R & D Centre
- Established in 1973 and located in 20 acres of sprawling green lawns at Nandesari, Baroda, only 45 minutes by air from Mumbai, our R&D Centre has contributed immensely to Terpene chemistry having developed several new products for the first time in the world.
- It has a total working area of 3750 sqm and contains 8 chemistry laboratories, a small cosmetic laboratory, a perfumery section and an analytical laboratory covering 1160 sqm. In addition there are facilities such as a library, seminar room, and administrative sections.
- There is a separate laboratory for high-pressure reactions, which is fitted with autoclaves of different sizes and specifications. A scale-up laboratory, fully equipped for carrying out a variety of organic reactions on a kilogram scale, serves to produce potentially useful products in kilogram quantities for market evaluation. This proves to be an important link between laboratory research and possible commercial production.
- The kilogram laboratory also generates chemical engineering data for further scale-up that is currently being carried out in our Pilot Plant.
- These additional facilities greatly enlarge the scope of the Research Centre and make it possible to pursue work more vigorously on a broader front.
- Our Research Centre enjoys the reputation of being recognized by top universities in Gujarat, as well as by the Department of Science & Technology of the Government of India, and has to its credit many postgraduate research students and scientists.
- We have had the distinction of commercialising processes particularly for medium-sized plants. Our technology is known to have suited differing industrial environments – equally applicable in industrially advanced and less advanced countries. Thus, our expertise is comprehensive – from preparation of feasibility reports, to process packages, basic and detailed engineering to international standards.
- Having successfully developed our own expertise for in-house research, we are now exploring new frontiers and are currently updating our equipment and facilities to ensure we are globally competitive and in line with international standards. Our aim is to focus purely on contract research with Multi-National Companies.
- We are well poised to undertake contract research for multiple step synthesis of organic molecules, process development from laboratory to the pilot plant, and process evaluation. Complete confidentiality is assured. If you are considering contract research, please email us or write directly to the address provided below.
Manufacturing PlantsManufacturing Plant - Bareilly, U.P.
- We are pioneers in the field of Terpene chemistry in India since 1964, having established the first Synthetic Camphor plant with technology from DuPont of USA.
- The plant is located at Bareilly in West Uttar Pradesh, 250 km from New Delhi. It handles a volume of 20,000 tons of raw materials and finished products annually and incorporates the latest technology and equipment.
- We carry out all conceivable chemical operations such as fractionation, esterification, saponification, hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, peroxidation, pyrolysis, etc. in the plant using equipment and technology that is constantly updated with time to keep pace with the latest advancements in chemistry and chemical engineering practices.
- Our vast product range includes Synthetic Camphor (all grades), Terpineols, Pine Oils, Isobornyl Acetate, Terpene Resins and many more.
- All processes are monitored by well-trained technical personnel with the help of latest instrumentation and quality control.
- The plant is totally free of air and liquid pollution and maintains strict vigil all the time to protect environment and people.
Manufacturing Plant - Baroda, Gujarat
A state–of–the-art manufacturing facility was set up at Nandesari, Baroda (45 minutes by air from Mumbai) in 1999, to manufacture high value fragrance chemicals and fragrance chemical intermediates based on in-house technology. Products manufactured at this plant are of international standard and are well accepted in markets abroad and at home.
Enthused by the results and future prospects, we undertook a substantial expansion of the plant for enhancing the capacity of existing products and adding more fragrance chemicals and intermediates to the product range. This expansion was completed in September 2004.
The plant has a capacity to produce several hundred tons of Alpha Pinene Epoxide, Alpha Campholenic Aldehyde, Dihydromyrcenol, Astrolide and Sandalica. A majority of the production is exported to Europe, UK, USA, and the Far East.
We are proficient at carrying out chemical processes such as hydrogenation, pyrolysis, epoxidation, alkylation, isomerization, oxidation, hydrolysis, hydration etc. These reactions are carried out under widely varying temperatures ranging from – 40°C to 600°C, and pressures ranging from 1 mm Hg to 30 kg/cm2. It is possible to operate under such diversified conditions by using latest instrumentation, utilities and a well-trained technical staff.
Our quality control laboratory is eminently capable of monitoring and controlling all processes and streams. An independently functioning quality assurance section ensures that products leaving the premises are always of specification quality.
Handling extremely sensitive chemicals like peracetic acid and propylene oxide, and hazardous processes like hydrogenation, pyrolysis, epoxidation etc require a high degree of safety measures. We have provided the latest instrumentation to monitor and operate these reactions under safe conditions. We also have our own captive power plant to provide uninterrupted power for the safety of the plant.
We pay utmost attention to packing our products and ensure they are handled safely, cleansed completely, and reach our customers without any damage or contamination. We have certified auto filling stations so that accurate amounts of our products can be filled into containers. Alternatives for packing are HMHDPE Drums,Epoxy Coated drums, IBCs and Isotanks for bulk shipments. We can also palletize the cargo upon specific requests from the customer.
