25
FIGURE 2.2
26
2.4 STAGE 1: CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF RAW
MATERIALS
● FOR EXAMPLE:
To produce acetonitrile through chemical reaction for further processing and
utilization in various applications.
As Mangalam Drugs and Organics is a manufacturer, they likely use acetonitrile as a
raw material in various chemical processes. Acetonitrile is a versatile solvent
commonly used in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other
chemical processes
● PROCESS OVERVIEW:
1. Raw materials are meticulously weighed using weighing balance WB-2A-02 to
ensure accurate quantities for each batch.
2. Acetonitrile undergoes a chemical reaction to produce the desired product.
3. The resulting crude product is transferred to a modular system for further
processing.
● CHEMICAL REACTION
During production, acetonitrile may undergo various chemical reactions depending on
the specific process and the intended end products. Some common reactions involving
acetonitrile include:
27
1. HYDROGENATION:
Acetonitrile can be hydrogenated to form ethylamine, a building block for various
pharmaceuticals and organic compounds. This reaction typically involves the use of a
catalyst such as nickel or palladium.
2. NITRILE HYDROLYSIS:
Acetonitrile can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water and acid or base
catalysts to form acetic acid or acetamide. This reaction is important in the production
of these chemicals for use in various industries.
3. GRIGNARD REACTIONS:
Acetonitrile can react with alkyl or aryl magnesium halides (Grignard reagents) to
form ketones through nucleophilic addition followed by hydrolysis. This reaction is
valuable in organic synthesis for creating complex molecules.
These are just a few examples of the chemical reactions that acetonitrile can undergo
during production processes at Mangalam Drugs and Organics. The specific reactions
employed will depend on the desired end products and the expertise of the company's
chemists and engineers.
● CRUDE MOLECULE
A "crude molecule" typically refers to a molecule that is in its natural or
unrefined state, without undergoing purification or processing.
The crude molecule of Acetonitrile, also known as methyl cyanide, has the chemical
formula CH3CN. It consists of a methyl group (CH3) attached to a nitrile group (CN).
This simple structure makes acetonitrile a versatile starting material for various
chemical reactions and synthesis processes in industries such as pharmaceuticals,
agrochemicals, and fine chemicals.
28
● PRODUCTION FACILITY:
1. Reactor Configuration: The production facility houses 25 reactors within the 2A
plant building. These reactors are distributed across two floors:
First Floor: 15 reactors, with 11 in one area room and 4 in another area room.
Second Floor: 10 reactors.
5. Material Transfer: The process involves the transfer of both solid and liquid
materials between reactors, ensuring seamless continuity and efficiency in
production.

● SAFETY MEASURES
Mangalam drugs and organic company have separate room for drying their products.
Before entering the room worker, visitor & head members have to follow some safety
measures. The safety measures for workers are such as head cap, nose mask, hand
gloves and shoe cover.
● TEMPERATURE
The temperature in a drying room for acetonitrile in a pharmaceutical company can
vary depending on the specific drying method being used and the requirements of the
process. For the molecular sieve drying method, the temperature is typically kept at
ambient or slightly elevated temperatures (around 20-30°C) to facilitate the drying
process without causing excessive evaporation of the solvent.
It's important to note that the specific temperature and conditions may vary based on
the equipment used, the scale of the operation, and the specific requirements of the
pharmaceutical process. Therefore, it's crucial to follow established procedures and
guidelines to ensure the drying process is conducted effectively and safely.
33
● ROOM FACILITIES
In that room there are some trolleys, which they fit in their drying equipment. That
trolley is basically washed after using it once a time. The duration for washing a
trolley can vary depending on the cleaning method, the degree of dirtiness, and the
specific washing equipment used. In a pharmaceutical setting where cleanliness and
sterility are critical, the washing process is usually thorough and can take anywhere
from 15 minutes to over an hour per trolley. This includes pre-rinsing, washing with
detergent or cleaning solution, rinsing, and sometimes sanitizing or sterilizing steps.
In that trolley material is being used for drying.
Mangalam Drugs and Organics vacuum drying processes to ensure the purity and
quality of their products, including acetonitrile.
Vacuum drying, or drying under reduced pressure, can be effective for removing
moisture from acetonitrile at lower temperatures. This method minimizes the
risk of thermal degradation and is commonly used in industries where
preserving the integrity of the product is crucial.
34
These drying methods are likely part of Mangalam Drugs and Organics' quality
control processes to ensure that their products, including acetonitrile, meet the
required purity and quality standards for their intended applications.
The product after drying would still be acetonitrile. Drying is a process applied to
acetonitrile to remove impurities and moisture, ensuring it meets the required purity
standards. So, the name of the product remains acetonitrile.
35
2.7 STAGE 4: INTERMEDIATE PRODUCT
36
3. SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT: This approach improves supply chain
management by aligning production schedules with supply chain capabilities,
reducing lead times, and enhancing responsiveness to supply chain disruptions.
INTERMEDIATE cold storage refers to storage solutions that are used as needed to
store products requiring specific temperature conditions temporarily. This type of
storage is crucial for maintaining the integrity of temperature-sensitive
pharmaceuticals during INTERMEDIATE production processes
