Hindustan Newsprint Ltd. (HNL) is a government company in the Indian Central Public Sector.

HNL was incorporated under theCompanies Act, 1956, on 7 June 1983, in Kottayam District, Kerala State. HNL is a fully owned subsidiary of Hindustan Paper Corporation Limited (HPC) which is a fully owned Government of India Enterprise. Hindustan Newsprint Limited (HNL), a Government of India Enterprise, uses advanced technology and eco friendly raw materials and processes to produce superior quality newsprint. Newsprint is used in the printing of newspapers, flyers, and other printed material intended for mass distribution. The consumers of newsprint include printers or publishers of newspapers, periodicals, textbooks or books of general interest. Diversity in range HNL produces a wide range of newsprint grades and writing and printing paper. Initially, the company produced 52 GSM (Grams per Square Meter) newsprint. Later, to meet changing market demands, HNL commenced production of 48.8 GSM newsprint. With increasing demand for lower GSM newsprint, HNL started production of 45 GSM newsprint also. HNL maintains consistent quality in all grades of newsprint that it manufactures. Salient Features Grammage 48.8 / 45 GSM Colour Standard / Pink Brightness 55 - 58 % ISO Size of reel 34 cm to 163 cm Writing and Printing paper Grammage 54/60GSM Size of reel 25.4 cm to 86 cm. HNL Newsprint is of superior quality and comparable to world-class standards. Reason why, HNL commands an enviable position in the domestic newsprint market, today. HNL is highly customer focussed and enjoys exclusive patronage with top dailies in India. The raw materials like Bamboo woods are used for manufacturing process. These raw materials are brought to the chipper through a conveyer belt.The function of the chipper is to chip the woods. There are three types of chippers(a) Wood Chipper (b) Read Chipper (c) Mini Chopper

All the chippers have the same function and the motor used in the chipper is the second largest motor.The output obtained from the chippers is fed to the boilers. There are two types of boilers. (a) Recovery Boilers (b) 3 Power Boilers These boilers superheat the wood and the steam produced by it is sent to the turbine generator where electricity is produced. And in that way,the output from the boilers is transferred to CMP,CP and DP. CMP is abbreviated to Chemical Mechanical Pulp.The pulp is mechanically sterilized. CP is abbreviated to Chemial Pulp.Here the pulp is bleached three times using chlorine. It is also washed three times. DP is abbreviated to Drinking Pulp, where old paper is recycled to mix with Chemical Pulp and Chemical Mechanical Pulp. All the above three pulps are fed to a tank where it is mixed and made into paste. This paste is washed and rolled over a roller and is fed to the paper machine. The paper machine consists of 37 tyres placed in four batches.Thus the paper is obtained as a big rolled case. Every machinery action facilitating this process is controlled by computers,placed in every operating station.The computers used in these plants is a workstation.The system that controls the technical process is developed by the company YOKOGAWA. Yokogawa Electric Corporation is a Japanese electrical engineering and software company, with businesses based on its measurement, control, and information technologies.Since 1997,the company has adopted Enterprise Technology Solutions(ETS) as its new business concept. ETS is a commitment to the aim of providing optimum solution from the viewpoint of enterprise management,to satisfy every customers requirements and expectations. As a core product in the control domain of the entire ETS solution,YOKOGAWA came up with the development of a powerful system called the CENTUM CS 3000,a process control system for large scale plants.This CENTUM CS 3000 software is used in this industry.This type of system consists of a special type of keyboard . CENTUM CS 3000 R3 in 1998 as the first Windows-based production control system under our brand. For over 10 years of continuous developments and enhancements, CENTUM CS 3000 R3 is equipped with functions to make it a matured system. With over 7600 systems sold worldwide, it is a field-proven system with 99.99999% of availability.

CENTUM CS 3000 R3 features an open architecture, flexibility, and compatibility with existing systems. It can be seamlessly connected with the previous CENTUM systems, as well as it is easily upgraded into CENTUM VP system which was released in 2008. Yokogawa guarantees the long-term support and supply of CENTUM CS 3000 R3 systems so that our customers will enjoy the optimized use of the asset. CENTUM CS 3000 systems are configured by field-proven hardware and software to assure high reliability.This system is widely used in industrial fields.This system also has an improved operation efficiency with multi-window display and other modern technology. It also has improved automation and controllability.It uses Windows NT as the operating system of components for operation and monitoring.It is equipped with the OLE FOR Process Control(OPC) Serve function. It supports the FOUNDATION field bus for integration with networks of field sensors and actuators.It allows programmable logic controllers(PLCs) to be connected easily.It allows Windows based operations,which are familiar to most PC users.It also has additional engineering functions that are suitable for the control systems of large scale plants. During the life cycle of this plant,a DCS often modified and expanded.In this,engineering of system modifications and expansion can be isolated from the operation of the existing system so that engineering can be implemented efficiently and effectively without affecting plant operation during the engineering period. In CENTUM CS 3000,Maximum number of domains = 16 Maximum number of stations = 64 per domain Total number of stations = 256 Maximum number of tags = 100,000 In CENTUM CS 3000,there are two stations. (i) Operator Stations (ii) Control Stations The operator stations are referred to as Human Interface Stations(HIS).HIS can run system generation functions and other general purpose business applications such as Microsoft Excel as well as performing operation and monitoring operations. Two types of hardware platforms can be used for HIS,thus allowing the user to choose a compatible machine.The control station is referred to as field control station(FCS).It is the core of each system and is necessary to run a plant continuously for 24 hours a day and 365 days ab year.

To obtain an open interface,Windows NT is used as the operating system of system components for operation in an year.Still a YOKOGAWA original operating system is used for FCS because FCS must demonstrate high reliability for construction 24 hours based operation. The central bus is as important for control as FCS. Vnet,which works at 10Mbps,token passing method,is the control bus that has already been field-proven with the CENTUM CS. Vnet is a dual-redundant bus standard control bus consisting of the following components 1) ACG : Provides an Ethernet port for supervisory computer and supports the TCP/IP protocol.It is also used for connecting Vnet to a large area network. 2) BCV-V,BCV-H,BCV-L : Gateway units are used to connect Vnet,HF-Bus and HL-Bus to the Vnet. The whole plant is divided into two domains. Domain 1 consists of 5 control stations and 13 operator stations. Domain 2 consists of 4 control stations and 3 operator stations. The information exchange between the two domains is done through Vnet.In case there;s a problem in any part,the error message is obtained through the gateway units.Thus CENTUM CS 3000 is truly a grace to the industrial sector. A dominant player in the Indian Pulp & Paper Industry with a wide range of product grades from Newsprint to premium film coated varieties Rs 900 Cr. entity with country-wide market presence Total production capacity of 280,000 MT per annum scales which are comparable with the best players in the industry HNL solicits the pro-active support of the media fraternity in favorably shaping up the opinion in the public domain by way of building mass awareness for its agenda, which combine social and economic imperatives farm forestry, purchase at gate and waste paper collection schemes, and also to act as facilitating reagents for the initiation, implementation & completion of its ambitious Expansion cum Diversification Project
