ANNEXURE-3 Detailed project description with process details - MANUFACTURING PROCESS The company will use the latest available process technology for the production. This chapter includes the manufacturing process of the product, chemical reactions, and material mass balance for the product. Manufacturing process: Azo Pigments (Organic Yellow/Orange/Red): (a) Preparation of Diazo solution. Water & Hydrochloric Acid is recd in Stirred tank. Primary Aromatic Amine is added along with Ice. Later Sodium Nitrite is slowly added at 0-5 Deg c. Solution is maintained at this temp. (b) Coupler Dissolution : Water, Caustic Lye & Coupler is taken in stirred vessel. This mixture is heated to required temp. to make uniform solution. And cooled back to room temp. (c) Coupling reaction : Receive Diazo Solution or Coupler into coupling reactor. Then add another component at reaction condition in 2-3 Hrs. Heat reaction mass to desired elevated temp. Check end Point. Stirrer for further 3-4 Hrs till reaction completion. Filter the Solution. Take out the wet cake. Filtrate is let out to ETP for treatment. Wet cake is Azo pigment which is further taken for drying, Pulverizing, blending and packing. Detailed Reaction, Flow Diagram with Material Balance is enclosed.

ANNEXURE: 8 DETAILS OF PROPOSED AIR POLLUTION & ITS CONTROL MEASURES The utility emissions will be from the 2.5 TPH capacity of steam boiler. Natural gas (green fuel) as fuel will be used in the boiler. Also we will install a D.G. Set of 200 KVA capacity to use in case of power failure and HSD shall be used as a fuel. There will be no process gas emission. Details of which are as under; Sr. No. Particulars Details 1.0 Capacity of Steam boiler 2.5 TPH 1.1 Fuel Used Natural gas 1.2 Fuel Consumption 1700 SCM/Day 1.3 APC provided Chimney 1.4 Height/dia of chimney 11 meters 2.0 Capacity of D G set 200 KVA (Standby) 2.1 Fuel Used HSD 2.2 Fuel Consumption 40 liters/hr 2.3 APC provided Exhaust 2.4 Height/dia of Exhaust 11 meters 3.0 Hot air Dryer Direct firing through burner (3 Nos.) 3.1 Fuel used Natural gas 3.2 Fuel consumption 800 SCM/Day 3.3 APC Not required Drying of Pigment: Details of Air pollution control measures attached to Pulveriser Drying of 60-70 % pigment wet cake shall be carried out in tray dryers. The process heat is provided by Hot air dryer system based on natural gas. Pulverization of pigments: This is carried out in a closed circuit grinding equipment, pulverizer as shown in the drawing. This consists of following parts: 1. Hopper feed box. 2. Screw feeder. 3. Closed grinder with box 4. cyclone separator 5. Bag filter. 6. Rotary valve for outlet of product. The pulverized material is collected in bags, weighed and dispatched. The material collected from bag filter is also mixed with the final product. Thus this is a completely closed system and does not involve any process gas emission. New Project: Page 46 Manufacturing: Organic Azo pigment
