1.2.9 Manufacturing process


Receipt of Raw material:- The raw material is received in the tannery in wet salted
condition. A visual check is made on the quality of material for every batch of hides / skins.
The hides will be segregated based on their sizes.
Desalting:- In desalting, the salt sticking on the surface of the hides is removed before it is
sent to the soaking operation. This done using brush type desalting machine. The dusted salt
collected from the machine operation is reused back in curing or in pickling but only after
purification.
Soaking:- The desalted hides are put in soaking drums. Soaking is done to rehydrate hides.
Salt used for curing the raw material is washed away along with soak liquor. Water is added at
150% based on the weight of the stock. Wetting agent, bactericide and enzyme are the
common chemicals added. Based on the dryness level of the skins / hides, the wetting agent
quantity varies from 0.1 % to 0.25% on the raw material weight. The soaking operation lasts
for about 12 hours based on the dryness level of the skins / hides.
Liming and un-hairing- Liming is done to open up the fibre bundles of the hide / skin
structure and the compact hides & skins matter is loosened to facilitate removal of flesh.
This allows the chemicals used in further processes penetrate into the hide /skin. Unhairing
is also done in the same float (i.e., same unit process). The chemicals normally used are
lime, sodium sulphide, unhairing enzymes and rarely soda ash and caustic soda. During the
liming process, the soluble non-fibrous proteins are removed. Per weight of the hides &
skins, 5 to 10% of lime and 3 to 5% of sodium sulphide are added.The hides are piled fleshto-flesh for 6-10 hours. There after the required length of time, the hides will be loaded to
drums. The excess lime paste is also added to the drums. The drum will have rpm of about 2
and intermittently operated and the liming continued for 24-27 hours in winter and 20-22
hours in summer.
Fleshing- Fleshing is done in machines to remove the fleshes sticking on the flesh side. The
hides are washed in drums before unloading after liming operation. The fleshes are
removed by passing the hides between a helical bladed cylinder and a hard rubber feed
roller. Fleshing operation requires water for easy removal of fleshes. This fleshing water has
dissolved lime and sulphide, which will be useful for liming hides.
Consultant: Perfact Envirosolutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

Proposed Leather Processing Unit (Raw hides & skins to finished Leather) at Rania, U.P. By M/s Leayan Global Pvt. Ltd.

Deliming / Bating- The hides are washed before deliming. The pelt wash liquor will be
recycled to soaking liquor. Weak acidic salts like ammonium chloride and ammonium
sulphate are used as deliming agents. Lime is neutralized and removed from skin. The bating
agents consist of enzymes, which clean up the pelt and remove the loosely fixed proteinous
matter.
Deliming is usually done in drums using ammonium chloride or ammonium sulphate to
neutralize and remove the lime present in the pelt. Normally 1 to 1.5% ammonium salt is
used for deliming with a float of 100 to 150%. Deliming is carried out for a period of 45 to 60
minutes. The end point is ascertained using phenolphthalein indicator. Absence of pink
colour with the indicator indicates the completion of deliming.
Bating- Bating is the treatment of delimed pelts with enzymatic preparations for removal of
scud, short hair and degraded proteinous matter and to improve the grain characteristics.
Usually 0.5 to 1.5% of bate is used for this operation. Bating is carried out after deliming in
the same bath. On completion of deliming bate is added is added and the drumming is
continued for a period of 45 to 60 minutes. The pelt is dry-drummed with 0.25 to 0.5% of
wetting agent for a period of 20 to 30 minutes and then washed thoroughly.
Degreasing- Degreasing is carried out to remove the natural fat which would hamper the
subsequent operations if left as such in the hides. This is carried out using degreasing agents
in a short float of 25 to 50% for a period of about one hour. Washing is very important after
completion of degreasing to remove the degreasing agents and the emulsified fat.
Pickling- Pickling is the process of conditioning deliming and bated pelts for chrome tanning.
The pelts are generally drummed with 10% brine solution for a period of 20 to 30 minutes.
The total float requirement will be 70% in the following break up: 30% as supernatant from
the chrome recovery plant, 30% as fresh water and 10% for dissolving sulphuric acid. The
salt requirement will be 2 to 3% to reach 10% brine solution. Then sulphuric acid is added in
instalments to attain an equilibrium pH at cross section 2.8 to 3.0. Formic acid of about 0.3%
is added prior to the addition of sulphuric acid to protect the grain characteristics and
facilitate tanning carried out subsequently.
Chrome tanning- Conventionally chrome tanning involves treatment of pickled pelt with
basic chromium sulphate equivalent to 6 - 8% using 100 to 150% of water as the medium.
Consultant: Perfact Envirosolutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

Proposed Leather Processing Unit (Raw hides & skins to finished Leather) at Rania, U.P. By M/s Leayan Global Pvt. Ltd.

The actual use of basic chromium sulphate will be 4.5% to 5.25% and the balance will be
met from the recovered chrome liquor. After ascertaining the penetration of chromium by
examining the cross section, the pH of the bath is raised to 3.8 to 4.0 using sodium formate
and sodium bicarbonate.

Desilting Tank

The desilting tanks are used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater.
Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and
overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by
the recharge structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand)
to allow standing water to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these desilting
chambers shall be utilized for horticulture.

Recharge well

The Recharge Well consist the pit size of with dia.- 3.3 m and effective depth of 3.5 m with
of 160 mm PVC perforated pipe will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit
will be filled with gravel and pebbles consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. The
mouth of the PVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The depth of the bore
will depend on the soil condition/water strata. The schematic diagram is enclosed. It should
be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water quality &
hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the
groundwater table in the area.

treated water from CRU will go to ETP for further treatment. The chrome recovered
shall be reused. The detail are given in figures given ahead.
 The general process waste water of 379 KLD shall be treated in ETP.
 All other waste Water (11 KLD) from Domestic, Boiler shall also be treated in ETP.
 Total 414 KLD effluent will be treated in ETP of 500 KLD followed by R.O. of 420 KLD.
The treated effluent of 331 KLD (80%) would be reused for Gardening, Process &
wash & reject of 83 KLD (20%) generated from R.O. shall be sent to multi-effect
evaporator for further treatment. The concentrate obtained from MEE will go into
crystallizer. Salt received from the crystallizer shall be disposed of at Secured land fill

obtained from MEE & shall be reused for Boiler, cooling & process. All the treated
water shall be reused. Thus, It will be a Zero Liquid Discharge unit.
 The treatment in the ETP followed by R.O. will be based on five stages of treatment
as mentioned below and in the Figure.
1. Primary treatment: physical-chemical treatment, in which majority of suspended and
colloidal particulate pollution load is treated
2. Secondary treatment: biological treatment
3. Tertiary treatment: chemical and filtration to make the effluent treatable in reverse
osmosis
4. Quaternary treatment: Reverse osmosis treatment consisting of Ultrafiltration
followed by two stages reverse osmosis
5. Quinary treatment: Mechanical evaporation of reject saline effluent

Fig.: Schematic of water flow in proposed ETP of Leayan Global Pvt Ltd at Rania, Kanpur, U.P.

Description of treatment:
a. Primary treatment
Bar screens are provided in the screen chamber to retain the coarse particles at the inlet to
the receiving sump. Effluent from the receiving sump will be sent to a presettler in which
easily settleable solids will be settled at the bottom and removed. The overflow from the
presettler will be sent to equalization tank. Equalization is required provided to equalize the
characteristics of effluent arising out of various operations. The equalized effluent from
equalization tank is pumped uniformly to flash mixer where lime and alum solutions are
dosed.In the flash mixer, lime, alum and polyelectrolyte are added based on actual
characteristics of the effluent.After mixing the chemicals in the flash mixer, the
agglomeration of colloids is made to form bigger flocs in the flocculator.The effluent from
the flocculation tank is sent to primary clarifier for sedimentation. During sedimentation the
solid and liquid parts are separated using gravitation force. From the clarifier the effluent
comes from top and the sludge comes from the bottom of the clarifier.
b. Biological treatment
The effluent leaving the primary clarifier is taken for biological treatment. Extended aeration
activated sludge process has been adopted for the treatment of the effluent. The aerobic
process is capable of converting organics to innocuous end products or to cellular mass. The
Consultant: Perfact Envirosolutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

38

Proposed Leather Processing Unit (Raw hides & skins to finished Leather) at Rania, U.P. By M/s Leayan Global Pvt. Ltd.

organics are metabolized by a diverse group of micro-organisms to carbon-dioxide and


water. At the same time a sizeable fraction is converted to cellular mass.
Oxygen is required for the sustenance of the microbes. The microbes convert the organics in
the effluent to biomass. Oxygen shall be supplied in the form of air. Air from blowers shall
be distributed in to the aeration tanks through the fine bubble diffusers. The oxygen
transfer efficiency of the diffusers is more than the other aeration equipment.
The over flow from aeration tank flows to a secondary clarifier where the biomass formed in
the aeration tanks shall settle as sludge. The sludge settled in the secondary clarifier shall be
re-circulated back to aeration tanks to maintain the desired microbial population in the
aeration tanks and the excess sludge shall be sent to sludge drying beds. The overflow from
secondary clarifier shall flow to a collection sump from where the effluent shall be pumped
to an automatic sand filter to remove any fine matter that may be present in the effluent.
The sludge generated from primary sedimentation and excess secondary sludge are
dewatered in a filter press.
c. Tertiary treatment
The treated effluent from the secondary clarifier need to be subjected to a pre-treatment
involving softening and micron filtration to make it fit for treatment in an RO system. The
effluent from the ETP would be collected in an intermediate storage tank from where it is
pumped to a flash mixer where softening chemicals such as soda ash, lime and
polyelectrolyte would be dosed. The mixture thereafter would be admitted to a re-activator
clarifier for settling of the chemical sludge. The clarified effluent is then collected in another
tank and pumped through a pressure sand filter followed by a micron filtration prior to the
RO membranes.
d. Reverse osmosis
Reverse osmosis is used to purify water and remove salts and other impurities in order to
improve the colour, taste or properties of the fluid. Reverse osmosis uses a membrane that
is semi-permeable, allowing the fluid that is being purified to pass through it, while rejecting
the contaminants that remain. Most reverse osmosis technology uses a process known as
cross flow to allow the membrane to continually clean itself. As some of the fluid passes
through the membrane the rest continues downstream, sweeping the rejected species away
Consultant: Perfact Envirosolutions Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

39

Proposed Leather Processing Unit (Raw hides & skins to finished Leather) at Rania, U.P. By M/s Leayan Global Pvt. Ltd.

from the membrane. The process of reverse osmosis requires a driving force to push the
fluid through the membrane, and the most common force is pressure from a pump. The
higher the pressure, the larger the driving force.
The filters will be backwashed automatically after they log on set operation hours or the
pressure drop exceeds set value, whichever occurs first. The ultrafiltration (UF) system will
be backwashed at a set interval automatically.
e. Evaporation of reject
The reverse osmosis plant will provide clean water to an extent of about 80%. The
remaining effluent will have mixture of concentrate of residual salts and other ingredients
which were not treatment in the previous stages of treatment. This liquor has be
evaporated completely. This evaporation is done in mechanical evaporator based on
multiple effect evaporator. A five effect evaporator is proposed.
In a multiple-effect evaporator, water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a lower
pressure than the last. Because the boiling temperature of water decreases as pressure
decreases, the vapor boiled off in one vessel can be used to heat the next, and only the first
vessel (at the highest pressure) requires an external source of heat.
The concentrated obtained from MEE will go to crystallizer & the sat obtained from it will be
disposed off at TSDF. The MEE will provide clean water (condensate) to an extent of about
80%.
