Sadhana Nitro Chem embarks on green production of pAP

TAGS

Mumbai-based Ltd. (SNCL) has announced its transition to commercial production at its newly-established (pAP) plant. Remarkably, the facility ranks as the world’s second to derive pAP from Nitrobenzene—a sustainable method aligned with green chemistry principles. This contrasts with the conventional Para Nitro Chloro Benzene (PNCB) approach, which produces considerable effluent and harmful contaminants.

Benefits of Nitrobenzene Over PNCB in pAP Production

Opting for Nitrobenzene over PNCB in producing pAP promises zero effluent discharge, underlining Sadhana Nitro Chem’s commitment to environmentally-friendly manufacturing practices. The Nitrobenzene method also ensures that no chlorine-based ingredients are used, notably eliminating the presence of contaminants such as Para Chloro Aniline (PCA)—a substance increasingly under scrutiny due to its harmful effects.

Operational Journey of the pAP Plant

Despite initial projections for the plant’s launch in March 2022, regulatory challenges led to a delay. The plant eventually commenced operations in June 2022 in a batch mode. Transitioning from batch to continuous production necessitated meticulous modifications, spanning six months, before Sadhana Nitro Chem stabilized the plant to meet its targeted throughput and quality benchmarks. With a focus on quality, the company spent an additional four months refining product specifications to cater to international clientele.

Abhishek Javeri’s Perspective

We anticipate our future scaling endeavors to be more efficient in terms of time, space, and expenditure.”
