INDUSTRY PROFILE
INTERNATIONAL SCENARIO
The world chlor-alkali industry is growing faster as any other industries in the world. The chemical Industry plays a vital role in the production of many manufactured goods. The industry provides a tremendous variety of materials to other manufactures. Major products of the industry includes detergent drugs, fertilizers, food preservatives, flavoring and paper, fine chemicals .etc. Most major chemicals are basic chemicals used in many countries. It is used to produce fertilizers and chemicals. The basic chemicals include chlorine and sodium hypochlorite. The production has become increasingly concentrated in multinational corporations which have plants and offices in a number of countries. To achieve low cost of production, the companies
locate their factories in developing countries, where raw materials are readily available. Many basic chemicals are produced in developing countries by factories of multinational firm. But chemicals requiring advanced production methods are made in industrialized countries. In International scene, increased production of papers, aluminum, soap, and detergent naturally leads to increased requirements of caustic soda. In the world scenario, the Green Peace movement was seeking the phase out of chlorine usage, especially the CFC compounds. This has resulted in closing down in Europe and restricted the production in North American Plants. With the drops in international production, the international price of caustic soda was steadily rising. The caustic soda which was sold for a more 50 $ per tones has gone up to 300 $ per tones. The International market operates in the context of demand and supply prevailing from time to time, situation of surplus and shortage are cyclical as a result of which International price is common and drop in import duty often followed by steep drop in price of the chemical. Though the demand for chlorine is growing fast the demand of caustic soda is not so promising. Hence the units in the gulf and western countries are selling caustic soda at a cheaper price.
MAJOR COUNTRIES PRODUCING CAUSTIC SODA The countries producing caustic soda are USA RUSSIA FRANCE GERMANY INDIA CANADA CHINA JAPAN
INDIAN SCENARIO
In India, caustic soda is produced by electrolysis process. The manufacture of caustic soda started during 1940 in the country. The growth was rather slow during 1960s and after the growth picked up substantially. Today there are about 38 chlor- alkali units in India.
MAJOR SOUTH INDIAN CHLORA-ALKALI UNITS

The following are the major chlora alkali units in south India; Chemplast, Tamilnadu Chefab Alkalis ltd,Pondicherry Southern petro Chemical Industries Corp.Ltd .Chennai
Kothari Petro Chemicals Ltd, Chennai Sree Royal Seema Alkalies & Allied Chemicals, Andra Predesh BILT, Karnataka DCW Ltd, Mettur TCC Ltd, Kerala
STATE SCENARIO
Caustic Soda is one of the basic inorganic chemicals manufactured from common salt Caustic soda, Hydro chlorite acid and Sodium hypochlorite is the products. In the Kerala state, TCC is the only Chlor-alkali Industrial Unit and has a production capacity of 175 MT Caustic soda per day. There are many small scale Industries in the state which consumes caustic soda for the production of soap, detergent, etc. Because of the high transportation cost, it is not possible to export caustic soda in large volume from the state. TCC is the only one chlor alksali unit in the state and it is employing environment friendly and energy efficient technology. The chlorine industry is working properly. Chlorine is a basic material required for water purification and without chlorine the water workers will not be able to supply drinking to the public.
TCC SERVING THE NATION

TCC is employing 786 persons directly and many more indirectly. Its products find extensive use in the manufacture of day to day consumable articles. Chlor-Alkali products are basic chemicals used in the manufacture of plastic, paper, textiles, insecticides and pharmaceuticals. Many chemical industries in the state depend on TCC for supply of caustic soda, Hydrochloric acid, chlorine & Soda bleach

The plant was commissioned in 2006. The plant has a production capacity of 25 TPD of Caustic Soda. It consists of one electrolyze with 54 elements.
RAW MATERIALS USED

Raw materials used in the production process in TCC are 1. Common Salt (raw salt) 2. Electricity 3. Water
TECHNOLOGY USED FOR PRODUCTION

The technology used by TCC is Membrane Cell Technology which is environment friendly and energy efficient technology.
PROCESS FOLLOWED
The process followed in production by TCC is electrolysis of Brine.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Brine (solution of raw salt & water) saturation & purification process are common for AGC, UHDE 1 and UHDE 2 plants.
STAGES IN THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

1. Brine saturation and primary purification Sodium Chloride or row salt is fed into the saturator using the bucket elevator, where it set mixed with the Chlorine decomposed, depleted Brine. This saturated Brine from the saturator goes to precipitation tanks A & B and a mixer tank where Barium Carbonate Soda Ash and Caustic Soda are added respectively to remove Sulphates, Calcium and Magnesium. Impurities as precipitates. The Brine along with the precipitates then goes to the clarifier where 90% of the precepts are allowed to settle. The clarified Brine is passed through Anthracite filters where the remaining 10% precepts are separated. HCL is added to the filtered Brine tank to convert impurities to ionic form. Brine is to be admitted to the secondary purification system only after the desired purity level is attained. 2. Secondary brine purification The secondary Brine purification system consists of our ion exchange filters. The primary purified Brine is passed through the Ion exchange filters where it undergoes Ion exchange process. Ion exchange materials are insoluble acids & bases, which when converted to salt remain insoluble. These ion exchange materials are used in columns in which the solutions containing ionic impurities like Calcium and Magnesium are in contact with the resin bed. The saturated resin is then regenerated to its original state by acid alkali solution. The regenerated resin is
Page 53
then reused. The purity of the feed Brine in the membrane cell process is very important as it affected the performance and life of the membrane. 3. Electrolysis The secondary purified Brine is passed through a heat exchange, fed to Brine head tank and is admitted to the anode compartments of the electrolysis. Dematerialized water is also admitted to the cathode compartment of the electrolysis. Direct current (DC) supply is connected to the anode and cathode. During electrolysis Caustic Soda Lye is produced at cathode which is 32% concentration. Hydrogen gas is also formed at the cathode chamber. Chlorine is formed in the anode where the depleted Brine solution comes out. Caustic Soda is pumped into storage tank and Hydrogen and Chlorine gas goes to their respective treatment section. 4. Chlorine treatment & liquefaction Chlorine treatment and liquefaction involves cooling, washing filtration, drying, compression liquefaction, storage and liquid Chlorine filling in the cylinders, the Chlorine from anode chamber of the electrolysis is first cooled at 30 degree celcious with the cooling tower water. Final traces of salt is removed by using a wet Chlorine filter, it is then again cooked using chilled water. After this the Chlorine gas is divided into two streams for the HCL synthesis and for liquefying. The Chlorine for liquefaction is dried using 98% Hydrochloric acid in drying tower. The dried Chlorine is compressed using acid ring compressors. The compressed Chlorine gas turns into liquid Chlorine storage tanks. Chlorine for the HCL synthesis unit is fed by using chlorine blower. 5. H2 treatment and HCL analysis Hydrogen gas from the electrolyser is washed with water in washing chamber, cooled using tower water and admitted directly to Hydrogen blower, after separating the condensate. The Hydrogen gas is used for the HCL synthesis and also as a fuel in the CCF plant. Hydrogen for HCL synthesis is fed to the oven using Hydrogen blowers. Here it is burned in the presence of Chlorine. The resulting HCL gas is absorbed in the water flowing down the oven to produce 31% commercial HCL gas. 6. Continuous Caustic fusion It is done in CCF (continuous caustic fusion) plant. CCF plant is mainly for concentrating 32% NaOH lye to 50% NaOH lye and then to 98%-99% NaOH melts which is converted as flakes. The 32% NaOH lye is stored in the
Page 54
main storage tank, as a part of which goes for sale. The remaining part of 32% lye is passed through three evaporators Ev1, Ev2, Ev3. In the first evaporator the Caustic Soda lye is heated using vapours generated in Ev2 and Ev3.the steam generated in Ev1 is then drawn by a vaccum pump through a condenser and thus Ev1 is working under vaccum and at 70-80 degree celcious. The outlet from Ev1 is 40% Caustic Soda lye which is passed through Ev2 where it is evaporated to 50% Caustic Soda lye using 9 kg/-cm2 steam from boiler. A portion of 50% Caustic Soda lye cooled and sold. The remaining portion of 50% Caustic Soda lye is pumped to Ev3 where it is heated using heat transfer salt which is a mixture of 53% Potassium Nitrate, 40% Sodium Nitrate and 7% Sodium Nitrate. In Ev3 the 50% Caustic Soda lye is concentrated to 98%-99% Caustic Soda melt which is converted as Caustic Soda flakes in a flakers drum. 7. Soda Bleach preparation Excess of waste Chlorine cant be disposed as a waste gas. But it has to be absorbed in dilute Caustic Soda lye to produce Soda bleach. Thus the Soda bleach plant serves also as a pollution control system. A part of 32% Caustic Soda lye, chlorine is used for the preparation of Soda bleach. The excess Chlorine at the time of plant shutdown or startup and also from cylinder filling station goes for Soda bleach preparation, 32% Caustic soda lye is diluted using demineralized water. The solution is passed through two absorbing towers, where it reacts with Chlorine gas so as to produce Soda bleach.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Page 72
ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Ratio analysis is an important and age-old technique. It is a powerful tool of financial analysis. It is defined as the indicated quotient of two mathematical expression and as the relationship between two or more things. Systematic use of ratio is to interpret the financial statement so that the strength and weakness of a firm as well as its historical performance and current financial condition can be determined. A ratio is only comparison of the numerator with the denominator. The term ratio refers to the numerical or quantitative relationship between two figures. Thus, ratio is the relationship between two figures, and obtained by dividing the former by the latter. Ratios are designed show how one number is related to another. The data given in the financial statements are in absolute form, are dump, and are unable to communicate anything. Ratios are relative form of financial data and very useful technique to check upon the efficiency of a firm. Some ratios indicate the trend, progress, or downfall of the firm. In the view of the requirements of the various users of ratio, it has divided into the following important categories: I Activity Ratio II Liquidity Ratio III Profitability Ratio IV Leverage Ratio
I.

INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: From the above table, networking capital of the TCC shows negative trend that means for the last 2 years current asset is less than current liabilities. It reveals that the company not in a position to meet its day to day obligations. Management must take adequate interest in increasing the working capital of the company for the coming years by increasing current assets of the company.

INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: Here all the working capital turnover ratio of TCC is found to be negative, because of the negative working capital. In all years the current liabilities exceeds the current assets. If we ignore the negatives all ratios are found satisfactory. From this, we can understand that the working capital turn over ratio is showing decreasing trend.

INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: Standard current ratio of a sound business is two and TCCs current ratio is below one for the last 2 years Therefore, we can interpret that the company is suffering from inadequate working capital. That is they cannot meet their short-term obligations in time. The main reason for the decrease in current ratio is that, in all the 2 years the current liabilities of the company are more than the CA. 4. Quick Ratio

INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: Gross profit ratio indicates the degree to which selling price per unit may decline without resulting in losses from operations to the firm. An increase in the gross profit ratio may be due to an increase in the selling price without a corresponding increase in the cost of goods sold or due to a decrease in the cost of goods sold without a corresponding decrease in the selling price of goods. 6.

INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: Net profit ratio is used to measure the overall profitability of the organization. Here the company is running at a loss The cost of raw material is increasing day by day and the company could not increase the selling price.
IV LEVERAGE RATIOS:
Many financial analysts are interested in the relative use of debt and equity in the firm. These ratios measure the long- term solvency position of the firm. Following are the important leverage ratios:
7. Debt-Equity Ratio The relationship between borrowed funds and owners capital is a popular measure of the long-term financial solvency of a firm. This relationship is shown by the debt-equity ratio. This ratio indicates the relative proportion of debt and equity in financing the assets of a firm. An acceptable norm for this ratio is considered 2:1. This ratio is computed by dividing the total debt of the firm by its net worth.
Debt-equity ratio =
Debt Equity
Or Debt-equity ratio = Outsiders fund Shareholders fund
Page 79
The term debt refers to the total outside liabilities. It includes all current liabilities and other outside liabilities like loan, debentures, etc. The term equity refers to net worth or shareholders fund. Equity or shareholders fund = Share capital + Reserves and surplus Fictitious assets
Particulars secured loans unsecured loans Total Debt sharecapital reserves and surplus Net Worth Profit Before tax interest and financial charges Debit Equity Ratio Interest Coverage Ratio Capital Networth Ratio 2010(Rs in lakhs) 5248.91 497.45 5746.36 2131.91 0 2131.91 -264.34 660.01 2.695405 -0.40051 3.695405 2011(Rs in lakhs) 4638.74 576.96 5215.7 2131.19 0 2131.19 -444.4 721.04 2.447318 -0.61633 3.447318

Page 80
INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE: An acceptable norm for this ratio is considered 2:1. A high ratio shows that the claims of creditors are greater than those of owners. A very high ratio is unfavorable from the point of view of the firm. A high debt company is able to borrow funds on very restrictive term and conditions. A low debt-equity ratio implies a greater claim of owners than creditors. From the point of view of creditors, it represents a satisfactory capital structure of the business. In debt-equity ratio; also, the company is not coming to the satisfactory level. The entire debt-equity ratio is higher than the standard level of 2. There by we can interpret that the claim of creditors of TCC are much above than of owners. 8 Interest Coverage Ratio It used to test the firms debt-servicing capacity. It shows the number of times the interest charges are covered by funds that are ordinarily available for their payment. Equation is Interest Coverage ratio= EBI ___________ Interest
Interest Coverage Ratio

0 2010 -0.1 -0.2 -0.3 -0.4 -0.5 -0.6 -0.7 Interest Coverage Ratio 2011
INTERPRETATION AND INFERENCE:

The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense. When a company's interest coverage ratio is 1.5 or lower, its ability to meet interest expenses may be questionable.
Page 81
Here, the Interest coverage ratio negative. An interest coverage ratio below 1 indicates the company is not generating sufficient revenues to satisfy interest expenses.
The present business world is becoming more complex because of its dynamic nature. The chemical industry provides an assured market for manufacture of pulp, textiles, soaps, and detergents, pesticides, aluminum, petrochemicals, drugs& pharmaceuticals, oil refining, etc.
The industry had to be rejuvenated and diversified to produce chemicals viz. caustic soda lye and flakes, liquid chlorine, hydrochloric acid and sodium hypochlorite. It is unfortunate that there has been no measure spelt by the government to save the industry. To conclude the management of the the Travancore-cochin chemicals should strive to improve the liquidity position by reducing the investment. The company should adopt necessary and relevant steps for curtailing the cost to improve the profitability.

The following are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of TCC Ltd,
STRENGTH
Only Chlor alkali unit in the state Good record of physical and financial performance in the past. Qualified work force, brilliant engineers, managers and skilled workers. No strike reported for the last few years. Companys products are basic chemicals and are considered to be the building blocks of chemical industry. The company has 80% market share for its products in Kerala. The company is a feeding industry to other companies. Excellent management labour relation. Strategic location with no other competitors around at present. Availability of water in abundance as TCC is situated in the banks of river Periyar. Excellent transport facilities and proximity to national highway, railway line, seaport, and airports as well.
WEAKNESS
TCC is a public undertaking. The major decisions of the company have to be approved by the government which delays the implementations of plans and there by causing organizational inflexibility. The major weaknesses are; Lack of profit motive leads to poor performance
Employee cost is high compared to other firms (competitors) Large consumption of energy , 60% of manufacturing cost is electricity Raw salt is not available in vicinity so transportation cost is very high
OPPORTUNITIES
New project of synthetic rutile plant. Rutile companies are reaping big profit in the state due to the availability of raw material within the state. There is a high price in the international market for rutile and related products. Economic development of the country may results in higher demand for the product especially for chlorine in near future Proposal for a hydel project will benefit TCC and the power so obtained can be utilized for running the plants of TCC. Thus reducing the cost incurred on electricity.
THREATS
The following are the main threats faced by TCC Ltd, Competition from foreign countries High cost of production Higher in price of electricity The infra structure of the company is obsolete compared to others The import duty of central government is not fair and it caused periodic fluctuations in the price of the companys product

WIP focus on quality Marketing system is inefficient Less care is given for the safety measures of the workers. Less importance is given for advertisement and hence advertisement budget is low.
Page 87

Page 88
CONCLUSION
Travancore Cochin Chemicals Ltd , Udyogamandal is a state owned undertaking engaged in manufacture of basic chemicals like caustic soda, HCL, Chlorine, Sodium Hyptochlorine etc. These are required by various industries within and outside the state. TCCs products have national reputation for quality and the company gives high priority to customer satisfaction. It is an organic chemical company. TCC takes vital steps at the right time to make innovations in technological up gradations as well as organizational improvements, which helped it to face problems quite effectively and efficiently. Till 1995- 1996, company had recorded a steady growth in production as well as in sales. After that period even through the sales remain on an average. The company could not make any profits. This was due to the implementation of membrane cell technology in place of mercury cell technology. The higher electric charges compared with other states also affected the profits of the company. TCC enjoys a lions share of the market in kerala and would continue to do so. As per the study conducted in the organization, the capacity of production is increasing and the company is moving in to more profitable stages. The days I spent at TCC and created a concrete impression in the development of my career.
