Polytechnic College

The term polytechnic comes from the Greek word meaning many and tekhnikós meaning arts. In short, Polytechnic means an institute that offers a variety of professional courses, which is mainly technical and vocational in nature. There are various types of polytechnics in India - government owned polytechnics, private polytechnics, women's polytechnic and likewise. Subjects taught in these polytechnics are numerous and include- mass communication, fashion designing, automobile engineering, chemical engineering, interior decoration, computer engineering, civil, electrical etc. These polytechnics may be offering these courses on a part time or full time basis and there may be diploma courses as well as full-time courses.

The women polytechnics lay stress on all types of courses in general and women-oriented courses in particular. Women-oriented courses will enable women to become independent and begin their career. Some women oriented courses include cookery, sewing, house-decorations, etc.

HDPE/PP Woven Sacks                                                                              

Woven fabric is a textile formed by weaving. It is produced on a loom, and made of many threads woven on a warp and a weft. Woven polypropylene/HDPE bags or simply woven PP/HDPE bags are considered to be the toughest packaging bags, widely used to pack materials for grain, milling and sugar industry. They are non toxic. Lighter in weight & have more advantages than conventional bags. HDPE woven sacks are much stronger & can withstand much higher impact loads because of HDPE strips elongation at break is about 15-25% as compared to 30% of Jute.

The major users of HDPE/PP woven sacks are fertilizer, sugar, cattle feed, cement & other chemical Industries. Fabric from HDPE strips is also ideal for the manufacture of shopping bags, sport hold-all, deck chairs, books binding Cinema screen wall facing & carpet backing etc.

The current demand of woven sacks in North Eastern Region is estimated to be in the range of 600 - 650 MTPM of which only 60 - 70% of the requirement is fulfilled by local industries, Cement, Fertilizer and Flour Mills are major woven sacks consuming sectors in North-Eastern Region. The only fertilizer complex (urea based) of NER is located in Assam with installed capacity of 0.5 MMTPA, and has reported a production growth of 12% in the past five years. Apart from urea complex, there are 9 bio-fertilizer units in the region with a total installed capacity of 1115 MTPA. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Fractional Distillation Unit

(for Lemongrass, Palmarosa and Citronella)

Fractional distillation is the separation of a mixture into its component parts, or fractions, such as in separating chemical compounds by their boiling point by heating them to a temperature at which one or more fractions of the compound will vaporize.

Production of essential oils has been developing into a very profitable agro industry during the last few years. It has provided diversification in the agricultural sector and is gaining popularity on the rural front also. Due to the availability of essential oils more freely in the market, not only their direct uses as attars, floral and aromatic waters, perfumery grade alcohol and in flavour encapsulation, but also the end uses have been widening. Accordingly, the essential oils are today used in soaps, perfumery, cosmetics, agarbathis, disinfectants, deodorants, mosquito repellents, flavouring of foods and pharmaceuticals and a range of allied products.

The essential oil industry in India has witnessed a remarkable growth since the early 70’s. From a production of around 50 tpa in 1973, the industry has registered a ten-fold increase in production and the current production is about 700 tpa. In India, Essential oils are used in perfume and cosmetics industry, flavor industry and pharmaceutical industry. There is good demand from USA, UK, France, Germany and also far eastern The growth rates normally are of 9% and 25% for domestic and export market respectively. The demand supply gap is about 8000 tonnes. As a whole it is a good project for entrepreneurs for investment.

Lead Recycling (Smelting & Refining)

          Lead acid batteries are rechargeable batteries made of lead plates situated in a ‘bath’ of sulfuric acid within a plastic casing. They are used in every country in world, and can commonly be recognized as “car batteries”. The batteries can be charged many times, but after numerous cycles of recharging, lead plates eventually deteriorate causing the battery to lose its ability to hold stored energy for any period of time.Primary aim of smelting process is to recover Lead metal from raw materials such as Lead Paste & Lead Metallic separated from the scrap Batteries and other Lead bearing materials.

          Refining process involves purifying of Crude Lead produced in the Smelting Section. When Lead is reduced/recovered from raw materials a large number of other Metals also get co – reduced and are tapped from Furnace along with Lead as impurities.

Major lead consuming countries are China, the USA, Germany, South Korea and Italy. The demand for lead in India witnessed a quantum jump in the post-liberalisation period. With supplies remaining limited, imports gained momentum. The domestic producers are gearing to expand capacities by putting up new smelters. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Linear Alkylbenzene (LAB)

          Linear alkylbenzene is a family of organic compounds with the formula C6H5CnH2n+1. Typically, n lies between 10 and 16, although generally supplied as a tighter cut, such as C12-C15, C12-C13 and C10-C13, for detergent use. The CnH2n+1 chain is unbranched. They are sometimes called LABs. They are mainly produced as intermediate in the production of surfactants, for use in detergent.

          Since the 1960s, LABs have emerged as the dominant precursor of biodegradable detergents. Virtually all linear alkylbenzene (LAB), also known as detergent alkylate, is converted to linear alkylbenzene sulfate (LAS), which is used almost exclusively as a surfactant in detergents and cleaning products. This compound is widely used in a variety of cleaning products used in household applications or in industrial settings because it is versatile and relatively inexpensive.

          The demand of Linear Alkyl Benzene (LAB) is quite captive with almost 95% of the LAB produced being consumed in the manufacturing of synthetic detergents. The remaining 5% is used for other products like liquid detergents, pesticides and paint. Besides LAB accounts for 45% of the cost of synthetic detergents.

          In the Indian LAB market, there are four major producers of LAB in India, namely Reliance group, Indian Oil Corporation, Tamil Nadu Petro Products and Nirma. India is reeling under over supply of LAB, as the domestic demand is comparatively lower than the domestic capacity and production. The total domestic demand is estimated at around 300000 TPA, while the capacity is close to 500000 TPA. The players are exporting their surplus to ensure higher capacity utilization. Any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.

MS Tubes and Pipes (ERW and HFIW)

Steel pipes are primarily of two types, seamless and welded. Other specific types extend the basic classification to include: (a) cast iron pipes, (b) stainless steel tubes, (c) ERW (electric resistance welding) steel pipes, (d) galvanised pipes, (e) API pipes, (f) SAW (submerged arc welded) pipes, and (g) spun pipes.

High frequency induction welding is often used as a solid–state process for the welding of Steel. The process results in high productivity, can easily be adapted to manufacture pipes with deferent dimensions, and does not require welding consumables. Resistance welding involves the generation of heat by passing current through the resistance caused by the contact between two or more metal surfaces. Small pools of molten metal are formed at the weld area as high current (1000–100,000 A) is passed through the metal.

The global export market of the steel pipes is stated to be close to USD 27 bn a year with the US, Western Europe, Australia, and Japan being the biggest importers. India is one of the major exporting nations along with Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand. The Indian Seamless Metal Tubes Limited (ISMT) had started with an installed capacity of 15,000 metric tonne per annum. ISMT commenced production with the installation and commissioning of an Assel mill in technical collaboration with Mannesman Demag of Germany. Subsequently in 1990 the production capacity was raised to 50,000 metric tonne per annum with the addition of a second Assel mill. There are good domestic and export potentiality for this product. So any new entrants can venture in to this industry.

Ethanol from Molasses (with Spent Wash Treatment)

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, drinking alcohol or grain alcohol, is a flammable, colorless, mildly toxic chemical compound, and is best known as the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol. Its molecular formula is variously represented as EtOH, CH3CH2OH and C2H5OH or as its empirical formula C2H6O (which it shares with dimethyl ether).Ethanol can be prepared by the fermentation of molasses. Molasses is the mother liquor left after the crystallization of sugarcane juice. It is a dark coloured viscous liquid. Molasses contains about 45-50% fermentable sugar.

The demand for ethanol has been continually increasing on account of the growth of user industries and use of ethanol as a fuel in the country. However, the production and availability of ethanol has largely lagged behind. India is the fourth largest producer of ethanol in the world after Brazil, the United States of America (USA) and China, producing approximately 2000 million litres of ethanol, mainly by fermentation of sugarcane molasses. Ethanol is made by fermentation of sugars: enzymes from yeast change simple sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Potable ethanol and more than half of industrial ethanol is made by this process. As a whole Ethanol from Molasses is one of the project which has good prospect for the entrepreneurs to invest.

Cast Aluminium Strips and Ingots

Aluminium is a chemical element. It is a silvery white, soft, ductile metal. Aluminium is the third most abundant element (after oxygen and silicon), and the most abundant metal, in the Earth's crust. It makes up about 8% by weight of the Earth's solid surface.Aluminium is theoretically 100% recyclable without any loss of its natural qualities. According to the International Resource Panel's Metal Stocks in Society report, the global per capita stock of aluminium in use in society (i.e. in cars, buildings, electronics etc.) is 80 kg.Aluminium strips are widely used as a separate material for construction, mounting and finishing operations or as a component for the production of other finishing materials. A constant increase in output and a stable growth in sales are due to high quality and a constant growth in the demand for this kind of product. Ingot and billet play an integral part in the production of many aluminium products. Plate, sheet, foil, wire, rod, and bar products are all produced by pressing or rolling ingot and billet. Ingot and billet are cast from molten aluminium.

The per capita consumption of aluminium in India continues to remain abysmally low at under 1 kg as against nearly 25 to 30 kg in the US and Europe, 15 kg in Japan, 10 kg in Taiwan and 3 kg in China. Due to demand growth, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

E–Waste Recycling Plant

Electronic wastes, "e-waste", "e-scrap", or "Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") is a description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices. Technically, electronic "waste" is the component which is dumped or disposed or discarded rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations. Because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable), several public policy advocates apply the term "e-waste" broadly to all surplus electronics.

E-Waste Recycling Technology Used in India: Decontamination, Dismantling, Pulverization/ Hammering, Shredding, Density separation using water, E-waste trade value chain, Environmentally Sound E-waste Treatment Technology, CRT treatment technology.

WEEE has been identified as one of the fastest growing sources of waste in the India, and is estimated to be increasing by 16-28 per cent every five years. Within each sector a complex set of heterogeneous secondary wastes is created. Although treatment requirements are complicated, the sources from any one sector possess many common characteristics. However, there exist huge variations in the nature of electronic wastes between sectors, and treatment regimes appropriate for one cannot be readily transferred to another. New entrepreneurs can well venture in this sector.

Rock Sand

Natural or River sand are weathered and worn out particles of rocks and are of various grades or sizes depending upon the amount of wearing. Now-a-days good sand is not readily available; it is transported from a long distance. Those resources are also exhausting very rapidly. The artificial sand produced by proper machines can be a better substitute to river sand. The sand must be of proper gradation. The sand should be sharp, clean and course. The grains should be of durable material. The grain sizes must be such that it should give minimum voids.

There is standard specification for Fine aggregates (Sand). It is divided in four gradations. Generally known as Zone I, Zone II, Zone III and Zone IV. There is sieve Designation for each grade. There are testing sieves for testing the sand. A set of Sieves with square hole is available. Followings are the sieves 4.75 mm,2.365,1.1830,600 microns,300 microns,150 microns pan Specific percentage are designated for each size for each Zone sand in terms of material retained or passed 'from the sieves.

The Indian economy has witnessed considerable progress in the past few decades. Most of the infrastructure development sectors moved forward, but not to the required extent of increasing growth rate up to the tune of 8 to 10 per cent. The Planning Commission has estimated that investment requirement in infrastructure to the tune of about INR14,50,000 crore or US$320 billion during the 11th Five Year Plan period. The infrastructure, industrial and commercial construction markets collectively accounted for 74.2% of the total Indian construction industry in 2012. Consequently, the contribution of these three markets will be significant to the overall Indian construction industry growth over the forecast period. The Indian construction industry’s output is expected to record a CAGR of 15.45% over the forecast period.Any new entrant can successfully venture in to this field.

I.M.F.L. Bottling Plant

The history of distilled spirit goes back into antiquity. Science have unearthed pottery in Mesopotamia depicting fermentation scenes dating back to 4200 B.C. a small wooden model of a brewery from about 2000 B.C. is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York city & Aristotle mentions a wine which produces a spirit. Alcoholic and non-Alcoholic beverages are directly consumed in hotels, bars, restaurants, and other places. These are consumed in every season, and every day. People become happy and cheerful after drinking the beverages. The word wine was possibly first applied to the fermentation product of the sugars in the juice of grapes; this is its primary meaning.

Indian whiskies account for 98% of domestic whisky consumption, registering over10% growth annually, which makes it one among the fastest growing whisky markets anywhere in the world. The Indian consumer has, however, shown marked preference for India-made whisky which accounts for a dominant share. This is, perhaps, due primarily to price differentials. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Water Based Cement Primer

Any successful project-from constructing a building to painting one-starts with a solid foundation. That’s what paint primer offers: a solid foundation. A good primer will do a number of things: promote adhesion, enhance the hiding power of the top coat and in some instances, prevent stains or odours from making their way back to surface. One of the most important properties that paint primers offer is adhesion. Without proper adhesion, the paint will peel and the surface will have to be prepped and recoated all over again. Primers are usually pigmented and have a middle range PVC (pigment volume concentration) around 35-45%. This allows them to have spare binder resin (left over from pigment holding together duties) for adhesion to substrate purposes.

The paints industry in India has been growing at the rate of around 12% a year. The paints market has crossed the Rs 135 bn mark. By volume, the market is estimated at 1.4 mn tonne which is growing at an average annual growth of over 6 to 8% (against 12% by value). The unorganized sector, while having shrunk in the recent years, still commands a share of around 46% by volume and 35% by value. The demand for decorative paints is correlated with growth in housing and construction sectors, while a substantial quantity is used also for applying paints to the existing building. In India, the market for industrial paints (30% of the overall market) is growing faster than that for decorative paints. Entrepreneurs interested can well venture in this sector.

Tempering & Toughening of Flat Glass

Tempered glass is made from normal annealed glass via a thermal tempering process in which the glass is subjected to heat till its softening point and then rapidly cooled. This increases the strength of the glass. A fully tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than an annealed glass of similar thickness. A fully tempered glass is regarded as a safety glass and when it breaks it disintegrates into small blunt pieces which greatly reduce the chances of injuries and if there are any then they are superficial in nature. Toughened or tempered glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal glass. Tempering creates balanced internal stresses when broken which cause the glass, to crumble into small granular chunks instead of splintering into jagged shards. The granular chunks are less likely to cause injury.

Toughened glass is a type of soda-lime-silica glass with a sheet thickness 4-12 mm. The sheet has a central tensile stress of 500-1200 kg/cm2 and a ratio of surface compressive stress to central tensile stress of 2:1 to 4:1. The article is toughened by heat exchange with an oil (or chilled air) in which these are maintained from 0.01–0.07% liquid. The boiling point liquid may be an organic liquid such as carbon tetrachloride, methanol, benzene, toluene, trimethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or Xylene etc.

The industry is growing at around 8% per annum. Consumption per capita of glass in India is only about 0.8 kg compared to 3.5 kg in China, 5.2 kg in Thailand, 12 kg in Malaysia and 2.5 kg in Indonesia. The total organised producers in the glass market have a turnover estimated at over Rs 40 bn, represented by a fairly large number of suppliers. The major players including Gujarat Guardian, Indo Asahi, Triveni Glass, Gujarat Borosil and Float Glass India have been accumulating heavy losses. Some units were at the verge of turning sick. India exports about 13,000 tonne of glass per month to the Middle East, African countries, Europe and South America. The rapid increase in the demand for flat glass in the domestic market has resulted in a cutback in exports by as much as 60% in the last couple of years.

Carbide Tips Inserts and Indexiable

Tungsten carbide is a compound of Tungsten and carbon. Tungsten carbide is an inorganic chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. In its most basic form, tungsten carbide is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, cutting tools, abrasives, armor-piercing rounds, other tools and instruments, and jewellery. Tungsten carbide is approximately two times stiffer than steel and is much denser than steel ortitanium. It is comparable with corundum (α-Al2O3) or sapphire/ruby in hardness and can only be polished and finished with abrasives of superior hardness such as cubic boron nitride and diamond, in the form of powder, wheels, and compounds.

The coated carbides and cermets coupled with high performance chip groove geometries due to their versatility are suitable for bulk of metal cutting operations. The new cutting tool materials ceramics is gaining popularity due to its avidity for high speed machining.

The domestic supplies constituted around 27%. Major destination of Indian machine tools is the USA, UAE and Germany. Major players in the machine tools segment are Kennametal India, ACE Designers, HMT Machine Tools, Lakshmi Machine Works, Kabra Extrusiontechnik, Bosch, Sandvik Asia and several others. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Maize Starch and its by Products

Maize is one of the cereal grains which produces throughout India and is placed 3rd position in agricultural base production. Maize is constituted by hull, germ, protein, starch and moisture. There is dry and wet milling process of manufacturing of starch, zein, germ and hulls. Starch is the basic constituent of maize and it is converted to liquid glucose by adopting series of digestion steps on starch. It will be basically enzyme and acid digestion system. Pure Starches can be physically modified into various products of varied characteristics. Starch can be potentially used in large number of preparations. Its major applications are in textiles and paper manufacture and in food and pharmaceutical industries. Starch is used in the manufacture of number of products such as starch esters, starch phosphates, glucose, dextrose, sorbitol, ethyl alcohol etc.

India is estimated to generate an annual demand of nearly 23 million tonne of corn by 2011-12. According to Vision 2025, released on Thursday by Indian Maize Development Association (IMDA), India's demand for maize is likely to be 22.73 million tonnes in 2011-12, out of which 19.66 million tonnes would be for non-food uses like poultry and cattle feed. However the demand supply gap for starch was so wide during those days, that almost about 45 new units came up with a large installed capacity. Many of these were very small units. The demand of starch and its allied products is increasing day by day in various segments, so for new entrepreneurs there is a good scope in this field.

 

PET Bottle Recycling

Polyethylene terephthalate or PET (also known as PETE) is one of the most common types of plastic.  Most single-serve plastic bottles, including those for water, soft drinks and juices, are made with PET. Designated by the recycling code “1”. Being extremely light, PET bottles help to reduce the emission of contaminants during their transport. Since they require less fuel during transport, they also help saving energy. PET is globally recognized as a safe, recyclable packaging material. PET is the main constituent in a variety of consumer and industrial products including plastic fibers, videotape, audiotape, film, engineered resin, food containers.

PET recycling is the process of reprocessing plastic that already has been used before and giving it some new reusable form. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. Typically a plastic is not recycled into the same type of plastic, and products made from recycled plastics are often not recyclable.Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

 

Fruit Juice (in Aseptic Packaging)

Consumers always prefer food material free from any chemical preservative or additive. This is especially true in case of food products like fruit juice which are expected to be additive free and close to natural characteristics. From a limited survey in the local market, it was observed that many additives including preservatives and colour being used. These additives many times would mar the natural quality of juice mainly the taste and appearance. This observation prompted to develop a process in which use of any additive was completely eliminated, while at the same time retaining the colour and other attributes in their original form to the maximum possible extent. Fruit juices/drinks are recommended by physicians and taken to quence thirst and convey nourishment to the blood. Moreover a glass of fruit juice is an excellent way starts the morning meal with people of all ages. Food by its nature starts getting spoiled the moment it is prepared.

Food preservation enables us to make use of prepared food to be used, at a later date. Each culture preserves their local food sources using the same basis principles and methods of food preservation.  Tetra Pak aseptic cartons are made of three basic materials that together result in a very efficient, safe and light-weight package. Each material provides a specific function. Fruit Juice with aseptic packaging have a great demand and supply serving a large group of customers including people of all ages. Thus, Fruit Juice with aseptic packaging  is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

 

Stevia Extract

 

Sweeteners are widely used both by consumers and by the food and beverage industry. Consumers use them as an ingredient in various food items and also as a means for customizing the sweetness of beverages, fruit, yogurt, and the like. The food and beverage industry uses such sweeteners in prepared beverages and other food items. Such sweeteners include both caloric and low-caloric sweeteners. Caloric sweeteners include sucrose, fructose, and glucose. Recently, low-calorie (or non-calorie) sweeteners have gained increased popularity.

Stevia is a small shrub native to the region of South America where the borders of Paraguay, Argentina, and Brazil meet. The scientific name for stevia is Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and it is a member of the largest family of plants, Asteraceae which is also called the “sunflower family”. There are 240 close relatives of stevia and they are all herbs or shrubs originating from the tropical and semi-tropical areas of North, Central and South America. The sweetness found in the stevia plant is released by steeping its dried leaves in water, filtering and separating the liquid from the leaves and stems, and further purifying the plant extract with either water or food grade alcohol – all conventional plant extraction methods. The result is a naturally sourced, high intensity sweetener that does not impact blood glucose levels. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

Banana Powder

Banana is the common name for a type of fruit and also the herbaceous plants of the genus Musa. Banana is amongst the most versatile and most widely eaten fruits in the world today. Bananas come in a variety of sizes and colors when ripe, including yellow, purple, and red. Bananas can be eaten raw though some varieties are generally cooked first. Banana has various uses that can be turned into many processed products. In addition to banana exporting, processing banana into different products could mean additional income for banana farmers.

Banana powder has a great potential for commercialization. It has a high sugar and low starch content and can be used as a substitute for fresh banana in making traditional cakes or their premixes as well as in the processing of banana snacks, crackers or crisps. The quality of banana powder is determined by the color, flavor, texture and moisture content. These are affected by the varieties of bananas and processing operations specially blanching process.

India ranks first in world production of fruits and ranks first in mango and banana with more than 40% and 20% production respectively. After China, India is second largest producer of vegetables and accounts for 15 % of World production of vegetables. Almost all varieties of vegetables are grown in India.The Indian food industry is estimated to be worth over US$ 200 billion and is expected to grow to US$ 310 billion. By 2015 India is one of the world’s major food producers but accounts for only 1.7 per cent (valued at US$ 7.5 billion) of world trade in this sector – this share is slated to increase to 3 per cent (US$ 20 billion) by 2015. New entrepreneurs can well venture in this sector.

Adhesives (Fevicol Type)

Fevicol type adhesives come under the category of synthetic resins and latex adhesives are made from polyvinyl acetate is a thermoplastic, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic, essentially clear and colourless resin. It has a non-crystalline and relatively branched rather than linear structure. The adhesive industry is currently the most important outlet for polyvinyl acetate. Polyvinyl acetate came into widespread use in 1940's as a synthetic resin substitute for hide glue. Adhesives are made in various types and may be synthetic or natural. The term synthetic adhesive means the adhesive which is prepared by using synthetic chemicals such as synthetic resin. The manufacture of adhesive from synthetic resin is simple and can be started with a very little investment. The most advantageous factor in this plant is that it can be switched over to any type of adhesive as per market demand.

The market size of all types of adhesives is very large and growing. Of this, the premium products account for some 45%. Quantitatively, the overall market size is growing annually at 11%. Pidilite Industries is the largest adhesive manufacturer in India, with its most famous product being Fevicol. It is the market leader in adhesives and sealants, construction chemicals, hobby colours and polymer emulsions in India.

As a whole Adhesive is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

The polyvinyl chloride (PVC) goods market may have a sigh of relief, with a fall in demand and the consequent fall in prices recently. Also, prices of leather goods such as upholstery, shoe, luggage, diaries, belts, jean labels and sports goods are likely to become a tad expensive due to the finance ministry’s decision to impose anti-dumping duty on imports of PVC flex films from China. Industry sources said imports of raw material PVC, a polymer variant, were free and demand for PVC flex goods was huge. The Indian Printing Industry is well established and presently growing at 12% per annum. According to NPES/ PRIMIR report, India is the world’s fastest growing market with a projected 73% rate of growth from 2006-11. Not only India is growing extremely fast but also it is doing so from a very large base. Today, India’s printing market is about US$ 12.1 billion and is forecast to grow more than US$ 20.9 billion in coming years. Due to multi applications, demand of PVC Flex Banner is increasing day to day. It is advisable for new entrepreneurs to venture in to this field.

 

 

Blended Alcohol with Bottling Line  (Molasses Based)

The production of alcohol is based upon fermentation, the natural process of decomposition of organic materials containing carbohydrates. It occurs in nature whenever the two necessary ingredients, carbohydrate and yeast, are available. Yeast is a vegetative microorganism that lives and multiplies in media containing carbohydrates. Distilled spirits are all alcoholic beverages in which the concentration of ethyl alcohol has been increased above that of the original fermented mixture by a method called distillation. Drinking alcohol or grain alcohol, is a flammable, colorless, mildly toxic chemical compound, and is best known as the alcohol found in alcoholic beverages. In common usage, it is often referred to simply as alcohol. Blending is another method of obtaining a balanced product with precise flavour characteristics. Blended products are composed of one or more highly flavoured components, a high-proof component with a low congener content, a colour adjustment ingredient, and perhaps an additional flavouring material. Distilled spirits react upon exposure to many substances, extracting materials from the container that tend to destroy the liquor aroma and flavour. For this reason, glass, being nonreactive, has been the universal container for packaging alcoholic liquors.

The Indian market for alcohol — mostly spirits and beer, as well as wine — totaled $14 billion last year, and was one of the fastest-growing alcohol markets in the world. Imports account for only a tiny fraction of that, but with India booming while demand elsewhere stalls, no international beverage company can afford to ignore it. Over the next five years, the Indian market for alcohol is projected to grow at 10% a year — more than in China, the U.S. and Europe combined, according to an estimate by KPMG India. "You've got a sizable population, a growing middle class, a growing economy," says Nigel Fairbrass, a spokesman for SAB Miller, one of the world's largest brewers. "All of that is driving increasing consumption of alcohol products."

Depolymerisation of Waste PET Scrap

Poly (ethylene terephthalate), more commonly known as PET in the packaging industry, is an indispensable material with immense applications owing to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Due to its increasing consumption and non-biodegradability, PET waste disposal has created serious environmental and economic concerns. Management of PET waste has become an important social issue.A driving force for PET recycling is that PET products have a slow rate of natural decomposition. PET is a non-degradable plastic in normal conditions as there is no known organism that can consume its relatively large molecules. Complicated and expensive procedures need to be operated in order for PET to degrade biologically. With an abundance of bottles, recycler capacity, and potential end uses, the key to successful recycling of PET plastics lies with consumers throughout the world. Only they can properly identify post-consumer containers and initiate the collection process.

The current demand for PTA in India is approximately 500 thousand tons. Its main applications are textiles, polyethylene terephthalate bottles and film. Future growth is predicted to be extremely high, with demand increasing by approximately 20% per year.

The textile and garment industry consumes a large proportion of global PTA output. China is the most important import market for PTA due to its huge polyester capacity, over half of the world’s total. It fluctuates in line with the change in PTA futures pricing traded on the commodities exchange, which in turn takes its cue from crude futures prices, equity markets, economy and financial policies and the world’s economic and political environment. PTA Supplies have generally been tight in recent years and are expected to remain snug due to fast growing polyester expansion. Thus, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest.
