 PVC RESIN

PVC is a thermoplastic resin, which in versatility of processing and application surpasses all other
thermoplastic materials. This unique polymer is one of the oldest established plastics. Today, PVC finds
applications in insulation of cables, in pipes and hoses, agricultural products, windows and profiles,
flooring tiles used in the building industry, blister packaging, films and sheets, foamed leather cloth,
curtains, tarpaulins, and also for medical use - for IV, blood bags, etc. The universality of its service
properties is such that new areas of application are being continuously developed.

Grades and Applications

Suspension PVC

• FS-6701
• Rigid and Semi Rigid applications eg. pipes, conduits, hoses and tubes, wire and cable coating,
calendered films/sheets, extruded profiles cable/footwear compounds etc.

Emulsion PVC

containers @ 16.5 MT per 20 ft FCL approximately. Jumbo packing in 750 Kgs. available on request.

This project is a major PVC resin production facility in the town of Ratnagiri in the state of Mahrashtra in India. It
is owned by an Indian company called Finolex Industries Limited (FIL).

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the main revenue earner for FIL with around 70% of Finolex's sales revenues
derived from PVC, while PVC pipes and fittings account for 28% of the revenues. Finolex PVC is used
in applications in a variety of areas such as pipes, films, cables, sheets, and bottles. Most of the
company's markets are within India. Domestic consumption of PVC is predominantly in the agricultural
sector (in pipes), and peak season for PVC is from shortly after Divali until monsoon season. This is
roughly from the late in the last quarter of the year until into the second quarter.

CRYOGENIC JETTY

The first phase of the Ratnagiri project was commissioned in 1994, and was India's first petrochemical
complex to have its own open-sea cryogenic jetty. Finolex is unable to use the cryogenic jetty throughout
the year. It is off limits from mid-May to about mid-September as a result of the monsoons. An all-
weather jetty will allow Finolex to reduce its inventory carrying costs, since it now has to store ethylene
and ethylene dichloride (EDC), (which is an important raw material) for the four-month period that no
ships can berth.

HOECHST PROCESS TECHNOLOGY

The 130,000t/yr petrochemical plant was set up with technical collaboration with UHDE using a process
technology license from Hoechst of Germany. The company manufactures PVC using ethylene dichloride
(EDC) as the starting material. EDC is converted into Vinyl Chloro Monomer (VCM) using oxy-
chlorination process, which is then polymerised into PVC.

6
 POWER UNIT EXPANSION

In 1997, FIL announced a two-phase expansion of PVC capacity at the Ratnagiri plant. In 1997, capacity
was initially raised by 20,000t/yr to 130,000t/yr, and although there are plans afoot to expand to a further
200,000t/yr, these are currently on hold. Finolex raised some $30 million through external commercial
borrowings (ECBs) to finance the expansion planned for Phase 2 and 3 of the Ratnagiri project.
Expansion for Phase 2 and 3 cost $70 million, of which $22 million was spent on the construction of the
new power unit. The capacity expansion had been necessitated through the growth in the domestic PVC
market, at 14% annually. For FIL, plant expansion made the most sense economically, as a greenfield
plant would have been prohibitively expensive.

PVC EXTRUDER LINES

In mid-2000, Finolex Industries announced its intention to increase PVC pipe production at its Ratnagiri
facility to 40,000 from 30,000t/yr. The first expansion of PVC pipe production cost $3 million. A further
expansion from 40,000t/yr to 60,000t/yr will cost around $4 million, and should be complete by the end
of 2002.

The PVC production process explained

The suspension polymerisation process is most widely used process to manufacture PVC. First, the raw
material VCM is pressurised and liquefied, and then fed into the polymerisation reactor, which contains
water and suspending agents in advance. Through high-speed agitation within the reactor, small droplets
of VCM are obtained. Next, the initiator for polymerisation is fed into the reactor, and PVC is produced
by reaction under a few bar at 40 - 60°C. 　 PVC obtained through suspension polymerisation is
suspended in water as particles of 50~200 μm diameter (in slurry form). Thereafter the slurry discharged
from the polymerisation reactor is stripped of residual monomer, dehydrated, dried and the particle size
controlled by screening to yield PVC in the form of a white powder. The un-reacted VCM is entirely
recovered through the stripping process, and after purification, recycled as raw material for reuse in this
8
process. PVC resin produced via this ‘suspension’ process is referred to within the industry using the
abbreviation S-PVC.

Emulsion polymerisation and bulk polymerisation are alternative, much less extensively employed,
technologies to manufacture PVC. Emulsion polymerisation produces finer resin grades having much
smaller particles, which are required by certain applications. This type of resin is sometimes called
‘paste’ PVC and referred to within the industry using the abbreviation P-PVC to distinguish it from S-
PVC.

The vinyl chloride is introduced under pressure to the sealed reactor where it is finely dispersed in water
by vigorous agitation. An initiator that is soluble in the monomer is also added. The mixture is then
heated to 60-70oC. When around 90% of the monomer is converted to the polymer, the reaction is halted
by discharging the slurry into a degasser. The remaining monomer is recycled while the resin is filtered,
centrifuged and dried.

Emulsion polymerisation is conducted in an aqueous solution containing water-soluble initiators and

emulsifiers. The PVC latex formed has a fine particle size and is more suitable for use in paints, paper
and fabric finishes and printing inks.

Mass polymerisation, in which no water is added during polymerisation, usually employs a pre-
polymerisation stage containing liquid VCM in the presence of sufficient initiator to allow for 10%
conversion. The solution is sent to an autoclave reactor where more initiator and VCM are added and the
mixture is heated. The powder resin can be used to make a film with high clarity as well as in other
applications.

The vinyl resin produced is inherently hard and brittle, and needs to be mixed with other additives
before it can be processed into useful products. For example, the addition of plasticisers makes PVC
compounds soft and flexible while adding impact modifiers creates compounds that are tough and
impact-resistant.
9
 The initial step in producing vinyl compounds involves dry blending, which takes place in a closed
vessel where dry and liquid additives are mixed using blades or paddles. Because the resin particles are
porous, the liquid additives are absorbed relatively easily, yielding a dry powder compound. In a certain
applications such as pipe manufacture, these powder compounds can be processed directly into the final
product. In other applications, such as wire and cable, rigid profiles and injection moulded parts,
additional processing may be necessary.

OVERVIEW OF URAN PLANT:

13
 At the Uran plant, processing of crude oil and gas takes place that is coming through two different
pipeplines from Bombay High known as Bombay High Uran Trunk Pipeline each of length of 203km.
The pipeline that carries crude oil is of 30 inch diameter and that carries gas is of 28 inch diameter. The
current pipeline were replaced in the year 2005 by that of old pipeplines of 30 inch and 26 inch in
diameter respectively that were laid in the year 1979. For the new project Hyundai of Korea was selected
as an EPC contractor.

Through these pipelines the plant receives 14MMTPA and 13-14 MMSCMD gas per day
respectively. The plant receives the crude oil from Mumbai High & satellite fields and stabilizes crude oil
by separating water, gas and solids. The stabilized crude oil is then dispatched to refineries like BPCL
and HPCL through Trombay terminal. There are eight storage tanks namely T-202-A,B,C,D,E & T-601-
A,B,C of 60,000 meter cube capacity each for storage of oil from where it is being pumped to various
customers. During the process of stabilization and storage, sludge is generated and found as Tank Bottom
Sludge. The water separated from the oil, contains some amount of and after recovery of oil from water
in MINAS plant, water is disposed off into the sea. An average quantity of 3500kl treated effluent is
discharged to sea.

The plant also stabilizes the gas by removing water, H2S and CO2. The stabilized gas produced is
supplied to GAIL through pipeline for further distribution to customers. The Uran plant also produce
value added product like Low Aromatic Naphtha and LPG. Naphtha is a general term used to describe
special boiling point spirit having a boiling range of appx. 30 to 170 deg.C . Naphtha so produces is
stored in the storage tank of capacity 5000 meter cube. Naphtha is widely used in fertilizer and
petrochemical industries during cracking process. Major buyers of ONGC Naphtha are companies in
Japan & Singapore.LPG produced is stores in spherical storage tanks of capacity 1500x2 meter cube and
750x2 meter cube.The LPG produced is sent to botelling plant of BPCL. Annual production is 298.8 mt
& storage capacity is 47 mt. In house storage is 3 mt & rest is hired storage of 44 mt.

HISTORY OF MOBIL 1

21
The Mobil 1 story began almost 40 years ago, when Mobil resolved a problem plaguing carrier-based
military planes. While the planes were aloft, cold temperatures would sometimes solidify the grease on
wheel bearings. When the planes slammed down onto the aircraft carriers, the bearings failed. A synthetic
wheel-bearing grease, Mobilgrease 28, was Developed for this situation and continues to be used in
aircraft applications worldwide.

By the late 1960s, this technology was used to develop synthetic motor oil for a very specific application
helping the big diesel

engines powering oil rigs on Alaska’s North Slope start and run even at temperatures as low as -40°C
Encouraged by this success and the realisation of synthetic oil’s many high-performance qualities beyond
low-temperature applications, a New Concept Engine Oil Team was created in 1971. The team’s work
resulted in the development of the first Mobil 1 fully synthetic motor oil. By engineering its component
fluids, Mobil 1 achieved far superior lubricant properties than those of conventional oils. Mobil 1
synthetic motor oil was launched in Europe and Japan in 1973, and in North America a year later.
Initially available only in afuel-saving SAE 5W-20 viscosity grade, the Mobil 1 line expanded in the next
decade and its reputation for outstanding performance grew. In 1992, a new formula was introduced that
improved high temperature engine protection.

Advanced Formula Mobil 1 was launched with improved anti-wear performance and lower phosphorus
levels to increase the life of catalytic converters, whilst also providing ultimate temperature protection
ranging from 200° C down to colder than -45° C. The evolution of Mobil 1 continued, when in 1996,
Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic Formula was launched. Engineered to outperform even its worldrenowned
predecessor, Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic combined three highly advanced synthetic components with an
innovative package of unique additives. Mobil 1 Tri-Synthetic series motor oils offered improved wear
protection, cleaner running engines and better high and low temperature durability. Now, for 2003, Mobil
1 with SuperSyn is being introduced. With a unique combination of high-performance fluids, plus the

22
 SuperSyn anti-wear system for protection under the most extreme use, new Mobil 1 with SuperSyn
exceeds even the toughest industry standards. It features:
