DNL has five manufacturing facilities at different locations in the Western part of India. These facilities have a locational advantage of being within six hours from a major port which is logistically advantageous for inward shipments of raw materials as well as outward shipments of finished goods.

The company manufactures Inorganic, Oraganic and Fine & Speciality chemicals. There are two units in the state of Gujarat and three units in the state of Maharashtra. The Inorganic Chemicals are produced at one of the facilities in Gujarat while the Organic and Fine & Speciality chemicals are produced at the other facilities. One of the facilities is devoted to the activity of Hydrogenation and Reductive Alkylation. Each of the facilities has DCS controlled operations. The company’s main strengths are Nitration, Chlorination and Hydrogenation. The company also has the technical capabilities to carry out the following reactions at its plants.

	Acylation		High Pressure/ Temperature Oxidations
	Alkali Fusion		High Temperature Fusion Reactions
	Alkylation		Hydrogenation
	Amination		Nitration
	Chlronation		0xidative Bromination
	Diazotisation		Reductive alkylation
	Esterification		Sulphonation

The manufacturing facilities are more than adequately equipped to handle bulk hazardous Raw materials like Benzene, Toluene, Xylene, Ammonia, Conc. Nitric Acid, Conc. Sulphuric Acid, Chlorine and Sulphur Trioxide. A regular review of the Safety measures and HAZOP study is undertaken to ensure that the plants and those working there are protected.

Each manufacturing facility has a proper ETP to ensure that the COD and BOD levels of the discharge are maintained as per the prescribed standards set by the Pollution Control Boards. The Pollution of Flue or Vent gases is monitored on a daily basis as per the standards prescribed by the Ministry of Forests & Environment in each plant. The Inorganic chemicals are largely the Nitrites, Nitrates, Blowing Agents, Hydroxylamine derivatives and Guanidine Nitrate. The Organic chemicals are Nitrochlorobenzenes, Nitrotoluenes, Toluidines, DEMAP, Resorcinol and Xylidines.

The products manufactured at these facilities cater to a spectrum of industries like Pharmaceuticals, Colourants, Agrochemicals, Cosmetics, Water Treatment & Corrision preventation, Rubber and Refineries.
