PROJECT PROPONENT Galaxy Laboratories is a venture capital company promoted with equity participation from Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) in the year The company is a manufacturer of Intermediates for API s (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients) and specialty Agro Chemicals. It is one of the leading manufacturers of the product Furfurylamine in the

8 world. Furfurylamine is used in an API known as Furosemide which is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure and edema. Galaxy promoted by Shrikant Deshmukh and Nagesh Walimbe both are having 36 years of experience in chemical units worked with multinational companies. Hoechst India Ltd., Roche products Ltd. etc. 2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF NATURE OF THE PROJECT The proposed Unit at Newasa aims at commercialization of ingeniously developed technology from Agro based in the area of Furfural chemistry and value-added derivatives of Furfural namely Furfuryl Alcohol and Furfurylamine. Galaxy has also proposed commercial processes for API Intermediates. These technologies are mainly in the area of reductive Amination by hydrogenation, catalytic hydrogenation with selectivity and isomerization. The company is also setting up a Hydrogen Plant for the generation of in-house hydrogen gas. Further, the company is adept at handling Hydrogen gas, Raney Nickel, Palladium- Carbon, Platinum and other noble metal catalysts, as also in hazardous chemicals like Carbon Di Sulphide, Fuming Nitric Acid, Thionyl Chloride, Phosphorous Oxychloride, Liquid Ammonia etc. 2.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY OR REGION The products proposed to be manufactured by the company are a new generation product range based on Reductive Amination by Hydrogenation, these are high value intermediates involving Hydrogenation Technology and compounds require Ring Hydrogenation for the manufacture lifesaving API s. The products developed by Galaxy are substantially of low prize compared to imported material. This is due to much less consumption of Raw Materials, Less number of Chemical steps involved in Manufacturing & being Green Technology. Products viz 6-Chloro-5(2,3 Dichlorophenoxy)-2-Methylthio 1H Benzimidazole (Triclabendazole Crude), 5-Chloro-4-Amino-2,1,3- Benzothiadiazole, 2-Furoic Acid proposed to manufactured in the project have huge export potential and contribute highly in import substitution for the country. Hydrogen gas manufacturing will reduce import of hydrogen gas from China and Germany. At present procurement of hydrogen gas is been done from outside of Maharashtra for our Aurangabad plant. Due to establishment of Indian made hydrogen plant with M/s Muse Consultants & Multifab Engineers (Mumbai) will be the first of its kind to be set up in Newasa. Hydrogen gas will be available for captive consumption and also support/supply other industries which have requirement for the same. Through this venture, India can establish its name in the foreign market.

9 Manufacturing of Furfuraldehyde, furfural alcohol and furfuryl amine in India will considerably reduce imports from International markets. The country will be self reliant and also reducing dependability of Indian API and allied manufacturers on International market. Hence the outflow of foreign exchange will be limited. Galaxy is the only company who has successfully introduced Furfurylamine in India and has become one of world s largest manufacturer. Recent research has developed some high value agro-products using 3-Hydroxy Pyridine and 2-Chloro-3-Hydroxy Pyridine as basic raw materials. These two products are synthesized from Furfurylamine; therefore demand for Furfurylamine is growing disproportionately. Production of Mono Iso Propyl Amine (MIPA), Di Methyl Amine Hydrochloride (DMA.Hcl), Cyclohexenyl Ethyl Amine (CHEA) will be profitable due to high tonnage production and no dependability on petroleum products and in-house availability of hydrogen gas. These API intermediates have very high potential because API s made out of the intermediates have come out of patent regulations in the international market since Therefore, Indian MNC s are launching these API s, as a result, consumption of these intermediates have increased rapidly. Thus the setting up of proposed API unit at Newasa will contribute in economic growth of India as well as region by increasing exports and limiting imports of material / chemicals. At the same raising self reliance of the country on these products. 2.4 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP Demand-Supply Gap for Furfuraldehyde, Furfuryl Alcohol and Furfurylamine, Hydrogen gas The information given for the three products mentioned below is related to World Demand- Supply gap.

15 2.5 IMPORTS VS. INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION SR. NO. PRODUCT IMPORT INDIGENOUS 1 Hydrogen Gas (Hydrogen Plant) Currently hydrogen plant is imported from Germany or China. Galaxy along with Muse Consultants is venturing into setting up the first Indian made Hydrogen plant. This will give the country prestige and importance to erect further more hydrogen plants in the near future at a low cost compared to that of the foreign countries. 2 Furfuraldehyde The current unorganized sectors of manufacturers in India are not able to fulfill the requirement of Furfural. Lot of Furfural is required to produce Furfural related derivatives and therefore it is imported from China & Thailand. 3 Furfuryl Alcohol Furfuryl Alcohol is currently manufactured mostly in China. 4 Mono Iso Propyl Amine Currently MIPA is being imported in India by companies like IPCA Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. Galaxy plans to make tie ups with farmers producing corn, in and around Newasa area and will produce Furfural in huge quantity for meeting the requirements of manufacturers who focus on value added derivatives of Furfural. As this is an important chemical for many industries other than Pharmaceuticals, manufacturing in India will open a new export market and will meet indigenous requirement. Indigenous production of MIPA will promote exports and is helpful to many industries as it has multiple properties and used in varied industries. 5 Di methyl amine hydrochloride Di methyl amine is being imported in India from China. This is used as an important raw material for manufacturing an important API drug known as Metformin. Indigenous manufacturing of this drug will help Indian based API MNC S in sourcing this raw material from

16 Galaxy rather than importing it. 6 Furfurylamine Other than Galaxy there is only one company called PENN Specialty in the U.S.A. that manufacture Furfurylamine. Galaxy is the only manufacturer in India that manufactures Furfurylamine and supplies it to API companies like IPCA Laboratories, Amri India, Hemdeep and Sri Krishna Laboratories. This material is also exported to Sanofi Aventis (Germany), Teva Tech (Israel), Syngenta (USA), and Sojitz (Japan). 7 6-Chloro-5(2,3 Dichlorophenoxy)-2- Methylthio 1H Benzimidazole (Triclabendazole Crude) 8 5-Chloro-4-Amino- 2,1,3- Benzothiadiazole 9 2-Furoic Acid 10 Cyclohexenyl Ethyl Amine (CHEA) These raw materials were imported from South East Asian countries like China, Thailand etc. Galaxy Supplies these key raw materials to company s like: NGL Pharma Laboratories Sequent Scientific Ltd. Dr. Reddy s Laboratories Sun Pharma Med Concepta Survival Technologies Wokhardt Limited Galaxy has facilitated the supplies of these MNC s to provide key raw materials for API drugs. 2.6 EXPORT POSSIBILITY All the products have potential of being exported as there has been a very niche segment of manufacturers in India that manufacture these above mentioned molecules and Galaxy s share in the supply is a major one. These products are in high demand for API MNC S established in India and abroad. Galaxy has established its name in the API Intermediate market and has been an approved vendor for many MNC S. When developing a new product, the company can leverage the brand to market the products and can sell these products in the export market.

17 2.7 DOMESTIC/EXPORT MARKETS Already discussed in section 2.5 and EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT/INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT The local areas will be benefited by way of generation of employment opportunities, increased demand for local products and services. There will be an overall improvement in the income level of the people. The project creates employment to about 350 persons once the plant comes to the operational stage and for 150 persons during construction stage. Top priority will be given to locals for semi-skilled and unskilled jobs. With the development of this plant there will be a lot of scope for more ancillary development, which in turn will benefit the nation. There will be a certain enhancement of educational and medical standards of people in the study area. There will be generally positive and beneficial impacts by way of economic improvements, transportation, aesthetic environment and business generation. There will be an overall upliftment of socio-economic status of the people in the area with the implementation of the project. Manufacturing of furfural requires corncobs in high tonnage which can be achieved by providing the local farmers with seeds which will directly benefit the farmers in terms of agriculture and the company for meeting its raw material needs. Biomass generated in this product is of good fuel value and can be directly used as boiler fuel. Agriculture Cooperative Society will be formed, wherein the farmers will be benefited and there will be growth in agriculture.

18 CHAPTER 3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 TYPE OF PROJECT INCLUDING INTERLINKED AND INTERDEPENDENT PROJECTS Type of Project Galaxy Laboratories Private Limited is mainly engaged in manufacturing of API Intermediates and Agro-Chemicals. The company in the proposed project aims at commercialization of indigenously developed technology from Agro based in the area of Furfural chemistry and value-added derivatives of Furfural namely Furfuryl Alcohol and Furfurylamine. The company is setting up a Hydrogen Plant for the generation of inhouse hydrogen gas Interlinked and Interdependent Projects One of the products Furfuraldehyde requires agro waste (corncob) as raw material. Galaxy aims at making tie-ups with farmers in proximity with the Newasa for the cultivation of corn. This will benefit the farmers as corn cultivation is pre-dominant in Aurangabad district. Thus, the farmers and the company will be interdependent and will benefited. The Hydrogen plant being set-up at Newasa is the first Indian made Hydrogen plant. Which is a raw material for Furfuryl alcohol, Furfuryl amine, CEA, CAB,MIA, 3.2 Location The proposed chemical plant is located Plot No. B-10, MIDC Newasa Industrial Area, at Post Tukai Shingve, Auranagabad Pune Highway, Near Godegaon, Tal.Newasa, Ahmednagar (Maharashtra).

19 Fig 3.1 Google image of Location 3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES CONSIDERED AND THE BASIS OF SELECTING THE PROPOSED SITE: Alternate Sites API intermediate unit can be set-up in industrial areas and therefore four MIDC namely, Waluj, Chikhalthana, Railway Station and Paithan could be considered. However, comparatively the land that Newasa MIDC had an advantage in terms of location and well developed infrastructure, close to State Highway. The Newasa MIDC land is economical as compared to MIDC land available at the other sites and as the project requires abundant land area, the Newasa MIDC land was preferred Selection of the Proposed Site The project is being proposed to set-up at MIDC Newasa Industrial Area, as the location is an industrial land under the authority of Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC); it facilitates all statutory clearances required for running manufacturing companies as compared to free hold land. Newasa MIDC is not situated within the city limits, which was an advantage as no residential area is in proximity and thus will not be affected by the ancillary effects of the manufacturing unit. (For e.g. Noise, odor etc)

20 The land is situated in the D-Zone of the development sector and the unit is entitled to subsidiaries like power, interest cost, and sales tax. Newasa Industrial area is in the vicinity of Taluka places namely, Kanad, Sillod, Soyagaon, Vaijapur and Phulambri. Corns are extensively cultivated in all these areas, this will greatly facilitate the procurement of corn cobs due to easy availability and cheaper transportation costs. The product Furfural can also be produced from bagasse as the main raw material. Bagasse is abundantly available in Newasa region and is in vicinity to the company s site in Newasa owing to number of sugar factories located nearby. 3.4 SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION: The proposed project will be set-up on sq.mtr (over 12 Acres) land at Newasa MIDC. The facility will have a manufacturing plant with state of the art technology. The company is also putting up agro research centre at the site with well-equipped and designed research and development laboratory for API Intermediate.

23 B) Furfuraldehyde (Furfural) Technical Details Furfuraldehyde is an organic compound derived from a variety of agricultural products such as corn cobs, oat, wheat bran and sawdust. The process of furfural includes hydrolysis of pentosan, which is present in the above mentioned agricultural products. Galaxy is currently aiming at producing furfural from corn cobs using sulphur trioxide and steam at high temperature. The R & D of Galaxy Laboratories Private Limited is in the process of developing seeds for corn cobs with high pentosan content. The company has filed a patent for A Process for Preparing Furfural. (Copy of Patent Novelty Search Report is enclosed) Corn cobs are cut into 3 to 6 mm size and subjected to vapor phase hydrolysis using sulphur trioxide gas and steam at elevated temperature and pressures in cylindrical vessel. The process generates formation of Furfural along with other chemicals. The Furfural thus generated is then taken out of the cylindrical vessel by using dry steam under pressure and these vapors are cooled and fractionated to obtain Furfural along with other by-products namely Acetic Acid, Acetone and Methanol. By employing specific conditions of temperature, pressure and relative concentrations of sulphur trioxide, 9 to 12% furfural yield is extracted.

25 C) Furfuryl Alcohol Furfural (Furfuraldehyde) is reacted with Hydrogen Gas in liquid phase using Raney Nickel Catalyst to form Furfuryl Alcohol. By employing specific conditions of temperature, pressure and relative concentrations of these three components, a high selectivity is achieved at relatively low pressures of Hydrogen leading to over 95% yield. Technical Details: Stage I: In an 1100 Liters Autoclave, charge specific quantity of Furfural and Raney Nickel Catalyst. Close the autoclave and flush it with nitrogen to remove trapped air in the empty space of the autoclave. Then flush the autoclave with Hydrogen to remove Nitrogen from the empty place. Keep 0.5 Kg/cm 2 hydrogen gas pressure in the autoclave and slowly heat the reaction mass in the autoclave at 139 to 140ºC. The pressure in the autoclave will start rising. Keep very slow purging of Hydrogen gas and maintain Hydrogen gas at 15 to 15.5 Kg/cm 2 and temperature at 139 to 140ºC. Apply intermittent heating or cooling to maintain these conditions. After 15 hours of reaction start drawing sample for GC analysis and check for conversion. At the end of 20 to 22 hours Furfuryl Alcohol conversion will reach to 95 to 96% level with 4.5 to 3.5% level Unreacted Furfural and impurity level of 0.4 to 0.6%. Stop the reaction at this stage by applying cooling, release hydrogen, flush the Autoclave with nitrogen and filter the batch to get crude Furfuryl Alcohol. Stage II: Crude Furfuryl Alcohol obtained in the Stage I is taken in a distillation still and distilled under vacuum (5mm of Hg) to recover Furfuryl Alcohol (99.5%) & Furfural (98.5%). The company has filed a patent for A Process for Preparing Furfuryl Alcohol.

Take 5 kg pressure of Hydrogen Gas in the autoclave and start stirring and heating. Heat the reaction contents to 55 C, hydrogenation starts. Maintain reaction temperature in the range 55 to 65 C by circulating cooling water in the jacket. Carry out reaction of Hydrogenation at 55 to 65 C maintaining Hydrogen pressure at 5 to 6 kg/cm 2 for three hours. When the absorption of hydrogen gas in the reaction mass is ceased, draw a sample and analyzed on gas chromatogram to confirm complete conversion of Acetone. Cool the reaction mass in the autoclave to 40 to 50 C by providing cooling in the jacket. Settle the reaction mass for 1 hour. Release Hydrogen gas pressure from the autoclave. Flush the autoclave with Nitrogen gas and filter the batch using sparkler filter to obtain crude MIPA. This filtrate is taken for fractional distillation. Catalyst is deactivated with dilute Hydrochloric acid and sent to the manufacturer for regeneration. Stage II The crude MIPA obtained from the above step is fractionated in a fractional distillation unit to separate pure MIPA along with various impure fraction containing impurities. During the course of fractional distillation, samples are drawn at regular intervals and distillation column is continuously monitored by controlling vacuum & temperature to separate various impurities as impure fractions. By maintaining proper reflux ratios and other conditions, pure MIPA is collected as main fraction a special receiver assigned for it. It is then checked for final quality testing and if found ok then packed and transferred to finished goods storage.
