EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
E-1 BACKGROUND
The chemical industries have always played major role in the economic
development of the country. Gujarat, being an industrialized State,
has a significant contribution in industrial as well as economic
development of the country. Besides, necessary infrastructure;
availability of natural resources like water, mineral oil, natural gas;
market potential; and ease of export/import of raw materials and
finished products have also resulted in the substantial growth of
industries in the State. Many industries are of polluting nature hence,
it is essential to take adequate measures to maintain desirable
environmental quality in the area.
Location of Project
The unit will be located at Block No. 164 to 170, Village: Vedach,
Taluka: Jambusar, Dist: Bharuch, State: Gujarat. The location of the
project site is given here under in terms of longitude and latitude.
Longitude: 22009’21.04” N
Latitude: 72051’19.08” E
Elevation from sea level is 20 meter.
The proposed location will be set up at industrial state–Jambusar
which is about 80 km from Vadodara and 40 km from Bharuch. The
nearest airport is Vadodara.
Site Selection
The proposed project site will be located outside the notified area. The
selection of the project site at this location was considered on the
availability of the following amenities.
• Availability of all basic facilities like fuel, water, power, man
power, raw materials, etc.
Alternative Locations
The project location was determined by proximity to consumers and
suppliers; suitability of transportation facilities; proximity to an
existing effluent disposal facilities; and availability of existing
infrastructure such as power, roads, telecommunications and water.
Before finalizing the location, management has studied alternative
locations in Gujarat and concluded that the selected Industrial area is
most advantages because of its ready consumer access and availability
of infrastructure.

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at Six AAQM
locations, with a frequency of twice a week continuously for three
months, to assess the existing sub-regional air quality status in winter
season. The Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine particulate sampler
along with the analytical methods prescribed by CPCB were used for
carrying out air quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations;
PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable
the comparison with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the
Central Pollution Control Board.
pH: All the samples meet the desirable standards (pH ranges from 6.9
to 7.3).
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS in samples ranges from 996 mg/l
(Gajera) to 1196 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples meet the
permissible limit of 2000 mg/l.
The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 53.1
to 61.9 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near Bus stop Vavadi
(61.9 dB (A)) while the Leq values of noise levels during night time
(Ln) varied between40.0 to 53.2 dB (A). Highest Ln value was
recorded at Bus stop Vavadi (53.2 dB (A)).
Air Environment
The main point sources will be flue gas emission from the stacks
attached to boilers, thermic fluid heater and hot air generators due to
combustion of bio fuel (Briquettes) and process gas emissions i.e.
ammonia gas, from the two reactor vessels.
Since Bio fuel will be used as fuel, comparatively less pollution will be
generated. However, the unit proposes to install dust collector to each
of the stacks.
Chimney heights have been chosen such that the generated pollutants
disperse effectively and ensure that the ground level concentrations of
pollutants in the surrounding environment remain well within the
permissible limits. The unit proposes to provide adequate stack height
of 30.0 m and 15.0 m respectively to flue gas stacks and process gas
stacks.
To minimize fugitive emission, the unit has adopted the practice of
carrying out entire manufacturing process into closed vessel as well as
provided adequate scrubbing system for efficient absorption of process
gas.
Special care is also taken while material handling and storage. To
reduce the pollutant emission during transportation, the unit has
adopted the practice of regular check up and maintenance of vehicular
engines for complete combustion of the fuel.
In the present study, the mathematical model that has been used for
prediction on air quality includes steady state Gaussian Plume
Dispersion model designed for multiple point sources.
The unit will do plantation in around 11220 sq. m, which will be around
33% of total land area.

A) Liquid Effluent
Effluent likely to be generated after proposed project will be divided
mainly into three streams, i.e.,
(i) concentrated stream (i.e. ML of acidic treatment of CPC Blue)
(ii) general/weak stream from manufacturing activities of other
product from Manufacturing stream
(iii) Effluent from the utility section i.e. DM plant regeneration, cooling
bleed off, boiler blow down etc.
The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent Treatment Plant consisting
of primary and secondary treatment facilities within premises and after
treatment entire quantity of treated effluent will be conveyed to estuary
of Mahi River. The details of industrial wastewater generation are
depicted in Table-2.2.
B) Gaseous Emissions
The main source of air pollution will be flue gas stacks and process gas
stacks. There will be three nos. of flue gas stacks which will be attached
to the boilers (2 nos.), Thermic Fluid Heaters (3 nos.) and Hot air
generators (3 nos.) where bio fuel (briquettes) will be used as fuel.
Whereas two nos. of reactors where ammonia gas will be liberated.
Adequate stack height of the 30.0 mt and 15.0 mt will be provided
respectively to each of the flue gas stacks and process gas stacks for
proper dispersion of gaseous emission.
The details of the flue gas stacks and process gas stacks are given in
Table-2.3.
C) Fugitive Emission
There will also be chances of the fugitive emission due to handling of
process gas emission and hazardous chemicals as well as due to
liberation of the excess solvents from the reactors.
However, to prevent the same the unit will take all the precautionary
measures like adequate scrubbing system to absorb the process gas and
to carry out entire process in the closed reactors, etc.
D) Hazardous/ Solid waste
The main source of hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge from
the Effluent Treatment facilities. The other sources will be discarded
barrels/bags/liners/drums and spent/waste oil from the material
handling and storage and plant & machinery.
The details of the hazardous waste are given Table-2.4.
E) Noise
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech
and hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise
annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has
an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can
also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system. Sound is mechanical
energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by cyclic series of
compression and rarefaction of molecules of the materials through which
it passes.
Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids and solids. The number
of compressions and rarefactions of the air molecules in the unit of time
is described as its frequency. Frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz),
which is the same as the number of cycles per second.
The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent Treatment Plant within
premises comprising of primary and secondary treatment facilities to
treat industrial effluent likely to be generated after proposed project.
After meeting effluent discharge norms, entire quantity of industrial
effluent will be discharged into ECP channel of Mahi River.
The stream wise brief description of effluent treatment scheme is given
hereunder,
The clear supernatant from PST will be sent to the aeration tank having
floating diffusion aeration system for secondary treatment.
The over flow of aeration tank with biomass will be go to the Secondary
Setting Tank where settled biomass is partly recycled back to the
aeration tank and partly wasted out in sludge sump. The over flow of the
Secondary Settling Tank is collected to final Treated Water Sump and
subjected to the tertiary treatment by passing through sand filter and
carbon filter prior to the final disposal.
The details of Effluent Treatment Units are given in Table: 2.5. The
schematic flow diagram of Effluent Treatment Plant is given in Figure:
2.3.
Generated acidic water contains (NH4)2SO4 and some part of urea which
is responsible for Ammonical nitrogen in the effluent. We Will isolate
acidic effluent stream which contains ammonical nitrogen, and use to
scrub the gases (which contain ammonia and carbon dioxide). This acidic
filtrate will absorb ammonia and convert it to ammonium sulfate. As the
pH of this filtrate goes from 2 pH towards 7 pH, we will add more sulfuric
acid for faster reaction.
This will resulted in about 20% ammonium sulfate solution which we will
recover as by product by concentrating through multiple effect
evaporators. There by the effluent stream containing ammonical nitrogen
will be dealt separately and will not go to our effluent treatment plant.
Generated Ammonium Sulphate will be sold to actuak users.
Adequate stack height of 30.0 m to each of the flue gas stacks and 15.0
m to each of process gas will be provided for proper dispersion of the
gaseous emission and minimizing the impact of air pollution at ground
level.
This will resulted in about 20% ammonium sulfate solution which we will
recover as by product by concentrating through multiple effect
evaporators.
The unit proposes ground water recharging sump at low lying area which
will be connected to the storm water drainage system. Thus, by
recharging the ground water during the rain, unit wills efforts to balance
ground water. Unit proposes to create 2 Nos of percolating well in law
lying green area of plant.
The unit proposes to provide apprx. 11220 sq.m area for green belt
which will be 33 % of the total area of the premises.

The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified on
the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various process
operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely to be
discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air quality. The
baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions of the area
surrounding the project site have been generated through an
appropriately designed network for and monitoring of ambient air quality
(NAAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.
The following criteria were taken into account while designing the ambient
air quality-monitoring network:
3.2.2 Reconnaissance
Windrose
The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind direction
and speed collected for winter season in the study area. The same, as
depicted in Figure 3.6, shows the predominant wind directions are NNW,
NW, N, NNE, and ESE implying that winds come from these directions for
most of the time during the period. The wind speed class 1-5 kmph
occurred for 32.0 %, 6-10 kmph about 18.47 %, 11-15 kmph 13.89 %
and above 15 kmph and below 35 kmph occurred for 9.46 % of the study
duration and of the time. The calm condition (below 1 kmph) observed is
26.18 % of the time. The wind data generated at site were also compared
with the climatological data obtained from the closest Indian
Meteorological Department (IMD) station at Ahmedabad. The local
prevailing wind pattern during the study period is in conformity with the
Temperature
Relative Humidity
During study period at project site during study period, the maximum
relative humidity was recorded as 73.1% and minimum as 15.3%.
Rainfall
No rainfall during the study period at project site.
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at Six AAQM locations,
with a frequency of twice a week continuously for three months, to assess
the existing sub-regional air quality status in winter season. The
Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine particulate sampler along with the
analytical methods prescribed by CPCB were used for carrying out air
quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and
NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with
ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control
Board.
The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HC and
VOCs are presented in Tables 3.2 to 3.7 along with statistical analysis;
represent the cross sectional distribution of baseline air quality status of
the study region.
The only source of recharging for both surface and groundwater source is
from precipitation (rainfall).
Color: All the samples were color less meeting desirable norms.
pH: All the samples meet the desirable standards (pH ranges from 6.9 to
7.3).
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS in samples ranges from 996 mg/l
(Gajera) to 1196 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples meet the
permissible limit of 2000 mg/l.
Total Alkalinity: Total alkalinity in the water samples ranges from 208
mg/l (Vedach) to 333 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples are within the
permissible limit of drinking water (600 mg/l).
The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 53.1 to
61.9 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near Bus stop Vavadi (61.9 dB
(A)) while the Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied
between40.0 to 53.2 dB (A). Highest Ln value was recorded at Bus stop
Vavadi (53.2 dB (A)).
3.4.5 Conclusions
The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area
show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement,
commercial and domestic activities in the study area. Generally noise
levels in public places like hospital, temples and community hall have
higher values in day time as per Residential area limit of 55 dB (A) but it
is less than Commercial area limit of 65 dB (A).
Ambient standards both for Ld and Ln with respect to noise applicable for
residential area during day - time {55 dB (A)} and night-time {45 dB (A)}
are not always met at all locations.
3.5.1 Introduction
The study area has primarily Grey Brown Aridisols type of soil. The soils of
this type basically originate from alluvium rocks. According to texture
classification, this belongs to Clay Loam category. This type of soil has
moderate permeability and water retention capacity. This soil has
moderate erosion potential.
Chemical Parameters
pH: pH was determined by taking 1:5 ratio of soil and distilled water. pH
of soils in the study area is found to be in the range of 7.2 to 7.6 The soils
of the study area are neutral in nature.
Chloride: Chloride content in soils of the study area is found to be in the
range of 95 to137 mg/kg.
Calcium: The calcium as CaCO3 in soil samples is found to be in the range
of 41 to 119 mg/kg
Magnesium: Magnesium content in soil samples of the study area ranges
from46 to 55 mg/kg.
Available Phosphorus: Available Phosphorus content in soil samples of
the study area ranges from 139 to 161 mg/kg.
Available Nitrogen: Available nitrogen content in soil samples of the
study area is found to be in the range from 182 to 196mg/kg.
Potassium: Potassium content in soil samples of the study area is found
to be in the range from 52 to 95 mg/kg.
Sodium: Sodium content in soil samples of the study area is found to be
in the range from 98 to 105 mg/kg.
Total Organic Matter (TOM): Total organic matter content in soil
samples of the study area is found to be in the range of 1.31 to1.47
mg/kg.
Boron: Boron is found absent in the soil samples of the study area.
3.6 Terrestrial Ecology (Flora)
The structure and type of vegetation depends on climatic conditions and
physiography of an area. Climate of the study area is arid to semi arid and
suited for the growth of selected variety of vegetation.
The contents of this subsection are based secondary data obtain from local
forest department. List of floral diversity is presented in Table 3.14.
3.6.1 Common Crop Plants
Common cultivated crop plants in the study area include: Rabi season
(January to March) - wheat, mustard, jeera; April to June -juvar, bajra,
gram and Kharif (July to October) - paddy; Sugar cane and vegetables are
also grown at some places.
3.6.2 Ecological Stresses
Human needs for settlement and commercial activities like farming,
industries, infrastructure (roads, canals, power lines, railways etc.) have
forced him to encroach on natural vegetation i.e. forests. Even the open
areas left for plantation/green cover at times have been occupied by
encroachers/slums resulting in stress on environment.
3.6.3 Terrestrial Wild Life
Because of being in arid / semi arid zone and lack of well developed forest
cover, the study area lacks in mammalian life and is the home of dry,
scrub jungle loving animals, best suited to the climate of arid and open
land. Avifauna and reptiles found in the study area and area around it.
This is compiled on the basis of sighting during field survey in the area
and also from the information collected from villagers and forest personnel
working in the area.
3.6.4 Fauna
Table 3.15 depicts the zoological name and abundance rating of wild
animals found in the study area and its adjoining area.
meter gauge line is passing nearby and also has stations. Majority of
villages in the study area is connected with pucca road.
Power Supply
As per 2001 census record out all the villages are getting power supply for
all purposes.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation
Measures
4.1 GENERAL
The impact assessment has been addressed for the following attributes,
which may get affected due to the proposed activities of the project.
Impact on topography;
Impact on Noise;
The project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and
construction of the plant and storage facilities. The area of the proposed
plant is flat. Very minor or no Leveling would be required for the
construction of the proposed plant. No tree plantation affected since plant
will be come in industrial area. During the construction, excavated soil will
be restored to its original shape. Thus the impact during the construction is
reversible, for short terms and insignificant.
The source of air emission during the construction will include dust from
site cleaning and construction activity and dust from excavation of the
plant area. These emissions are expected to result in change in baseline air
quality, primarily in the working area only. Dust and other emissions are
not likely to spread in wider area, which would affect homes and other
properties. Dust will generate within working areas and measures will need
to protect workers. To mitigate the impact due to Suspended Particulate
Matter (SPM), regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the
construction activities.
In the present study, the mathematical model that has been used for
predictions on air quality includes steady state Gaussian Plume Dispersion
model designed for multiple point sources.
The impacts on air quality from any project depend on various factors like
design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be
used, air pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart
from the above, other activities associated with any project, viz.,
transportation of raw materials and finished products, storage facilities and
material handling within the plant premises may also contribute to air
pollution.
4.4.4 Emissions
In the operational unit Bio Fuel (Briquettes) will be used for Boiler, Thermic
fluid heater and Hot air generator. The rate of fuel consumption and other
details are shown in Table 4.1.
Since the bio fuel will be used, the gaseous emission will be well within
GPCB norms and simultaneously, there will be less impact on the air
Environment due to fuel combustion. The unit also proposes to provide
adequate scrubbing system to the reactors so that ammonia emission will
also be well within the GPCB norms. However, similar types of stacks were
monitored to get the information about emission characteristics including
the emission rates of SPM, SO2 and NOx. The emission rates of SPM, SO2
and NOx and effluent gas characteristics as well as stack details for the
proposed units are presented in Table 4.1. A built-in scrubber will be
installed with spray dryer system. Fugitive emissions of organic gases may
occur through the leaks from pumps, valves etc. However, the industry
being of small scale the fugitive emissions and their impacts would be
negligible.
4.4.5 Micrometeorology
The hourly wind speed, solar insolation and total cloudiness during day
time and wind speed and total cloudiness during night time were used to
determine the hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by Pasquill and
Gifford as A to F, A being most unstable and F being most stable). The
hourly stability classes were determined based on the technique suggested
by Turner.
- For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling
<7000 ft (2134 m), NR=0
a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2
b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1
If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification = -1, and let modified value
of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1
4.4.6 Air Quality Modeling and Predictions using the Gaussian Model
The impact on air quality due to emissions from single source or group of
sources is evaluated by use of mathematical models. When air pollutants
are emitted into the atmosphere, they are immediately diffused into
surrounding atmosphere, transported and diluted due to winds. The air
quality models are designed to simulate these processes mathematically
and to relate emissions of primary pollutants to the resulting downwind air
quality. The inputs include emissions, meteorology and surrounding
topographic details to predict the impacts of conservative pollutants.
The impacts of air pollutants were predicted using Gaussian air dispersion
model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple point sources
within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the project site.
The Gaussian air dispersion model has been developed to simulate the
effect of emissions from point sources on air quality. Gaussian model
extensively used for predicting the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) of
conservative pollutants from point, area and volume sources. The impacts
of primary air pollutants are predicted using this air quality model keeping
in view the plain terrain at the project site. The micrometeorological data
monitored at project site during study period have been used in this model.
- Terrain adjustments
- Stack-tip downwash
In the present case, prediction of impacts has been carried out December-
2010 to February-2011 on 24-hourly basis in the entire study area of 10
km radius using the Gaussian model.
Gaussian air dispersion models were used to estimate the ambient air
quality levels at different monitoring stations due to stack emissions. Only
two stability conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used to
calculate the theoretical maximum ground level concentration. Comparing
the actual data and data generated from mathematical modeling, it
highlights that the stability condition E & A-B were predominant in the
region. The maximum ground level concentration of SPM, SO2, NOX & NH3
were away from the source. Using the estimated stack emission data and
wind speed directions, a mathematical model was prepared to establish the
ground level concentration in the region.
Construction phase
Operational Phase
The main source of the water will be ground water. The unit will install its
own bore wells within premises to satisfy its fresh water demand.
Necessary permission will be obtained from CGWA.
The fresh water demand will be for domestic, gardening and industrial
purpose. Industrial purpose includes water demand for boiler, cooling,
process, washing and RO reject, etc.
The estimated total quantity of the fresh water requirement will be 683.0
KLD. Figure-2.1 in Chapter 2 provides water balance of the proposed
project. However, efforts have to be made to conserve water as much as
possible. Also Chapter 5 proposes some additional mitigation measures to
minimise the raw water consumption. In view of these factors the impact
on water environment due to water use is assessed to be insignificant.
Wastewater stream is divided into two parts (i) concentrated stream and
(ii) General stream.
The COD/BOD concentration in the influent of the plant ETP will be about
2000-2500 mg/L and 800-1000 mg/L respectively. After treatment COD/
BOD concentration in the effluent becomes COD: 150-250 mg/L and BOD:
40-50 mg/L whereas the TDS in the influent is reduced by approximately
10% in the effluent. Details of effluent quality are given in Table 2.6. The
ETP flow diagram is given in Fig. 2.2 of chapter-2.
The unit will make all efforts to minimize the quantity of wastewater
generation by adopting proper segregation, collection and treatment
philosophy to ensure that the effluent disposal shall have minimal impacts
on the receiving environment. Thus, considering the treatment facilities
proposes by the unit, it can be said that there would be chances of minor
impact on the water environment.
The noise produced during construction may have significant impact on the
existing ambient noise levels. The major work will be carried out during the
daytime. The construction equipment may generate high noise, which can
affect the personnel operating the machines. Use of proper personal
protective equipments will mitigate any adverse impact of noise generated
by such equipment.
materials will be in the range of 90-100 dB(A) and this will occur only when
all the equipment operate together and simultaneously. This will be a
remote possibility. The worker in general are likely to be exposed to an
equipment noise level of 80-90 dB(A) in an 8 hour shift for which all
statutory precautions as per laws will be taken into consideration.
The main sources of noise within the plants are: boiler and spray dryer
blower. Suitable noise control system will be provided to ensure that noise
at the ventilation openings does not exceed 90 dB(A) at 1 m distance in
conformity with ISO 3746. The other sources of noise are the movement of
vehicles along the road. The typical industrial noise sources are given in
Table 4.4.
The results of monitoring carried out in the region have been presented in
Chapter-3. The permissible levels in the ambient environment as well as
industrial environment are also presented in Chapter 3. The results are
below the standards prescribed for Industrial environment. It can be
concluded that the impact on noise environment will be long term but
insignificant. The noise standards specified by regulations shall be met. The
mitigation measures being followed / proposed for minimising impacts on
noise quality are provided in chapter 5.
The main source of hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge. Other
sources will be discarded barrels/bags and spent/waste oil. As discussed in
Chapter-2, the unit proposes to provide adequate area i.e. 800 sqm. for
the storage of hazardous waste having roof cover, impervious floor and
leachate collection system. ETP sludge will be sold to cement
manufacturers or sent to approved TSDF site whereas discarded
barrels/bags will be properly cleaned and sold to approved end users and if
excess then reuse within premises. Spent/waste oil will also be sold to
CPCB approved recyclers.
Thus, after taking adequate steps for the hazardous waste storage, there
will be minor impact on the environment due to proposed project activities.
Operational phase of the units covers the entire life span of the plant.
Hence the impacts of the operational phase extend over a long period of
time. These impacts include employment generation, effects on basic
infrastructure etc.
The unit will have direct employment of about 90 persons, which will
increase further. It will provide indirect employment as well as
development of well developed road network connecting nearby villages,
faster development of communication facilities and medical facilities.

Environment Management Plan
5.1 INTRODUCTION
From the previous chapter it can be said that there will be almost minor
impact on the surrounding environment due to proposed project.
However, for the abatement of environmental pollution, M/s. Narayan
Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II would adopt several measures, which are
summarized in this chapter.
M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II is equally concern for production
as well as pollution control. The unit has already done the homework to
develop the efficient Environmental Management Plan for its proposed
project. This will be put in to existence as per the requirement after the
execution of the proposal.
EMP for the proposed project of M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. covers
following aspects:
• Description of proposed mitigation measures for proposed operation
phase only
• Description of monitoring program
• Institutional arrangements
• Implementation schedule and reporting procedures
All above aspects and objectives are kept in the view and considering the
same EMP is prepared for two major fields.
This model EHS system as suggested addresses EMS issues such as:
The unit also proposes to install two stage water scrubber followed by acid
scrubber as air pollution control measures to absorb ammonia gas likely to
be generated as process gas.
Thus, air pollution control measures proposed by the unit will be adequate
to obtain gaseous emission norms recognized by GPCB.
Flue gas volume should be checked for amount of air needed for the
complete combustion of the fuel.
There are certain plants that are sensitive to certain air pollutants, e.g.
gladiolus is sensitive to HF. However, it is difficult to identify species that
are selectively tolerant to certain air pollutants. Moreover, an industrial
area invariably emits several pollutants rather than a single one. Green
belts as a pollution sink hence, should aim at cultivating plants that are
tolerant to air pollutants in general, rather than tolerant to SO2, to HF or
to O3, etc. Scattering of a few known sensitive plants (including selectively
sensitive species for SPM, SO2, and NOX) within a green belt however, do
carry out an important function of indicating the presence of pollutants,
which the tolerant would not indicate.
Note: All tolerant plants are not necessarily good for green belts, e.g.
Xerophytes with sunken stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but
are poor absorbers of pollutants due to low gaseous exchange capacity.
How and Where to be planted: The standard practice for green belt
development involves planting of saplings in pits of substantial dimensions
i.e. 1m x 1m x 1m for big trees and almost half of these dimensions for
smaller trees and shrubs. The pits should then be filled with earth, sand,
silt and manure in the pre-determined proportions. Saplings planted in
such pits are to be watered liberally. The growing plants should be
nurtured for three years and should be cared and protected against any
damage caused by domestic elements.
Industry has sufficient space to systemically develop green belt, the above
mentioned plant species should be planted wherever the space and
conditions permit. In order to increase efficiency of the green belt, shrubs
should be inserted between big trees. If space permits for more than one
row, smaller trees should be planted inside while taller trees on the
outside with respect to emission sources.
The fugitive emissions of organic chemicals and VOCs come from leakage
through valves, fittings, pumps, etc. Though this is not expected to be
significant, adopting the following measures may reduce it further:
Entire effluent will be divided into three streams (i) Concentrated stream
and (ii) General stream. The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent
Treatment Plant comprising of primary and secondary treatment units
followed by tertiary treatment units.
Thus approximately 100% of the water use for the factory is available for
artificial recharge from rainfall which can be put into the ground water
reservoir directly by construction of “Injection tube well”. The opener
must be fitted with filter pit.
The location of such injection bore well must be decided considering the
slope of the ground in the factory premises so that the accumulated
flowing rain water can be injected in to bore well.
- Waste Inventory
- Classification of waste
- Packaging, Storing and Transporting Wastes to Disposal site
- Selecting a Hazardous Waste Management Facility – Final Disposal
- Data Management and Reporting
- Contingency Plan
- Personnel Training
- Waste Minimization
The main sources of noise within the plant are: boiler, manufacturing
activities, transferring pumps and material handling systems. Additional
noise will be generated due to installation of new machineries and
equipments however, these impacts will be very minor and temporary in
nature. The impact on the environment during the operational phase will
be long term but, of insignificant quantity.
To minimize the noise pollution, the unit proposes the following noise
control measures:
• Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or
protective measures should be provided (wherever noise level is more
than 90 dB (A)).
• Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like
earplugs or earmuffs. Earplug should be provided to all workers where
exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.
• The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid unnecessary
speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.
Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the air
pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement of the
area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.
Plantation around the pollution sources control the air pollution by filtering
the air particulate and interacting with gaseous pollutant before it reaches
the ground.
Each plant shows different air pollution tolerance level depending upon
number of factors. In green belt area about 1000 trees per acre of land as
prescribed by Gujarat Pollution Control Board shall be planted. The
selection of tree species suitable for plantation at the industry shall be
governed by following factors,
• The trees should be tolerant to air pollutants present in the area
• The trees should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the area, be
evergreen, inhabitant and having minimum of leaf fall.
• The trees should be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large
and spreading canopy in primary and secondary attenuation zone
• It is also recommended to plant few trees, which are sensitive to air
pollution as air pollution indicator.
The unit have extensive greenbelt plantation in 11220 sqm, which is
around 33% of total land area. Local spices are planted and survival rate
is more than 65%.
The units shall also implement the concept of waste minimization circle.
Good Housekeeping or proper housekeeping practice makes the system
easier and less costly. Some of these are as follows:
• Rain water harvesting system shall be adopted to reduce the fresh
water requirement.
• Cleaner production technology shall be adopted for the resource
conservation and pollution control.
The process emission containing Ammonia mainly. The Ammonia gas gets
absorbed in the water and results in Liq. Ammonia solution (12–15%) or
reaction with spent sulfuric acid and convent to Ammonium Sulphate as by
products. This Ammonia solution will be recovered as By- Product and sold
to actual end users. Thus, this is the step towards waste minimization and
resource conservation.
M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II will follow occupational health
program right from the start of production. Health hazards associated with
occupation are called occupational hazards. The following check-ups shall
be carried out regularly to avoid occupational hazards:
• Pre-employment medical check-up at the time of employment
• Provision of periodic medical check up for all the employees
• To provide necessary first aid facilities, the first aid training shall also
be given to the employees
• Monitoring of occupational hazards like noise, ventilation, chemical
exposure shall be carried out at frequent intervals.
• The unit will appoint the medical officer for the regular medical
examination and treatment of the employee.
Noise & Heat: Noise is considered as any unwanted sound that may
adversely affect the health and well-being of individuals or populations.
Aspects of noise hazards include total energy of the sound, frequency
distribution, duration of exposure and impulsive noise. Hearing acuity is
generally affected first with a loss or dip at 4000 Hz followed by losses in
the frequency range from 2000 to 6000 Hz. Noise might result in acute
effects like communication problems, decreased concentration,
sleepiness and as a consequence interference with job performance.
Exposure to high levels of noise (usually above 85 dB(A)) over a
significant period of time may cause both temporary and chronic hearing
loss. Permanent hearing loss is the most common occupational disease in
compensation claims.
In our case there will be no high noise level issue or heat or radiation.
However we will identify such are like D.G. Sets, utilities area and advice
to workers to not enter without PPE.
5.11.2Preventive Measures
The methods of protecting the work force from exposure to toxic agents in
the workplace apply to the use of solvents:—
M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. will employ well qualified and experienced
safety Manager and make arrangement for part time doctor for regular
checking of health of the employees. Also, plans to become member of
any local hospital for emergency need. Annual health check for employees
will be carried out and record will be maintained. Regular training to plant
personnel in safety fire fighting and first aid will be provided.
volatile chemicals etc. will follow the guiding principles established for
Occupational Health. The hazard communication program will serve as the
basis for selection of personal protective equipment such as gloves,
goggles, face shields, etc. A selected group of employees at the proposed
facility will receive first aid training to provide an immediate response and
medical care for injuries.
• Water Environment
• Wastewater should be analyzed at the ETP discharge regularly.

QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT
6.1 INTRODUCTION
M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. is the proposed unit for Pigment
manufacturing to be located at Block No. 164 to 170, Village: Vedach,
Taluka: Jambusar, Dist: Bharuch, State: Gujarat.
The risk assessment studies have been conducted for identification of
hazards, to calculate damage distances and to spell out risk mitigation
measures.
The scope of work is to carry out risk analysis for the proposed project
of the production facility covering all the hazardous chemicals to be
handled and stored at the plant.
The release sources and potential accidents scenarios in the plant are
listed. For each selected release source several scenarios are developed
depending upon the failure mode causing loss of containment.
& other facilities, potential hazards associated with the spillage and
release of hazardous chemicals.
The assessment of vulnerable zones resulting from an accidental release
of hazardous substance into the environment is one of the key elements
of risk analysis. Quantification of the effects of such releases requires,
data of the chemicals stored or handled in the area, quantities stored,
operating parameters, quantity that would be released in case of an
accident, meteorological conditions and physical attributes of the area.
The starting point of risk analysis study is the identification of hazards
and selection of scenarios that are then addressed for further
consequence analysis.
The proposed plant will be engaged in handling and storage of various
flammable and toxic hazardous materials. Important characteristic of
these hazardous materials are described in details.
CAS: 612-23-7
Eyes: Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or
keep eyes closed. Gently lift eyelids and flush continuously with water.
Ex tensive irrigation with water is required (at least 30 minutes).
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and
shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Destroy contaminated shoes.
CAS: 78-83-1
Synonyms: 2-Methyl-1-propanol
Formula: (CH“)’CHCH’OH
Hazard Identification
Keep away from heat and ignition sources. Harmful if swallowed. Avoid
breathing vapors. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothes. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container
closed.
EYES: Wash eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lids
occasionally. Seek Medical Aid. INHALATION: Remove to fresh air. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen
Store in a cool dry well ventilated area. Keep away from heat and flame.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
Stability: Stable
Eye Contact: Corrosive. Contact can cause blurred vision, redness, pain
and severe tissue burns. Can cause blindness.
Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with gentle but large stream of
water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids
occasionally. Call a physician immediately.
The hazardous chemicals are stored at the plant in tank with adequate
dyke. Other chemicals will be stored in cylindrical tanks, barrels and
carboys. Details of storage of hazardous materials are given in Table -
6.1.
Table - 6.1: Facilities for Storage of Chemicals
Name of Chemical Quantity, MT/month Storage Facility
Sulphuric Acid (98%) 30 MSRL
Spent Acid (20-22%) 25 MSRL
Storage and handling of hazardous chemical will not pose any hazardous
situation if these are handled or stored correctly with adequate safety
provisions and fire fighting facilities. Therefore, suitable safety measures
including fire fighting facilities will be provided at the plant to attend any
emergency due to accidental release of these hazardous chemicals.
Among the hazardous inventories, there are few potential toxic
materials that can form toxic vapour cloud in unlikely event of release.
The plant will be dealing with some hazardous substances i.e. Sulphuric
Acid, Ortho Nitro Benzene, Iso butyl alcohol described in details. This is
in the form of liquid and considered as odorous. Subsequently, their
consequence due to thermal radiation will be confined within short
distances. If released quantities are not ignited, therefore, vapour
formation can result in vapour and air mixture and may generate
explosive mass which can explode if it gets the source of ignition. Toxic
cloud of hazardous chemicals may also be formed and moved towards
wind direction.
In this study, following steps are followed for scenario selection for risk
analysis study:
From the preliminary risk assessment study carried out for Narayan
Organics Pvt. Ltd. Some of the possible hazards have been identified.
The likely accident scenarios considered are given below:
accidents to man and material in and around the plant boundary limits.
The advantages of carrying out consequence analysis are given below:
• To improve plant layout (for new projects and for expansion of
existing one)
• To meet statutory requirements
• Protection of public in the nearby areas (no residential/ inhabited
near by)
• Disaster management planning
• Training tool
The findings of a consequence analysis provide information about
hazardous effects resulting from an accident scenario. In addition,
Methods for dealing with possible catastrophic events are also provided.
6.7.1 HAZARDS EVALUATION: EXPOSURE To TOXIC DUSTS / VAPORS
Leakage in process plant from failure of nozzles, joints (flange joint),
welding failures or dripping from non-holding valves/glands or dusts
generation during charging of solids at times goes unnoticed. If the
leaky dust or fluids being toxic and odorless it is a potential source of
risk, which may cause fatal/serious hazards.
Liquids with high saturation vapor pressures evaporate faster because
the evaporation rate (mass/time) is essentially proportional to the
saturation vapor pressure. In the case of vaporization into stagnant air,
the vaporization rate is proportional to the difference between the
saturation vapor pressure and the partial pressure in the stagnant air.
6.7.2 LIQUID POOL EVAPORATION OR BOILING
The pool boiling cases may be encountered during heavy leakage in
enclosed area (dyke wall of tanks) and with heat source nearby
(ambient or fire) the vapor can explode or catch fire (in case the
material is flammable and sparks/flame contact is made).
A chemical fluid spill is a common type of process incident and can lead
to potentially serious accident. If the spilled material gives rise to
Consequence analysis has been carried out for selected failure cases.
Consequence analysis quantifies vulnerable zones for a likely incident
and once the vulnerable zone is identified for an incident, measures are
proposed to eliminate damage to plant and potential injury to personnel.
• The plant should check and ensure that all instruments provided in
the plant are in good condition and documented.
• Safety measures in the form of “DO” and “Don’t do” should be
displayed at strategic locations especially in local language and
English.
• Regular mock drills should be carried out once in every 3 months
and shortcomings should be recorded and rectified. Records should
be maintained for the response of Mock Drills and corrective actions
should listed and taken accordingly.
(b) Ventilation
• Adequate ventilation should be provided in the work floor
environment.
• The work environment should be assessed and monitored
regularly.
• Local ventilation is most effective method for controlling dust and
gaseous emissions at work floor.

ONSITE DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.1 INTRODUCTION
An emergency is said to have arisen when operators in the plant are not
able to cope with a potential hazardous situation i.e. loss of control of an
incident, causes the plant to go beyond its normal operating conditions,
thus creating danger. When such an emergency evolves, chain of events
which affect the normal working within the factory area and/or which, may
cause injuries, loss of life, substantial damage to property and environment
both inside and around the factory take place, then the DISASTER is said
to have occurred.
M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II is the proposed unit for pigment
manufacturing. The unit proposes to manufacture Copper Pthalocyanine
Blue (CPC Blue), Pigment Alpha Blue and Pigment Beta Blue of 700.0 TPM,
75.0 TPM and 200.0 TPM capacity respectively. There will also be
generation of Ammonium Carbonate Solution (12-15%) as by-product up
to 600.0 TPM. Thus, total production capacity of the unit including by-
product will be 1575.0 TPM.
• To ensure safety of the work force before they re-enter and resume
work.
• To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to
provide for emergency preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of
the plan.
The structure of the plan may vary depending on number of employees,
materials and processes, availability of resources, location of site, size and
complexity of work.
The plan should not be complicated. Instructions should not overlap or
create any confusion. Responsibilities should be clearly assigned and
should be workable smoothly. For clear understanding and quick action,
the action (role) by each individual (his emergency duty) should be
prepared in a booklet or card size and given to him.
7.4 IDENTIFICATION OF MAJOR HAZARDS
The major hazardous field where disaster management plan is required are
as under:
• Bursting of high-pressure steam pipe, vessels, etc. due to
abnormal pressure rise
• Fire hazard due to ignition of fuel
• Inhalation of any hazardous chemical
7.5 SCOPE OF THE PLAN
• The plan will set into action immediately after a fire or other hazard
occurs in and/or around the plant
• Fuel storage facility will be situated away from the manufacturing plant
and will follow all rules and regulation
• All the electrical fittings will be of explosion proof fitting
• All necessary fire-fighting arrangements will be provided near the
storage area
be used mainly in support of the main response actions that the facility
personnel will have to implement in case of a serious emergency.
In any case, the availability of resources within the community must be
determined before hand, so that these resources can be mobilized, if the
time comes to do so.
• Essential communications
• Public relation
• Transportation
• Investigation and reports
• Alert the hospital authorities
Emergency Plant Coordinator (Chief – Production)
• Assess the law and order situation inside/outside the premises and
take necessary action accordingly. Proper vigilance to be maintained to
avoid any attempts from inside/outside saboteurs.
• Arrange to keep the emergency vehicles and ambulance ready with
their drivers for any movement of personnel/material.
• Arrange for canteen services for the personnel on duty and in the
affected area.
• In case of any injuries, provide necessary first aid and arrange for
shifting of the injured personnel to the ESI or other hospitals as the
case may be.
• Attend to any external calls/telephones relating to information about
emergency.
• In case of need from other emergency coordinators at site, arrange to
inform external agencies like Fire Brigade, Police Station, Ambulance
and other Medical Services.
• Arrange for filling of statutory report that may be required.
