This is a new project for the manufacturer of Synthetic organic chemical (Butyl phenols) by well-
known business group “Vinati Organics Limited” (VOL).
Vinati Organics limited are the major manufacturer of variety of specialty chemicals,
pharmaceutical intermediates and chemicals / additives with expertise in the field of synthetic
organic chemicals.
Butyl Phenols are intermediates which find applications as raw materials for products that go
into a wide variety of industries such as perfumery, inks & resins, plastics and lubricants. Butyl
phenols are not directly used for these applications, but act as building blocks for making useful
products. VOL is planning to manufacture the following for butyl phenols:
Almost all quantity of butyl phenols used in India is imported. Around 35-40% of the total
quantity finds application in the perfumery industry. Around 15% is used for plastic additives
and the remaining butyl phenols are used for inks/resins and lubricants.

Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
India is a net importer of butyl phenols. By volume, PTBP is the largest product amongst the four
butyl phenols. It is mostly imported from Korea, Taiwan, Singapore and Russia. There are
majorly 2 grades of PTBP imported into India– Technical grade used for perfumery application
and Standard grade that is used in resin/ink application.
OTBP come second by volume amongst these four butyl phenols. It goes entirely into
manufacturing of perfumery products. All leading Indian perfumes manufacturing companies
are users of OTBP. This product is imported from Switzerland and Taiwan.
The use of 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP is currently smaller by volume. These two products are used
for manufacturing antioxidants which are used as additives for plastics. With increasing use of
plastics and composites in India, the use of these butyl phenol based antioxidants is expected to
grow rapidly. 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP are imported into India from Switzerland, Taiwan,
Singapore and China.
The total demand of these butyl phenols in India is currently 20,500 MTPA.
In India, currently, there are no manufacturers for butyl phenols. Previously, companies like
Herdillia (Now SI Group), Balmer Lawrie, Naik Naware Chemical Pvt Ltd tried to manufacture
these products. However, due to lack of scale, IB supply constraint, they couldn’t manufacture
products economically.

In FY 2014-15 and FY 2015-16, India spent around $ 45 million and $ 35 million respectively for
importing the butyl phenols. VOL will help save so much foreign exchange in case the plant is
operational.
In addition to this, because of the availability of raw materials like 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP, there
will be an increased manufacturing of antioxidants and UV stabilizers in India. These
antioxidants which are currently being imported into India will be manufactured in India
eventually adding to the self-sufficiency and additional foreign currency savings besides
generating employment opportunities.
Globally, Butyl Phenols are well known compounds widely used in numerous applications.
While, in India PTBP and OTBP are large volume products, globally, 2,6-DTBP and 2,4-DTBP are
large volume products. Globally, these di-tertiary butyl phenols are widely used in lubricants,
plastic additives and fuel additives The use of 2,6-DTBP as a jet fuel additive is a large volume
application globally. Globally, PTBP is also used in poly carbonate manufacturing.
Some companies that are large volume manufacturers of butyl phenols are SI Group, BASF,
Songwon, Oxiris, Chemtura/ Addivant, Eutec, Kaoching, Tasco, DIC. Almost all these butyl phenol
manufacturers are forward integrated and they also manufacture antioxidants for plastics and
lubricants from di tertiary butyl phenols.
The estimated capacity of butyl phenols globally is close to 400000 TPA. However, since a large
quantity of butyl phenols are captively consumed, estimating the exact production of butyl
phenols globally is not possible.
Lily Aldehyde
6
Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
Its strong diffusivity makes it invaluable for use in soaps and detergents. Leading FMCG soaps
and detergent manufacturers are the users of formulated lily aldehyde. Other than soaps and
detergents, the product is also used in cleaning agents, fine fragrances, cosmetics and air
fresheners. It may also be used as a perfumery ingredient is various coatings and paints,
fillers/plasters, ink/toners, polishes/wax blends and scented articles (clothes, eraser, toys,
paper articles, CD).
While most of the applications of lily aldehyde are related to personal care and perfume
applications, there is a small demand of this product in agrochemical industry as an intermediate
to make weedicide.
Indian market and global market
At present, there is no manufacturer of lily aldehyde in India and current imports of this product
in India are close to 800 metric tons per annum. In India, all the lily aldehyde that is imported is
used in the personal care industry in the form of perfume/ fragrance. In India, the product is not
currently used in agrochemical industry.
The global market for this product is close to 20000 metric ton per annum. The global demand
of this product is estimated to remain stable or slightly decline. The Indian market of this
product is expected to remain constant or grow moderately.
The raw materials for this product are p-tertiary butyl benzaldehyde, propionaldehyde and
hydrogen. Propionaldehyde is a widely traded product in India and is readily available. VOL is
going to establish a plant to make p-tertiary butyl benzaldehyde and hydrogen plant is also
proposed to be established by VOL. VOL is proposing to establish a plant of close to 2000 Ton
per annum of which half will be used for import substitution and other half will be for exports.
Size: It is proposed to produce following products at the existing site at lote after removal of
plan to produce Tertiary Butyl Alcohol due to place constraints which was considered in recently
issued EC letter to this site Ref. SEAC-2015/CR-236/TC-2 dated 28.06.2016.

Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
VOL would like to install a capacity of 39,000 MTPA for the 4 butyl phenols put together. Out of
these around 20,500 MTPA is the current Indian demand while the remaining 18,500 MTPA will
be for exports. Since 2,4-DTBP and 2,6-DTBP have huge demand globally, it will be possible to
export these products. Some of the target customers for di tertiary butyl phenols could be Cytec,
Everspring, Omnova, Adeka, etc.
Due to the availability of butyl phenols in India, eventually, there will be an increased production
of downstream derivatives of butyl phenol which will lead to more export possibilities.
The proposed establishment of plant at plot A-20 MIDC, Lote will certainly lead to increase in
employment generation. We will have employment generation for operation, maintenance,
Packaging, Dispatch, administration etc. We estimate that there will be a net generation of
around 120 jobs on account of this project. Also there is great potential for employment in the
downstream industries.

Ortho tertiary Butyl Phenol & 2, 6 Di tertiary butyl phenols:- Phenol dehydration followed by
Aluminum phenoxide preparation & Alkylation of phenol with Iso-butylene to form maximum
of OTBP (Ortho tertiary butyl phenol) & 2,6 DTBP( 2,6 di tertiary butyl phenol). In this process
there is release of H2 gas & formation of Aluminum sulphate as by product during reactive
extraction with dilute sulphuric acid.
Para tertiary Butyl Phenol:- In this process catalytic alkylation of phenol with Isobutylene in
continuous vertical catalytic reactor to form maximum of PTBP(Para Tertiary Butyl Phenol).
There is no downstream process for this reaction; product mixture will be sent directly to
separation section.

Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
2,4 di Butyl Phenol:- In this process catalytic alkylation of Phenol with Iso butylene followed by
extraction of liquid catalyst with DM water & product stream will go to distillation / Separation
section.
Downstream separation:-
Product mix from PTBP will be directly go to separation section where unreacted Phenol &
heavies will be separated to get pure PTBP as liquid form. This molten PTBP will be further send
to flakers & packing section.
Product mix generated from OTBP/2,6 DTBP reaction scheme & 2, 4, DTBP scheme will be mixed
together & then separation of desired product from product mix will be done with removal of
unreacted phenol & heavies to get pure OTBP,2,6DTBP & 2,4DTBP as pure product which will
be stored in respective storage tanks. All the 3 products will be stored & supply in liquid form
only.
For PTBBAL:-
VOL has already received EC for Manufacturing of p-tert Butyl Toluene (PTBT) from Isobutylene
and Toluene and also manufacturing of p-tert Butyl Benzoic Acid (PTBBA) by Air Oxidation of
PTBT.
VOL subsequently worked out with IICT Hyderabad (who have developed the PTBT & PTBBA
process) for partial oxidation process of PTBT.
Partial Oxidation process results in formation of p-tert Butyl Benzaldehyde also along with p-
tert Butyl Benzoic Acid. The brief process description is as follows
Desired quantity of PTBT/Acetic Acid / Catalysts and co-catalysts is charged in the reactor. The
mix is heated to desired temperature and then air is introduced for oxidation purpose. Partial
oxidation is achieved by reducing the reaction time.
12
Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
After the reaction is over the mixture is splashed in crystallizer where PTBBA is crystallized out
and purified by washing/filtration and drying. The mother liquor after PTBBA removal contains
unreacted PTBT, acetic acid, dissolved PTBBA and catalysts, p-tert Butyl Benzaldehyde
(PTBBAL) formed. This is subject to distillation to recover and recycle acetic acid and soluble
PTBBA + Catalyst, PTBT and PTBBAL in last column.
The major use of PTBBAL formed by partial oxidation is in manufacturing of Lilialdehyde (lilial)
which has main application in perfumery industry.
Lilial is manufactured from PTBBAL in two stage synthesis. In first step PTBBAL is reacted with
Propionaldehyde to form an intermediate aldehyde which on hydrogenation gets converted to
Lilial / Lili aldehyde. The reaction mixture is separated/purified by Distillation to get pure
Liliakdehyde.

Existing land use pattern, Forest, water bodies details are as follows
The land is in notified industrial area MIDC which is developed by Govt of Maharashtra. Hence
it has fully developed infrastructure required for running the chemical manufacturing units.
Company’s existing unit is running since 2001-02 in same MIDC area. The site/land/location is
well connected by Rail/Road and also has all possible communication networks. Manpower
(technical/ non-technical) is easily available. Social infrastructures like
schools/markets/residential areas/entertainment/medical facilities are well developed.
4.1 Climate:
Lote comes in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra. The location climate is similar to that on the
west coast of India, with plentiful and regular seasonable rainfall, oppressive weather in the hot
months and high humidities throughout the year. The summer season from March to May is
followed by the south-west monsoon season from June to September. October and November
form the post-monsoon or the retreating monsoon season. The period from December to
February is the cold season.
21
Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
4.2 Rainfall:
The regional distribution of rainfall is mainly explained by the relief of the land and the direction
of the rain bearing winds. The supply of rain to the inland areas is considerably more than to the
coastal areas. It becomes heavier or lighter, according to the nearness or otherwise of the station
to the great Sahyadri range which powerfully attracts the rain clouds. Mandangad is, however,
an exception though its distance from the sea-is just about 14 miles. The average rainfall
recorded by this station appears to be quite high as compared to the averages of Deorukh,
Chiplun, Rajapur and Khed which are so near the Sahyadri hills.
Ante-monsoon or "mango" showers occur in April-May. Although the amount of precipitation is
small, these showers have great value in so far as the preliminary kharif operations are
concerned. The south-west monsoon is the main rainy season, commencing by about the middle
of June and lasting till the end of September. Winter fall, resulting from the retreating monsoon,
is almost negligible, which explains why rabi cultivation is practiced on an insignificant scale.
Most of the rabi crops are brought to maturity mainly by irrigation.
The length of the rainy season has an important bearing on the agricultural operations and
output of the district. In a normal rainy season, there are about 100 rainy days. A substantial
portion of which runs to waste because of its extreme concentration during a certain part of the
season which reduces the effectiveness of the rainfall commensurately. From the point of view
of agriculture, effectiveness of rainfall depends on many factors such as, the normal rainfall,
length of the rainy season, occurrence of rain at the right time during the agricultural season, its
spacing during the season, nature of the soil, rate of evaporation, etc.
4.3 Temperature:
Meteorological data are available for four stations in the district, viz., Harnai, Ratnagiri, Deogad
and Vengurla. Being a coastal district the variation of temperature during the day and through
the seasons is not large.
In the hot season temperature rises slowly from March, and May is the hottest month. With the
onset of the monsoon, temperature drops by three to four degrees. Day temperatures during the
monsoon are lower than those in the cold season. In the post monsoon months of October and
November, day temperatures increase and days in November are as hot as in May. Night
temperatures are the lowest in January. Areas within 20 to 25 kilometres of the coast are the
most pleasant particularly in the hot months with the sea breeze blowing, nearly throughout the
day. Further inland during the hot months both days and nights can be oppressive and more so
in the tract at the foot of the Western Ghats. Along the coast the maximum temperature rarely
goes beyond 38°C (100.4°F) but in the interior may reach 40° or 41°C (104°0 or 106°0 F).
Winds:
Winds are very strong and are mainly westerly or south westerly during the monsoon. In the
rest of the year winds blow from directions between north and east in the mornings and
between west and north-west in the afternoons.

4.4 SOILS
The most predominant rock formation of the district is the Konkan laterite, formed from the
original trap. It is an argillo-ferrugenous deposit and covers the major portion of the land surface
forming undulating plateaus with a general elevation of 200 to 300 feet Laterisation has taken
place under the hot humid conditions. Due to heavy rainfall, the bases have been leached away
along with the silicic acid and hence the resulting rock is acidic in reaction and rich in iron and
aluminium oxides with a silica-sesquioxide ratio of less than two. The hydrated iron oxides
impart the red colour to the soils. Due to these geological formations the soils of the district are
mostly lateritic which are found mixed with trapping soils in the north and shallow soils in the
south. Along the coast are the alluviums. There are small patches of salt lands developed near
the creeks.
Lateritic Soils
Lateritic soils which are predominant in the district, vary in color from bright red to brownish
red owing to the preponderance of hydrated iron oxides. They are always acidic, the pH value
ranging from 4.5 to 6.5. Lime is deficient or almost absent. Usually they have very low
phosphorus and potash content, but are fairly well supplied with nitrogen and organic matter.
Their texture is loamy and depth varies from one foot to three feet. They are porous and not
retentive of moisture and are found all over the district except in Mandangad taluka which
consists mainly of forests. These soils, however, are found in several grades, which depend upon
their (soils) location and the extent of admixture of different rocks. The following of these grades
are of special significance.
Rice Soil
These soils have various names which are identified with their location. Those situated at higher
levels are usually known as mal, while those at slightly lower levels are called kuryat soils. Near
the water courses, which have a fair supply of water during the rabi season, are the panthal or
vaingan soils. All these soils benefit by liming and give high response to the application of
phosphatic and potassic fertilisers. Only a kharif crop of paddy can be taken on these soils. On
the panthal soils, however, a crop of rabi pulse (wal) or summer (vaingan) paddy can also be
taken.
Varkas Soil
These soils are situated on the slopes of the hills and are partly eroded, yellowish red and poor
in fertility. Further, they are shallow in depth and coarse in texture. Ragi (nagli) is the principal
crop in these soils and it responds well to supplies of nitrogen and phosphate. Cashewnut grows
in plenty in this area. It is on these soils that the world renowned Alphonso mangoes are grown.
On the mountain tops are the perennial forests, where the soils are rich in humus because of
their being protected from erosion. They are reddish-brown in colour.
23
Pre-Feasibility Report Vinati Organics limited, Plot No. A-20, D-30/2, MIDC Lote Parshuram
Coastal Alluvium
The coastal strips in Dapoli, Guhagar, Ratnagiri and Rajapur talukas are covered with soils of
recent deposits and are locally known as pulanwat. They are deep sandy loams and cocoanut
gardens and arecanut gardens thrive well in them. Paddy is also taken here to some extent.
Salt Land
Due to the inundation of the sea, a part of the coastal soils has "become salty. They are locally
known by several names like khar, khajan, kharvat, etc. In Deogad, Malvan and Vengurla talukas,
the entire western strips are salty while in other coastal talukas only salt patches which are
suited to the coarser types of paddy are to be noticed.
The expansion is planned at existing plot of the company, so no new specific / additional
planning is envisaged. The Green Belt area statement is attached herewith.
Since expansion doesn’t involve relocation/shifting of any existing settlements on land, the
rehabilitation and resettlement is not applicable for this expansion.
