Birla Carbon: an opportunity factory in the Cubatao

The Indian-owned company is completing 60 years of installation in the City, leading the carbon black market

Birla Carbon, one of the largest global manufacturers and suppliers of carbon black, has been operating in Cubatão since 1958.

Consolidated as the second largest manufacturer of carbon black in the world, Birla Carbon completes this month 60 years of installation in Cubatão. And its president for South America, Ronaldo da Silva Duarte, points out that the company, in the process of technological modernization and expansion of production, is one of the best examples of which the Cubatão Industrial Pole is an exceptional factory of opportunities for new enterprises. The company, which also has units in Camaçari (Bahia), produces one of the most used raw materials on the planet. Carbon black is part of everyday comfort: it gives the black coloration in the composition, among other products, of tires, plastics, garbage bags, and coating of electric conductors.

This potential of use makes it a company of the base product manufacturers (used by other factories to make the final product) set up in Cubatão able to offer raw materials to investors who want to implant in the City processing industries in diverse branches ranging from the production of tires, automobile finishing equipment for vehicles, rubber products, coatings for ducts and electric conductors, plastic material and paints. A member of the board of the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim) and the Center for Integration and Development (Cide) and Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Ciesp) in Cubatão, he has always been an enthusiast of the implantation in the Municipality of the same instruments of action that allowed the growth of the center of Camaçari, among them an industrial condominium that facilitates the activities of this set of factories.

“When it began to be installed in Bahia, the Camaçari center also had chemical and petrochemical companies of basic products. When we implemented our black carbon factory in 2007, several processing companies also settled in Bahia, during the same period, mainly industries that mix plastic with carbon black”.

He sees in the Cubatão Program a Factory of Opportunities a path to follow. “I see that at Cubatão’s pole we are also at the beginning of an activity growth of the transformation industries. I was at the launch of the Cubatão Program an Opportunity Factory, a proposal of synergy between the polo companies and the City Hall to generate new jobs. The idea follows the same objectives of Camaçari. The municipal government should create a conducive environment for development. And depending on what the new Federal Government does, early next year, a lot of people are going to take out of the drawer investment projects in the Cubatão center. And this will be a great opportunity for anyone who is investing in the basic products manufacturing industries in Cubatão”.

 

Company generates energy by taking advantage of the residual gas

According to Ronaldo Silva Duarte, committed to sustainability, Bila Carbon Brasil develops a continuous work to optimize the use of energy and also environmental preservation in its factories.

Residual gas

An example of this is the reuse of tail gas (Tail Gas), using it as a fuel in the production process itself and also in the production of electricity and steam – which, in addition to making Bila Carbon self-sufficient in energy consumption, still allows the company sell the surplus to other industries.

 

Factory is a pioneer in the production of carbon black

Bila Carbon is one of the largest global manufacturers and suppliers of carbon black, product technically called Carbon Black.

Bila Carbon has been a pioneer at the polo since 1958 in Cubatão.

It also produces and markets electric power, tail gas and steam, operating a 27MW Co-Generation installed at its production facility in Cubatão for more than 15 years.

The activities are within the principles of sustainability. Ronaldo Silva Duarte points out that at the age of 60, the factory is constantly updating itself.

In Cubatão, the production capacity of carbon black is 210,000t/y. The industrial unit in Camaçari has a production capacity of 75,000t/y and also sells tail gas.

Tail gas is the result of the production of carbon black, which generates as a by-product a tail gas with sufficient energy power to be reused in the unit’s own production and cogeneration of electric power and steam, making the industrial units self-sufficient in energy, generating environmental and energy gains.

Among the new products launched by Birla Carbon on the market is the high performance carbon black for use by the pneumatic industry, reducing tire rolling resistance and minimizing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

Being one of the main business of the Indian Aditya Birla Group, it is present in 12 countries, on 5 continents, with 16 manufacturing units around the world. With production capacity of more than 2 million tons per year.

Indian group

The Aditya Birla Group is a leading global conglomerate in most of the segments in which it operates. Present in 35 countries on six continents with more than 130 manufacturing facilities and employing 120,000 people from 42 nationalities around the world. The acquisition of Columbian Chemicals Company in 2011 by the Black Smoke business of the Aditya Birla Group kevou the formation of Birla Carbon, becoming the global leader in the manufacture of Smoke Black. Present in each of the major markets in Asia, Europe and the Americas, Birla Carbon offers consistent quality products and services around the world. With a strong presence in South America, Birla Carbon has two factories in the country’s main industrial centers: in Cubatão, in the state of São Paulo, and in Camaçari, Bahia and offices in São Paulo.

Product enters the composition of tires

Known as Carbon Black, carbon black is one of the oldest chemicals, with records of its use more than 5,000 years ago when Chinese and Egyptians used the so-called “black powder” in murals and printing paints. Its composition is basically carbon, obtained from the thermal decomposition of oils rich in hydrocarbons. “Our product is an essential raw material for the manufacture of various products such as tires, rubber products and also plastics and paints,” explains engineer Roberto Ferreira, director of the Birla Carbon industrial unit in Cubatão.

Did you know?

1. Without carbon black, a rubber tire would not have durability to be used for more than 100km.

2. Electrical wires and cables are more efficient, safer and provide better power distribution thanks to carbon black.

3. Carbon black on tires means longer tread life, longer durability and greater safety.

4. The black glow that catches attention in any new car, truck, home appliances or cell phones is made possible by the use of carbon black.

5. Cell phones, televisions and other electronic devices are protected due to the ability of the carbon black to reduce the buildup of static force.

6. Many of the world’s banknotes contain ink made exclusively from Birla Carbon products.

“Industrial Pole of Cubatão has everything to keep growing”

Anibal do Vale, president of Unipar Carbocloro, foresees investments in the city

Installed since the 1960’s in Cubatão, Unipar Carbocloro has expanded activities to Argentina

“Industrial Pole of Cubatão has everything to continue growing, despite the political-economic crisis that the country is going through. It is organizing itself to receive new investments, industries that transform the products it manufactures in companies established since the 1960s “. The evaluation is by Anibal do Vale, president of Unipar Carbocloro, one of the largest chlorine-soda producing companies in Latin America, with subsidiaries in Santos André and Baía Blanca, Argentina.

Chlorine is one of the key products for attracting new companies to Cubatão and also a transforming chemical element in Brazil, where more than half of the population does not have basic sanitation.

“I believe that, in the short term, it is more difficult to implement a project to resume economic development and attract new companies to Cubatão because of the political-economic uncertainty that the country is experiencing due to the electoral period. , we would already have more industries in Cubatão.The city has everything to grow, free areas, raw materials, water and electric power in abundance, highways and railways and a diverse set of base industries.

Anibal do Vale, optimistically welcomes Cide-Ciesp’s initiative to organize the industrial polo condominium, which is developing the Cubatão Fábrica de Oportunidades Program in a synergistic action of common interests with industries and the City Hall.

“This partnership indicates that there is no accommodation in this period of turbulence in Cubatão, but a preparation for the resumption of the economy and a demonstration that Cubatão has many areas available to serve investors, so I see this initiative with the same optimism that has in the recovery of the Country, “he says.

“O Polo de Cubatão tem tudo para continuar crescendo”

Anibal do Vale, presidente da Unipar Carbocloro, prevê investimentos na Cidade

Instalada desde a década de 1960 em Cubatão, a Unipar Carbocloro expandiu atividades para a Argentina

“O Polo de Industrial de Cubatão tem tudo para continuar em crescimento, a despeito da crise político-econômica que o País atravessa. E está se organizando para receber novos investimentos, indústrias de transformação dos produtos que fabrica nas empresas instaladas desde a década de 1960”. A avaliação é de Anibal do Vale, presidente da Unipar Carbocloro, uma das maiores empresas produtoras de cloro-soda da América Latina, com filiais em Santos André e em Baía Blanca, Argentina.

Cloro é um dos produtos chaves para a atração de novas empresas para Cubatão e, também, um elemento químico transformador no Brasil, onde mais da metade da população não dispõe de saneamento básico.

“Creio que, a curto prazo, é mais difícil implantar um projeto de retomada do desenvolvimento econômico e de atração de novas empresas para Cubatão, por conta da incerteza político-econômica que o país atravessa, em razão do período eleitoral. Não fosse essa crise, já teríamos mais indústrias em Cubatão. A Cidade tem tudo para crescer, áreas livres, matérias-primas, água e energia elétrica em abundância, rodovias e ferrovias e um conjunto diversificado de indústrias de base”.

Anibal do Vale, vê com otimismo a iniciativa do Cide-Ciesp de se organizar na implantação do condomínio industrial do polo, que em uma ação sinérgica, de interesses comuns, com as indústrias e a Prefeitura, está desenvolvendo o Programa Cubatão Fábrica de Oportunidades.

“Essa parceria indica que não está havendo uma acomodação nesse período de turbulência, em Cubatão. Mas uma preparação para a retomada da economia e uma demonstração de que Cubatão tem muitas áreas disponíveis para atender investidores. Por isso, vejo essa iniciativa com o mesmo otimismo que tenha na recuperação do País”, assinala.

Cubatão Projects for 2019

Cubatão – The Opportunity Factory program, a partnership between Cide and Cubatão City Hall, will be announced by Investe São Paulo

Aimed at demonstrating that Cubatão is an Opportunities Factory for new investors, Mayor Ademário Oliveira and Deputy Mayor Pedro de Sá Filho announce the reserve of 2.64 million square meters of industrial poles ready to house products manufactured by the companies already installed in the City.

The objective is to prepare the Municipality for the resumption of industrial activities, with new developments, starting in 2019. The larger areas are ready to receive from port activities facing the Piaçaguera Canal (next to Usiminas), which is close to 1 million m2; industrial support companies intending to implement a Data Center and also a start-ups center (companies that are at the beginning of the market’s innovative activities) in the old residential Villa of the Henry Borden Plant (with 307,011.00 m2) in partnership with the State Government. The mayor said that he is personally committed to the State Public Prosecutor’s Office in search of an agreement that will finally allow the implementation of the Brastera Project for the Installation of Ceasa Regional in the lands with 929,627.71 m2 to the south of the municipality (facing the Highway of Immigrants , next to the Caraguatá Garden). The project has been stopped for 20 years.

“And their resumption will generate fomenting enterprises will destine areas for the environmental preservation of the mangrove region of the Laranjeira and Branco rivers, and as compensation they will donate landed lands for the construction by the CDHU of a thousand housing units that will be used for This contribution is essential to convince the MP to help our city”, says Ademário.

Investe São Paulo

According to Deputy Mayor Pedro de Sá, who is also Secretary of Planning, in addition to the City Hall to join the project of the Industrial Pole Condominium, managed by Cide, the secretariat will publicize the Cubatão Program – The Opportunities Factory at Investe São Paulo . The action is led by the State Government to show attractive municipalities of investments, seeking national and international partnerships.

The City still has areas with smaller size, but offering potential of proximity with the industries of base, like the old Post Paulínia (45 thousand m2), between Avenue Plínio de Queiroz and Rio Mogi; and the area of ​​the former factory of Companhia Santista de Papel, with 86,209.71. All the glebas features the proximity to the Imigrantes, Anchieta and Domneico Rangoni canyons. And with railroad extensions installed in the geographic region of Cubatão and the Mogi River Valley, the fertilizer, petrochemical and chemical plants and condominiums of Cesari.

Municipal government works to resume Ceasa Regional project in front of Immigrants area

Área of ​​the plant can develop Industry 4.0 in the City

According to Deputy Mayor Pedro de Sá Filho, one of the projects developed in partnership with Cide Industrial Condominium already involves negotiations with the municipality of Usiminas to install a port at Furadinho Dam, one of the areas with 465,264.71 m2 belonging to Usiminas and situated in front of the Canal de Piaçaguera. In addition to the other nearby areas, the areas offer close to 1.5 million m2. The port is planned from the perfection of a proposal of the Investe São Paulo Program in 2012, but never left the paper.

“In this contact that brings investors closer to Usiminas, the City will not do anything, it only acts as an inducement to progress, as is the attraction of other investors and in negotiations, for example, with the Secretary of Energy of the State Government, in the use of the old residential areas of the Henry Borden Plant”, explains Sá Filho. The City Hall wants to make life easier for those who are interested in investing in the city, so that this investment happens in Cubatão and not elsewhere, “he adds. He is also interested in bringing investors interested in installing a Data Center in the preserved areas of old houses of the Henry Borden Mill, mostly unoccupied.

Data Center is a designed environment where an organization’s data storage and processing equipment is located. It can host thousands of servers, databases and other components. “With this flagship pulling other companies maybe we will not start a start up incubator? We have companies in the City – like Braskem and Petrobras – involved in this innovation process.” The purpose is to make way for Industry 4.0 in the City. Dates Centers need a larger volume and guaranteed uninterrupted power supply. “I have been in contact with Energy Secretary José Carlos Meireles and he has assured that the plant supplies this supply and, if necessary, the State builds a gas-fired thermoelectric plant to guarantee the quality of electricity transmission.” The deputy mayor ensures that this project maintains the Municipal School of the Henry Borden Plant. “Our dream is to transform Cubatão into a kind of Silicon Valley in the USA.”

Cide and City Hall searching for investiments

Valdir José Caobianco, executive director of Cide; mayor Ademário Oliveira; Deputy Mayor Pedro de Sá Filho; and Valmir Ruiz, executive manager of Cide, drivers of the program “Cubatão – A Fábrica de Oportunidades”

A partnership signed between Cubatão City Hall and the polo industries transformed the Center for Integration and Development (Cide), as a trustee of the Industrial Pole condominium, through contacts with investors and companies interested in installing transformation industries in the city, using raw materials manufactured by local base industries.

The agreement, which continues the “Cubatão – A Fábrica de Oportunidades” program, was consolidated between mayor Ademário Oliveira and Cide’s executive director, Valdir José Caobianco, on Wednesday. The event is supported by the Center of Industries of the State of São Paulo (Ciesp) – Cubatão Regional.

Cide, as trustee of the industrial condominium of the polo, receives in its premises representatives of companies and investors, in close relations with the Secretary of Planning of the City Hall, Pedro de Sá Filho (who is also vice mayor of the city ). He selected areas in Cubatão with potential for the installation of new projects, indicating detailed locations on an exposed map of the Ciesp Cubatão region, showing advantages offered by neighborhoods with base industries, road and rail access, and the City’s fiscal incentives for investors . Groups interested in knowing the areas and incentives will be received at the Cide by the manager of the two entities, Valmir Ramos Ruiz (contacts by phone 13 3361-1388). He will assist investors, conduct contacts with the City Hall and detail the proposals to support the public authorities, through Pedro de Sá Filho.

The partnership strengthens Cide’s condominium, acting as a contact facilitator and associate agent to reduce share costs common to all partners, as already occurs in the relationship with the base industries. Launched in March, during a seminar at the Brazilian Chemical Industry Association (Abiquim) in São Paulo, the industrial condominium follows strategic planning similar to association organizations of purposes installed there in other industrial centers, within the principles established by Agenda 21.

“We are convinced that Cubarte’s industrial complex, under the management of Cide, is fully prepared to receive new processing industries. With excellent logistics infrastructure, quality raw materials for its large companies, skilled labor and integration with public authority, commerce, organs and communities, the municipality offers the best conditions for revitalizing the country’s industrial sector, “says Valdir José Caobianco, executive director of the Center for Integration and Development (Cide).

Region has advantage

Valdir José Caobianco points out 11 reasons for new companies to settle in the Polo de Cubatão. The main objective of the polo industries, already integrated with Cide’s condominial management, is to develop a permanent campaign to attract new enterprises that complement the base industry already installed in the Municipality since the 60’s.

The base industry manufactures products that are used by other industries called processing industries because they use the basic inputs to produce fine materials put on the market. One example: basic materials companies, such as Usiminas, manufacture steel sold to the manufacturing industries to produce automobiles, refrigerators, civil construction profiles, among others. The City and Cide are committed to showing businessmen from Brazil and abroad that Cubatão still has many free areas in its territory to install industries that transform the base products manufactured in the city, such as fertilizers, rubber chemicals, oxygen, chlorine and derivatives, among others.

The positive side of this industrial actor is that it generates new jobs for residents of all the region and increases the tax collection of the City Hall, for execution of new works in the City.

“Cubatão is a factory of opportunities for the development of the Industry,” says Caobianco. The polo companies are associated with the Ademário Government, with the implementation of a condominium managed by Cide, to unite in a synergistic way (with the same objectives) the search for cost reduction in strategic interests common to already established companies and future entrepreneurs , as security through the Mutual Assistance Plan, human resources, legal issues, medical services and community dialogue actions through the Consultative Community Council (CCC) of the Cubatão Complex.

Among the highlights of the 11 reasons to receive investments, the polo – which already has 12 major industries in the petrochemical, chemical, steel and fertilizer sectors – has an abundant range of energy (including thermoelectric plants) and water, besides of complete logistics network with highways, railroads, coastal port services (with three nearby ports) and access facilities to the airports of the State Capital. These logistical alternatives link industries to the interior of São Paulo and to other states.

Cide offers tax incentives

Availability of areas for new companies in Cubatão

For Mayor Ademário Oliveira, “Cubatão is a city ready for new investments”. And disrespect to the crisis that still lives, it has land with free areas and ready to receive new facilities of industries and companies. With the support of Cide-Ciesp and landowners in the city, the municipal secretariat of Planning, led by Deputy Mayor Pedro de Sá Filho, pointed out the existence of at least 2,365 million areas in 12 lands and sectors ready to deploy transformation.

Technical knowledge, historical evidence and hardworking labor in the implantation of industries are not lacking. Cubatão was the first petrochemical center in the country, located less than 70 km from the capital. In its territories, the first state refinery built by Petrobras was installed in the 1950s, in the wake of the establishment of chemical industries, one of the largest steel mills in the country and a pioneer fertilizer park, as well as producing chlorine and gases medicinal products. Cubatão already had the highest public per capita income in the country.

“But the old managements of municipal governments failed to translate this wealth into welfare for the population. And the economic crisis installed since 2015 worsened the recession, leading to the suspension of industrial activities that mainly affected primary steel production and led to the drastic reduction of jobs”, says Ademário.

Now, according to the mayor, besides the City structure, located near the Port of Santos and the Capital of São Paulo, companies that settle in Cubatão will have as incentives, depending on the degree of investment, the exemption of IPTU and ISS.

“We have a specific planning sector to receive new investments and priority attention to reduce bureaucracy in the processes, by our deputy mayor and now with the support of Cide-Ciesp.”

The integration of the Pole of Cubatão is essential for the sustainable development of all industries installed in the region. Braskem believes in the potential of this industrial pole, therefore it supports all actions and proposals that stimulate the synergies that may still take place in favor of the grownth of the industry and the municipality, especally when dealing with the issues of safety, health, and the environment.

Ronaldo Silva Duarte

An Industrial Pole without synergy is a reflection of society that lacks organization. The integration in as Industrial Pole is a great opportunity to generate synergies with focus on the sustainable growth of companies, benefiting the surrounding society, with lower environmental impact and, consequently, improved quality of life.

Birla Carbon Brasil Ltda. has been present for over 60 years in the Pole of Cubatão and it believes that development is only possible with efforts from all sectors of society, driven by investiments and synergies that may contribute in the generation of jobs.

Ronaldo Silva Duarte

Um Polo Industrial sem sinergia é reflexo de uma sociedade pouco organizada. A integração em um Polo Industrial é uma grande oportunidade para gerar sinergias com foco no crescimento sustentável das empresas, beneficiando a sociedade ao redor, com menor impacto ambiental e, consequentemente, melhor qualidade de vida. A Birla Carbon Brasil Ltda. está presente há mais de 60 anos no Polo de Cubatão e acredita que o desenvolvimento só é possível com esforços de todos os setores da sociedade, impulsionado por investimentos e sinergias que possam contribuir na geração de empregos.
