Phillips Carbon Black Limited, part of the RPG Group, pioneered the carbon black industry in India. It is now the leading producer of carbon black in the country. Phillips Carbon Black has come a long way since its inception in 1960. PCBL started production from December 1962 by oil furnace; the most widely accepted manufacturing process of carbon black patented by its then collaborator and world carbon black leader Phillips Petroleum Company, USA. The collaboration ended in 1978. However, PCBL continued its progress by virtue of the ingenuity of its technologists, engineers and sustained R&D activities. In 1988 PCBL entered into a technical agreement with Columbian Chemicals Company, USA, and acquired access to modern state-of-the-art Carbon Black technology. This resulted in the company gaining flexibility, product range, production capacity and energy conservation.
The Company also took advantage of the newly introduced Electricity Act of 2003 to set-up a 12 MW co-generating power plant at its Baroda Plant using the process waste gases. After meeting the internal demand for production of Carbon Black, the surplus of around 7MW - 7.5 MW is being sold to the Grid from end March'05. The Company spent nearly Rs.100 cr. for the two production lines and co-generation power plant. Products:
