ACID SLURRY (LINEAR ALKYL BENZENE SULPHONIC ACID)
[EIRI/EDPR/4418] J.C.: 2620XL
INTRODUCTION
Acid Slurry (LABSA) is a detergents active anionic in nature. There are many other detergent actives such as A.O.S., Fatty alcohol, Non-Ionic etc. But due to cost effectiveness Acid Slurry (LABSA) dominates the detergent active market. There is a growing demand of acid slurry. But, there is a huge gap of supply of raw materials. Global demands for this product are increasing rapidly. Looking the expected demand of these products in global market as well as in domestic market, the proposed projects have acceptability in the local and international market.
Synthetic detergents had been developed in the beginning of 20th century and started making inroads into the area earlier served by washing compounds i.e. soaps made traditionally from oils/fats and caustic soda. Since soaps have comparatively lesser washing characteristics in hard water than synthetic detergents, synthetic washing compounds have been able to occupy a significant market which was enjoyed by washing soaps earlier. The term detergents which originated from the Latin word detergine (i.e. to wipe off), is now a day’s applied to all synthetic washing compounds. Synthetic detergents are not only used as cleaning materials but also have industrial applications in textiles, pesticide industry as carriers, etc.
It is intended to prepare a Feasibility Report to install 600 Tons/Year Acid Slurry (LABSA) production facility as a Green Field Project.
