Coromandel has also ventured into the retail business setting up more than 750 rural retail centres in the States of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka Project Proponent The proponent for the proposed expansion project of M/s. Coromandel International Limited is Mr. Tarun Kumar Bandhyopadhyay, working as Manager-Operations at Nandesari plant. He is having 30 years of experience in chemical fertilizer Industry. 2.2 Brief description of nature of project The proposed expansion project is covered under the category B of 5(a) in schedule Chemical fertilizers of EIA Notification-2006 & subsequent amendments. M/s. Coromandel International Limited has obtained Environmental Clearance and CC&A for manufacturing of Single Super Phosphate (SSP) 18,000 MT/M and out of which 12,000 MT/M of SSP is converted to Granular Single Super Phosphate (GSSP). The company has proposed for expansion of production capacity of SSP from MT/M to MT/M, and addition of new products, Zincated SSP/GSSP, Boronated SSP/GSSP Page 3

4 (fortified) and NPK. A single product or group of products will not exceed 24,000 MT/M production capacity, in case of SSP, GSSP, Zincated SSP/GSSP, Boronated SSP/GSSP (fortified) and NPK. 2.3 Need of project and its importance to the country and/or region Single Super Phosphate (SSP) Fertilizer industry is the pioneering fertilizer in the country and the first SSP plant is said to have been established by EID Parry in the year Manufacturing of SSP is based on perhaps the simplest chemical reaction amongst chemical fertilizer industry. 0. SSP is a poor farmer's fertilizer (price-wise), is an option to optimize the use of phosphatic fertilizer. It also helps to treat Sulphur deficiency in soil (40% Indian soil Sulphur deficient) as well for further enhancement of yields at the least cost. In various crops, which require more of Sulphur and phosphate like oilseeds, pulses, sugarcanes, fruits and vegetables, tea etc. SSP is an essential fertilizer. S.S.P. is cheapest among phosphoric fertilizer and essential for cultivation of Sugarcane, Pulses, Oil seeds, Fruits and vegetables etc. The DOF has indicated that 40% of Indian soil is deficient of Sulphur, which needs use of SSP. The production of SSP recorded a sharp increase from million tons in to million tons in showing 17.4% over the previous year. All India capacity utilization of SSP increased from 46.2% during to 49.5% in Out of 66 operating plants, 25 operated above 60% capacity utilization and 41 plants below 60%. Total dispatches of SSP during stood at million tons recorded an increase of 29.2% over There was a marginal fall in inventory. Stock of SSP reduced from thousand tons as on March Demand Supply gap Farmers are now hard pressed to procure SSP to fertilize the top soil. Though SSP has been in short supply for preceding 5 to 6 years, the continuous decline in its production has further tightened its supply in the current Rabi season. The gap in SSP s supply and demand further widen this season because against the requirement of 15 Lac tons, not more than 10 Lac tons will be available from the indigenous producers. Usually, this phosphate fertilizer is much in demand in the Rabi season when potato is being cultivated. But the way SSP s production is sinking every crop season, not even 70% of the requirement would be met from the domestic production. 2.5 Imports v/s indigenous production Raw materials purchase from indigenous as well as import production. The department of fertilizer report on consumption production and imports (in thousand tones of nutrients) of Phosphatic Fertilizer clearly indicates the deficiency of production against the consumption. The increase in production capacity will be beneficial in saving the foreign currency. Page 4

Alternative site study is not carried out as existing plant and proposed expansion project is located in a well developed industrial Area (GIDC Nandesari). Major factors involved in the selection of site are listed below: Project site is within the Nandesari GIDC, which on NH 8 (3 km, E) has inherent location advantage of National Highway connecting to Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Surat. The project site is located on level ground, which does not require any major land filling for area grading work. Proximity to Raw Material suppliers. Strategic location proximity to Vadodara (10 km), the commercial city of Gujarat and well connected by rail and road. It has direct inter-city trains to Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Surat. Its nature as a fast growing developing city, combined with its proximity to Vadodara and Ahmedabad, make ideal for sourcing human resources. Page 8

The reactants originally thin slurry set to a solid mass during the reaction. After initial production to completion of the reaction i.e. product SSP it may take up to 15 days. Page 9

10 Dryer Rock phosphate contains moisture from 2 to 8%, which is dried up to 1 % through the cocurrent operation with hot air. The inlet temperature of the hot air will be 250 to C and outlet temperature will be 60 to 70 0 C. Only 15 % material remains in dryer during drying. Mill The first unit operation in the SSP production is the Ball mill. In the ball mill the rock phosphate is crushed about 92 to 97% is passing through 100 mesh, for better efficiency of reaction. Fine rock phosphate particles are collected through pulse jet collector system with cyclone separator system attaches with blower. Grind rock is collected in silo through separator. Mixer The name itself suggests the function of the equipment. In the mixer the rock phosphate, 98% H 2 SO 4 acid and water are mixed to form slurry. The optimum ratio is Rock phosphate to 57.5% depending on Rock quality. 98% H 2 SO to 0.36 MT/Ton of SSP production Water 3.70% About 67 to 69% acid concentration is used for getting the better conversion of P 2 O 5. The slurry is thicker than the discharged to den. Den The Den is horizontal tunnel through which the slurry of acid and rock phosphate proceeds on a slowly moving slatted conveyor, which is also known as Broadfield / Belt Den. The retention time is 40 to 45 Minutes. During this time cake formation takes place. The gases are evolved in the process of SSP production, which are scrubbed with the help of three stage scrubbing system. Chemical Reaction: Single super phosphate is made by the reaction of phosphate rock with sulphuric acid to connect the insoluble (tribesic) form of calcium phosphate to a soluble (monobasic) form. This reason can be represented by the following chemical reaction, which is the major reaction. 1. Major reaction: Ca 3 (PO 4 ) 2 + 2H 2 SO 4 + H 2 O CaH 4 (PO 4 ) 2. H 2 O + 2CaSO 4 The calcium sulphate remains in the product. SSP contains about 16% water soluble of Phosphorous Pentaoxide (P 2 O 5 ) equivalent to the chemical impact of acid on phosphate rock librates a large amount of steam, which entrains fine particulates of phosphate rock and acidic gas and fumes, most of which originates from impurities in the rock. 2. Minor reactions: 2CaO+2F 2 2CaF 2 + O 3CaO + P2O 5 Ca 3 (PO 4) 2 CaO+SO 3 CaSO MgO+H2SO 4 MgSO 4 + H 2 O Fe2O 3 +3H 2 SO 4 Fe 2 (SO 4 ) H 2 O 4 2 Page 10

11 Al 2 O 3 +3H 2 SO 4 Al 2 (SO 4 ) H 2 O CaO+H2SO 4 CaSO 4 + H 2 O 3. Pollution reaction: CaF 2 +H 2 SO 4 CaSO 4 + 2HF 4HF+ SiO2 SiF 4 + H 2 O 3SiF4+2H 2 O 2H 2 SiF 6 + SiO The evolution of fluorine and Silica containing gases is a major problem in the SSP production process. These evolved from the fluoride and silica contained as impurities in the rock. These elements combine with the water to form flurosilic acid (H2SiF6). Excess silica dissolves Flurosilic acid to form silicic acid (SiO2-H2O). Typical rock phosphate contains about 8% Silica and 3% Fluorine by weight. The temperature condition in the den causes a partial dissociation of fluorosilic acid, according to following chemical equation. 2 H2SiF6 SiF4 + 2 HF Both SiF4 and HF are gases at ambient temperature and pressure and collected in the Den by scrubbing system. The fluorine evolution is about 25% of 3% fluorine in the rock; Evolution of the silica is about 30% of 8% in the rock.

12 Process flow diagram: Zincated Single Super Phosphate Manufacturing Process: The SSP manufacturing process will comprise of two basic steps: grinding and acidulation. Rock Phosphate which is the major raw material of the product will be fed through grinding section. The next stage is acidulation. Sulphuric acid and ground rock phosphate will be fed to the mixing unit where they will be thoroughly mixed. The output of the mixer which is in slurry form will then be discharged to the Den. The Den output which is in a dry crumbling state will be conveyed to the SSP covered storage area and dumped there for curing. The curing will take days during which time the SSP will be reshuffled and aerated to aid the process. The cured SSP than will be mixed with 200 mesh powder of Zincated powder as per required %age in finished product. This mixing is by crane in most of the plant but a mechanized system can be used for proper control & mixing. The Zincated SSP powder will then be bagged for sale. Page 12

14 3.5.4 NPK Brief manufacturing process: The process is in four stages:- 1. Material handling & granulation 2. Drying & Cooling 3. Size Grading 4. Dust Scrubbing 1) Feeding of volumetric hoppers: NPK nutrients such as Urea, Potash fertilizer, DAP/MOP/TSP, Gypsum, Filler, are fed separately into individual Volumetric Hoppers. These nutrients, depending on the grade of NPK Granulated Mixtures that are to be produced, are fed into conveyor belt in required ratio and conveyed to nutrient mixer/blender along with recycle material thorough mixing of all the nutrients. 2) Feeding of blended mix of NPK to granulation drum: The blended mix of nutrients from Nutrient Mixer/Blender is fed into Granulation Drum by Double chain Bucket elevator. 3) Granulation of NPK nutrient mixture: Continuously required quantity of water and scrubber water from Single super phosphate plant is sprayed over the nutrient mix in the Granulator Drum to facilitate formation of granules. Entire Blended Mix gets converted into granules in the Granulator Drum. Thus obtained granules are wet in nature due to addition of water in the process. There are no chemical reactions involved in the process. 4) Drying of wet granules: The wet granules of NPK from granulator drum are then gets continuously transferred to rotary drier drum equipped with internal flights and lifters for showering the material and are dried by a stream of hot air generated from coal fired furnace. 5) Cooling of dried and hot granules: The NPK granules after draying at Drier drum are hot and are to be cooled before packing to avoid and eliminate caking. The hot and dried NPK granules are transferred to cooler drum continuously by conveyor belt from Drier drum. The cooler drum is also to provide with internal flights and lifters for showering the material for better cooling effect. The hot granules are cooled by stream of atmospheric air pulled by induced Draft Fan. The cooled granules are then conveyed to screeners by a set of Conveyor belt and Bucket elevator for separation of over size and under size grains. 6) Size grading: The dried and cooled granules are passed over over size separation screen to remove granules of over 4 mm size. The oversize grains are crushed in chain mill to crush them and are Page 14

15 recycled back in the process of granulation. Thus screened material having size 4 mm and below are then sent for further screen over under size separation screen. The under size material of 1 mm and below gets separated during screening and the same is recycled back in the process granulation. The material of size varying between 1 mm and 4 mm are then transferred by conveyor belt to product hopper for bagging. 7) Dust scrubbing: The dust particles that are carried out by stream of hot and cool air from drier and cooler drums are passed through cyclone separator and dust collecting chambers to remove all dust particles from the system and air along with flue gases from hot air coal fired furnace are let out into atmosphere through a chimney of 30 meters height from the ground level for better disbursement. 8) Weighing and packing: The screened NPK Granulated fertilizers from product hopper are filled in 50 Kgs net capacity LDPE lined HDPE oven bags, weighed and stitched by stitching machine. Thus weighed and stitched bags are then transferred to finished product storage godown. Page 15
