TALK OF THE MONTH

NEED FOR NATIONAL FOCUS ON

CHEMICALS FROM WASTE

Well intentioned Clean India Campaign launched by Prime Minister appears to be slowing

down largely due to technology issues.

While it is a fact that the mindset of an average Indian about the cleanliness in the

surroundings is yet to change dramatically for the better, those who have taken the campaign

sincerely now appear to feel whether the campaign has been launched in vacuum.

While wastes are being collected in towns and cities and dumped in the outskirts, they are

largely remaining as dumped waste causing several ecological issues and unclean conditions, as

they are untreated. What to do with mountain of collected waste has now become the real

and grave issue in India, requiring urgent national attention.

There is a crisis in waste management in India today.


NEED FOR NATIONAL FOCUS ON CHEMICALS FROM WASTE

Obviously, the need is to treat and manage the wastes economically and profitably by converting it

into value added product. Commercial projects for utilisation of wastes to produce such products

are not in operation in India at any significant level.

Power generation from municipal waste

Power generation from municipal solid waste is a great opportunity for a country like India that is

generating millions of tonne of municipal solid waste and facing power shortage across the country.

It is disappointing that the successfully operated power projects from municipal solid wastes are only

a few and some projects have faced serious environmental issues.

Significant developments in engineering and technology practices for generation of power from

municipal solid wastes have happened in developed countries and large capacity plants are in

successful operation abroad. Some international companies possessing such technologies have shown

interest in transferring technical knowhow to India but have received only lukewarm response

from Indian project promoters.

Selected methods for conversion of MSW to power

COMBUSTION (in excess air ) (direct method )

GASIFICATION (in reduced air ) (indirect method )

PYROLYSIS (in absence of air ) (indirect method )

Direct method involves production of both heat and electricity by direct combustion.

Indirect method involves gasification/pyrolysis of wastes to produce syngas, which can further be

used to produce power.

Types of available gasification technologies abroad

Low temperature gasification

Fluidized bed gasification

Plasma arc gasification

Thermal gasification followed by plasma gasification

Gasification combined with pyrolysis

Hydro power plant from treated effluent in Delhi

Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has recently commissioned the first ever hydropower plant in Delhi, which will

produce 20,000 kWh of electricity per year. The plant has been commissioned at Chilla area in East

Delhi.

This is the first plant in Delhi which will be run through hydraulic turbines propelled by treated

effluent coming out of a Sewerage Treatment Plant (STP).

Plants for energy from waste in Delhi and Jaipur

Railways will be setting up first of its kind plants at New Delhi and Jaipur stations for disposal of solid

waste in environmental friendly manner and generation of energy from the garbage.



The proposed capacity for handling waste is 20 metric tonne per day at New Delhi station and

5 metric tonne per day at Jaipur station area. Railways will provide 1000 sq metre land on licence fee

basis in the vicinity for setting up the plant. RITES, a railways subsidiary, has invited Expression of

Interest (EoI) for the project.

Railways generate a substantial amount of solid waste by passengers, visitors, vendors and staff.

Chemicals from CO2

Lot of work has taken place abroad in generating chemicals and polymers from carbon dioxide.

Inspite of India being a huge generator of CO2 gas, advanced projects for production of value added

chemicals from carbon dioxide have not yet been planned and implemented in India.

CO2 can be used in the production of number of valuable products that include the following

Polycarbonate

Polypropylene carbonate

Dimethyl carbonate

Carbon dioxide as refrigerant

Development of algae for production of bio diesel

The plants are proposed to be set up under the

Waste-to-Energy project of the Railways.

"There will be two plants, first-of-its-kind in

railways, for disposal of municipal solid waste

(MSW) generated at stations as well as

conversion of MSW into electricity and synthetic

gas.‖



Fuel from plastic waste

Technology has been developed to convert waste plastics (polyolefins) to automotive grade fuel and

petrochemical.

Using this technology, waste polyolefins (polyethylene and polypropylene like carry bags, packaging

materials, household plastics, agricultural pipes, etc.) can be converted exclusively into any one of

the products such as gasoline, diesel.

Synthesis gas / methanol from sewage sludge

Projects have been set up abroad for the production of methanol from sewage sludge.

India should certainly look into the feasibility of producing methanol from waste. This is a great

project opportunity, as India imports more than 1.2 million tonne of methanol per annum and India

faces shortage of natural gas, which can be the feedstock for methanol.

A plant operates in Canada which converts municipal solid waste (MSW) into methanol. The plant

has capacity to produce 38 million litres of methanol per annum.

There are possibilities of producing several other chemicals like synthesis gas / ammonia gas from

municipal solid waste.

Plastics waste gasification plant in Japan

Showa Denko (Tokyo) opened a gasification plant

that uses plastic waste from its Kawasaki, Japan

manufacturing complex.

The plant produces feedstock for Showa Denko's

ammonia plant at the site. Showa Denko obtains

part of the hydrogen required for the synthesis of

ammonia from the gasification unit at Kawasaki.

Recent selected initiatives abroad

NASA turns Human Waste into food

The US space agency NASA has funded

researchers to find out how to recycle human

excreta into food that can help astronauts

sustain on deeper space missions, including Mars.

The researchers at Clemson University in South

Carolina will receive $200,000 (roughly

Rs. 1.4 crores) a year for upto three years to

achieve this task, the US space agency said in a

statement.

Using urine and breathed-out carbon dioxide as

the building blocks to create useful aboard items,

the team is genetically engineering yeast to

produce things that astronauts may need.



"A particular strain of yeast can be genetically manipulated to create polymers, or plastics, used for

3D printing, as well as Omega 3s, which lower heart disease risk, and protect skin and hair," Mark

Blenner, professor at Clemson said.

Yeast also feeds on fatty acids which certain algae can create out of carbon.

Blenner's system would grow yeast that could take those lipids and nitrogen and turn them into

plastics and Omega 3s.

Need for national focus

R & D initiatives to develop appropriate technologies for the production of chemicals from wastes

are conspicuous by absence in India.

It is surprising that industrial houses in India involved in chemical and related projects and looking for

diversification opportunities, have not cared to pay adequate attention to explore the possibilities

for producing chemical projects from waste material. This is particularly so, even as Indian industries

are confronted with shortage of feedstock such as natural gas and crude oil.

Government of India also need to realise that it‘s clean India campaign can be injected with greater

vigour and sense of direction only by taking steps to promote projects for producing value added

chemicals from waste material.

While the Government of India should take proactive steps in this regard, certainly the ball is in the

court of Indian industries and R&D institutions.

Setting up of viable projects from waste material will not only provide profit for the investors, but

also provide incentive to people to collect and dispose the waste in healthy manner and keep the

surrounding clean.

Biofuel from winery waste

The solid grape waste left over from

wine-making could be used to

produce low cost biofuel.

The researchers showed that up to

400 litres of bioethanol could be

produced by fermentation of a

tonne of grape marc - the leftover

skins, stalks and seeds from wine-

making.

Researchers found that the majority

of the carbohydrates found in grape

marc could be converted directly to

ethanol through fermentation with a

yield of up to 270 litres per metric

tonne of grape marc.

Global wine production leaves an

estimated 13 million metric tonne of

grape marc waste each year.

IS GLOBAL INVESTORS MEET NECESSARY ?

In today‘s scenario, where communication channels are very extensive, nothing can be exaggerated

and nothing can be concealed from the Indian and overseas investors. Everything is there for all to

see.

In such circumstances, if any government were to think that the project promoters and investors

can be hoodwinked to make investment in the state based on their promises, such expectations can

only be termed as foolish. The decisions of the project promoters to invest or not to invest would

always be based on careful considerations and calculations of the merits / demerits of the situation

and cost benefit factors. Given the credibility of the state level politicians ,no investor would believe

their promises, though they may attend meetings and listen to them.

Rajasthan government would shortly organise global investors meet in the state.

Mr. Narendra Modi started the practice of organising global investors meet with much

fanfare and huge cost with the objective of encouraging investment in Gujarat , when he

was the Chief Minister of the state. Several other states have now followed this practice.

While for the global investors meet in Gujarat several project promoters trooped in and

thousands of crores of rupees of investment were promised and many MOUs were

signed, it is said that the actual realisation of investment was much less than 50% of the

promises made. Same is the case in several other states. Unfortunately, no state

government has so far published a white paper on the expenses made in organising the

global investors meet, investment promised and investment actually realised.

Many industrial observers think that such investments would have come in any case even

without organising the global investors meet. It is justifiably criticised that global investors

meet has become a tool for the state level politicians to publicise themselves and reap

political advantages in elections.

Global investors meet in Tamil Nadu

Tamil Nadu Government‘s global investors meet on

9th & 10th September has been viewed with much

scepticism , inspite of the government‘s tall claim.

Tamil Nadu government is reported to have spent

around Rs. 100 crores in hosting this meet , providing

state funded red carpet welcome and lavish hospitality

to the invitees, who have nothing to lose by attending

this conference.

The valid criticism is as to whether there is need for

such investors meet when the ground realities in the

state are not rosy.

Power scenario in the state is still precarious not so

much due to the lack of installed capacity for power

generation but only due to very poor capacity

utilisation ,as a result of frequent breakdowns. Rarely

a day passes without news appearing about one

power project or the other breaking down due to

reasons such as boiler leak etc. Obviously, the power

stations are managed very poorly.


GLOBAL INVESTORS MEET NECESSARY ?

Several important industries in the state are facing serious issues due to poor profitability and

other issues such as SPIC (unit at Tuticorin), Madras Fertilisers and others, which are facing near

closure situation. Epichlorohydrine project, (a very important chemical) of Tamil Nadu

Petroproducts (SPIC group), Trichy Distilleries, Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals (an important soda ash

producer) at Tuticorin have all closed down.

Nagarjuna Petrochemical complex at Cuddalore involving several thousands of crores of rupees of

investment should have been commissioned three years back. It is still not certain as to when the

project would be commissioned.

Kochi LNG terminal in Kerala involving investment of around Rs. 4000 crores was commissioned

around a year back and is operating at less than 5% capacity now, as the natural gas cannot be

evacuated for the benefit of the potential user sector, since the gas pipeline passing through Tamil

Nadu to Karnataka could not be laid due to protest from some farmers in Tamil Nadu. The

farmers in Tamil Nadu do not object to the laying of pipeline but are only demanding adequate

compensation. Therefore, the gas pipeline project is now at stand still ,while the availability of natural

gas for Tamil Nadu could provide potential investment opportunities of around Rs. 15000 crores.

While the Kochi LNG gas is not being brought to Tamil Nadu, a LNG terminal project is under

implementation at Ennore which is already considerably delayed and it is now said that it can

happen only in 2018.

With so many of such issues and several others confronting the state, one wonders whether such

global investors meet are needed and appropriate.

It is certainly possible to get the investments made in some areas like automobile components,

software etc. by sustained efforts of the government even without organising this

expensive investors meet with much fanfare and publicity.

Every one would wish the government of Tamil Nadu‘s efforts well but it is necessary to point out

that the efforts should be made with calculated approach considering the ground realities and

possible opportunities.

One can not be blamed if doubts would be raised that the global investors meet may just pass on

like any festival in the state, with the only difference being that this festival has been organised by

the government of Tamil Nadu.

NATURAL GAS PRICE TREND IN INDIA

Indian pricing formula

As per the mechanism approved in October 2014, price of domestically produced natural gas is to

be revised every six months using weighted average or rates prevalent in gas surplus economies of

US/Mexico, Canada and Russia to incentivise exploration in deep sea that was not viable at

USD 4.2 rate.

Indian gas price is calculated by taking weighted average price at Henry Hub of US, National

Balancing Point of UK, rates in Alberta (Canada) and Russia with a lag of one quarter.

So, the rates for April 1 to September 30 period were based on average price at the international

hubs during January to December 2014.

The October 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016, rate will be based on average of prices during July 1, 2014

to June 30, 2015.

Price level in Asia pacific region

The current price of USD 5.61 per mmBtu is already among the lowest in Asia Pacific. China pays

explorers USD 11.9 per mmBtu rate for new projects, while Indonesia and the Philippines price the

fuel at USD 11 and USD 10.5, respectively.

Gas from offshore fields in Myanmar, where Indian firms ONGC and GAIL have stake, are sold to

China for USD 7.72.

Thailand prices gas from new projects at USD 8.2 per mmBtu.

Likely price trend

Natural gas prices in India may, from October 1, fall below $4.2 per unit, a rate that was used last

year to devise a new pricing formula to incentivise domestic exploration.

Using prevailing price in gas surplus nations like the US, Russia and Canada, the government had in

October last year announced a new pricing formula that led to rates rising by about 33 per cent to

USD 5.61 per million British thermal unit (mmBtu) for a period up to March 31, 2015 from the long

standing price of USD 4.2.

The rates, on net calorific value (NCV) basis, dropped to USD 5.05 per mmBtu for six month period

beginning April 1, 2015.

"Preliminary calculations based on average price in the gas hubs stated in the formula indicate that

the rate from October 1 is likely to be USD 4.16 or USD 4.17 per mmBtu on NCV basis," an Oil

Ministry official said.

On gross calorific value (GCV) basis, the rate will be about USD 3.8 per mmBtu as compared to

USD 4.66 currently. These are preliminary calculations and final numbers may vary by a few cents

but the general trend is that prices will fall.

The October 1 price cut will be the second reduction in rates ever the first being on April 1.

While the cut will impact the revenue of producers like Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) and

Reliance Industries, it will bring gains for users in the power and fertiliser sector in the form of

lower feedstock cost.


INDIA’S URANIUM NEED

With limited domestic reserves, India has been allowed to import uranium as a result of the India-US

nuclear agreement. More imports will mean better capacity utilization of plants, which has increased

from 79% in 2011-12 to 82% in 2014-15.

As per the India-US agreement, 13 reactors have come under International Atomic Energy Agency

(IAEA) safeguards, which means they can use imported fuel. These have a total capacity of

3,380 MW, while the eight reactors of 2,400 MW that are not under IAEA safeguards have to

depend on domestic uranium.

Compared to nuclear plants which are under IAEA safeguards, the capacity factor of nuclear

reactors which use indigenous fuel has been less. For example, reactors in Madras Atomic Power

Station performed to 70% capacity in 2013-14, whereas in the same year, Rajasthan Atomic Power

Station (RAPS), which is under IAEA safeguards, performed to 96% capacity.

More import mean more of locally mined uranium will be available for the eight reactors ―Apart

from the Jaduguda mine in Jharkhand, a new mine at Tummalapalle in Andhra Pradesh will soon start

production. This will further boost plant load factor in the eight reactors including Kalpakkam.‖

The Government of India announced in

Parliament that the 2015-16 requirement

of uranium is around 875 metric tonne.

For Kudankulam, the demand is around

150 metric tonne of lower enriched

uranium for three years starting from

2015-16 and for Tarapur around 40 metric

tonne of similar fuel is needed. Fuel for all

these reactors will be imported from

Kazakhstan, Canada, Uzbekistan and Russia.

To speed up delivery of fuel-grade uranium

to various reactors across the country, the

government is planning to set up a new

nuclear fuel complex in Kota, Rajasthan.

The Hyderabad-based Nuclear Fuel

Complex is setting up a facility at Kota to

manufacture fuel assemblies required for

the indigenous reactors at Kakrapar

(Gujarat) and Kota (Rajasthan) under

construction.

Uranium import agreements have been signed by Government of India with Uzbekistan

based Navoi Mining & Metallurgical Combinat State Company (NMMC), Russia-based JSC

TVEL Corporation, Canada based CAMECO and Kazakhstan-based NAC Kazatomprom.

The government has recently signed an agreement with Kazatomprom, a company based in

Kazakhstan with an import potential of 5,000 metric tonne of uranium ore concentrate.

With India signing several deals for import of uranium, the government says that total fuel

consumption at nuclear reactors except Kudankulam and Tarapur will increase by 9% and

30% in the next two years.


GLOBAL FATTY ACID ESTERS MARKET

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

The research report states that the rising concerns relating to fitness and beauty is the main factor

driving the growth of the fatty acid eaters market around the world. The rising obesity across the

world is another growth driver of this market, as fatty acid esters helps in reducing weight by

burning calories.

Medium chain triglycerides, isopropyl palmitate, glyceryl monostearates, and other esters such as

glycol, polyol, and sucrose are the key products of the global fatty acid esters market. In 2013,

the market for glyceryl monostearates held the leading position, accounting for more than 40% of

the global fatty acid esters market. However, the market for isopropyl palmitate is expected to

register the fastest growth over the forecast period, owing to the rising demand for isopropyl

palmitate from the global cosmetic industry, states the report.

Food, cosmetics, personal care products, lubricants, surfactants, and others such as pharmaceuticals,

and the paper industry are the key application areas for fatty acid esters, notes the market study.

The markets for food, cosmetics, and personal care products dominate the global fatty acid esters

market at present. Additionally, the cosmetics and personal care products market is expected to

register the fastest growth in the global market, owing to the increasing demand for fatty acid esters

in cosmetics such as creams and lotions. The market for food is also expected to report remarkable

growth over the forecast period, due to the increasing applications of fatty acid esters in food

products as emulsifying and thickening agent.

The fatty acid esters market in North America held the leading position in 2013, and analysts of the

report expect it to maintain its dominance during the forecast period.

Year 2013

Medium chain triglyceride oil

Glyceryl monostearate

Isopropyl palmitate

Others (polyol esters, sucrose esters, glycol esters etc,)

A new market study on the global fatty acid esters market has been recently published by

Transparency Market Research (TMR).

The report estimates the market to develop at a CAGR of 4.1% over the period from 2014

to 2020 and attain a market value of US$2.24 billion by the end of the forecast period .

According to the report, titled ―Fatty Acid Esters Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size,

Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020‖, the global market for fatty acid esters

stood at US$1.70 billion in 2013.


WORLD DEMAND FOR PLASTIC PIPE

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

.

In the US, the world‘s second largest market, continuing recovery in construction spending and

housing completions will support rapid advances for plastic pipe demand.

Growth in plastic pipe demand will also be robust in the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and

South America due to efforts to expand access to potable water and sewage systems

The market opportunity for water and sewer systems is large, as a considerable share of the

population in these regions does not have reliable access to drinking water supply or improved

sanitation. The comparatively low cost and ease of installation of plastic pipe gives it advantages over

other pipe materials in these regions.

Advances in plastic pipe demand in the more developed regions of Eastern and Western Europe are

expected to accelerate through 2019, supported by recovering construction spending. Demand in

both regions contracted following the global economic recession, but began to recover in 2013.

PVC is the leading resin used in plastic pipe.

World plastic pipe demand (million meters)

2009 2014 2019 Annual growth

2009-2014

2014-2019

Plastic pipe demand 9600 13930 19300 7.7 6.7

North America 1440 1720 2455 3.6 7.4

Eastern Europe 545 605 740 2.1 4.1

Africa/Mideast 1025 1410 1870 6.6 5.8

The energy, agriculture, and industrial sectors tend to

be less intensive users of plastic pipe than is

construction. However, improvements in technology

and plastic materials have helped plastic pipe increase

its share in many of these markets.

Although construction spending will decelerate in

China, the world‘s largest plastic pipe market, demand

for plastic pipe in China will still rise over 9 percent

annually through 2019.

World demand for plastic pipe is projected to rise 6.7 percent per annum though 2019 to

19.3 billion meters.

Strong construction activity, particularly in the large markets of China and the US, will

boost demand as plastic pipe sees intensive use in both building and nonbuilding

construction applications. Plastic‘s performance, cost, and installation advantages will also

spur its increasing use over competing pipe materials such as concrete, copper, and steel.

These and other trends are presented in World Plastic Pipe, a new study from

The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.


PLANT CLOSURE

Bayer to close TDI plant in Germany

Bayer MaterialScience confirmed that its Brunsbüttel, Germany, toluene diisocyanate (TDI) plant

would be permanently closed in early September.

The closure of the facility, which has the capacity for 165,000 metric tonne per year, was

announced earlier as part of a scrap and build project.

A new facility, which uses up to 60% less energy and 80% less solvent, at Dormagen, Germany, has

replaced the plant.

Bayer MaterialScience—which will, as of 1 September, operate under the Covestro name as part of

a spin off from Bayer—will meet the requirements of Europe‘s TDI market from the new facility.

This facility, commissioned at the end of last year, has capacity for 300,000 metric tonne per year.

A separate TDI production unit with capacity for 80,000 metric tonne per year at Dormagen has

also been decommissioned.

Vedanta halts production at Korba aluminium plant in India

Falling metal prices have taken their toll with Vedanta group deciding to suspend aluminium

production at its Korba facility in Chhattisgarh.

Currently, the Lanjigarh unit imports bauxite and alumina to process them into aluminium, but the

recent depreciation of the rupee and logistics issues pose a major challenge.

Aluminium prices on the London Metal Exchange were down to $1,769 a metric tonne due to

excess supply.

*****

n-butyllithium

Albemarle will cease production of n-butyllithium at New Johnsonville, TN, USA by the first quarter

of 2016 and shift production to existing plants in Germany and Taiwan. The New Johnsonville facility

will continue to manufacture some specialty lithium products and will support blending operations

for customers in North America.

The move is part of Albemarle‘s initiative to cut redundancies after the recently completed

acquisition of Rockwood Holdings. Assets in Germany and Taiwan are better located to support

future growth because of worldwide shifts in demand.

*****

The company is also unsure about continuing

production at its aluminium factory at Lanjigarh in

Odisha.

The two plants have a capacity of about one million

metric tonne per annum .

The decision to suspend production at the rolling

mill at Chhattisgarh was taken after aluminium

prices plunged below the production cost.


PLANT CLOSURE

Jindal Steel shuts Australia colliery

The 128 year old Russell Vale colliery, in Australia owned by Wollongong Coal in which Jindal Steel

and Power has a majority share, has decided to shut operations due to the sharp decline in coal

prices in the last few months.

In 2013, Jindal Steel and Power acquired control of Wollongong Coal to source fuel for operations

in India. The company recently said that it was looking to divest some of its overseas assets to trim

debt of over Rs. 40,000 crore. The company has mines in Mozambique and Botswana also.

The shutdown of the Russell Vale colliery, which started operations in 1887, will result in 80 job

losses.

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

Blasts at LyondellBasell site were ‘a criminal act’

LyondellBasell Industries‘ site at Berre, France, continues to operate normally in the wake of

explosions that occurred at the site on 14 July, according to French media reports quoting the

company. The explosions are believed to have been ―the result of a criminal act, while the motive

remains to be established,‖ French minister of the interior, told France‘s national assembly

on 15 July.

The electronic devices were ―homemade,‖ which rules out the theory that the blasts were caused

by materials stolen the previous week from an ammunition depot near Marseille, France.

OSHA places DuPont in severe violator enforcement programme

OSHA has placed DuPont in its severe violator enforcement programme, after inspections that

followed a fatal accident last November at the company‘s La Porte, TX, site found ―serious, willful,

and repeat violations.‖

In November 2014, a DuPont worker was overcome when a supply line released more than

20,000 lbs of methyl mercaptan at La Porte. Three coworkers came to the worker‘s aid in an

attempted rescue, but all four were fatally asphyxiated by the colorless gas, according to OSHA.

After an initial investigation of the accident, OSHA says it found hazards that prompted an expanded

inspection at the facility. OSHA issued citations for three willful, one repeat, and four serious

violations.

The agency proposed penalties of $273,000.

Alleged violations include failing to inspect and test process equipment, failing to inspect and test

procedures that did not follow generally accepted good engineering practices, and a frequency of

inspections and tests of process equipment that was not consistent with manufacturers‘

recommendations and good engineering practices. Other alleged violations included failing to

compile written process safety information pertaining to the equipment in the processes at the

herbicide and HF production units at the site.

DuPont‘s view

DuPont says it is disappointed with OSHA‘s classification and... will be working with the agency to

understand its decision. The company says that it itself assessed process safety management systems

at the same time OSHA began its investigation.

The storage tanks that exploded at the Berre site were

500 meters apart. Authorities have also found remnants of

electronic devices near the tanks and there is evidence that a

third storage tank had been targeted, but that the device failed

to detonate.


SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

―Through the course of our work, we have shut down the herbicide unit in order to take

corrective measures, and the unit will not restart until the work is complete. The review of the HF

[hydrofluoric acid] unit confirmed that the unit is safe to operate‖ says DuPont.

Explosions in chemical warehouse in Tianjin, China

Ruihai Logistics is a government approved firm in China that specialises in handling hazardous

materials.

Several containers in the warehouse caught fire before the explosions

Operations at the Tianjin port in north China have returned to normal following warehouse blasts

on August 12 that left more than 100 dead or missing, the port authority said on August 17.

The warehouses for hazardous chemicals are located at the Binhai New Area of Tianjin Port, a key

industrial park that made the northern city one of China‘s fastest growing areas.

About thousand metric tonne of hazardous chemicals were stored at the warehouse when it was hit

by explosions. Among the detected 40 kinds of chemicals, there were 700 metric tonne of sodium

cyanide, 800 metric tonne of ammonium nitrate and 500 metric tonne of potassium nitrate,

according to the Ministry of Public Security on August 18.

Hazardous substances have been detected from two drainage outlets near the blast site in the Binhai

New Area, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on August 14.

The harmful pollutants, including cyanide a highly toxic chemical compound, were found three times

and eight times higher than the usual levels in the air around the site, according to the ministry.

The exposed sodium cyanide from exploded containers has been treated using hydrogen peroxide

and controlled by other solutions, while the intact containers were collected and transferred to safe

places.

The Tianjin municipal environmental watchdogs have set up 22 monitoring stations, five of which are

checking water quality. The drainage outlet to the Bohai Sea has been closed.

Tianjin Port had reportedly annual handling capacity of more than 540 million metric tonne of

goods ranging from mining commodities to automobiles in 2014.

The explosions may disturb its ambition to become the world‘s third busiest port by handling

capacity for 2015 The alternative ports include Dalian and Huludao in Liaoing province, and

Qingdao and Rizhao in Shandong province.

Two major explosions at a chemicals

warehouse belonging to the company at the

port in the northeastern city of Tianjin, China

have killed at least 100 people, leaving more

than 500 injured.

The Ruihai Logistics owned facility at the port

was designed to store dangerous and toxic

chemicals. The warehouse was storing mainly

ammonium nitrate, potassium nitrate and

calcium carbide.


ANTI DUMPING PAGE

HFC

US producers of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have asked for antidumping duties on imports from

China.

An industry group, the American HFC Coalition, has filed a petition with the US Department of

Commerce and the US International Trade Commission (ITC) alleging that underpriced blends and

components from China are being imported into the US market with dumping margins ranging from

100% to over 300%.

Mexichem filed a petition alleging that Chinese producers were dumping the refrigerant

1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethylene (R-134a) into the US market.

In April 2014, Commerce Department issued a preliminary finding in Mexichem‘s favour, and in

October 2014, it sent the ITC a proposed final resolution that R-134a imports from China should be

subject to antidumping duties of 280.67% and countervailing duties averaging 11.14%.

In November, 2014, however, the ITC voted the resolution down. ―US industry is not materially

injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of R-134a from China‖ ITC says in a

statement.

Mexichem submitted an appeal to the US Court of International Trade in January 2015.

The company expects the court to take one year to make its ruling.

WASTE COFFEE GROUNDS TO STORE METHANE

This produced a stable carbon capture material in less than a day—a fraction of the time

it takes to produce carbon capture materials. ―The big thing is we are decreasing the

fabrication time and we are using cheap materials,‖ said Christian Kemp, an author of

the study now based at Pohang University of Science and Technology.

The results were published in the journal Nanotechnology.

Scientists have developed a simple

‗soak and heating‘ process, which

treats waste coffee grounds to enable

them to store the harmful

greenhouse gas methane.

Methane capture and storage

provides a double environmental

return—it removes a harmful

greenhouse gas from the atmosphere

that can then be used as a fuel that is

cleaner than other fossil

fuels. The process developed by the

researchers, based at the Ulsan

National Institute of Science and

Technology (UNIST), South Korea,

involves soaking the waste coffee

grounds in sodium hydroxide and

heating to 700-900 degrees Celsius in

a furnace.


ILLEGAL IMPORT OF CHINESE FIRE CRACKERS

With Chinese fireworks finding their way into the Indian market despite import

restrictions, the Government of India has sprung into action, well before the festival

season to check the smuggling of the cheap but dangerous crackers from across the

border.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) has already written to the Central

Bureau of Excise and Customs and the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion

(DIPP) to take pre-emptive action to stop illegal imports.

―The DGFT has asked the Customs Department to sensitise its officers on the

possibility of smuggling of fire crackers from China through mis representation of

cargo. The illegal shipments usually start sometime in September, so there is still time

to step up vigil,‖ the official said.

Fire crackers are often camouflaged as toys when shipped illegally from China. Unlike

toys, firecracker is a restricted item and cannot be imported without licence. Since the

DGFT refrains from giving licence, fire cracker import is practically banned.

Most Chinese crackers have potassium chlorate, a highly explosive chemical, which is

banned in India.

It is at the behest of the domestic fire cracker industry, which suffered an estimated

loss of Rs.200 to 400 crore last year because of illegal imports from China, that the

government is attempting to act early this time.

Manufacturers from Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, accounting for almost 80 percent of fire

crackers produced in the country, had told the government that nearly 35 percent of

their products were unsold last year because of smuggled Chinese fireworks. In India,

the firecracker industry is estimated at Rs.3,000 crore and supports more than five

lakh people.

The Department of Revenue Intelligence has given notices to a number of traders for

illegally importing fire works from China last year.

GLOBAL METHANOL SCENARIO – RECENT TRENDS

Important application areas

Methanol, traditionally, has been a chemical feedstock consumed in the manufacture of derivatives

such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl methacrylate, and methylamines.

MTBE

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a high octane blending component for gasoline. Although MTBE

was removed from the US gasoline pool, global demand has continued to grow and it is still

manufactured in the United States almost exclusively for export.

Dimethyl ether (DME)

DME is used either as a low emission, heavy-vehicle road fuel or as an alternative to or in

combination with liquefied petroleum gas for home heating and cooking use in China.

DME has been receiving a lot of attention as a substitute for liquefied petroleum gas and as a

next generation substitute for diesel fuel in automobiles and in power generation.

Fatty acid methyl ester

Fatty acid methyl ester is produced, when methanol is reacted with a vegetable oil or animal fat to

form biodiesel, which can be used either in combination with conventional diesel or, more widely, as

a more sustainable alternative to conventional diesel.

Gasoline feedstock

The most significant energy application for methanol is as a direct gasoline blendstock; almost all of

this direct blending takes place in China, where around 7 million metric tonne were blended into the

Chinese gasoline pool in 2014.

It is reported that at concentration levels of 15% by volume (M15) or below, no modern engines or

vehicles need modification.

Programmes are in place to blend methanol into the gasoline pool in a number of other countries,

including Israel, Australia, Trinidad, Iran, Iceland, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan.

Methanol to olefin

There are a number of integrated coal to olefins (CTO) units in China, in which crude methanol is

an intermediate step in the production process.

Methanol to olefins (MTO) plants range in size from 200,000 metric tonne per year to

600,000 metric tonne per year of olefins capacity. Approximately 3 metric tonne of methanol is

used for each metric tonne of ethylene or propylene produced.

The first MTO unit in China started up in late 2011. Since then, five more units have come on

stream, capable of consuming up to 7 million metric tonne per year of methanol.

In the coming years, MTO is forecast to be clearly the second largest methanol derivative globally,

behind formaldehyde. Many units are capable of producing not only ethylene and propylene but also

downstream products, such as polyethylene, polypropylene and monoethylene glycol.

Global demand.

Total worldwide methanol demand is expected to reach around 70 million metric tonne in 2015,

driven in large part by the resurgence of construction and automotive markets and increased

demand for cleaner energy.

1.50 billion cubic meters of gas. It is expected to be completed in 2019. A sea terminal designed to

export the product is being planned.

BGC has secured a 55 hectare site in the eastern zone of Ust Luga, near Saint Petersburg, the main

deep sea port developed by the Russian government. Almost all of the methanol from the plant is

intended for export.

BGC has appointed Marubeni as its exclusive marketing channel for all of the export portion.

Marubeni may become a shareholder in the project.



Operating methanol plants in Russia

Russia currently operates nine methanol plants with a combined capacity of 4 million metric tonne

per year.

The plants are estimated to have produced a total of 3.4 million metric tonne of methanol in 2014.

Iran has proposed projects totaling more than 20 million metric tonne per year of new methanol

capacity, but a more realistic figure of approximately 10 million metric tonne per year could be

added by 2025 if and when the sanctions are lifted.

Iran exported 2.9 million metric tonne of methanol in 2014, with 60% of its exports going to China

and 29% to India. IHS estimates that more than 100,000 metric tonne per year of methanol are

currently imported into Europe from Iran.

TETRAHYDROFURAN – INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

CAS No. 109-99-9

Molecular formula: C4H8O

Tetrahydrofuran (THF) is a clear, colourless, low viscosity liquid with an ether-like odour.

THF exhibits high volatility and has low freezing point. At 20 deg.C, THF is completely miscible with

water.

Specification

Descripton Unit Specification Analysis method

Purity wt % 99.8 min. Gas Chromatography

Colour APHA 10 max. JIS K 0071-1993

Moisture Content wt ppm 200 max. JIS K 0068-1992

Peroxide Content wt ppm 150 max. (iodimetry)

Stabilizer (BHT) wt ppm 200 ~ 300 (typical = 250)

Gas Chromatography

Applications

The major use is as a monomer in the production of poly tetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG).

A smaller amount of THF is used as industrial solvent.

Polytetramethylene Ether Glycol (PTMEG)

THF is polymerized under strong acidic conditions to form PTMEG.

PolyTHF is primarily used to make elastic spandex fibres for a variety of textiles including

underwear, outerwear, sportswear and swimsuits. It also serves as a chemical building block for

thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU).

PTMEG provides exceptional flexibility and elasticity to such products. In particular, PTMEG based

urethanes are noted for their good flex properties at low temperature and their hydrolytic

resistance.

Magnetic tape

Solvents are needed to dissolve the raw binder polymers and to provide a fluid medium for the

pigment dispersion in the magnetic tape paint.

THF, with its high purity, excellent solvency power and favourable conductivity value, is fast

becoming the solvent of choice.

Adhesives

THF solvents can be used to join rigid plastic pipe and in compounded cements for leather, plastic

sheet film extrusions and for molded plastic parts assemblies.

The combined advantages of rapid solvent activity, minimum gelation and lower relative viscosities

for resin solutions, makes THF an attractive solvent choice.



PVC cements

THF solvent cements can be formulated with additional solvents and inorganic fillers to control set

time. THF can also function as a PVC type cleaner before joint formation.

Vinyl films and cellophane

THF is a solvent for many chlorinated resins, which find utility in film formation applications such as

vinyl top coating, cast vinyl films, and coated cellophane. Such applications rely on the ability of THF

to solvate the polymeric resins without excessive viscosity build up. In addition, the high volatility of

THF is essential in these applications because of the need to remove the solvent completely with

minimal energy input.

Pharmaceutical

THF is utilized as a solvent in many pharmaceutical synthetic procedures because of its broad

solvency for polar and non polar compounds.

THF is particularly capable of dissolving many ionic species and organometallics, which are

commonly used in specialty syntheses. In many cases, THF makes higher yields and faster reaction

rates possible.

In addition, THF's high volatility and high purity facilitate solvent removal and recovery without

leaving residues in the desired product.

While THF may be used as a process solvent in pharmaceutical solvent applications, it is not suitable

nor intended to be used as a pharmaceutical excipient.

Reaction solvent

THF is stable under strongly basic conditions and is therefore, the choice for numerous specialty

syntheses, which involve complex catalysts and Grignard reagents. Also, THF is a preferred solvent

for anionic polymerization.

Miscellaneous applications

THF is used in research institutions as a solvent for numerous chromatographic techniques such as

Gel Phase Chromatography. Its broad solvency capabilities are consistently reliable.

Storage and Handling

General industry practice is to store THF in carbon steel vessels at ambient temperatures.

THF may form peroxides when exposed to oxygen or air. However, this reaction can be inhibited

with stabilizers like BHT (butylated hydroxyl toluene).

.

THF is also hygroscopic and will pick up water, if exposed to moist air. It is recommended to store

THF under a blanket of dry nitrogen.



Process

THF is manufactured predominantly by the conventional method of 1,4-butanediol (BDO)

cyclization. THF is produced by the cyclodehydration of 1,4-butanediol (BDO).

INVISTA, BASF and ISP (Marl, Germany) currently produce BDO via the acetylene/formaldehyde

(Reppe) process, while LyondellBasell produces BDO via the propylene oxide/allyl alcohol process.

More recently, n-butane-based process has been developed that eliminate the intermediary step to

BDO

Mitsubishi Chemical's process from butadiene/acetic acid co produces BDO and tetrahydrofuran,

and can shift from making primarily one or the other.

Producers

Global tetrahydrofuran market is a consolidated market dominated by three leading players including

BASF, Dairen Chemical Corporation and Invista.

Other producers include International Specialty Products, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Penn A

Kem LLC, Saudi International Petrochemical Company and Sinochem International Corporation

among others.

BASF

BASF is the world‘s leading provider of PolyTHF.

BASF produces PolyTHF with capacity of 250,000 metric tonne per annum at its sites in Geismar,

Louisiana, USA; Ludwigshafen, Germany; Ulsan, Korea and Shanghai, Caojing, China. The company

produces BDO with capacity of 535,000 metric tonne per annum at its sites in Geismar;

Ludwigshafen; Caojing; Chiba, Japan and Kuantan, Malaysia.

BASF and Xinjiang Markor Chemical Industry Co. Ltd. (Markor) plan to establish two joint ventures

for the production of butanediol (BDO) 100,000 metric tonne per annum and polytetrahydrofuran

(PolyTHF) 50,000 metric tonne per annum in Korla, Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Northwest

China. which are planned to go on stream in 2015.

Bio based polytetrahydrofuran

BASF has announced the availability of bio based Polytetrahydrofuran 1000 (PolyTHF® 1000).

The company is now providing this intermediate to selected partners for testing various applications

in a large scale.

PolyTHF is derived from 1,4 butanediol (BDO), which BASF has produced under license from

Genomatica.

The bio based PolyTHF 1000 is identical in quality to the petrochemical based product, said BASF.



1,4 butanediol / tetrahydrofuran project in USA

Renewable chemicals maker BioAmber (Minneapolis) has entered into a technology license

agreement with Johnson Matthey‘s Davy Technologies division (JM Davy) that will enable BioAmber

to construct and operate 1,4-butanediol (BDO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) plants using JM Davy

catalyst technology and BioAmber biobased succinic acid as feedstock.

The JM Davy license is a ―major milestone‖ for BioAmber‘s next commercial plant and will help the

company to accelerate deployment of its BDO/THF facility, which it plans to commission in 2018.

BioAmber has begun commissioning its first commercial scale asset—a 30,000 metric tonne per

year biobased succinic acid plant at Sarnia, ON.

JM Davy is providing complete basic engineering package for converting biosuccinic acid to bio BDO

and bio THF, along with certain pieces of equipment and the catalyst needed to operate the plant. JM

Davy will also provide on site construction and commissioning support and performance guarantees

for the subsequent operation of the plant. By licensing JM Davy‘s BDO/THF technology, BioAmber

says it eliminates the need to build and operate a demonstration plant.

JM Davy

JM Davy is the global leader in BDO and THF technology, with 14 licenses deployed representing

approximately 800,000 metric tonne per year of installed BDO and THF capacity, or 25% of

worldwide capacity.

JM Davy‘s technology currently uses maleic anhydride, a petrochemical derived from benzene or

n-butane, as the feedstock for making BDO and THF.

The first step of the current process converts maleic to succinic before it is further converted to

BDO and THF. Succinic is the logical alternative feedstock. JM Davy has adjusted and optimized its

process and fully tested BioAmber‘s biosuccinic acid, so it can substitute maleic anhydride without

impacting performance, process economics, or product quality.

Global consumption trend for THF

Global THF capacity is expected to increase steadily, with large number of these proposed additions

being based in China.

Growth opportunities in the worldwide market for THF essentially stem from the escalating demand

for PTMEGl, a major raw material used in manufacture of spandex fibers. In addition, growing

demand for green technologies worldwide is expected to trigger the industry shift towards THF

produced through bio based manufacturing process.

Asia-Pacific,China, in particular is the largest consumer of THF globally.Chinese demand for THF is

increasing rapidly and is expected to grow in next five years, both in terms of demand and

production level.

A prominent trend in the market is deployment of green technologies for THF production.



About 80% of U.S. and Western European THF demand is consumed in the manufacture of PTMEG.

The remainder is for solvent applications and in Western Europe, for the production of

tetrahydrothiophen, a gas odorant.

The largest solvent market for THF is in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cements.

Indian scenario

Indian demand for THF is entirely met by import, as there is no domestic production.

PRECIPITATED SILICA –SCENARIO IN CHINA

Production

China has around 52 precipitated silica producers. Their total capacity is 1.99 million metric tonne

per annum and last year‘s output was 1.515 million metric tonne.

Consumption

In 2014, China‘s apparent consumption of precipitated silica was 1.245 million metric tonne.

Precipitated silica is widely used in rubber articles such as silicone rubber materials, grain rollers,

tape and cables, contributing to a consumption ratio of 12%.

Seventy percent of the reinforcing material used in making shoes, tires and light coloured rubber

articles is precipitated silica.

In the future, the growth of China‘s demand for precipitated silica will be driven mainly by growing

demand for tires, silicone elastomers, tooth paste, coatings and thermal insulation materials.

Agglomerated silica

To meet the growing environmental requirements in the rubber processing industry, especially those

arising from the marketplace, the production of micropearl bead silica and agglomerated silica has

developed rapidly in China.

High dispersion precipitated silica used in ―green‖ tires

A ―green‖ tire may incorporate silica instead of carbon black. It is

expected that the share of ―green‖ tires in China‘s tire market may

exceed 20% in 2015, up from 2% in 2010, and the ―green‖ share is

predicted to surpass 60% by 2020.

At present, the application of high dispersion silica in tire manufacture is

still just beginning in China. The country now consumes more than

2 million metric tonne of carbon black per year. Replacing 50% of that

carbon black by high dispersion silica will create an annual demand for

one million metric tonne of high dispersion silica. The market prospect

is indeed great.

China‘s precipitated silica capacity projects mainly target the needs of

tire makers.

China tire makers are increasing their use of precipitated silica in tires. Replacing 50% of the

carbon black usually used in Chinese tires with high dispersion silica would generate additional

demand for one million metric tonne of high dispersion silica.

Under the new environmental protection law, China‘s new water based environment friendly

coatings – which must incorporate precipitated silica as a delustering agent and thickener have

developed fast and have found more applications and buyers.

Demand for special precipitated silica in the manufacture of coatings is projected to grow fast.


PRECIPITATED SILICA –SCENARIO IN CHINA

Precipitated silica used in silicone elastomers

It is predicted that making silicone elastomers (silicone

rubber) will consume 10%-15% of China‘s rubber supply in

2015, i.e. 1.0-1.5 million metric tonne. In 2020, silicone

elastomers‘ market share is expected to reach 20%-33%,

meaning an annual consumption of 3.0-5.0 million metric

tonne of rubber.

The demand for precipitated silica as a reinforcing agent for

silicone rubber is predicted to reach 100-150 kilo metric

tonne in 2020.

Special precipitated silica used in coatings

China‘s production of coatings has maintained a steady

growth on the whole in recent years, reaching

16.4819 million metric tonne in 2014. In the formulation of

waterborne environment-friendly coatings, precipitated silica

is typically used as a delustering agent and thickener. Coating

makers‘ demand for special precipitated silica will maintain

fast growth for the foreseeable future.


GLUFOSINATE AMMONIUM PRODUCT PROFILE

Glufosinate ammonium is a white solid with pungent odour

Synonym: 2-Amino-4-(hydroxymethylphosphinyl)butyric acid ammonium salt,

DL-Phosphinothricin

CAS Number 77182-82-2

Empirical Formula C5H15N2O4P

Uses

Glufosinate is a natural compound isolated from two species of Streptomyces fungi.

It is used to control important weeds such as morning glories, hemp sesbania (Sesbania bispinosa),

Pennsylvania smartweed (Polygonum pensylvanicum) and yellow nutsedge similar to glyphosate.

It is applied to young plants during early development for full effectiveness.

Registration

Glufosinate ammonium was first introduced into Japan in 1984. In the UK, glufosinate was first

considered for use in 1984. It was not approved then for toxicological reasons, but was given

provisional approval in 1991. US registration was provided in 1993.

The product is now registered for use in more than 40 countries and is marketed under a number of

trade names including Basta, Rely, Finale, Challenge and Liberty.

Producers

Bayer CropScience

Bayer CropScience currently produces glufosinate ammonium at four sites, three in Germany at

Dormagen, Frankfurt am Main, and Knapsack; and one in the United States, at Muskegon.

Bayer CropScience is pushing ahead with two US investments

aimed at increasing production of glufosinate ammonium, the active

ingredient in Bayer‘s herbicide Liberty.

Bayer and Evonik announced an agreement to build two plants at

Evonik‘s manufacturing facility in Mobile for about $200 million.

Each company will be responsible for constructing one plant, with

the plant built by Evonik to supply feedstock to the one built by

Bayer. The partners expect to complete the project in mid-2017.

A joint project with Evonik will add precursor capacity at Mobile,

AL; and a $50-million investment at Muskegon, MI, will expand

capacity for the final product.

Glufosinate-ammonium is a broad-spectrum contact herbicide and is used to control a wide

range of weeds after the crop emerges or for total vegetation control on land not used for

cultivation. Glufosinate herbicides are also used to desiccate (dry off) crops before harvest.

GLUFOSINATE AMMONIUM - PRODUCT PROFILE

In early July, 2015, Bayer held a ceremony at Muskegon to initiate the $50 million expansion project.

The Muskegon site has two units for producing glufosinate ammonium and another for formulating

Liberty. (the trade name) Bayer expects the expanded project to begin production in mid-2017.

Bayer completed a smaller, $15-million expansion of production in 2010.

The projects support Bayer‘s plan to double global capacity to produce Liberty, a broad spectrum

herbicide effective against a wide range of annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. Liberty

is the only non selective herbicide that controls glyphosate resistant weeds.

Producers in China

At present, China‘s glufosinate projects already built and to be built include the following

* Yonon‘s existing 2500 metric tonne glufosinate technical capacity and the planned annual

5000 metric tonne glufosinate technical project in 2016,

* Lier Chemical‘s existing annual 1600 metric tonne per annum glufosinate technical capacity

and the planned 2000-metric tonne glufosinate project in its Guang‘an Base in 2016,

* Jiangsu Huangma‘s existing annual 500 metric tonne glufosinate technical capacity

* Huifeng Agrochemical‘s annual 5000 metric tonne glufosinate technical capacity to be

expected in near future.

Veyong Biochemical,China

Chinese company ENN Ecology Holding Ltd announced the launch of the 1000 metric tonne per

annum glufosinate project by its wholly owned subsidiary Hebei Veyong Bio Chemical Co.,Ltd., with

an investment of Yuan 255 million.

Veyong has currently an annual 450 metric tonne glufosinate production capacity in operation.

Substitute for glyphosate

Glufosinate ammonium can be a suitable substitute for glyphosate.

Given that the key advantage of glufosinate ammonium is its ability to control a broad spectrum of

weeds, the herbicide could be used as a primary crop protection tool by the tea sector in particular.

Chlorinated PVC project in Thailand

Sekisui Chemical (Tokyo) says that its joint venture with Lubrizol for manufacturing chlorinated

polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) resin in Thailand has become operational.

Lubrizol and Sekisui agreed in 2013 to form the jv, S and L Specialty Polymers, which is located in

the Hemaraj Eastern Industrial Estate at Map Ta Phut. Sekisui holds 51% stake in the jv, and Lubrizol

holds the remaining 49%.

The jv‘s plant started operating in June 2015 and has production capacity for 30,000 metric tonne

per year of CPVC resin. Production capacity at the resin plant will be increased to 40,000 metric

tonne per year in 2016, and capacity can be increased to 60,000 metric tonne per year when

demand rises.

Sekisui completed a project in July 2013 to increase CPVC resin capacity at Tokuyama Sekisui‘s

manufacturing site at Shunan, Japan, from 33,000 metric tonne per year to 40,000 metric tonne per

year.

CPVC compound plant

Sekisui announced that it has started production at a new CPVC compound plant at the Hemaraj

Eastern Industrial Estate. The CPVC compound plant is operated by the Sekisui Specialty Chemicals

Thailand jv that was established in December 2013. Sekisui holds a 90% stake in Sekisui Specialty

Chemicals Thailand and the company‘s subsidiary Tokuyama Sekisui holds the remaining 10%.

The plant has production capacity for 24,000 metric tonne per year of CPVC compounds. Sekisui

will sell the CPVC compounds under the Durastream brand.CPVC resin is mainly used to make

pipes that supply hot water and in sprinklers that require heat resistance. Thailand was chosen as the

location for the Lubrizol-Sekisui jv because of its proximity to high growth markets in Asia and the

Mideast.

Natural detergent alcohols

Saudi Kayan, a Sabic affiliate, has started commercially

producing natural detergent alcohols at Al Jubail.

The 50,000 metric tonne per year plant had been

undergoing trial runs since June last year. It was built by

Alkoxylation plant in Singapore

Solvay inaugurated its new large scale alkoxylation plant in Singapore, the largest plant of its kind in

Asia, as part of its global strategy to expand the growth of its specialty surfactants in the region.

The nearly S$50 million ―on pipe‖ investment will help meet that demand, complementing existing

India and China facilities and joining Solvay Novecare‘s seven other alkoxylation plants in Europe and

North America.

Located in the world class integrated petrochemical hub of Jurong Island, the plant receives a key

raw material, ethylene oxide via a dedicated pipeline and fatty oleochemicals from nearby countries,

providing a safe and sustainable source of supply for the near and long term.

The unit produces specialty alkoxylate formulations for the agrochemicals,coatings,home & personal

care, industrial and oil & gas markets in Asia, especially for those in key South East Asia countries

such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia.

The plant opening coincides with Solvay‘s announcement of its expansion of the oil & gas research

lab unit at its research and innovation centre in Singapore. The Singapore laboratory focuses on

leading global innovation projects in the fields of coatings and home & personal care. It also serves as

a regional hub in the development of new sustainable solutions in the agrochemical market.

Lithium carbonate facility in Chile

Albemarle on 8 July, 2015 began commissioning its 20,000 metric tonne per year lithium carbonate

production facility in northern Chile, near Antofagasta.

The $200-million plant will begin producing commercial quantities and will reach full production

early next year. The plant will eventually be outfitted to produce battery grade lithium carbonate,

although it will produce materials for other applications at first. These applications include

electronics, glass ceramics, cement, and aluminum.

Albemarle sources lithium in Chile, Nevada, and Arkansas. After acquiring Rockwood‘s lithium

business in 2015, the company is now the top global lithium producer, ahead of FMC and Chile‘s

SQM.

*****

Potash

Uralkali PJSC, the world‘s largest potash producer, expects Chinese imports of potash to reduce

after the country devalued its currency. The yuan depreciation and China‘s introduction of a

fertilizer tax will probably hurt imports this year.

The potash market is oversupplied and prices in Brazil, one of the largest spot markets, dropped

about 15 percent this year.

Uralkali sees global demand falling to 58 million metric tonne from a record 63 million metric tonne

in 2014.

Tin and lead compounds are used as stabilizing agents in the

production of CPVC compounds. Tin and lead may harm the

environment and human health, and, as a result, Sekisui and

Tokuyama Sekisui are developing CPVC compounds that use

stabilizing agents with no tin or lead.

*****



In India, a weaker rupee versus the dollar will help limit the India‘s potash imports this year, Uralkali

said. Inbound shipments into India will probably total 4.3 million metric tonne to 4.5 million metric

tonne compared with 4.5 million metric tonne last year, the company estimated.

Tighter credit in Brazil, falling crop prices, currency volatility and inventory drawdowns reduced

demand from South American farmers and pushed potash prices lower, Uralkali said. Consumption

of the nutrient in the region is expected to fall to as low as 9.8 million metric tonne this year

compared with 11.8 million metric tonne in 2014, it said.

Shell to drill for oil in Arctic Ocean

The U.S. government gave Royal Dutch Shell the final permit it needs to drill for oil in the Arctic

Ocean off Alaska's northwest coast for the first time in more than two decades.

The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement announced that it approved the permit to drill

below the ocean floor after the oil giant brought in a required piece of equipment to stop a possible

well blowout.

The agency previously allowed Shell to begin drilling only the top sections of two wells in the

Chukchi Sea because the key equipment, called a capping stack, was stuck on a vessel that needed

repair.

Shell is free to drill into oil bearing rock, estimated at 2,400 metres below the ocean floor, for the

first time since its last exploratory well was drilled in 1991.

Propylene and isobutylene coproduction plant

Shandong Chambroad Holding Co., Ltd has commissioned a combined C3/C4 dehydrogenation unit,

according to a news release by UOP LLC, a Honeywell company on August 12.

Located in Binzhou City, Shandong Province, the new unit will produce 116,000 metric tonne per

year of propylene and 104,000 metric tonne per year of isobutylene.

The new unit, which is the first of three in China, uses Honeywell UOP‘s C3/C4 Oleflex™ process

technology to produce propylene, a building block for making plastics, packaging and synthetic fiber,

and isobutylene, a component used for high octane gasoline and synthetic rubber. The unit, which is

only the second of its kind in the world, successfully started up in May and all production targets

have been achieved.

Honeywell UOP‘s C3/C4 Oleflex technology uses catalytic dehydrogenation to convert propane to

propylene and isobutane to isobutylene. Using mixed dehydrogenation, the processes are combined

to produce both materials in a single unit. The technology is proven to have the lowest cash cost of

production and the highest return on investment compared with competing technologies.

Honeywell UOP‘s C3/C4 Oleflex technology has also been licensed by two other Chinese producers.

Dongming Petrochemical Group will produce 265,000 metric tonnes per year of propylene and

isobutylene, and Dongying Liyuan will produce 220,000 metric tonne per year of propylene and

isobutylene using the process. Both facilities also will use Honeywell UOP‘s Butamer™ process,

which converts normal butane into isobutane to increase feedstock flexibility for the Oleflex

process.

Ethanol blending in India

A study by McKinsey said India could potentially save as much as $1.7 billion a year, if the proposed

programme of mixing the cane by product with petrol at a 10:90 ratio is strictly implemented.

The savings will be in the form of less oil imports to that extent.

However, according to industry sources, implementing the 10% blending norm would be easier said

than done, even a decade after the government first mooted the programme to cut down on

vehicular pollution.

This is because while the producers and OMCs have been locked in a constant blame game over the

delay in the finalisation of tenders, several other barriers in the implementation of the blending

programme have come to the fore: levies imposed by various states on the inter state movement of

ethanol despite it being a central subject, mandatory requirement of various excise permits, often to

be submitted manually and fixed prices of ethanol for supplies even beyond 500 km that adds to

transportation costs.

India could achieve only 1.4% ethanol blending with petrol in the last fiscal, even lower than 2013-14

level of 2%.

Impressed by the quality of rural roads constructed using jute and coir geo textiles, the Government

of India has asked states to replicate the ―good experience of Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu‖ in

this regard for projects under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana.

Government of India has stressed that the usage of geo textiles in rural roads is a proven

environment friendly technology, that makes for greater durability as well as reduced maintenance

costs.

The bid to popularise geo textiles in its ambitious rural road construction programme under Rural

Development Ministry is expected to give a major boost to the coir and jute sectors in the domestic

market.

Rice bran oil

India produces 155 million metric tonne paddy and has a potential to produce 8.76 million metric

tonne of rice bran and 1.53 million metric tonne of rice bran oil per annum.

SEA is now looking at new export destination for shipping of rice bran oil, which fetches a premium

over other edible oils.

*****

Use of geo-textiles in rural

roads

Geo textiles are strong synthetic

fabrics usually used in civil

engineering construction projects

(such as highway or dam building)

for stabilising loose soil and

preventing erosion.

.

India was the highest producer of rice bran oil with

an output of 9.5 lakh metric tonne in 2014-15,

followed by China with 2 lakh metric tonne and

Japan with 80,000 metric tonne. India is expected

to produce 9.97 lakh metric tonne this year.

India is expected to ship 10,000 metric tonne of

rice bran oil this financial year after the

Government of India eased restrictions on its bulk

sale, giving a boost to small rice millers. Last year,

the country exported about 2,000 metric tonne of

rice bran oil, according Solvent Extractors'

Association of India (SEA).


PHARMA PAGE

Drug to treat alcohol addiction

The Indian patent office has refused to entertain an application by US based pharma company Eli Lilly

and company for a patent on an invention regarding a drug compound of kappa opioid receptor,

used for the treatment of disorders associated with alcohol dependency. Kappa opioid receptor is a

protein which has marked effects on all types of addiction, including cocaine and opiate abuse.

Eli Lilly‘s patent agent, however, submitted that there was no basis provided by the data in the

prior-art document, allowing a skilled person in the art to correlate a compound structure to kappa

selective opioid receptor antagonism activity.

Registration on Diclofenac

Diclofenac is non steroidal anti inflammatory drug. Cattle owners would inject it into animals to

treat limps and related ailments.

In a gazette issued on July 15, the Union ministry of health and family welfare said: ―Diclofenac

injection for human use shall be in single unit dose pack.‖ The order virtually puts an end to illegal

procurement of human diclofenac by cattle owners.

*****

The patent office has raised objections to the

claims in the application filed by Eli Lilly,

pointing out that the subject matter of

invention lacks inventive steps, in the

backdrop of prior-art documents available in

the public domain.

Though Eli Lilly‘s compounds are antagonists

of the kappa opioid receptor and are useful

for the treatment of disorders associated

with alcohol dependency, inventive steps

cannot be recognised because the problem of

making available the compound had been

solved in an obvious manner, the controller

of patents office, Mumbai said.

However, when vultures were fed on the

carcasses of these animals, they suffered

renal failure and died. Though veterinary

use of the drug was banned in 2006, cattle

owners procured the drug which continued

to be sold in 30 ml vials even though for

human dose is 3ml.

In a move lauded by vulture

conservationists, the Government of India

has banned the sale of multi-dose

diclofenac, the anti-inflammatory drug that

took a severe toll on the country‘s vulture

population. As per the new directive, the

drug will be available in vials of 3 ml only.


UPDATE ON SOLAR POWER SECTOR

CAN PEROVSKITE BE SUBSTITUTE FOR SILICON

IN SOLAR POWER PROJECT ?

In the last few years, perovskite, which is a lot cheaper than silicon, has been knocking about in

solar labs. The efficiency levels in lab tests have reached 20 percent levels that conventional silicon

cells took two decades to get to.

As pure technology, the ‗perovskite solar cell‘ is the long awaited breakthrough. Among the ‗third

generation‘ solar cells (after crystalline silicon, and thin film), perovskites have proven to be better

than ‗dye sensitised‘ and ‗organic‘ cells.

―Perovskites could potentially be used for building integrated windows that can make power,‖ says

Prof Nitin Padture, Institute for Molecular and Nanoscale Innovation of the Brown University, US.

Perhaps, the first step is to combine perovskite and the conventional cells.

An important factor that weighs in favour of perovskites is energy payback, or the time it takes to

offset the energy that would go into producing a material.

If all the energy that went into the manufacture of a silicon solar cell is considered from mining and

purifying silicon to baking it into ingots and cutting wafers out of it—it would be found that it takes

three years for a silicon cell to save (or payback) that much of energy. In contrast, perovskites give

back in just three months, according to scientists at the Northwestern University of the US.

*****

Solar powered pumps

Today, some 25,000 solar powered pumps irrigate the fields in India.

Solar irrigation pumps could easily substitute the 8 million odd diesel powered irrigation pumps.

They could also be preferred over the other 20 million pumps powered by freely supplied electricity,

as it is released inconveniently only in the night. Farmers could, therefore, be encouraged to

purchase solar pumps.

It costs a farmer no more than Rs.30,000 to buy a conventional, grid powered pump. In contrast, a

solar pump costs a lakh of rupees a horse power, so the typical 5 HP power would be billed for

Rs.5 lakh. While the central and state governments offer subsidies, financial constraints are a natural

limiting factor for the farmers.

Perovskite is a mineral composed of calcium titanate, used for making solar cells.

The mineral was discovered in the Ural Mountains of Russia by Gustav Rose in 1839 and is

named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski.

However, perovskites have technical challenges to

overcome. They ‗degrade‘ in air and contain lead, a

toxic metal. Making Perovskite modules as durable as

silicon modules requires technological advances that

have yet to be demonstrated.

Good deal of product development and engineering

will be required to bring perovskite cells to market.



The Govt. of India for instance, has sanctioned Rs.353.50 crore for 2014-15 for 100,000 pumps.

Untill now, 63,436 pumps have been sanctioned to various state governments and another 30,000

through NABARD.

In future, ‗electricity savings companies‘ could install a solar pump at the farmer‘s place, supply him

the water and sell power for a few years and then hand over the pump to the farmer. Hence, simply

using the idle capacity of the solar pump could be the answer.

*****

Storage of Solar energy - Eco grid

The energy storage technology remains largely out of synch with strides in generation technology.

This could change with the advent of lithium ion based (LIB) battery solutions.

Earlier this year, US based Tesla Motors launched Powerwall, an LIB battery that could be typically

used for storing solar energy from photovoltaic installations. EcoGrid goes a step ahead of that by

providing multiple solutions, instead of just storage.

EcoGrid is designed to sense any variation in power supply and automatically switch to stable supply

from the energy stored in the system. This helps manufacturers who suffer production disruptions

from fluctuation in the electricity supply.

Surya Raitha scheme

Karnataka's Surya Raitha scheme is now being

piloted in the Ramnagara district.The scheme

allows farmers to sell surplus energy from solar

pumps to the grid. Since farmers need to use the

pumps only for a few hours a day, and not all days

of the year, the pump lies idle a lot of the time

and can be a source of income.

The pilot scheme covers 250 solar pumps. The

state electricity supply company arranges a loan to

cover the unsubsidised part of the pump‘s cost,

and the farmer pays back the loan out of the

money he makes by selling power.

This model may be the way forward.



The same system can be used for power storage, where supply is not reliable and long hours of load

shedding is the norm. Currently, power is produced from diesel generators to bridge the gap

between demand and supply. The LIB storage system could completely replace such generators, but

the initial cost remains a big hurdle.

Though LIB solutions are relatively expensive, their long life—a storage solution lasts for 4000 cycles

or 10 years—give them a cost advantage over lead acid batteries, which need replacement in three

years. Also, the LIB system takes a fifth of the space of a conventional energy storage system.

―It would need support from the government to bring these solutions to the masses‖,

LIB systems could also make rooftop installations more attractive for consumers, as unused stored

energy could be sold back to the utilities through net metering.

India loses solar case against US at WTO

India has lost another case against the US at WTO, as the body ruled that India's domestic content

requirements under its solar power programme were inconsistent with the international norms.

India will now approach the appellate body of the Geneva based WTO against the dispute panel's

ruling, an official said.

Last year, the US dragged India to WTO on country's solar mission plan.

The US alleged that India's programme appears to discriminate against the US solar equipment by

requiring solar energy producers to use locally manufactured cells and by offering subsidies to those

developers who use domestic equipment.

It also alleged that forced localization requirements restricted US exports to Indian markets.

On January 11, 2010, India launched its national solar policy — Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar

Mission.

The country has an ambitious target of generating 20,000MW of solar power by 2022.

The US companies see this target as a great business opportunity for them. Because of this, they

want India to remove the clause of local content requirement.

Initiative in India

Recently, Acme, a solar and telecommunication equipment

producer, unveiled LIB solution called EcoGrid, showcasing

advancements in storage technology. Although LIB

batteries have been in use in smaller gadgets like mobile

phones, the use of these batteries for storing energy to run

bigger installations has been a recent breakthrough.

A typical storage equipment, about the size of a 150-litre

refrigerator, designed for 5KVA load with a storage

capacity of 6.6 kilowatt hour (Kwh), would cost about

Rs.3.5 lakh, which makes it unaffordable for households. So

Acme is banking on large commercial installations like

industries, hospitals and schools.



SOLAR POWER INSTALLED CAPACITY IN INDIA

CROSSES 4 GW MILESTONE

Grid connected solar power installed capacity has crossed the 4 GW-mark, according to data

released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.

Against a target of 1,400 MW for 2015-16, the achievement in the first four months of the financial

year was 358 MW, or 25 per cent. On the basis of projects awarded in the recent months, both

under the Central and States‘ schemes, it appears that installations in the current year will exceed

2,500 MW.

The MNRE has set a target of 100 GW of solar capacity to be achieved by 2022.

Wind installations in the first four months of the current financial year were 412 MW, according to

the MNRE data.

The India‘s wind capacity is forecast at 38,690 MW by 2020. The government‘s target for 2022 is

60,000 MW.
