3.4 Size and Magnitude of Operation

M/s Guruji Overseas has setup a manufacturing unit of Formaldehyde with the
production capacity 200 TPD at Khasra No. 13//12/2, 13/5/1, 13/1, 13/4, 14/2, 13/3,
13/2 Village Jathlana HB No 04 Tehsil Radaur, District Yamuna Nagar, Haryana. The
capital cost for the Existing project is Rs. 6 Crores which include land, building, plant &
machinery.

3.5 Project description with process details: (a schematic diagram/flowchart layout,

components of the project)
Formaldehyde is the oxidation/dehydrogenation product of methanol with oxygen in
the presence of silver catalyst.

A fixed quantity of methanol and water is introduced into a mixer (F03) from where this
mixture is taken into an evaporator (F04).

Air is also introduced into the evaporator and Pre-heated Recycled Tail Gas is fed just
above the evaporator through a Tail Gas Mixer (F21). A temperature of 70oC is
maintained by heating with steam through the steam coil (F05) which facilitates the
evaporation of methanol.

The air, methanol vapour, water molecules and Tail Gas mixture is then further heated
to 120ºC in the Super heater (F06).

Reaction
The superheated vapour is then introduced into the Reactor I (F09) and then comes
down to the Catalyst bed in Reactor II (F10) where, in presence of silver catalyst
maintained at a temperature of 650º.C, the oxidation/dehydrogenation reaction takes
place as per the following chemistry:

CH3OH = HCHO + H2 Endothermic Reaction

H2 + 1/2O2 = H2O Exothermic Reaction
CH3OH + 1/2O2 = HCHO + H2O Net Exothermic Reaction

Several side reactions also happen to produce formic acid, carbon dioxide and carbon
monoxide. The endeavor is to minimize these side reactions. The catalyst bed

 Annexure 1

M/s Guruji Overseas

Nagar, Haryana
PRE FEASIBILITY REPORT

temperature is maintained at around 640 to 650º C by controlling the composition of

Reactor feed gas.

The Reaction is net Exothermic. In the Reactor II (F10) itself, which is also a waste heat
boiler, the temperature of the product gasses is brought down to 180º C and then
further cooled to about 95ºC in the Reboiler (F11). This is achieved by circulating the
Solution in the Evaporator in the Reboiler which cools down the Product gasses to
about 95º C and itself is heated up to 70º C thus saving on energy.

With Tail Gas Recycle incorporated in the design, Surplus steam to the extent of 200-250
kg/ton of produced Formaldehyde is available for export which can be used in the
heating of the Resin Kettle.

Absorption
The reaction gas containing Formaldehyde, unreacted Methanol, and water vapour is
then directed to Absorption Column-I (F16) and the Formaldehyde gases are absorbed
by the circulating Formaldehyde solution. The absorption of Formaldehyde is an
exothermic process and the circulating Formaldehyde solution is cooled in the Plate
Heat Exchanger (HE1). A part of the circulation is taken out as product.

The Absorber-I is packed with Structure Packing with a high efficiency of contact and
coupled with the efficient cooling system provided results in very efficient absorption
of the Formaldehyde in the absorber.

The unabsorbed gas from the Absorption Column-I is absorbed in the Absorption
Column II (F17) which is packed with Pall Rings. Finally, the gas is washed with pure
Chilled DM water at the upper part of the Column-III (F22), provided with bubble cap
trays, and then exhausted as tail gas to the atmosphere.

The Exhaust gasses now contain only Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon
Monoxide which is lead out to the atmosphere.

Process Waste:
The RO reject is used for Plant Washings and hence no extra waste water shall be
generated. There is no liquid Process Effluent. The plant is based on Zero Liquid
Discharge Scheme.

Hazardous Waste:

Used oil from machineries/D.G. Set is carefully stored in HDPE drums in isolated
covered facility. The used oil is sold to vendors authorized by Haryana Pollution
Control Board for the treatment of the same. Suitable care is taken so that spills / leaks
of used oil from storage could be avoided.

Air Emissions and Control:

The waste gas from the plant has about 73 - 75% Nitrogen, 0.8 to 0.9% Argon, 18 - 22%
Hydrogen, 3 - 4% Carbon dioxide and about 0.3 to 0.4% Carbon monoxide. The
composition mentioned herein is on volume or molar basis. This waste gas is released in
the atmosphere at a height of 16 m and since the density of this gas is less than that of
air, it disperses in the atmosphere and does not cause any pollution or hazard. Hence,
no APCD is required.
To control the air emissions from D.G. Set, stack height of 6 m is provided above the
roof level of D.G. Set based on HSD fuel.

9. ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL (Final Recommendation)

Formaldehyde is used by ply wood and sun mica laminated sheets

manufacturers, who make adhesives like Urea Formaldehyde and Phenol
Formaldehyde products. The commercial production of Formaldehyde is
manufactured from oxidation- dehydrogenation using a silver catalyst involving
either the complete or incomplete conversion of methanol.

The project is envisaged to meet the demand supply gap in the domestic market,
as the gap is created due to increase in growth of Formaldehyde for meeting
increased demand of PLYWOOD and SUN MICA industries.

The Plywood Boards and sun mica sheets market is growing very fast in India.
The market is expected to continue to grow at the minimum rate of 10 to 15% per
year which makes the sufficient possibility to fulfill the domestic market
demand. Both the Domestic & Export supplies of the company will indirectly
contribute to the growth of our nation.

So considering above, M/s Guruji Overseas has setup a manufacturing unit of

Formaldehyde with the production capacity 200 TPD at Village Jathlana HB No
04 Tehsil Radaur, District Yamuna Nagar, Haryana by M/s Guruji Overseas.
