The technical concept of the plant has been developed keeping in view the state-of-art
technology in size reduction & communition as well as an effective control on the level of
pollution for the PPC, PSC & OPC grinding unit at- Kalinganagar Industrial Complex,
District- Jajpur, Odisha. The technical concept has been developed and discussed in the
subsequent paragraphs.
Clinker, gypsum and wet slag from storage will be transported to respective feed hoppers
with the help of belt conveyors. Measured quantities of clinker, gypsum and wet slag in
desired proportion will be fed to the Vertical roller mill (VRM). Weigh feeders will be
installed under each feed hopper to ensure accurate measurement of input quantities of
materials to the mill. While producing PPC Fly ash of desired dosage will be extracted from
fly ash silo and pneumatically transported and fed through a solid flow meter to the mill
otherwise the Ground cement will be stored in a separate silo.
Wet Slag receipt from steel plant will have a average moisture of 16% and requires hot gas
for evaporating the moisture while grinding. It is proposed to install a Fluidised bed coal
based Hot air Generator (HAG) of capacity 16 Million Kcal/hr to drive out the moisture in
wet Slag. Indigenous Coal / Imported coal / Petcoke will be used as a fuel in Hot air
Generator. Fuel for HAG will be stored in a closed shed of capacity 500 MT. One Coal
crusher also will be installed for crushing the fuel before using it in HAG.
A highly energy efficient Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) will be installed to produce OPC, PPC
and PSC. Clinker, gypsum and wet slag from storage will be transported to respective feed
hoppers with the help of belt conveyors. Measured quantities of clinker, gypsum, Fly ash and
Slag in desired proportions for the respective product will be fed to VRM. Weigh feeders will
be installed under each feed hopper to ensure accurate measurement of input quantities of
materials to the mill. While producing PPC, Fly ash of desired dosage will be extracted from
fly ash silo and fed through a solid flow meter to the mill. VRM is a compact machine which
performs grinding and classification in single equipment. VRM has in-built Classifier for
Page 26

Odisha
adjusting the product fineness and Particle size distribution of final product. The fine material
collected in bag filters will be transported to respective product silos, where it is stored.
Cement stored in silos will be packed in 50 kg bags using electronic packers. We propose to
install four numbers of double discharge electronic rotary packers with a packing capacity of
180 Metric tonnes per hour. Apart from the facility to pack cement in bags, there will be
facility to load cement in bulker so that it can be dispatched in bulk. Facilities to despatch
cement packed in bags through rail (about 90%) and road are proposed. We propose 16
numbers of truck loading machines and 12 numbers of wagon loading machines to load the
cement bags into trucks and wagons respectively. Wagon loading system will be designed to
load full rake at a time.
All point sources and material transfer points are provided with Bag Filters to control SPM
emission <30 mg/Nm3. The dust collected from the Bag Filters will be recycled in the PPC
Cement manufacturing process and thus, no solid waste generation.

Process water is required only for cooling purposes and hence no waste water will be
generated from the plant.
Wastewater generation will be mainly due to the sanitary wastewater generated due to
domestic uses. There will be ‘zero discharge’ from the proposed plant and there will not be
any contamination of surface water bodies or ground water due to effluent discharges.
No hazardous waste will be generated either in the process or pollution control facilities. Dust
collected from air pollution control equipment will be 100% recycled in the process and there
will be no solid wastes in the plant. Sludge from settling tank of water treatment plant will be
used as manure for greenbelt development. All domestic waste will be routed to septic tank
and then to soak pit.
Waste oil in small quantities will be generated from gear box and other machineries and will
be disposed off to authorized recyclers registered with Pollution Control Board.
The noise generation from the slag cement grinding plant can be broadly categorized into two
type’s viz. Area and Point sources. All the equipment used can be categorized as point
sources and the vehicular traffic movement can be treated as area source. All the equipment is
Page 41
M/s. The Ramco Cement Limited
Pre- Feasibility Report for Proposed 0.9 MTPA Cement Grinding Unit At: Haridaspur, Dist- Jajpur,
Odisha
designed to comply with the International Norms, Rules and Stipulations on not exceed 75
dB (A).
All these noise generating equipment will be within the buildings and the presence of workers
at these equipment is either not required or Intermittent. People required for intermittent
work near high noise generating equipment will be provided with earplugs and their working
hours in these areas will be regulated.
The noise levels at the periphery of the plant will be well within the stipulated norms of noise
pollution.
A greenbelt development plan will be prepared and implemented along with the project.
The main objective of the greenbelt is to provide a barrier between the plant and the
surrounding areas. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emissions and to attenuate the
noise generated in the plant apart from improving the aesthetics of the plant site.
The Greenbelt will be adequately sized and will have a suitable density so as to mitigate the
effects of emissions from the plant. The treated effluents from the plants will be utilized for
the greenbelt development.
The landscaping of the plant will be carried out. Roads for vehicular movement will be paved
and adequate mitigation measures will be provided to prevent fugitive emissions.

CHAPTER – 05
PLANNING BRIEF
Cement to Be Produced
Portland Slag Cement (PSC) is a mixture of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and
ground granulated slag. The granulated slag content 70 % of Portland slag cement.
PSC can be manufactured either by inter-grinding or separate grinding process. In this process
Slag & Clinker shall be separately ground in Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) and stored in
separate Silo. Both ground Slag & Clinker shall be mixed in continuous mixer in a pre decided
proportion. The product (PSC) shall be stored in separate silos. Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) is
energy efficient and it will be adopted for manufacturing of PSC.
Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag is granulated blast furnace slag, ground to very
high fineness. Granulated blast furnace slag is obtained during the manufacturing
process of Iron/Steel in blast furnace. When the molten slag at 1400-1500 ⁰C is tapped
and subjected to a special process of quenching it forms granules which are called
granulated slag. Slag, ground to very high fineness is called Ground Granulated Blast
Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and the same GGBFS is blended with OPC to produce PSC.
PSC can be used in all construction work, where OPC is used e.g. in general building
work including reinforced concrete, for water-retaining structure and for precast
Page 45

products such as concrete pipes etc. However, the following special characteristics may be
attributed to PSC when compared with OPC.
OPC Manufacturing
The Ordinary Portland Pozzolana cement will be produced by inter-grinding of clinker along
with gypsum in a Vertical Roller Mill. Around 95% clinker, 5% Gypsum is ground in Vertical
Roller Mill and finished product is transported to silo.
All type of cement shall be stored in separate silos and extracted as per requirement and
packed.
A most modern and technologically advanced Laboratory having all required facilities for
physical and chemical testing will be provided for the proposed plant, which will aid in
producing the highest quality of cement. Highly accurate weighing systems will be used for
controlling input materials for cement mills, for ensuring uniform and constant plant
operation, which are essential to maintain good and uniform quality of cement.

CHAPTER – 08
PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATES
8.1 Project Schedule
In the cement industry, any one of the following three alternate modes of project execution is
adopted:
Turnkey
Semi Turnkey
Packaged procurement mode
In the turnkey mode, there is one implementing agency for the project having the total
responsibility. Hence, the project cost is the highest and at the same time, control on timely
execution is also high. The project cost is minimum in the last mode, also known as shopping
mode, where different items (major machinery or auxiliary; clubbed section wise or type
wise) of the project form the different packages, which are considered for procurement. Thus
control on timely execution is lowest. The semi turnkey mode falls in between the above two
modes, having 4 to 6 packages for procurement and construction & erection and is therefore
the most preferred mode.
Based on the consideration of cost and time, the package procurement mode will be followed,
by clubbing various activities to the extent possible.
Planning of Activities
Careful planning of all the activities is one of the pre-requisite for timely completion of the
project. Following activities will be given special attention
