About UsThe Group concentrated its efforts to master the technology of liquid-phase hydrogenation, which included critical equipment design, and preparation of active and selective catalysts. As on date, the Group has mastered catalyst design and equipment design for reduction of various functional groups. The insight has resulted into three self-sufficient manufacturing sites; erected and commissioned by a complete in-house effort. With mind-sets tuned to develop technologies from fundamentals, the Group has initiated a massive R & D effort for launching various products, using catalytic hydrogenation and air oxidation, N-alkylation, O-alkylation, nitrosation, low-temperature nitration, esterification, ethoxylation and cyanoethylation. |
Awards / RecognitionMumbai: CATAPHARMA, a Nashik based Medium scale unit, has been awarded the prestigious Green Chemistry Award 2009 in the "Start-up to Medium Scale Enterprises Category" in Industrial Green Chemistry Workshop - IGCW 2009, a premier global event for the industry, recently held in Mumbai. The event (www.industrialgreenchem.com) was attended by over 325 senior decision makers from 135 leading fine and specialty chemical companies (including Drugs and Pharma, Agrochemicals, Dyes and Pigments etc.) from India and abroad.
The chemical industry is a $ 3 trillion global industry, with more than eighty thousand chemicals in commerce, impacting every aspect of human life. The chemical world now faces the challenge of addressing the E-factor (kg waste generated / kg production) by exploring the prevention of pollution as a profit center. Innovative and sustainable concepts of Green Chemistry and Green Engineering are emerging as the new paradigms to reduce pollution and improve profitability of business at the same time.
Greener innovations may use less polluting synthetic pathways than the existing one or use milder reaction conditions than existing one or replace present molecule so as to create lesser pollution upon their usage. Greener technologies benefits human health and environment. The Green Chemistry award is an effort to recognize outstanding research and initiatives, by individuals and corporate, in Green Chemistry and Engineering to promote innovation in cleaner, cheaper, smarter chemistry.
CATAPHARMA, started their operation in 1986 at Sinnar, is one of the pioneers in the country for innovatively employing the catalytic chemistry to produce many import substitutes with non-polluting technology of Catalytic hydrogenation. It produces no waste and water is the only main bye-product which eco-fiendly. The innovations done by the company to replace older technologies were scrutinized by a panel of Jury comprising of eminent scientists and world authorities on Green Chemistry including Prof Paul Anastas (who worked for U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the Chief of the Industrial Chemistry Branch and as the Director of the U.S. Green Chemistry Program) and Dr.John Warner, known worldwide as the father of Green Chemistry concept.
