Onsite PCC Plant / Satellite PCC Plant

In an On-site Plant, PCC (Precipitated Calcium Carbonate) is produced in a satellite facility; onsite or close to a paper mill and the resultant slurry is pumped directly to the mill. In this arrangement, all plant and equipment required for producing PCC are installed under lease agreement in the premises of its end user. The utilities like Power, Water, Steam and the CO2 from the boiler stake (going into the air after ESP) are used to make PCC in slurry form for its use in paper application. This unique environment friendly technology not only reduces the energy consumption and drying time but also utilizes the CO2 emitted from the boilers.

Gulshan Polyols Ltd is the first to introduce the concept of On-site PCC plant in India, at the site of Magnum Papers ltd. This has been recorded in the Limca Book of Records, 2010.Gulshan provides the know-how to set up an On-site PCC plant and maintains the supply of the raw material for the same. After success of its first partnership in this field, it is tying knot with other paper mills for On-site PCC technology.
