TALK OF THE MONTH

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
THE CRITICAL ROLE OF CONSULTANTS
With the challenges and opportunities facing the chemical industries
becoming increasingly complex, particularly in view of the expectations of the
community with regard to safety and ecological standards, there is great
urgency to develop and encourage thought leadership for the chemical
industries. Obviously, the consultancy organizations are in unique position to
provide such thought leadership, that would set the trend and direction of
growth, in tune with the requirement and expectations from time to time.
The consultants are supposed to be experts in their chosen area of profession
and should therefore have the capability and knowledge level to emerge as
thought leaders.
However, many consultancy set ups
in India are yet to mature to the
requisite level in terms of size and
facilities. One reason for this could be
that the Indian chemical industries
are yet to adequately recognize the
importance of quality consultancy
organizations, who
can provide
guidelines and advice to them and in
working out the strategies to
overcome the complex problems and
achieve growth. The incentives and encouragement provided by the
government to the consultancy organizations are also minimal.
With the industries not fully realizing the potential utility value that the
quality consultancy organizations can provide, there is still not enough
impetus for the consultancy organizations to grow. As a result, the best of
talents are not being attracted to the consultancy organizations to the extent
that it should.
The consultants have to necessarily equip themselves with the strong and
adequate database and information network and keep themselves
continuously informed and updated about developments around the world.
The development of capability to analyse and interpret the scenario in
competent manner with original and innovative approach is vitally necessary.
The consultants have to specialize in chosen areas of activities without
extending their nets in variety of activities and they should get focused
credentials. The consultants can emerge as the thought leaders, if they
would fulfill these requirements in an elegant manner.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP THE CRITICAL ROLE OF CONSULTANTS

The consultancy organizations have to develop brand image to be recognized
as the thought leaders and such image can not be built overnight. It would
take considerable efforts and proven track record to achieve this. Therefore,
the consultants have to dig in and stay. Obviously, the gestation time for
gaining expertise in any particular area of activities for consultancy
organizations and emerging as thought leaders is atleast 6 to 7 years.
The most essential requirement for a consultancy organization to emerge
strong and famous is its manpower strength and the quality of its
manpower. Therefore, the stability in the manpower strength and absence of
attrition amongst employees are also important factors in emerging as
experts and thought leaders .
Obviously, as the thought leader, chemical consultancy organizations should
seize the initiatives and take the leadership role without waiting for
invitations to present their vision and ideas.

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU

NOW IN BACK SEAT
It is generally well recognized that the
growth of chemical industry is essential
requirement for recording all round
industrial growth in multiple directions.
There is rarely an industrial or consumer
product, where the chemicals do not
play an active role in the production of
the product , whether it be cosmetic,
pharma,
textile,
electronic,
paper,
aeronautic or metallurgy.
As the growth of the chemical industries are the driving force for over all
industrial and economic development, any neglect of the chemical industry
can have adverse impact on the long run, in the economic and industrial
development of any region.
Tamil Nadu which was at one time a pioneer in setting up chemical projects,
appears to be losing its way now and nothing significant is happening in the
development of chemical industry in the state. Unfortunately, the
Government of Tamil Nadu which takes considerable interest in starting and
encouraging automobile sector and its ancillaries and software projects, have
not thought it necessary to provide similar attention and encouragement to
the chemical industries.
The lull in the chemical industries in Tamil Nadu would become clearly
evident, if one would see the several missed opportunities . A few examples
are given below:
Petroleum Refineries:
Chennai Petroleum Corporation was set up a few decades back and has been
expanding its capacities over the years. It has now announced plans for
brown field refinery of capacity 7 million tonnes per annum at cost of
Rs.10,000 crores. While this is praiseworthy step, nothing much has
happened beyond expanding capacity of petroleum refinery.
Neither Chennai Petroleum Corporation nor the Tamil Nadu Government has
taken any worthwhile steps to promote and encourage .the downstream
petrochemical industries based on the product stream of Chennai Petroleum
Corporation, similar to what has been achieved in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Therefore, Chennai Petroleum Corporation remains largely as an island of
activity

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU NOW IN BACK SEAT

A large petroleum refinery and petrochemical complex was proposed in
Cuddalore by Nagarjuna Group around a decade back. Still, there is no firm
indication as to when the project would be ultimately commissioned, though
the companys management has been announcing schedules from time to
time. The project is facing unending road blocks
The PVC project
Only big project that has come up in Tamil Nadu in the last two to three
years is PVC project of Chemplast Sanmar at Cuddalore. Unfortunately, this
project was also delayed by several years due to environmental issues and it
lost valuable time.
Fertiliser industries
Two fertilizer units in Tamil Nadu namely SPIC and Madras Fertilisers are in
doldrums.
SPIC has remained closed for sometime now and it has announced that it
would restart the plant soon. Still one has to keep fingers crossed about the
future of SPIC, as it has accumulated losses which has now reached
alarming proportion.
The other fertilizer unit namely Madras Fertilisers Ltd is facing threat of
uncertain future due to unhealthy financial conditions.
No other fertilizer project is under
implementation in the state at present.

advanced

stage of

planning

or

Soda ash
The only soda ash plant in Tamil Nadu namely Tuticorin Alkali Chemicals has
also been remaining closed, as it depends for its raw material requirement
from SPIC. This unit is also facing distress situation.
Titanium dioxide
Titanium dioxide is very important chemical. The raw material for titanium
dioxide namely ilmenite deposits are available in a few states in the country,
with large deposits in Tamil Nadu. However, the ilmenite potential in the
state remain largely unexploited .
A large titanium dioxide project was announced by Tata Group in Tuticorin
but it did not take off and Tata Group has officially announced the withdrawal
of the project. This is a serious set back for the chemical industry in Tamil
Nadu.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU NOW IN BACK SEAT

Starch based projects:
Tamil Nadu produces around 80% of the tapioca in the country largely in the
Salem belt.
Unfortunately, several tapioca based starch units in Tamil Nadu have closed
down in the past,due to variety of reasons.
A number of important value added starch based products like citric acid,
sorbitol, glucose etc. can be produced from tapioca available in the state. But
nothing worthwhile has been done.
Glorious opportunities for growth of starch based industries are being lost.
Magnesite:
Tamil Nadu is the largest producer of magnesite ore in the country.
Magnesite ore is the starting material for the production of Dead Burnt
Magnesite (DBM) used in the refractories. Now, India has become large
importer of Dead Burnt Magnesite. The problem is that the magnesium
content in the magnesite ore in the Tamil Nadu has been steadily coming
down due to continuous mining over the last 200 years or so .As the
magnesium content in the magnesite ore are becoming less, the quality of
the Dead Burnt Magnesite produced from the ore have become unacceptable
to the refractory industry.
The only way out is to set up beneficiation project for the magnesite ore to
improve its purity level. Sometimes back, a large beneficiation plant for the
magnesite ore was proposed but the project was given up.
Molasses/alcohol based project
Tamil Nadu is one of the big producers of sugarcane / sugar in the country.
Unfortunately, there is no large molasses / alcohol based project in operation
in the state. Many molasses based chemicals are being imported by the
country.
While there is huge focus in Tamil Nadu on using ethyl alcohol produced from
the molasses for human consumption, attention has not been paid to
promote industries for producing chemicals from molasses and ethyl alcohol.
PTA project of SPIC
A large purified terephthalic acid project requiring investment of several
hundreds of crores of rupees was proposed by SPIC several years back and

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU NOW IN BACK SEAT

the company claimed that it spent over Rs.200 crores in the project. But the
project did not take off at all.
Traditional sector
There are a number of traditional agro based chemical sectors in Tamil Nadu
like vinca rosea (catharanthus roseus) operating for more than one hundred
years. Most of these projects have been remaining stagnant and without any
significant modernization to achieve growth.
Advantage of long coastal belt
Considering the benefits of long coast enjoyed by Tamil Nadu, there are
many possibilities for setting up chemical projects based on sea water brine
like salt based chemical units, bromine based chemicals, magnesium based
chemicals etc. A magnesium metal project from sea water brine was set up
by Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation some time back and the
project was given up due to inadequate technology
Production of fuel from algae is an exciting futuristic project opportunity, for
which long term plans have to be initiated now. Tamil Nadus long coastal
belt is ideal for the algae based fuel project.
Case for promoting jojoba project
Considering the climatic condition in Tuticorin belt, exciting possibilities exist
for setting up project for jojoba crop.
Jojoba is drought prone crop with great potential for cosmetic and lubricant
applications and with long life of over 50 years. The global demand for jojoba
based products are steadily increasing and the products are in great demand
in international market. Government of India has considered this as a thrust
project and set up promotional body in Rajasthan . But nothing has
happened in Tamil Nadu though Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu is an ideal location
for the crop.
Herbal industry at the cross roads:
Tamil Nadu has huge potential for setting up globally competitive herbal
projects with good export potential.
A few years back,a feasibility study was commissioned by Tamil Nadu
Medicinal Plant Farms & Herbal Medicine Corporation Ltd. (TAMPCOL- a Tamil
Nadu Government undertaking)to assess the potential for herbal projects in
Tamil Nadu and prepare a road map for the herbal industry. Extensive study

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES IN TAMIL NADU NOW IN BACK SEAT

was carried out and a comprehensive report was prepared with tangible
recommendations. The fate of the report is not known .
Natural gas availability:
Tamil Nadu is handicapped due to the inadequate natural gas availability that
would act as feedstock for the petrochemical industry. With the availability
of natural gas from Krishna-Godavari Basin, Tamil Nadu has not received any
share of natural gas from the above project and apparently no claims have
been made by the Tamil Nadu Government.
There was a proposal made by Chennai based Chemical Industries
Association a few years back to set up Southern Natural Gas Grid and the
concept was supported by the then Tamil Nadu Government. Again nothing
has happened for this worthwhile scheme.
LNG terminal
To give impetus to growth of the petrochemical industry, there was a
proposal to set up LNG terminal near Ennore port that would facilitate the
import of natural gas. The project has not moved and one is not clear as to
whether it is still under the consideration of the Government of Tamil Nadu.
Environmental issues
One of the big problems faced by chemical industries in Tamil Nadu is lack of
site for dumping the treated solid waste discharge from the industries.
Inspite of the fact that several efforts have been made, no suitable site has
been firmly located so far by the Government of Tamil Nadu that meet the
requirement of all.
Need for forward looking strategic planning
What is obvious is that the Tamil Nadu Government has not applied its mind
to prepare a strategic time bound action plan for promoting the chemical
industries in the state. Without active support and incentives from the
government for facilitating the growth, it would not be possible for the
chemical industries in Tamil Nadu to forge ahead.
It is sad that inspite of huge potential opportunities and enthusiastic
investors and talented technologists and engineers, chemical industries in
Tamil Nadu are now drifting in vacuum. The Government of Tamil Nadu
should show initiative and move forward with imagination and understanding.
Particularly, with Central Minister of Chemicals and Petrochemicals hailing
from the Tamil Nadu, there can be no excuse for not forging ahead.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CLOSURE ORDER ON STERLITE INDUSTRIES

IS THERE NO OTHER WAY ?
The order of the Madras High Court closing down the copper smelting plant
of Sterlite Industries at Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu is one more serious set back
for the growth of the chemical and allied industries in Tamil Nadu.

A few years back, a well operated and profit making South India Viscose
Ltd., Coimbatore was forced to close down due to order of the judiciary on
environmental ground. .This unit could not overcome the shock and finally it
was wound up. In the process, Tamil Nadu lost substantial production
capacity for viscose rayon and hundreds of people lost the jobs.

The predicament faced by both Sterlite Industries and South India Viscose can
be broadly viewed as similar, since both the companies have been operated at
reasonably good standards, employing best of technologies that are globally
available . Certainly, problems faced by the units were not due to them but
inspite of their efforts. It is also necessary to remember that several of the
plants operating in similar conditions and parameters like that of South India
Viscose Ltd and Sterlite Industries are presently running in other parts of the
world.
In the case of Sterlite Industries, Madras High Court has not only ordered the
closure of the unit and censured the management of the unit and in the process,
it also squarely blamed the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board and Central
Environmental Ministry.Obviously, Madras High Court has over ruled the
environmental authority in this matter, as Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board
has no objection to the operation of Sterlite Industries in its present conditions.
Environmental Ministry of Government of India have well laid out specification
for discharge of emission from the operating plant premises. The authority like
Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board can provide environmental consent only if the
operating specification would be adhered to by the units as per the prevailing
environmental rules and regulations. One wonders whether it would be
appropriate for the court to over rule the decision of the Pollution Control Board
in such matters, as the environmental authority must have been guided by the
stipulated standards laid out in the rules.
Possibly, the Madras High Court suspects that the Pollution Control Board have
not implemented guidelines of the rules and regulations of the Government of
India in strict accordance with the laid out specifications. But, there is no
indication in the judgment and the court has not pointed out any such specific
lapses by Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board
Ordering the closure of well run chemical units on environmental ground can
always be a matter of controversy and doubtful decision , as the subject is one of

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

CLOSURE ORDER ON STERLITE INDUSTRIES - IS THERE NO OTHER WAY ?

cost benefit analysis and technological issues as well as loss of jobs and
economic loss to the state. Judiciary can ill afford to maintain a tunnel view.
In ordering the closure of the unit, obviously the Madras High Court is concerned
about the consequence of social problems. To safeguard the interests of the over
2500 direct and indirect employees, it has ordered the payment of compensation
but such compensation can be only once payment or payment for short duration
and it will not relieve the problems of the affected employees in a meaningful
way. The court has further directed District Collector to find alternative jobs for
the employees, which is unrealistic and far fetched order, that can not be
implemented by the District Collector due to various constraints.
Is there not any other way that the court can deal with the environmental issue
concerned with the Sterlite Industries? Instead of closing down the unit straight
away, which is likely to cripple the unit permanently leading to loss of production
capacity and economic loss for the state, the court could have given some time
for Sterlite Industries to solve the problems.
The court could have imposed heavy penalty on Sterlite Industries for
environmental
violation and insist that such penalty amount should be
distributed to the affected people. Finally in all such cases, where the industries
and employees suffer, the officials in the Pollution Control Board and
environmental ministry go scot free, receiving only strictures from the court,
which do not materially affect them.
Actually, the corrective measures should have been taken by the environmental
authorities long time back, if required. Have we ever heard about them being
punished or suspended ? Why has not the court asked the Pollution Control
Board and Government to pay compensation to the victims who have suffered
due to environmental hazards caused by their negligence?

APEX COURT GIVES STAY ORDER

Sterlite Industries has a smelter, refinery, phosphoric acid plant, sulphuric acid
plant and copper rod plant at the Tuticorin facility.
The copper smelter of Sterlite Industries has capacity to produce 400,000 tonnes
of copper cathodes (copper that needs to be purified further). Last year, the
company had announced a Rs 2,300-crore plan to double the capacity and put
up a 160 MW captive power plant.
Sterlite Industries claims that its Tuticorin smelter had been in operation for
more than 12 years and complied with the necessary rules and regulations. It
deployed ISA Smelt process, which is considered globally as an environmentally
advanced technology.
It is learnt that the Tuticorin District Tiny and Small Scale Industries' Association
and the Machinery Supplies Contractors' Association submitted a petition to the
District Revenue Officer, seeking the district administration's intervention in
keeping the plant operational.

INDIAN TANNING INDUSTRY AT THE CROSS ROADS

Regulatory issues such as environmental standards and lack of tax
incentives have hit the tanning industry in Tamil Nadu.

Until three or four years back, Tamil Nadu accounted for 78 percent of the
pan-India tanning industry, which is estimated to be around Rs.8000 to 9000
crore in size.
According to All India Skins and Hide Tanners Merchant Association
(AISHTMA), Tamil Nadus share in the Indian tanning industry has now come
down to 55 percent.According to industry sources, the number of units in
Dindigual has come down by 80%, while in Tiruchy it has fallen by 85
percent. Likewise, Ambur, Vaniambadi and other clusters in Tamil Nadu have
also reported closure of tanneries.
In the last three years, the number of units, mostly small and medium
enterprises (SMEs), that have closed in Tamil Nadu is huge.
According to representatives of Tamil Nadu Allied Leather Trade Industry
Association (TALTIA), only 40 tanneries are now operating at Dindigual,
compared to 214 three to four years earlier.
Similarly, in Tiruchy, the number of tanneries have come down to 9 from 63
over the same period. The other tanning hubs Ambur, Vaniambadi,
Perambur and Erode have also reported closure of a large number of
tanneries.
The average capacity of the tanneries is around 8500 sq ft a day, but in
Tamil Nadu, they are operating at only 50 percent of capacity.
There are many drawbacks in this industry it needs to upgrade technology,
it needs proper finance for high capital investment, raw material quality is
poor and its supply erratic and there are process and infrastructure
problems.
Cost factors
The cost increase is due to increase in raw material prices, as well as the
installation of effluent treatment and water recycling systems which is
required by the World Trade Organisations environmental standards. These,
have forced the SMEs to close down their units.
The cost of tanning per sq ft of leather has increased from Rs.15 to Rs.25 in
the last few months.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

INDIAN TANNING INDUSTRY AT THE CROSS ROADS

Raw hides and skins
The industry is also heavily dependent on indigenous raw hides and skins for
its supply of raw materials, whose quality and quantity are both not very
satisfactory. Imports are low despite exemption from customs duties due to
high import prices (three or four times higher than local hides) and the
absence of suitable machinery to process the imported hides and skins.
As international pressures to supply good quality leather products mount,
leather manufacturers would have to increase the use of imported hides and
skins to improve the image of Indian leather and leather products.
Export duties
The industry is lobbying for the removal of export duties on East India
leather, a type of semi processed leather.
Further delay in allowing duty free export of EI leather may lead to the
closure of more tanneries.
Although the ministry of Commerce and Industry permitted the resumption
of exports of EI leather in January 2000, the imposition of 15 percent export
duty has nearly crippled the industry.

INDIAN FERTILIZER PROJECTS FACE UNCERTAINTIES

DUE TO UNCERTAIN GAS SUPPLY
India produces around 20 million tonne of urea a year and imports 5 million
to 6 million tonne to meet demand.

Import of urea are likely to rise to 7 million tonne this year as food demand
rises and domestic urea fertiliser output remains stagnant.
Indias fertiliser imports will further go up in future, as the lack of natural
gas availability will delay plans to invest $5.9 billion in setting up new
fertilizer projects.
About 2.2 million cubic meters of natural gas is needed to produce one
million tonne urea.
Gas availability from KG-D6 block
Reliances gas discovery off Indias east coast in 2002 encouraged companies
including Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative and Rashtriya Chemicals &
Fertilisers to plan for building fertilizer plants.
Each of the six plants proposed for implementation by the fertiliser
companies would have an annual capacity of about one million tonne and
cost Rs 4,500 crore.
Reliance said on July 27 that output at the KG-D6 block in the Bay of Bengal,
the countrys largest gas field, will be below capacity while it reviews the
reservoir and safety procedures.
Reliance expects to reach capacity output at the KG-D6 field as late as 2012,
at least two years behind schedule,. Production will stay at current levels
until the reviews are complete. Additional inspections lasting six months are
needed before increasing output by 33% to 80 million cubic meters a day.
Requirement of gas to increase urea capacity
The fertiliser companies are reducing the use of naphtha, an alternative
feedstock derived from crude oil, to make urea. The cost of producing the
fertilizer with naphtha is more than with natural gas . Producing urea with
domestic natural gas costs about $220 a tonne, less than half the $500 a
tonne for using naphtha.
Using imported gas would be more expensive than domestic gas supply.
Reliances gas is sold at $4.20 per million British thermal units, while imports
from the spot market range from $5.40 to $9.40 per million Btu,.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

INDIAN FERTILIZER PROJECTS FACE UNCERTAINTIES DUE TO UNCERTAIN GAS SUPPLY

Indias fertiliser producers will need 95.52 million cubic meters of gas a day
in the year starting April 2011, compared with 72.76 million cubic meters this
year. Apart from Reliances supplies, gas is bought from Oil & Natural Gas,
and from overseas.
Allotment of gas for fertilizer production
Fertiliser producers have been allocated about 15 million cubic meters a day
of Reliances current output of 60 million cubic meters and power companies
about 31 million cubic meters. The remainder goes to industries including
chemicals, steel, liquefied petroleum gas plants and refiners.

DOW CHEMICALS INDIAN ARM FACES

BAN ON BRIBING CHARGE
The Dow scam was unearthed by the US Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) in 2007. It had also fined Dow Chemicals $325,000
for bribing the officials in India to fast-track permission to sell their
pesticide brands that are banned in the US and many other countries.

The SEC, in a `cease and desist order to Dow on February 13, 2007,
charged the company with violations under the Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act (FCPA) for letting a subsidiary use funds for illegal
activities in a foreign country.
The order was passed after Dow
voluntarily approached a commission staff, with the results of an
internal investigation of DE-Nocil.
Indian subsidiary of Dow Chemicals, Dow Agro Sciences India Ltd, is likely to be
blacklisted by the Government of India following its persistent refusal to respond
to the show-cause notices issued by the agriculture ministry. The ministry had
asked the company as to why action would not be initiated against it for bribing
officials in order to push three sub-standard pesticides in the country.
The CBI, which had investigated the case, had earlier this year held the Mumbaibased Indian arm of Dow chemicals guilty of bribing a senior Central government
employee and his aides and had recommended that the firm be black-listed. The
three pesticides were identified as Dursban 10G, Nurelle D and Pride. The
details of the bribes paid by Dow Agro-Sciences-Known earlier as DE-Nocil-have
been mentioned in the charge sheet filed by the CBI in the case.
The charge sheet was filed on the basis of information furnished by the US
authorities to the Indian government, in response to a letter rogatory, a formal
request from a court to a foreign court for judicial assistance.
The legal action comes after the letter rogatory was executed by the US
government on November 17, 2008, to elicit information regarding vouchers of
Dow Chemicals to establish payment of bribes during 1996-2001, by Dow Agro
Sciences.
The CBI team investigating the case had earlier found out that Ratan Lal Rajak, a
former plant protection advisor to the government, and his aides had been paid
$32,000 in cash and jewellery, while their travel and hotel expenses were also
picked up by Dow Agro-Sciences. The then managing director of Dow Agro, who
is a British citizen, and two firms linked with Satyabroto, Agro Pack and Crop
Health Products, were also mentioned in the charge sheet for corrupt deals.
According to the CBI charge sheet, Rajak was a member of all the three
committees of the Faridabad-based Central Insecticides Board and Registration
that granted permission for the sale of DE-Nocil products in India.

EVASION OF BIODIESEL DUTIES BY USA FIRMS

The European Commission has launched an investigation into the
possible circumvention by U.S. biodiesel suppliers of European Union
(EU) antidumping duties on biodiesel imports from the U.S.
It follows a request to the commission lodged by industry association
the European Biodiesel Board (EBB; Brussels) last June.
The European Commission imposed antidumping and countervailing
duties in March 2009 on imports of the B99 blend of biodiesel from the
U.S. The measures are in force for five years. European Biodisel Board
(EBB) alleges that since March 2009, U.S. biodiesel has been increasingly
exported to the EU via third countries, in particular Canada and
Singapore, in order to fraudulently conceal its U.S. origin.
EBB also alleges that important volumes of U.S. biodiesel are still being
exported directly to the EU in the form of blends not covered by the EU
duties, typically the B19 biodiesel blend containing less than 20%
biodiesel, EBB says. These practices do not reflect normal commercial
practice but are an attempt to evade the antidumping and countervailing
duties.
EBBs request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the
antidumping measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the U.S. are
being circumvented by means of the transhipment of biodiesel via Canada
and Singapore, and by exports of biodiesel in a blend containing by
weight 20% or less of biodiesel, allegedly taking advantage of the
biodiesel content threshold set in the description of the product
concerned.
There has been a significant increase in EU imports of biodiesel from
Canada and Singapore, and of the alternative biodiesel blends, in the past
18 months and initial evidence shows that the prices of the product
under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously
established for the product concerned, the commission says.
The commissions investigation will take up to nine months. The EU AntiFraud Office has launched a parallel investigation into the possible
circumvention of EU antidumping duties on U.S. biodiesel, EBB says.

PLANT CLOSURES
Cristal Global to close Maryland titanium dioxide plant
Cristal Global, the production arm of National Titanium Dioxide Co. (Cristal;
Yanbu, Saudi Arabia) will stop producing base pigments, including titanium
dioxide ,at its Hawkins Point plant in Baltimore, MD.
The plant has the capacity to produce about 94,000
tonnes per year of
titanium dioxide and was idled in March 2009 due to the economic downturn.
Despite recently improved demand for titanium dioxide, the long-term
outlook for the facility remains unfavorable, Cristal says. The company will
continue to study possible options for continued manufacturing activity at the
site, which include surface treatment and packaging.
Cristal Global acquired the site in 2007 when the company merged with
LyondellBasell subsidiary Millenium Inorganic Chemicals in a $1.2-billion deal.
The transaction pushed Cristal from the ninth-largest global producer at the
time into the number-two spot.
The companys global TiO production capacity is about 775,000 tonnes per
year at eight manufacturing facilities worldwide, two of which are at
Ashtabula, OH.

Asahi Kasei to exit ammonia and benzene
Asahi Kasei Chemicals (AKC), an Asahi Kasei subsidiary will permanently stop
production of ammonia and benzene, closing plants at the companys
Mizushima, Japan complex. AKC intends to procure the products entirely
from other suppliers.
The plan forms part of ongoing measures to strengthen the competitiveness
of Asahis petrochemical operations. The 320,000-tonnes per year ammonia
plant, which began operating in 1971 and the 300,000-tonnes per year
benzene plant, which began operating in 1970, will be stopped in March or
April 2012.
In-house production of ammonia and benzene has resulted in high costs due
to persistently expensive feedstock and energy prices, AKC says. The
company expects that terminating production will enable it to achieve
significant savings through more economic procurement from other suppliers.
Asahi requires ammonia and benzene at Mizushima to make products
including acrylonitrile, styrene and other derivatives

RILS CRUDE OIL OUTPUT DECLINES

Reliance Industries has seen crude oil production falling by more than 31 percent
from its MA oilfield in the predominantly gas-rich KG-D6 block off the east coast.
The reservoir is not performing as per its predictions, sources said. Production
has dropped from about 32,000 barrels per day achieved in May to around 22,000
bpd currently.
Currently, six wells are on production in MA field in the eastern offshore KG-DWN98/3 (or KG-D6) block.
RIL, which commenced commercial oil production from MA field in September
2008, had in its field development plan (FDP) envisaged a plateau oil output of
34,041 bpd in the 2nd year of production and 28,684 bpd in the 3rd year.
So far, the maximum production level of about 32,000 bpd was achieved for a few
days only during May 2010, thereafter oil production has declined gradually.
Besides crude oil, the MA oilfield produces 7 to 8 million standard cubic metre per
day of natural gas. This output together with Dhirubhai-1 and 3 gas fields, take gas
production from the KG-D6 block to around60 mmscmd.Even D1 and D3 fields
have seen a two year delay in reaching plateau output of 80 mmscmd. The fields
are now estimated to hit the peak production towards end of 2012.
The source said Reliance has been forced to cut output at MA oil fields because of
sudden rise in water and gas production from the wells meant to produce crude
oil.

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

OIL RIG EXPLODES IN GULF OF MEXICO

An oil and gas platform in the Gulf of Mexico exploded in an accident that
recalled the worst offshore oil spill in history, though there appeared to be no
injuries.
The platform is located more than 90 miles (145 km) south of Louisianas
Vermilion Bay. The platform was undergoing maintenance and was not in
active production, the U.S. Interior Department said. The plantform was
authorized to produce oil and natural gas.
The cause of the explosion was not known. The facility averaged 9.2 million
cubic feet of natural gas per day and 1,400 barrels of oil and condensate per
day during the last week of August.
Some agency reports, quoting the U.S. Coast Guard, said that a mile-long oil
sheen is spreading from the site off Louisiana. The site is west of where BPs
massive spill occurred.
All 13 crew members on the burning rig were evacuated to another offshore
platform. The fire has been contained but is not yet extinguished.

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PAGE

Series of failures led to oil spill: BP
The oil company BP said in an internal report that a sequence of failures
involving several companies eventually led to the huge oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico.
No single factor caused the Macondo well tragedy, BP said in a statement
about the report. Rather, a sequence of failures involving a number of
different parties led to the explosion and fire which killed 11 people and
caused widespread pollution in the Gulf of Mexico earlier this year.
Conducted by the companys safety chief and a team of about 50 mostly BP
employees, the BP inquiry was initiated almost immediately after the April 20
explosion that killed 11 and spilled almost five million barrels of oil into the
Gulf of Mexico.
The 193-page report cited a complex and interlinked series of mechanical
failures, human judgments, engineering design, operational implementation
and team interfaces to deflect attention away from BP and back onto its
contractors, especially Transocean, which owned the rig, and Halliburton,
which performed cement jobs on the well.
*****
BP Oil spill costs nearly $10 billion
BPs bill for containing and cleaning up the oil spill has reached nearly $10
billion, as the US government declared that the blown out well has finally
been plugged, five months after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig.
BP also said payouts to people affected by the spill such as fishermen,
hoteliers and retailers had dramatically increased, since it handed over
authority for dispensing funds to a appointee of US Government.
BP has set up a $20 billion compensation fund, which has so far paid out
19000 claims totaling more than $240 million.. BP previously paid out about
$3.5 million a day in compensation, but this has risen to $12.5 million a day.
The oil well that spewed millions of gallons of crude into the sea has been
sealed for good. The spill was halted in July with a temporary cap while a
relief well was completed. That well finally reached the main shaft on
September 16, permitting a cement plug to be pumped in.

POWER SUPPLY CUT TO 24 POLLUTING DYE FACTORIES

IN TAMIL NADU
The Tamil Nadu Electricity Board (TNEB) snapped power supply to 24
dyeing units as per the directions of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control
Board (TNPCB).
The TNPCB gave the directive after the units failed to upgrade their
common effluent treatment plant (CETP) and ensure zero discharge to
avoid polluting the water bodies in the district.
Sources said that authorities had given enough time for the dyeing
units to upgrade the common effluent treatment plant, which was
originally set up by 41 dyeing units in Telungupalayam and
Selvapuram area, a decade ago for primary and secondary treatment.
The effluents coming out of the units are entering the Ukkadam tank
through roadside gutters and stormwater drains.
The dyeing units had promised to complete the upgrading work by
March 2010 to make it a tertiary treatment plant with reverse osmosis
and reject management system facilities to ensure zero discharge and
make the water re-usable, said TNPCB.
However, it was pointed out that the upgrading required around
investment of Rs.10 crore. This was unaffordable for the small units
here that were expecting government subsidy which never came.
As many as 17 of the 41 units in fact shut shop for good, stating the
cost for upgrading was beyond their means. That left 24 dyeing units
which were trying to improve the plant and they too were unable to do
it on time.

UPDATE ON NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nano technology to detect pollution
Scientists at the 619-year-old University of Ferrara in northern Italy have
devised a nanotechnology-based biosensor, which can detect the type and
quantity of pollutants in the atmosphere.
The compact device can
selectively
detect
carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide,
various oxides of nitrogen
and ozone present in the
atmosphere, said Vincenzo
Guidi, who led a five-year
long study to develop the
gizmo.
The biosensor is only as big
as a toffee. Specially made
nano powders are printed on
sun films. For each pollutant,

a separate sensor is used. All of these are combined in a single box and can
be installed on top of buildings or in open areas.
Prof. Guidi said that the biosensors consume just 1W of power. If one installs
a photovoltaic cell, the biosensor will work on solar energy, eliminating the
need for conventional energy resources.
Nepal has installed the biosensors in the Himalayas to monitor pollution in
the worlds largest mountain system. The box relays the findings to satellites
and the data is collected via earth stations. China too has made use of the
technology devised by the Italian university.

Using carbon nanotubes to enhance solar energy
MIT chemical engineers have found that by using carbon nanotubes (hollow
tubes of carbon atoms), solar energy can be concentrated 100 times more
than a regular photo voltaic cell.
Such nanotubes could form antennas that capture and focus light energy,
potentially allowing much smaller and more powerful solar arrays.
Michael Strano, the Charles and Hilda Roddey Associate Professor of
Chemical Engineering and leader of the research team and his students claim

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

26

UPDATE ON NANOTECHNOLOGY
that their new carbon nanotube antenna or solar funnel might also be
useful for any other application that requires light to be concentrated, such
as night-vision goggles or telescopes.
Solar panels generate electricity by converting photons (packets of light
energy) into an electric current, reports Nature. Stranos nanotube antenna
boosts the number of photons that can be captured and transforms the light
into energy that can be funneled into a solar cell.
The antenna consists of a fibrous rope about 10 micrometers (millionths of a
meter) long and four micrometers thick, containing about 30 million carbon
nanotubes. Stranos team built, for the first time, a fibre made of two layers
of nanotubes with different electrical properties specifically, different
bandgaps.
In any material, electrons can exist at different energy levels. When a
photon strikes the surface, it excites an electron to a higher energy level,
which is specific to the material.
The interaction between the energized electron and the hole it leaves behind
is called an exciton and the difference in energy levels between the hole and
the electron is known as the bandgap.
The inner layer of the antenna contains nanotubes with a small bandgap and
nanotubes in the outer layer have a higher bandgap.

UPDATE ON CARBON TRADING

Carbon credits for solar units
Climate change firm Emergent Ventures International (EVI) has launched an
initiative to aggregate solar power projects and help them earn carbon
credits from the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) that aims to
reduce emissions through deployment of clean technologies.
These project developers include small entrepreneurs and corporates, who
have received licences to set up solar power projects up to 5 MW in the next
couple of years. Such projects are part of the Government's National Solar
Mission that envisages an installed capacity of 20,000 MW by 2020.
Aggregation of solar projects into one programme would significantly bring
down the costs associated with the CDM registration and auditing for the
project developers. EVI's initiative is part of Programmatic CDM' or Program
of Activities' (PoA), wherein similar projects are grouped into a single CDM
programme to reduce green house gas emissions.
The registration, auditing and consultation costs of a single CDM project
could range between Rs 20 to 50 lakh, irrespective of the size of the projects.

DEEP SEA ETHYLENE TERMINAL PROJECT OF INEOS

UK-based INEOSs plans to build and operate a deep-sea ethylene
terminal near Antwerp in Belgium.

The company plans to build and operate one million tonne

per year
ethylene terminal at its Zwijindrecht facility in Belgium, which is run by
INEOS Oxide.
The operation of the deep-sea terminal, which is expected to start in
2012, will significantly change the shape of the ethylene market in
Europe.
Deep-sea ethylene volumes are currently available out of the Middle East,
with regular volumes from Iran and considerable availability reportedly
from some of the recent start-ups in Saudi Arabia, which are awaiting
effective offtake from new downstream units.

Significant additional ethylene and polyolefins capacities are coming on

stream in the Middle East and more are expected. The product from the
Middle East is largely destined for fast-growing markets in Asia, but Europe
has for years been reckoned to be under threat from higher import volumes.
INEOS appears to be wanting to take advantage of a period of more readily
available deep-sea ethylene to put its crackers and ethylene consuming units
in Europe on a firmer footing.
The terminal will be connected to the INEOS ethylene consuming plant in the
Amsterdam-Rotterdam Antwerp (ARA) area and also to the ARG ethylene
pipeline connecting Antwerp to Cologne and the Ruhr region of Germany.
The INEOS Group is the largest consumer of ethylene in Europe. The terminal
will secure the competitiveness of the companys plants in Antwerp and
balance INEOs requirements for ethylene across Western Europe.
There are five ethylene terminals in Europe, each of which contributes in its
own way to the regions chemicals and polyolefins effectiveness. But it has
been difficult to export ethylene to Europe.
If it were to be built, the INEOS facility would be likely to have spare capacity
and possibly open up the prospect of third-party access.
It is far from certain that INEOSs requirements alone would be sufficient to
enable efficient operation of the terminal and its storage. The terminal would
help raise the competitiveness of the INEOS ethylene chain plants in Europe

and could put older, less efficient plants along the ARG pipeline under further
pressure.
INEOS will want to take full advantage of the new facility and is believed to
be in talks with specialty chemical company Arkema and energy and
chemicals company Total, both of France, about pipeline connections in that
country.
The INEOS facility would be open to third-party access and provide a
convenient buffer to help European players.

PLANS FOR LNG IMPORT

RE GASSIFICATION TERMINALS
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has dropped its
plan to open up oil refining and processing capacity for third-party access
after leading companies opposed it, but now plans to similarly open up
liquified natural gas (LNG) import and its re-gassification terminals to make
the country's hydrocarbon infrastructure free of entry barriers.

PNGRB, which will soon finalise its norms to make the petroleum infrastructure
fair and competitive, has found that it will be impractical to forcibly make
refiners open up facilities for third party access. Reliance Industries told PNGRB
that oil refining and processing should not be open up for use by other entities.
Instead, such access may be given only in facilities for storage, transportation,
distribution and marketing petroleum, its derivatives and natural gas.
The Board is now set to finalise the PNGRB (fostering fair trade and competition
against entities by sharing of infrastructure) Regulations.
The huge capital requirement and environmental constraints limit the number of
players in the infrastructure sector, giving the early birds an advantage. This
makes it essential for regulators to remove the entry barriers in the sector by
giving a chance to new players to use existing infrastructure.
Besides, the regulator also wants to open up LNG terminals for third party use, a
proposal, which has drawn protests from companies like Total Gas and Power
India SAS, a subsidiary of French energy company Total S A that that owns an
LNG import and re-gassification facility along with HPCL. Total has said that the
proposed regulation should not be applicable to infrastructure already created
because the company had no clue about such an obligation while making huge
investments in India seven years ago.
Gail (India) Ltd, which is in the business of gas and LPG transportation, has told
the regulator that LNG terminals should be opened up for other users.
The Board has also decided to drop its plan to fix a 12% return on investment for
the owner of an infrastructure facility as the fee for allowing other entities to use
it. Instead, it has now proposed a fair and reasonable incentive to be negotiated
between the user and the provider. Reliance Industries Ltd, however, has
endorsed the regulator's original plan of fixing the fee based on costs.
The regulator also has proposed to strengthen the rights of entities owning and
controlling infrastructure facilities. The draft rules had said that the owner has
the right of first use, so long as it does not come in the way of consumers
getting petroleum products and gas at competitive rates.
PNGRB has now dropped the 'consumer interest' clause with respect to the
infrastructure owner's rights and has proposed that it should be a consideration
for third party access only regarding surplus capacity.

RESEARCH EFFORTS ON GLYCERIN BASED PRODUCTS

Glycerin is a by-product of biodiesel and co-product of fatty acid
production.

In the past, glycerin has been traded as a normal chemical additive but
with the advent of biodiesel production in Europe at first, and now the
US, South America and Southeast Asia, glycerin has fallen to the lowest
prices in the history of glycerin production.
Global refined glycerin price continued to plunge after reaching a peak
of $2.205 per tonne, during the first half of 2008.
Research and development efforts for new glycerin applications is
strengthening, driven by continued low glycerin prices worldwide.
Microbial fermentation presented opportunities to use glycerin as
feedstock in the production of several novel surfactants, as well as wellestablished chemicals.

Ethanol from glycerin

Texas, US-based biochemical company Glycos Biotechnologies will soon
commercially produce crude glycerin-based ethanol, isoprene and acetone in
a 20,000 to 40,000 tonne
per year biorefinery being built in Nusajaya,
Iskandar, Malaysia. The facility is expected to be completed in early 2012.
GlycoBios technology was originally developed by researchers from Texas,
US-based Rice University. During the AOCS conference, lead researcher
Ramon Gonzalez said that GlycosBio was able to convert crude glycerin into
succinic acid, lactic acid, formic acid, 1,2 propanediol (PDO) and hydrogen
using the e.coli bacteria strain.

marketing of sophorolipids include Belgium-based Ecover, Frances Groupe
Soliance, Saraya of Japan and South Korea-based MG Intobio.
Fungicide
US-based Jeniel Biosurfactant is currently marketing rhamnolipids in a
biofungicide called ZONIX, as well as a biosurfactant called RECO for use in
cleaning and recovering oil from storage tanks.
2-Amino phenol
Procter & Gamble (P & G) has an active R & D programme for the
development of value-added uses for glycerin for several years. It claims to
be the worlds largest producer of USP-grade glycerin.
P & G also noted at the AOCS conference its development of 2-amino1propanol (2AP) via catalytic transformation of glycerin. P&G said the
process offered a route to an amino alcohol that is not readily available in the
market.
This chemistry provides a market opportunity to convert glycerin to a valueadded product, 2AP-an amino alcohol with wide-range application potential.
Glycerin based propylene glycol
US agribusiness company Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) reported a
continuing delay in the start-up of its 100,000 tonne
per year glycerinbased PG plant in Decatur, Illinois, US. The facility was originally planned to
start in December 2009. ADM said that it was working through start-up
issues and should be fully operational by the end of the year.
US chemical companies Huntsman and Dow Chemical have also announced
their intentions to make propylene glycol from glycerin, but no recent
updates were given regarding plans for this project.
Glycerin-based ECH projects
Thailand-based vinyl and chlor-alkali producer Vinythai is building a 100,000
tonne per year glycerin-based ECH project in Mab Ta Phut, which will use
Solvays Epicerol technology.
The project was first announced by Belgium-based chemical company Solvay
in 2007 and was expected to start late last year. The plant is now scheduled
to operate in the first quarter of 2012.

RESEARCH EFFORTS ON GLYCERIN BASED PRODUCTS

Solvay has already been producing glycerin-based ECH at its 20,000 tonne
per year facility in Tavaux, France, since 2007. Solvay also plans to have a
100,000 tonne per year glycerin-based ECH plant in China by 2014.
Chinese chemical company Jiangsu Yangnong Chemical is currently producing
glycerin-based ECH at two facilities, each with a capacity of 30,000 tonne
per year, both located at Yizheng in eastern Chinas Jiangsu province.
Czech epoxy resin producer Spol-chemie also intends to expand its focus on
glycerin-based ECH production with a facility planned in Malaysia. The
glycerin-to-ECH plant was expected to start up in Q3 2009, but financial
difficulties forced the company to reconsider.
Spol-chemie is currently producing glycerin-based ECH at its 15,000 tonne
per year plant in Usti nad Labem, Czech Republic.
Poland-based chemical company Zachem plans to build a glycerin-based ECH

Subtitution possibilities
Chlorosulphonic acid
In application sector where thionyl chloride is used for chlorosulphonation
purposes, it can be substituted by chlorosulphonic acid.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

40

THIONYL CHLORIDE PRODUCT PROFILE

When chlorosulphonic acid is used as chlorosulphonating agent, HCl alone is
produced as toxic gas. However, in the case of thionyl chloride, in addition to
HCl, sulphur dioxide is also produced.
Sulphuryl chloride
Sulphuryl chloride can also be used as the chlorosulphonating agent, when
sulphur dioxide gas would be produced.
Anti dumping
The Directorate General of Anti Dumping and Allied Duties of Governemnt of
India has recommended an anti dumping duty of $33 per tonne on thionyl
chloride produced by Lanxess and $84 per tonne duty for all other EU
manufacturers and exporters.
Demand scenario
Main demand driver for thionyl chloride is the growth of pesticide sector as
well as vinyl sulphone and acid chloride.
Viscose dye pigments are
frequently used by the dye industries and thionyl chloride is the precursor for
the manufacture of viscose dye pigments.

Prognosis
It is likely that additional capacities may not be created for
chlorosulphonated products in Western countries and USA in future, who may
prefer to buy the product from developing countries like India and China.
However, this would depend upon the cost competitiveness of the product
produced in countries like India and China and the freight factors vis--vis
the present level of cost factors in developed countries for the
Chlorosulphonated products.

IODOPHOR
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY IN SMALL SCALE SECTOR
Iodophor is preparation containing iodine complexed with a solubilizing agent
or any surfactant to form iodine complex.
The product can be mixed in
water. The result is a water-soluble material that releases free iodine when in
solution.
A group of iodophors have been developed and are marketed for a wide
variety of disinfectant uses. Some of these products have a built-in indicator
of disinfectant activity.
Diluted iodophor has a reddish-brown tint to it. As the solution is used up, the
normal amber (brownish-yellow) colour fades.
When the solution is
colourless, it is no longer effective.

Iodophor can be applied safely to all surfaces and are useful for disinfecting
hatchery and incubator surfaces, incubator and hatchery trays, feeders,
footwear and poultry buildings.
There are substitution possibilities for iodophor such as sodium hypochlorite
in some applications. Some of the dairy units are also using steam instead of
iodophor.
Iodophor is a good investment opportunity in the small scale sector and the
demand is likely to go up in the coming years, in view of the increasing
stress on sanitation and environmental issues in the industrial sector.
The regional demand supply scenario should guide the investment decision.

Substitution products
In the pharmaceutical sector, boron trifluoride gas/ aluminium chloride is
used as catalyst in Friedal Craft reaction etc. BF3 and aluminium chloride can
be considered as substitute for each other to some extent.
Although boron trifluoride is somewhat inferior to AlCl3 in activity, yet it is
used as a catalyst in Friedal -Craft reaction with an advantage that
by-product formation is often small.
Further, boron trifluoride forms molecular compounds which are more stable
than those of AlCl3.
Moreover, boron trifluoride is efficiently used for the condensation of those
oxygen compounds in which water, acid or alcohol is formed, viz. alcohols,
ethers, acids, esters etc.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Boron trifluoride
Boron Trifluoride is prepared by the reaction of boron containing material and
a fluorine containing substance in the presence of an acid. The traditional
raw material used are borax, fluorspar and sulphuric acid

BF3 Etherate adduct

480 grams of BF3 is required for production of one kilo gram of boron
trifluoride ethyl etherate. 230 grams of BF3 is required for production of one
kilo gram of boron trifluoride methyl etherate.
Prognosis
Boron trifluoride finds use in pharama intermediate for cephalosphorin, agro
chemical sector
as catalyst for cypermethrin and also catalyst for
polymerization,
alkylation,
isomerization,
esterification,
acylation,
sulfonation, lube oil manufacturing
Both boron trifluoride ethyl etherate and boron trifluoride methyl etherate
are used in the production of DV Acids, which are further used for the
production of synthetic pyrethroids such as cypermethrin. The demand for
boron trifluoride ethyl etherate largely depends upon the performance of the
Indian pyrethroid industry such as cypermethrin.
In recent times, the environmental constraints being applied to chemical
processing have led to the search for new catalyst to replace Friedel-Craft
and acid catalysts used in alkylation and oligomerisation. Aluminium chloride,
boron trifluoride and solid phosphoric acid, in addition to refinery alkylation
catalysts sulphuric acid, hydrofluoric acids have become targets for
replacement by more benign catalyst systems, which also offer the reduction
in manufacturing costs due to higher yields and lower disposable cost.
While BF3 would continue to remain relevant in their application areas, the
growth in demand are unlikely to be significant in the immediate future, in
view of the substitution possibilities for boron trifluoride, which is considered
to be a toxic product.

Genetically modified sugar beets - Controversy
A US federal judge has thrown out the USDAs 2005 approval of genetically
modified (GM) sugar beets, saying officials did not conduct an adequate
environmental impact assessment. The ruling is a setback for Monsanto
because growers will not be able to use GM sugar beets in the 2011 planting
season, although beets already planted can be harvested, processed and
sold.
USDA will have to conduct the required environmental assessment, which
could take more than two years but is expected to ultimately approve
planting of GM sugar beets.
GM sugar beets, which are modified to resist Monsantos Roundup glyphosate
herbicide, account for about 95% of U.S. sugar beet crops. There will be no
immediate impact on sugar crops, but it is unclear how difficult it will be for
growers to switch back to conventional sugar beet seeds in 2011.

USE OF METHANOL AS FUEL
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN CHINA
M15 methanol gasoline is named so because it contains 15% methanol
content and a certain amount of additives in gasoline. Other types include
M30 methanol gasoline and M85 methanol gasoline.
Problems in use of methanol as fuel
The problem in the use of methanol gasoline as fuel is that the blend can
erode engines and other auto parts. As the blend of methanol and gasoline
is easy to be separated with water, the use of the methanol fuel has
relatively higher requirement on the sealing of vehicle fuel tank and pipeline.
As methanol is also toxic, careless use could cause harm to human body.
Initiative in China
Shanxi province in China took the lead by starting a trial programme to
promote the use methanol gasoline, followed by Tangshan, Hebei province.
Now, Hebei province has chosen Tangshan as the trial base for methanol
fuel, while Tangshan has chosen Kailuan Group as a demonstration company
for the M15 car-use methanol gasoline.
Shandong Jinmei Mingshui Chemical Group Co., Ltd. and Shanxi Jiaxin
Energy & Chemical Industry Co., Ltd on June 27th signed agreement to jointly
build a methanol fuel blending center in Shandong province, banking on
Jiaxins technology in the field.
In addition, the Guohong Chemistry Company of Yanzhou Coal Group, which

Related lab work has been completed in China to draw up its national standards
for M15 methanol fuel. The standard, now under review and revision, is expected
to be rolled out in the first half of next year.
China in 2009 officially published the national standard for the M85 methanol
gasoline.In addition to product standards, the standards for pumping systems,

that weigh over 10 kg. Further, when cut, not a drop of juice goes waste or
trickles from the melon. The flesh is crunchy, soft and sweeter than the
earlier varieties. Globally, Camson-type hybrid watermelon variety is known
as ice box watermelon.
Though his hybrid seeds cost Rs 45,000 to 60,000 a kg, they are in demand
as the yield is far higher than the conventional varieties. Seeds of the
conventional watermelons are sold at Rs 5,000 to 8,000 a kg.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHEMICAL DRUGS AND BIOLOGICS
Since the 1970s, with the advent of recombinant DNA technology and
the development of biopharmaceuticals, a growing number of therapies
using biologics drugs have emerged.

Biologics have ushered in low-cost and better cures for many ailments,
including some life-threatening ones. But a covert threat to patient
safety looms large. The process of making biotech medicines differs
substantially from conventional chemical drugs, a fact that needs to be
factored into the process of regulation.
Courtesy: Business Line
Conventional chemical drugs and biologics have clear differences.
Chemical drugs are typically made via chemical synthesis specific chemical
ingredients being combined in a predetermined process. Biologics are made
in living systems such as micro-organisms, plants or animal cells. Unlike
chemicals, most biologics are large, complex molecules.
Since drugs generally have well defined chemical structures, these can
usually be tested in a laboratory to determine various ingredients.
It is almost impossible to characterize complex biologics through testing
methods currently available in laboratories. Some components of finished
biologics may, therefore, remain unknown. These hurdles mean
manufacturers must make certain the manufacturing process is always
substantially the same to ensure consistency, quality and purity of the
product.
Conversely, chemical drug-makers can change the manufacturing process
extensively and still produce a finished product thats the same as the
original.
This is how generics are reverse engineered without flouting
process patents.
Sensitivity of biologics process
Living systems that produce biologics are very sensitive to even minor
changes in the manufacturing process.
Minor process difference could
significantly alter the nature of the final biological product and change the
way it functions in the human body. Biologics makers, therefore, stringently
control the source and nature of the initial materials to make sure the
manufacturing process remains unchanged over time.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

63

PHARMA PAGE
Hundreds of unique process controls are used to ensure predictable
manufacturing outcomes. It is difficult, even impossible, to produce the
`same biologic drug without utilizing the in-depth knowledge and experience
of the innovators process. Besides, the immunogenicity of biologics poses
additional challenges. Immunogenicity refers to the tendency of biologic
drugs to trigger an immune response in the patients body with varying
consequences. The antibodies may neutralize the drug molecule, making it
therapeutically ineffective. Rare but serious autoimmune responses could
even be life-threatening.
Dangers of replication
Manufacturing biologics or biotech medicine is time-consuming and costintensive, particularly if patient safety is paramount. Substantial efficacy
studies and clinical trials spread over years make certain the risks to patients
are overcome or minimal. But once a biologic drug loses patent protection,
biosimilars based upon it are open to manufacture by others. Here arise the
real, unmitigated risks to patient safety and patient lives.
Although
biosimilars are generally compared to the innovators product and generics,
such comparisons are untenable, given the differences between conventional
drugs and biologics as well as between biologics and generics.
Less than 100 product quality tests are typically required for a small
molecule drug, while more than 2,000 tests come into play in the
manufacture of biologics.
According to European Medicines Agency (EMEA), biosimilars (the word
used by them) are medicines similar to but not the same as innovator
biologic drugs. Also called follow on biologics (US-FDA), biologics are not like
generic drugs, which can be analysed in a laboratory to confirm they are
exact copies of chemical drugs. Because biologics are vastly more complex
than traditional medicines, producing an exact replica of an existing biologic
is not possible. Biosimilars are therefore only marketed after the patent on
the original biologic drug expires.
Difference in the processes
Most small molecule drugs are taken orally and act by working within the
bodys cells. Biologic drugs being much larger in size, they are generally
injected and interact within the body in the bloodstream or on the surface of
cells, rather than within the cells.
The manufacturing processes for biologics and small molecule drugs differ
greatly, too. Chemical reactions are used to generally synthesise small
molecule drugs, whereas specially engineered cells are required to typically

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

PHARMA PAGE
produce biologics. Being well characterized, routing laboratory tests are
used to purify and analyse small molecules.
Biologics, especially the larger ones, are usually produced as diverse
mixtures or molecules, with only minor differences from one another, making
them difficult to characterize. The properties of biologics often directly
depend on the type of manufacturing process used.

NEW DIABETES MOLECULE GKM-001

Advinus Therapeutics, promoted by the Tata Group, has come up with a
novel molecule for the treatment of type II diabetes GKM -001.

The molecule is an activator of glucokinase; an enzyme that regulates

glucose balance and insulin secretion in the body. It is an indigenously
developed molecule and the initial clinical trials have shown good results for
both safety and efficacy.
Advinus' Discovery Research Centre team in Pune identified the molecule,
while the pre-clinical development was carried out at its Development Centre
in Bangalore. The IND (Investigational New Drug) application was filed with
the DGCI for approval to initiate clinical trials in India within 34 months of
initiation of the discovery programme. Subsequent to the approval of the
IND, Phase 1 Single Ascending Dose study has also been completed within
two months.
The Phase I data indicate that Advinus' GKM - 001 has overcome the biggest
clinical challenge of hypoglycemia. This is a major differentiator compared to
most other molecules in development.
Hypoglycemia or low levels of blood sugar, usually resulting from excessive
insulin or poor diet, is a side-effect associated with most targets.
Advinus has Composition of Matter patent on the molecule for all major
markets globally. Glucokinase as a class of target is considered to be novel ,
as currently there is no product in the market or in late clinical trials.

Quality checks hold up new drug approvals of generic firms in US
New drug approvals for Indian pharma companies seem to have slowed down
this year due to unresolved issues with USFDA ( US Food and Drug
Authority) and a huge backlog of clearances at the regulator's end.New drug
approvals, also called abbreviated new drug application (ANDA), have come
down by over 11% to 56 during the January-August period this year.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

65

PHARMA PAGE
Over the last few years, pharma companies like Ranbaxy, Sun Pharma and
Lupin have come under the FDA glare over quality compliance issues at their
manufacturing facilities.For Sun Pharma and Ranbaxy, the issues are yet to
be resolved. Problems with FDA may also have been a reason which led to
Ranbaxy getting its first ANDA approval for the year in August.
Generic companies are also becoming choosy about seeking new drug
applications as filing expenses have gone up considerably .
The USFDA is believed to be grappling with a huge backlog of patents filed by
generic companies worldwide, and approvals are taking longer than usual to
come through. Reportedly, five years ago, the USFDA typically approved a
new generic drug within 16.3 months of its filing. But by last year, with
limited staff to review an increasing number of applications, approvals for
new generic drugs were taking over 26.7 months, a FDA report recently
admitted.
However, companies like Glenmark and Aurobindo, which are not under the
FDA glare, are following an aggressive generic policy, and have bettered their
score of approvals this year. Glenmark has received 15 ANDA approvals in
the Jan-August period this year.
US offers the unique benefit of 180 days exclusivity for first ANDA filers,
apart from being the global no.1 market for innovators and generics.

New drug that kills deadly superbugs in less than 5 minutes
British scientists claim to have achieved a major breakthrough by developing
a drug which could kill deadly superbugs like C-diff and MRSA.
C-Diff or Clostridium difficile is a life-threatening bacterium that causes
diarrhoea and intestinal problems, while MRSA or Methicillin-resistant

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

Staphylococcus aureus causes a number of difficult-to-treat infections in
humans. Both are acquired by patients in hospitals.
Now, a British team has claimed that the new anti-bacterial drug, codenamed
XF-73, can eradicate the superbugs within five minutes, which means that
deadly bacteria have little chance of developing any resistance to it.
The scientists believe XF-73 could be used to prevent the spread of infection
on hospital wards within three years. During tests, carriers of superbug
bacteria had XF-73 gel placed inside their noses. The bugs were eradicated
with no side effects, and MRSA did not show any resistance to the new drug
in clinical tests even after 55 repeat exposures.

PV ENCAPSULANT WITH POLYOLEFIN FILM
GROWING DEMAND IN SOLAR POWER MARKET
Dow Chemical will begin producing polyolefin encapsulant films for
polycrystalline silicon and thin-film photovoltaic (PV) modules in the fourth
quarter of this year.
The film will initially be produced at Dows Findlay, OH facility and capacity
will be increased globally as demand increases.
The films are companys first PV encapsulant products and provide better
module protection and improved electrical performance, compared with
traditional encapsulants used in solar applications.
Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), the most widely used encapsulant resin for
solar applications, is produced by several companies, including DuPont and
Solutia. Dow says that its film has shown better performance as an
encapsulant than EVA. In the field, the olefin-based system lasts longer and
has a better moisture performance than EVA. Dows film also has a broader
temperature range, reducing cycle times for module makers by up to 30%.
Demand for the films is expected to grow rapidly given strong growth for the
solar power market as a whole.
Demand for PV modules has been growing at roughly 30% per year and is
projected to continue this growth rate for at least another 5 years. Dow
produces several other materials for the PV value chain.
Several firms have announced large investments to meet growing demand
for encapsulants.
Since the start of 2010, Solutia has announced plans to expand its Saflex
polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayer manufacturing capacity in South America,
add EVA encapsulant production at its Suzhou, China facility and bought
Etimex Solar (Dietenheim, Germany), a maker of EVA-based encapsulants,
for $325 million.
Kuraray announced in February that it had expanded PVB resin capacity by
10,000 tonnes per year to 39,000 tonnes per year, with a new production
line at Frankfurt.
Recently, Bridgestone (Tokyo) announced plans to invest 8.2 billion ($96
million) to increase its production capacity of EVA films.

COAL SHORTAGE LOOMS AHEAD IN INDIA

India is facing a major shortage of its primary fuel, coal, over the next few
years.
India could be importing as much as 226 million tonnes of coal by FY17
accounting for almost 20 per cent of the global coal trade. Indias coal demand
is expected to grow at 10 per cent over the next few years, higher than the 7.1
per cent growth expected in production.
India had about 84,000 megawatts of coal based power plants at the end of FY
10. However, another 90,000 mw of capacity is under construction, which
should be on stream by end of FY 17. These plants would require 396 million
tonnes of additional coal-almost 70 per cent of Indias current production, the
brokerage notes. Demand of coal from other sectors, such as steel and coal, is
also expected to go up sharply.
Increasing demand from India will also boost the global trade in thermal coal
which was 690 million tons in 2009.
Anticipating shortage, many Indian corporates have started acquiring coal mines
in areas such as Indonesia, Australia and even Africa. This year has seen large
corporate houses such as JSW and Essar buy up coal mines. Other major firms
such as Tata Steel, Tata Power and GMR already have coal mines overseas.
Public sector firms such as NTPC, NMDC and Coal India are also trying to buy up
coal mines outside India.
Coal India unable to meet supply targets
Supplies from Coal India Ltd fell substantially short of the targeted levels during
the first four months of this fiscal
According to a company publication, CIL had targeted to increase its supplies to
major consumer sectors (consuming over 99 per cent of the coal produced by
the company) by 15 per cent to 152 million tonne during April-July 2010, as
against 131 million tonne supplied during the corresponding period in the last
fiscal.
However, the supplies increased by a mere 2.4 per cent to 134.47 million tonnes
during the period.
The power sector being the single largest consumer - consuming 70 per cent of
the coal produced by CIL - faced the brunt of the supply shortage. According to
CIL data, as against a targeted 107 million tonne representing a 14-per-cent
increase, actual supplies to the thermal power plants during the April-June
period were 95.28 million tonne, representing a 1.5 percent increase over
the corresponding period last year.

Nandini Chemical Journal, October 2010

Sources attributed the situation to a combination of logistics issues, including

non-availability of wagons and CIL's failure to arrange road transportation
from the mines to the nearest railheads.

Bugs to reclaim rare metals from waste for clean energy
Biosciences researchers have uncovered the process that allows the common soil
bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans to recover the precious metal palladium
from industrial waste sources.
Palladium is one of the platinum group metals (PGMs) which are among the
rarest resources on earth. They possess a wide variety of applications due to
their exceptional chemical properties.
PGMs are routinely used in many catalytic systems and help cut down
greenhouse gas emissions, reports the journal Microbiology.
Kevin Deplanche from the University of Birmingham, who led the study,
explained: "These metals are a finite resource and this is reflected in their high
market value. Over the last 10 years, demand has consistently outstripped
supply and so research into alternative ways of recovering palladium from
secondary sources is paramount to ensuring future availability of this resource."
Previous work in the team's lab showed that Desulfovibrio desulfuricans was able
to reduce palladium in industrial wastes. Now, the precise molecules involved in
the reduction process have been identified.
*****
Plastic waste, tyre chips to fuel cement kilns
The Government of India proposes to make it mandatory for cement makers to
use hazardous waste that can burn such as plastic waste and tyre chips as
alternative fuel in cement kilns.
Such a move would not only help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also
avoid creation of landfills. Besides reducing the fuel costs for cement firms, it
would also help avoid investments in expensive incinerators.
Companies such as ACC, Grasim Industries Ltd, Gujarat Ambuja Cement Ltd and
Lafarge India Ltd have conducted various trials for co-processing or using
hazardous waste as alternative fuel in kilns.Wastes co-processed by these firms
include plastic waste, sludge from petrochemical or oil refinery, waste oil, paint
sludge, effluent treatment plant (ETP) sludge, and spent carbon.
In February, the Central Pollution Control Board had come out with guidelines on
co-processing for cement industry. Co-processing could be a preferred mode of
disposing hazardous waste when compared to expensive incinerators which cost
Rs 10 to 30 crore each depending on the capacity.

SOLAR POWER INDUSTRY

NEEDS HOLISTIC APPROACH
FINDINGS OF THE STUDY
Government policies such as feed-in-tariff, renewable purchase
obligation and tax rebates are essential for creating demand for solar
power in the country, global consultancy firm Ernst & Young (E&Y) says
in a recent report Conquering the Sun.
India has the potential to become a global manufacturing hub for solar power
equipment given its tropical conditions. However, the country has to adopt a
holistic approach to realise its potential.
The Government of India needs to put in place a regulatory framework and
set long-term goals on solar power usage to attract serious investors into the
sector. That would in turn help slash the cost of solar power generation,
which is currently prohibitively high.
With tariffs for solar power still a long way off grid parity, the government
has to provide incentives to help the sector take off. A long-term, consistent
policy on this is a prerequisite to attracting investors.
Besides providing policy support, the government has to formulate policy to
improve domestic availability of key inputs like polysilicon and cell for solar
power project developers.
Bottlenecks in the availability of skilled manpower is another issue that
beckons a solution.
Promoting the usage of solar power is a credible option for India to reduce its
carbon footprint.

Hindustan Tin launches Canvironment'
In a unique global environment initiative, can makers and major brand
owners have come together to launch a can recycling movement called
Canvironment' between November 10 and 17 to focus attention on the need
to recycle can and save the environment.
Hindustan Tin Works (HTW) has taken up the initiative in partnership with
Indian and global FMCG companies that uses cans. Cans are being used as
packaging material for a host of products of daily use such as milk, soft
drinks, beer, shoe polish, etc.
As part of the Canvironment', HTW will buy insurance cover worth Rs 2 crore
for 200 ragpickers, an important collection agent of cans for recycling.
An Incept transport study in the UK shows that cans offer the lowest carbon
emissions for shipping beverages on average 57 per cent lower than other
packs because of its light weight. Can-packed material does not need cold
storage and, thus, helps save 70 per cent of energy as compared to frozen
foods.
Researchers have demonstrated that recycling of one tonne of steel from
cans can save 1.5 tonnes of iron ore, half a tonne of coking coal, 1.3 tonnes
of mining wastes and 1,800 kg of Co2 emission. One study shows that
recycling of one kg of steel saves enough power to keep a 100 W bulb aglow
for 30 hours.
Similarly, recycling of a kg of aluminium saves six kg of bauxite, 4 kg of
chemical products and 14 kWh of power.

New likely US regulation on benzene content in gasoline
New US regulation will be introduced in 2011 that will limit the use of the
carcinogenic chemical in gasoline.
Effective January 1, 2011, major US refiners will be allowed only a 0.62%
annual average of benzene content in their systemwide gasoline pool under
the Mobile Source Air Toxics (MSAT) II regulations set by the US
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Smaller refiners are being given
more time to meet the MSAT requirement - by January 1, 2015.
The new regulation represents a near 50% cut in the current 1.3% benzene
content of reformulated gasoline or what is commonly known as E-10 - a
motor fuel with 10% ethanol content.
