4. 1.1 Indian Plastic Industry
Polymer demend, MMT
The Plastic Industry has growing 1.5 times of GDP ( 1995- 2005)
with GDP @ 9% , the expected domestic demand of Polymer to Reach at 9.5 MMT.
Increased Demand in Polymer will Increase the Energy Wastages ( If EC measures are not
adopted/ neglected)

The boosting Demand will reach to 12.8 MMT.
The Growth Drivers are need to be closely monitored and policies need to
integrated with EC Act 01 & RE Sources to promote the EC.
Managing the Energy Demand to meet the Polymer demand @ 19 % is a
challenge .
Energy Management of using alternative energy sources will be a IMP tool
to meet the above challenge.

Dry basis moisture content (%)
Effective moisture diffusivity was calculated for all the trials, and found to
be in the range of 4 - 6.5 X 10-9 cm2/s. is in good agreement with the
value reported in the literature which is 5 X 10-9cm2/s.

19. 5.2 Cost Analysis of solar dryer
The simple cost analysis approach is depicted for this topic and it shows the
total cost of any system is sum of cost of individual components. Solar dryer
consisting of collector and drying chamber.
The roof of the collectors may be withstanding maximum temperatures up to
80
0C,
thus material should be quite stress resistant additional to
transparency. The collectors may be glass sheet, polycarbonate sheet or thin
polyster sheet.
Polyster sheet costs Rs. 72/m2 . Material cost for constructing the dryer is Rs.
50/m2 of collector area.
Total cost of dryer = collector cost + drying chamber cost + fabrication cost
= 72 + 50 + (72+50)
= Rs. 244 /m2 of collector area

20. 6. Conclusion
Drying behavior of Nylon-6 was investigated using natural convection solar drying.
Air temperature inside the dryer is found to be in the range of 55-70oC, which is
dependent on factors such as solar intensity, outside wind velocity, and type of
absorber etc.
Drying of Nylon-6 is found to be in the falling rate period. Nylon-6 took nearly 6 hrs
to reach 0.15 % moisture content value.
Value of effective diffusivity is varied from 4 - 6.5 X 10-9 cm2/sec. The results
presented in this work suggest that solar dryer can be satisfactorily used for drying
of Nylon-6.
Economic analysis show simple payback period for solar dryer capable of drying 100
kg/hr is around 7 months.
Solar Thermal Energy options can be quickly harnessed in plastic processing,
e.g. Pre-conditioning , Drying , and Preheating of Polymers.
