to ETP for

treatment. The Na2S flakes from flakers are baggedand sold as by product in

the market to textile, paper and leather industries.

To prevent air pollution, IAL has designed and installed the stacks of Boilers, Hot oil

units and DGs asper the guidelines of the central pollution control board (CPCB). IAL

has a robust and a highly reliable caustic scrubber system to prevent the release of

H2S vapours from Detergent plant to the atmosphere.

Online H2S sensor provided in caustic scrubber vent is hooked up with CARE AIR

CENTRE, TNPCB for continuous monitoring. IAL has totally 12 Nos H2S sensors

located in different areas of the plant to monitor and prevent H2S emissions.

IAL has installed Onlineambient air quality station (AAQ) and online stack

monitoring station (CEMS) and is connected with the Care Air Center, TNPCB. ,

PM10, SOX, NOX, CO, NO, NO2, VOC & 03are the parameters which are continuously

monitored and displayed. IAL has installed LED display for Online monitoring of

stack, AAQ and effluent parameters in the main gate for public viewing. IAL has

implemented various process improvement measures to reduce the generation of

hazardous wastes in each category. IAL’s hazardous waste generation has and

continues to be well within the limits authorized by the TNPCB.

In line with IAL's commitment towards environmental protection, IAL has made

considerable amount of investment of around Rs.400 lakhs in the past 2 years

towards various environmental improvement initiatives. Being a company with

significant government investment, IAL is proactive and committed towards

ensuring environmental compliance with applicable laws and standards. IAL has

never failed in complying with the environmental legislations and has always shown

a proactive approach in making its plant one of the best plants in terms of

environmental management. Local TNPCB officials showcase IAL as a role model to

their counterparts from other States.

5. Conclusion

Since the proposed project is coming up in the existing plant Industrial area,

there will not be any change in land use.

The proposed project is of only backward integration model within the existing

facility, hence most of th supporting facilities like utilities, effluent and sewage

treatement systems will be shared with the existing set up.

The increase in pollutant loads due to the proposed project is appropriately

handled through pollution control measures.

The treated waste water will be partly reused for gardeningwith in the facility

and rest will be recycled for process reuse likeCooling Towers andboiler feed

water make-up after treatement through RO system. RO plant will be upgraded

as part of this project to meet the additional recyle requirements.

The facility has a well developed green belt covering more than 33% of the total

plot area. There are no changes to the green belt area on account of this

proposed project.

There will be positive impact on Social conditions in and around the site due to

the proposed project.

The impact of proposed project with in the existing facility will be fully mitigated

by the Environment Management Plans (EMP).
