TPD to 365 TPD and Cogeneration Power Plant capacity from 16 MW
to 18 MW at Village: Moka, Taluka: Mundra, District Kuchchh in
Gujarat by M/s Philips Carbon Black Limited - Reg. Environmental
Clearance

The project authorities and their consultant San Enviortech Pvt. Limited,
Ahmedabad gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of the project
and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken along with
the draft TORs for preparation of EIA/EMP.
The project was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee-2
(Industry) in its meeting held during 23-24th October, 2009 to prescribe the Terms
of Reference. The Committee prescribed the TORs for undertaking EIA study
and exempted the project from public hearing as per para 7(ii) of Environmental
Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 as the expansion will be carried within the
existing unit. No additional land is required and there will be zero discharge of
effluent. Tail gas generated from the process will be used as fuel for the power
generation. Public hearing for the existing capacity was held on 23rd May, 2008
as per the procedures laid in the EIA Notification 2006.
The project activity is listed at 5 (c) and is of ?A? category and therefore
require environmental clearance.
M/s Phillips Carbon Black Limited have proposed for expansion of
production capacity of carbon black from 225 TPD (80,000 TPA) to 365 TPD
(130,000 TPA) and cogeneration power plant capacity from 16 MW to 22 MW
based on waste gas at Village: Moka, Taluk: Mundra, District: Kachchh in
Gujarat. Environmental clearance for existing capacity was accorded vide letter
no. J-11011/590/2007-IA-II (I) dated 19.08.2008. Public hearing was held on
23.05.2008. Construction activity of the existing unit is going on. Production has
not been started. Proposed expansion will be within the existing unit having land
area of 60 acres. The total cost of the project is Rs. 255 Crores.
Major raw material feed stock for production of carbon black will be a dark
brown liquid, the heavy end product of crude oil low sulphur refining. This will be
obtained from the refineries of the country and will be imported as required.
Molasses solution will be used as binder for beading/ pelletizing. In the process
of carbon black manufacturing, the feed stock which is liquid HC of petroleum
and coal tar origin is cracked in a reactor in the deficiency of the air and under
carefully controlled conditions. As a result of this, cracking is a part of feed stock
and is transformed into carbon black. Resultant smoke is cooled and passed
through bag filters and carbon gets separated from gas. The by product off ?gas
at a temperature of 200 deg C will be burnt in a boiler to run a steam turbine
generator to generate the power.
Water requirement will increase from 955 m3/day to 1200 m3/day and will
be sourced from Gujarat Water Infrastructures Limited ? Mundra. Out of 1200
m3/day of water requirement, 221 m3/day of the water requirement will be met
through the recycled treated waste water. Effluent (281 m3/day) will be treated in
ETP and treated effluent will be used for green belt. Domestic effluent (50
m3/day) will be disposed through septic tank/soak pit. Power requirement will be
met from the CPP. Tail gas generated from process will be used as fuel for
power generation. Bag filters will be provided to control the particulate emissions
from the boiler.
ETP sludge (85 kg/day) will be sent to TSDF site approved by GPCB.
Used oil (0.05 kl/month) will be sold to registered recyclers with CPCB. Used
lead batteries (if generated) will be sold to authorized dealers/recyclers.

The project Proponent also informed the Committee that environmental


clearance for the expansion project of Soft Carbon Black 140 TPD and 12 MW
Cogeneration Power Plant at Cochin was accorded by MoEF letter dated
03.07.2008. The carbon black project was stalled due to global slowdown and
reduction of customer demand in south India. Considering the increase in tyre
demand in Gujarat region, it is proposed to set up the same carbon black project
at Mundra in place of Cochin.

The Committee wanted to know the sulfur content in the feed stock. To
this, PP informed the committee that the feed stock is imported which has sulfur
content of more than 2%. Feed stock obtained from Reliance, Haldia
Petrochemicals Ltd. and Barauni has sulfur content 0.5%, 0.9% and 2.5%
respectively. The committee advised the proponent that only low sulfur feed stock
shall be used having sulfur content not exceeding 2%. They also apprised the
committee about the standards evolved by CPCB regarding Carbon Black
manufacturing Industry.

As per the CPCB standards, the industry should blend the carbon feed
stock so that average sulfur content does not exceed 3%.

The Committee deliberated on the issue of sulfur balance, removal of


sulfur from flue gas, air quality modeling and risk & safety aspects etc. After
detailed deliberation, the committee sought following additional information for
reconsideration of project:
1. Detailed sulfur balance of feed stock based on actual monitoring.
2. Sulfur content in the feed stock and product along with quantity
3. Data on continuous stack monitoring of SO2
4. Explore the possibility of removal of Sulfur from the flue gas by installation of
FGD.
5. Analysis of Carbon Black particles from the stack for the HCN.
6. Hourly meteorological data, mixing height and stack coordinates.
7. Isopleths need to be rechecked and impacts should match with the wind
pattern.
8. Risk Assessment of dust explosion hazards.

The Committee also decided that on receipt of above information,


site inspection shall be carried by the following members of the Committee:
1. Chairman
2. Sh. S.K. Hazra
3. Representative of the MoEF

All molasses based distilleries are listed at Sl. No. 5(g) of schedule of EIA
notification, 2006 under category ?A? and appraised at central level.

M/s Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Distilleries Private Limited and their consultant
Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited, Hyderabad gave detailed presentation on the
salient features of the project and proposed environmental protection measures.
The proponent have proposed for expansion of molasses based distillery from 20
KLD to 60 KLD to manufacture extra neutral alcohol / rectified spirit in District
Dharwad, Karnataka. No eco-sensitive areas are located within 15 km periphery
of the plant. The proposed expansion will be carried with in the existing distillery
premises covering an area of 116 acres of which an area of 40 acres will be
covered under green belt. The unit will operate for 300 days. The total cost of the
project will be Rs. 15 Crores.

The actual water requirement would be 2215 KLD. The fresh water
requirement would be 1228 KLD after reuse of water from RO, permeate, spent
lees, condensate which will be met from the ground water source. The major
source of water pollution from distilleries is the spent wash. About 720 KLD of
spent wash will be generated which after concentration in the MEE will be
incinerated in the boiler to achieve zero discharge. About 463 KLD of effluent
would be generated from boiler, cooling tower and plant washing which after
neutralization and secondary treatment will be utilized for green belt and
quenching of boiler ash.

The dried potash powder will be used for power generation after mixing
with coal. The condensate will be used for dilution and cooling tower make-up.
The carbon-di-oxide generated during fermentation reaction will be compressed
and sold out for further use. The steam requirement is met from a high pressure
boiler (4TPH) and the high pressure steam (3Kg/cm2) will be utilized to generate
400 KW of energy for captive consumption. The steam leaving the turbines at 1.5
kg/cm2 back pressure is supplied for further distillation processes which are
generally practiced at 300 mm of vacuum. It is proposed to install two number of
DG sets of 500 KVA capacities each to meet the power requirement during the
emergency. To control the particulate emissions from the boiler, a high efficiency
multi-cyclone followed by back filter will be installed.

The solid waste will be generated in the form of Yeast sludge (7.5 TPD).
ETP sludge (12 TPD) would be reused in compost making process. Sewage
sludge will be used as manure for green belt. The boiler ash (7 TPD) shall be
used as filler material in composting.

The committee noted that the predicted GLC values of NOx are 58.71
ug/m3
which are high and needs to be rechecked. The rechecked data shall be
submitted to the ministry and circulated among the members of the committee.
The Committee noted that method of treatment of spent wash is as per the

The company applied for environmental clearance to the Ministry on 9th


October, 2007. The proposal was placed before the Expert Appraisal Committee
(Industry) in its meeting held on 13th -14th November, 2007. The Committee
assessed the adequacy of EIA/EMP report and advised the project proponent to
submit the report to the State Pollution Control Board for public hearing.

Subsequently, as SEIAA/SEAC for Punjab was constituted vide S.O. 1428


(E) dated 19th November, 2007, the file was transferred on 31.03.2008 to the
SEIAA as it was a ?B? category project. The company made a number of
representations before the SEIAA/SEAC for exempting the expansion project of
sugar mill and biomass based Cogen power plant from public hearing as public
hearing for the distillery project situated in the same complex was earlier held in
the year 2004.

Public hearing of the project was held on 6.11.2009. The SEIAA


considered the project in its meeting held on 30th January, 2010. However,
SEIAA decided the file may be transferred to the Ministry as this is a ?A?
category project as per the EIA Notification, 2006 amended on 1st December,
2009. As per the amendments, the biomass based power plant of capacity 20
MW and above are category ?A? project.

The issues raised during the public hearing were regarding, increasing the
production of sugar cane, effluent treatment , disposal of press mud , impact of
flyash generated, employment opportunities etc. The proponent had addressed
all the above issues

M/s A.B. Sugars Limited and their consultant M/s EST Consultants (P) Ltd
gave presentation on the salient features of the project and envisaged
environment protection measures. It is proposed to enhance the capacity of
sugar unit from 3500 TCD to 7000 TCD and capacity of cogen power plant from
10MW to 33MW in district Hoshiarpur and Punjab. Company has acquisition of
160 acres of land and another plot of 10 acres adjoining this land has also been
purchased and would be utilized for the expansion of sugar mill and cogeneration
power plant. The total area would be 170 acre.

It was noted that water requirement of 840 m3/d for the sugar mill during
the crushing season and 1800 m3/d for the co-gen power plant and 3485 m3/d for
the cogen power plant during the off season will be met from the ground water
source and also from the recycled water. No process effluent would be generated
from the sugar mill. About 3300 m3/d of effluent would be generated. The effluent
would be given primary and secondary treatment. The treated effluent after
conforming to the prescribed standards will be used for land irrigation utilizing the
Karnal Technology for Agro forestry.

To control the particulate emissions from the boilers, ESP will be installed
and emissions will be dispersed through stack of height as per State Pollution
Control Board/CPCB standards. About 27,474 MTPA ash will be generated. It is
estimated that during the 5 years about 13.74 acres of area will be required for
disposal of ash for which the company has available area of 17 acres. The
Committee advised the PP for ash management plan like disposal of ash to the
cement plant and submit to the Ministry within 3 months.

The Committee noted that the proponent has not predicted that
incremental NOx concentration from Boiler Stack to assess its impacts on the
AAQ. The proponent has furnished the information after prediction of incremental
NOx concentration. As per the prediction, the worst predicted 24 hourly
concentrations for NOx is 2.051 ug/m3 occurring at a distance of 2.5 km from the
emissions of 120 TPH sugar mill boiler. The overall concentration of NOx would
be 17.451 ug/m3 which is much below the prescribed standards. Further, the
Committee also noted that the values of SPM were also high. To this the PP
clarified that the values of SPM are high as there was construction of National &
State Highway. Regarding supply of molasses, it was informed that Punjab Govt.
supplies the molasses during the off-season of sugar crushing.

The Committee after detailed deliberations recommended the project for

Navalgarh, Dhangadhra, District Surendranagar, Gujarat by M/s Rushil
Décor Limited ?reg. Environmental Clearance

The project authorities and their consultant Envisafe, Ahmedabad gave a


detailed presentation on the salient features of the project and proposed
environmental protection measures to be undertaken. The plant will manufacture
resin for captive use which is a synthetic organic chemical. The synthetic organic
chemical manufacturing units located out side the notified industrial areas are
listed at serial no. 5(f) of schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 under ?A? category
and will be apprised at central level.

The proposal was earlier considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee in


its 92 meeting held during 18-20th March, 2009. The Committee prescribed the
nd

TORs for undertaking EIA/EMP study and advised the project proponent to
submit the EIA/EMP report to the State Pollution Control Board for conducting
public hearing. The issues emerged during the PH/PC shall be incorporated in
the EIA/EMP report and the final report should be submitted to the Ministry for
obtaining environmental clearance.

Public hearing of the project was held on 2nd February, 2010. The issues
raised during the public hearing were regarding acquisition of land, control of
dust and fugitive emission, water requirement and waste water management,
socio economic activities etc. All the above issues have been addressed.

M/s Rushil Décor Limited have proposed for setting up of Agro Waste
Panel Board manufacturing plant (4,32,000 pieces / month of Agro Waste Panel
Board and Resin @ of 1400 TPM for captive use) at Survey no. 270, Navalgarh,
Dhangadhra, District Surendranagar, Gujarat. The company has acquired 31.7
acres of land of which 32,000 m2 area has been earmarked for green belt. No
eco-sensitive areas are located within 15 km periphery of the plant. The total cost
of the project will be Rs. 13.49 Crores.

There will not be any process emissions. Scrubber will be installed for
control of formaldehyde fumes generated during its handling. Fresh water
requirement of 49.7 KLD will be met from Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam
Limited. The unit has already obtained permission from the Public Health and
Sanitation Department, Surendranagar for supply of water from the Sardar
Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited. The total power requirement for the proposed
plant will be 2 MW which will be sourced from Paschim Gujarat Vij. co. Ltd. One
DG set of 250 KVA will be installed to meet the power requirement during
emergency. The unit will install thermic fluid heater of capacity 30 lakh kcal /hour
where lignite, plant dust, agricultural waste generated from the manufacturing
processes will be used as fuel. The fuel for the DG set will be HSD.

About 0.7 m3/d of wastewater will be generated from the cooling,


washing of resin plant and process. No process wastewater will be required for
the manufacturing of synthetic resin. However, there will be generation of
wastewater during distillation of resin, which will be treated in the effluent
treatment plant. The treated waste water after primary, secondary and tertiary
treatment will be used for land irrigation after meeting the prescribed standards.
About 4 m3/d of domestic effluent will be generated which will be disposed of in
soak pit through septic tank.

To control the particulate emissions from the thermic fluid heater, multi-
cyclone separator will be installed and flue gas emissions will be dispersed
through stack of adequate height. The particulate emissions from the process will
be controlled by multi cyclone separator followed by common bag filters attached
to the sanding machine and material handling system. Cyclone separator will be
installed to dryer to control the particulate emissions.

The hazardous/solid waste generation will be in the form of used/waste oil


(5 Lits/annum) which will be reused within the plant premises as lubricants are
sold to the approved recyclers. The ETP sludge (2T/annum) will be sent to the
TSDF site for disposal.

The Committee after detailed deliberation recommended the project for


environmental clearance subject to stipulation of specific environmental
safeguards.

designated places. Wet cake from grain distillery shall be sold as cattle feed. The
waste bagasse, fly ash & filter cake/press mud from sugar mill will be used for
combustion in boiler or for biocomposting. The used oil & grease from
boiler/internal parts will be disposed off as per HWM&H rules. The scrap
generated from stores/workshop will be given to authorized recyclers.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in association with Indian


Institute of Technology (IIT), New Delhi have carried out an environmental
assessment of Industrial clusters across the country based on Comprehensive
Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) with the aim of identifying polluted
industrial clusters and prioritizing planning needs for intervention to improve the
quality of environment in these industrial clusters and the nation as a whole. The
assessment so carried out has been documented in the form of a report entitled
?Comprehensive Environmental Assessment of Industrial Clusters? which is
available on the website of CPCB www.cpcb.nic.in and website of Ministry
www.envfor.nic.in. In all 88 industrial clusters have been assessed.

The Ministry has also issued an circular no. J-11013/5/2010-IA-II (I) dated
13th January, 2010 regarding consideration of project for environmental
clearance based on CEPI with immediate effect. As per the report, the industrial
clusters/ areas having aggregated CEPI scores of 70 and above should be
considered as critically polluted; the clusters/ areas having CEPI scores between
60-70 should be considered as severally polluted areas and shall be kept under
surveillance and pollution control measures should be efficiently implemented;
and the critically polluted industrial clusters / areas need further detailed
investigations in terms of the extent of damage and formulation of appropriate
remedial action plan

It was noted that the Batala is designated as severely polluted area. The
Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) was requested to depute the concerned
officer to appraise the Committee with respect to pollution load in term of
Ambient Air Quality/ Water Quality or solid/ hazardous waste management as per
the circular no. J-11013/18/2009-IA-II (I) dated 25th August, 2009 posted on the
Ministry?s website www.envfor.nic.in .

Dr. Sandeep Behl, Executive Environment Engineer from PPCB attended


the meeting to apprise the Committee about the pollution level in the project
area. he informed the Committee about 180 foundries based on cupola furnace
were in operation in Batala town. That is why pollution levels were high in Batala.
The proposed unit is located at a distance of 30 km from the Batala town. No
major industry except one grain based distillery unit is located within a distance
of 10 km from the proposed unit.

Further, PPCB has carried out AAQM from April & December, 2009. The
24 hour averages for PM10 at the project site recorded was 99 ug/m3 and at the

10.2.24 Expansion of Urea Fertilizer Plant at Babrala District Badaun in Uttar


Pradesh by M/s Tata Chemicals Limited? reg. Amendment in
Environmental Clearance

M/s Tata Chemicals Limited were accorded environmental clearance on


th
4 December, 2009 for expansion of Ammonia-urea Fertilizer plant (Babrala-II)
District Badaun in Uttar Pradesh subject to stipulation of specific safeguards. The
company requesting the Ministry for amendment of specific condition no.ii and
specific condition no. (vi). These conditions are reproduced below:

ii. The company shall undertake measures for water conservation. The
specific water consumption shall not exceed 5.1m3/MT of urea. The waste
water generated from all sources after treatment and recycle back in the
process to maintain zero discharge condition. The process water
condensate shall be recycled as boiler feed water. The waste water
generation shall not exceed 0.9m3/MT of urea.

vi. Specific energy consumption shall not exceed 5.127G cal/MT of urea
production. Optimization of cycle of concentration (COC) to 6 and blow
down frequency from the cooling towers shall be reduced

Request of the company for amendment in above conditions were placed


before the Expert Appraisal Committee-2(Industry) for amendment of above
conditions. The representative of the company informed the Committee that they
have achieved the above with their own efforts of last 15 years. However, for the
new plant the technology suppliers are not able to meet the requirement to start
with. The company will continue to make efforts during the operation of plant to
meet the above stipulated conditions. These values regarding water
consumption and effluent discharged are definitely lower than the stipulated
standards of 8m3 /tonne and 5m3/tonne of urea produced. There are no specific
standards for energy consumption.

Regarding water consumption, the company informed that the


environmental performance of Babrala-I plant was based on last 15 years of
operation and the specific water consumption of 5.1m3/MT of urea was achieved
after various improvements in the processes and practices over a number of
years. It would not be possible to achieve lower consumption in the initial years
of operation before the appropriate measures. Further, as regards the waste
water generation, effluent from various sources after collection in a pond shall be
used for irrigation. However, during the rainy season, it may not be possible to
use the treated effluent for green belt.

In view of the above, it has been requested that the zero effluent
discharge condition may be amended as maximizing the use of treated effluent in
the green belt.

Regarding waste water generation, 0.9 m3/MT of product has been


achieved in the existing plant after operation of about 15 years. However, in the
proposed plant, some more time is required. Therefore, the condition may be
amended as waste water generation shall be in the range of 1.0- 2.0 m3/MT of
product in stead of 0.90 m3/MT of product.

The Committee deliberated and recommended for amendment of specific


condition no.ii as follows:

?The company shall undertake measures for water conservation. The specific
water consumption shall be in the range of 6.5m3/MT of urea produced. The
company shall undertake measures for maximizing the use of treated effluent
in the green belt. The process water condensate from ammonia and urea
plant shall be recycled back after treatment for use as boiler feed water. The
corresponding waste water generation shall be 2.0m3/MT of product.
However, the company shall continue efforts during the operation of plant to
meet the earlier stipulated values for water consumption and effluent
generation at the time of according environmental clearance.?

As regards achieving low specific consumption, the company is in the


process of technology selection which shall be based on low emissions and low
energy consumption. To achieve specific energy consumption of 5.127G cal/MT
of urea production will not be possible from the commissioning of plant itself.
However, efforts will be made in this regard. There are some factors which will
influence the specific energy consumption like interruption/ curtailment of natural
gas supply resulting in low operation loads or even plant shut down due to some
equipments/ machinery breakdown. These are the factors which are beyond
control. However, efforts will be made to achieve the specific energy
consumption of 5.127 cal/MT of urea production. There are no standards for
specific energy consumption for fertilizer industries. Therefore, the company
requested to amend the condition by mentioning that ?Specific energy
consumption shall not exceed 5.127G cal/MT ? 5.5 G cal/MT of urea production.
Optimization of cycle of concentration (COC) to 6 and blow down frequency from
the cooling towers shall be reduced?., to which committee agreed.

10.2.25 Expansion for 283 TPD Membrane Cell (conversion from Mercury
Cell) Caustic soda plant with 125 TPD Iron Oxide plant and
installation of 2X 25 MW Cogen power plant at Sahupuram,
Tiruchendur Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu by M/s DCW Ltd- amendment in
environmental clearance reg.

M/s DCW Limited were accorded environmental clearance on 7th June,


2007 for expansion of Membrane Cell (conversion from Mercury Cell) Caustic
soda plant from 183 TPD to 283 TPD, 125 TPD Iron Oxide plant and installation
of 2X 25 MW Cogeneration power plant at Sahupuram, Tiruchendur Tuticorin,
Tamil Nadu.

As per the environmental clearance accorded, the company has installed


2X125 TPH boilers. The steam to be generated from the boiler will be to the tune
of 250 TPH @89 ata. The steam generated drives the steam turbine generators
( 2 nos. ) to generate total power of 50MW. The steam leaving the steam turbine
(viz. 52 TPH at 12 kg/cm2 medium pressure steam and 24 TPH at 2.5kg/cm2
low pressure steam has been allocated for use in various process operations.
Out of this, 15 TPH is used in caustic soda division, 15 TPH in PVC plant and 46
TPH in iron ore oxide plant. At present, the steam is being consumed in caustic
soda division and PVC plant only. Since the execution of iron oxide plant is yet to
be taken up, the company has to restrict steam extraction to match the current
process requirement of steam. Due to restricted steam extraction, 25 MW of
power can be generated instead of 50 MW as per turbine characteristics.

To achieve power generation to the tune of 50MW, company has to


extract additional steam as per the design parameters. Therefore, to utilize
extracted steam, it is proposed to install additional steam turbine generator of
8.27 MW capacity. The company will be able to generate power to the tune of
58.27MW. Additional investment will be to the tune of Rs. 18 crores.

Since there is no change in the capacity of the boiler installed for steam
generation, there will be no additional impact on the environment. It is proposed
to generate additional power of 8.27 MW by installation of additional turbine to
make use of the unutilized steam from the existing 2X125 TPH boiler.

In view of the above, the committee recommended for amendment in


environmental clearance for enhancement of power generation from 50MW to
58.27 MW subject to compliance of conditions stipulated in environmental
clearance no. J-11011/426/2006-IA-II(I) dated 7th June, 2007 and stipulation of
following additional specific conditions for compliance by the project proponent:

i. The company shall upload the status of compliance of the stipulated


environmental clearance conditions, including results of monitored data on
its website and shall update the same periodically. It shall simultaneously
be sent to the Regional office of MOEF, the respective Zonal office of
CPCB and the State Pollution Control Board. The levels of PM 10, SO2,
fluoride and NOx (ambient levels) and emissions from the stacks (Cl2,
HCl and SO2) shall be monitored and displayed at a convenient location
near the main gate of the company and at important public places.

ii. A copy of the clearance letter shall be sent by the proponent to concerned
Panchayat, Zila Parisad/Municipal Corporation, Urban local Body and the
local NGO, if any, from who suggestions/ representations, if any , were
received while processing the proposal.

iii. The project proponent shall also submit six monthly reports on the status of
compliance of the stipulated E C conditions including results of monitored
data (both in hard copies as well as by e-mail) to the respective Regional
Office of MoEF, the respective Zonal Office of CPCB and the State
Pollution Control Board.

iv. The environmental statement for each financial year ending 31st March in
Form-V as is mandated shall be submitted to the concerned State
Pollution Control Board as prescribed under the Environment (Protection)
Rules, 1986, as amended subsequently, shall also be put on the website
of the company along with the status of compliance of environmental
clearance conditions and shall also be sent to the respective Regional
Offices of MoEF by e-mail.

3. Power (By product) ? 21600000 KWH

M/s High Tech carbon is manufacturing carbon black from highly aromatic
petroleum oils, which are thermally cracked at high temperature in specially
designed reactors. The heat for endothermic thermal cracking is supplied by
either burning of partially carbon black feed stock oil or auxiliary fuel oil with
process air inside the reactor itself or both. Carbon black particles formed are
recovered and converted into pellets for ease of storage, handling and
transportation.

The project activity regarding petrochemical complexes (Industries based


on processing of petroleum fractions and natural gas and/or reforming to
aromatics) listed at Sl. No. 5 (C) of Environmental Impact Assessment
Notification, 2006 and petrochemical based processing (Processes other than
cracking and reformation and not covered under the complexes) attract the
provisions of Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006.

As per the submission of proponent, that their process for manufacturing


carbon black is based on cracking of the refinery waste oil into the carbon black
along with steam and gases, therefore, proposal does not attract the provisions
of Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. Further, the process of
carbon black manufacturing is cracking and exempted from Section 5(e) of
Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006.

The Committee noted that the carbon black manufacturing is from the
petroleum fractions which listed at sl.no. 5(c ) of Environmental Impact
Assessment Notification, 2006 and require environmental clearance. The
Committee advised the proponent that the activity attracts provisions of
Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and therefore requires
environmental clearance.

13 of the cluster/ industrial area of the report on Comprehensive Environmental
Pollution Index. The CEPI score for Dhanbad is 78.63 and is considered as
critically polluted area. The Committee decided that the proposal may be
returned as per the instructions given in circular no. J-11013/5/2010-IA-II (I)
dated 13th January, 2010 issued by the Ministry which is also posted on the
Ministry?s website www.envfor.nic.in .

Based on further clarification from CPCB, Ministry issued circular on 15th


March, 2010. As per the above circular Sindri Industrial Area has been identified
as Critically Polluted Area. The proposed Ammonia ? Urea Fertilizer plant at
Sindri is not the part of the Sindri Industrial Area. Therefore the project location is
not in the Critically Polluted Area.

M/s FCIL have proposed to revive its closed unit for Ammonia-Urea
Plant within the existing plant premises of Sindri Fertilizer Complex at Sindri in
District Dhanbad in Jharkhand. The operation in the Sindri unit was stopped in
16th March 2002 and Government of India decided to close the unit on
10.09.2002. The BIFR confrrmed winding up on 2nd April, 2004. The proposed
project involves the manufacturing of chemical fertilizers which is listed at item no
item no. 5 (a) under Category A of EIA Notification 2006. The total land available
is about 6652 acres comprising of Plant and township. The natural gas
requirement of 2.2 MMSCMD will be supplied through Kakinada ? Haldia-
Jagdishpur pipeline from KG Basin. The end product is urea with plant capacity
of urea ? 3500 MTPD, Ammonia ? 2000 MTPD and captive power ? 25 MW
(1+1). The expected cost of project Total project cost will be Rs.4505 Crores.

available by fresh firing of natural gas in the HRSG of CPP. For emergency, 2000
KVA DG set would be installed. The approximate fuel (NG) consumption for
GTG/HRSG would be 202,608 Sm3/day and for Reformer would be 475,000
Sm3/day

Raw water requirement of about 20,664 m3/day will be met from Damodar
River through existing networks of pipeline. Sewage will be treated in STP. All
contaminated effluents will be treated and recycled. Plant washings
contaminated with oil shall be treated for oil removal and pumped into the
existing effluent disposal system, together with cooling water blow down.
The solid wastes generated in the proposed ammonia-urea plant are
spent catalysts, metal scraps, used bags & containers etc. The spent catalysts
would be sold to catalyst manufactures for recovery of valuable metals or stored

capacity for ATF is only 740 KL. 4 mild steel tanks (above ground) of different
capacities aggregating 6665 KL (Motor Spirit - 905 KL; Aviation Turbine Fuel ?
5760 KL) are proposed in the existing storage depot. 3 pumps, 2 tank lorry filling
bays and related piping etc. are also proposed to be installed/constructed. M/s
IOCL have already acquired 9.27 ha of land area for the depot. No additional
water requirement for water storage will be required for the additional facilities.
The additional facilities proposed will be accumulated with in the already
acquired area. The depot was established in 1997 conforming to the OISD
standards. The pipeline for the additional facilities will be laid above ground. The
railway line is at a distance of 200m.
Motor spirit will be stored in the floating roof tanks to minimize the air
pollution. Storm water from tank farm, pump house, TLF will be routed through oil
water separator before discharging the effluent. No solid waste will be
generated. Storage and distribution of petroleum products will be done in a
closed system with precautions to minimize hazards. The facilities/installations
will conform to standards laid by PESO & OISD. Existing water storage capacity
(2256 kl) and fire pumps (2X410kl/hour ) would be adequate to meet the

10.3.9 Installation of ?Emulsion Butadiene Rubber (E-SBR) Unit? at Panipat
Refinery, by Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. reg. TORs

M/s Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. have proposed for Installation of Emulsion-
Styrene Butadiene Rubber (E-SBR) Unit of capacity 120,000 MTPA with allied
facilities at Panipat Refinery in Panipat. The proposed project will be located in
the area adjacent to Panipat Naphtha Cracker Project of Panipat refinery which
would supply the feedstock and certain utilities for the project. No national
park/wild life sanctuary/ reserve forest is located within 10 km radius of the
project site. Land area of 28 acres for the proposed unit will be acquired through
state Government. Cost of the project is Rs. 761.00 crores.

The proposal was placed before the Expert Appraisal Committee-2 (I) in
its 7th meeting held during 15-16th January, 2010. The Committee noted that the
Panipat District is listed at Sl. no. 37 of the cluster/ industrial area of the report on
Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI). The CEPI score for
Panipat is 71.91 and is considered as critically polluted area. The Committee
advised that proposal may be returned as per circular No. J-11013/5/2010-IA.II
(I) dated 13th January, 2010 posted on the Ministry?s website www.envfor.nic.in .

Subsequently, Ministry issued circular dated 15th march, 2010 giving


further details on the critically polluted areas in which Panipat Municipal Limit and
its industrial areas are identified as critically polluted areas. M/s IOCL furnished
the clarification from the District Town planner, Panipat which mentions that the
area proposed for location of SBR project does not fall in the Municipal limit of
Panipat and neither falls under the industrial zone.

The SBR project based on butadiene available in C-4 stream at Panipat


Naphtha Cracker Complex (PNCP) is intended to establish the 1st World Scale
SBR capacity in the country. The project has been developed to maximize
sharing of critical utilities like steam and power from the PNCP. If the project at
Panipat does not materialize, the butadiene would be required to be
hydrogenated prior to being recycled as feed to Cracker, which would entail
additional cost by higher hydrogen consumption. Due to extraction of butadiene
and subsequent conversion to SBR there would be significant saving in hydrogen
consumption. Further, it is estimated that CO2 emission would be reduced by
5000kg/hr.

SBR is a value added product produced from butadiene and styrene and
is principally utilized for production of automotive tyres. At present there is no
SBR capacity in the country and the entire SBR requirement for tyre production is
imported. The proposed SBR project while enhancing the value addition of the
hydrocarbon chain would also be an import substitution project.
The project activity is listed at Sl. No. 5(e) of Environmental Impact
Assessment Notification, 2006 and is of ?A? category.

Land area require for the project is 60 acres. Water requirement of 3000
KLPD will be met from the existing raw water system facilities available at
Naphtha Cracking Unit. Waste water will be from process discharge, laboratory
and sanitary water. Waste water is basically sourced from coagulation, leaching,
dewatering press, exhaust gas scrubber in the finishing area and seal water for
pumps. Process Waste water is first directed to neutralization pit for
neutralization, and then transferred to the secondary treatment system by pump.
Waste water from each process area will be discharged to neutralization pit first
to adjust pH value within the required range, then discharged to liquid-solid
separator to trap coagulated rubber crumbs, and then sent through a waste water
treatment plant.

The solid / hazardous waste would be generated in the form of waste


rubber (20 MT/month) which would be sold or incinerated for steam generation.
185MT/month of waste butadiene and 5 MT/month of waste styrene would be
generated, which would be incinerated at the E-SBR complex for steam
generation. Flue gases would be dispersed through stacks. Waste lubricating oil
(0.6 MT/month) would be sent to Panipat Refinery for reprocessing and sludge
from ETP (8.5 MT/month) would be integrated with the existing setup.

The styrene tank is sealed with nitrogen and the discharge content has
little styrene vapor, which is not directly released to atmosphere. Waste gas
containing minor styrene vapor from the air stripper will be released to exhaust
gas scrubber and then dispersed through stack. The butadiene absorber is
provided for the absorption of butadiene. It has an exhaust pipe, which releases
inert gases from the butadiene system to prevent any pressure increase. This
equipment is running continuously, using diesel to absorb butadiene, organics
and then discharging inert gases to flare.

The project activities is listed at 5 (e) of the EIA Notification, 2006 and is of
?A? category and require appraisal by the Expert Appraisal Committee at the
Centre.

The Committee prescribed the following TORs for undertaking detail EIA
Study;
1. Executive summary of the project
2. Justification of the project.
3. Promoters and their back ground
4. Regulatory framework
5. Project location and Plant layout.

Nadiad, District Kheda in Gujarat by M/s Gluco Chem Industries ? Reg.
TORs

The project authorities and their consultant gave a detailed presentation


on the salient features of the project and the proposed environmental protection
measures to be undertaken along with the draft TORs for preparation of
EIA/EMP.

The proposal regarding manufacturing of chemicals viz Zinc Sulphate (2.5


MTPM), Gluconic acid (2MTPM), Ferrous Gluconate (15MTPM), Zinc Gluconate
(5 MTPM), Magnesium Gluconate ( 1 MTPM), Manganese Gluconate
(0.5MTPM), Copper Gluconate (0.5MTPM), Ferric Ammonium citrate (10MTPM) ,
Ferrous Glycine Sulphate (1 MTPM), Calcium Glubionate (1 MTPM), Calcium
Ferrous citrate (1MTPM) , Ferrous Ascorbate (2 MTPM) and Calcium citrate
Malate (2 MTPM) at Village- Dumral, Tehsil Nadiad, District Kheda in Gujarat by
M/s Gluco Chem Industries was placed before the Expert Appraisal Committee
to prescribe the Terms of Reference for undertaking detailed EIA study.

The activity regarding manufacturing of Synthetic organic chemicals is


listed at 5(f) of EIA Notification, 2006.

The company is already manufacturing zinc sulphate which is an inorganic


chemical. The Committee noted that all the products except Gluconic acid are
the inorganic chemicals. The proposal was discussed in detail. During the
discussion, the proponent informed the Committee that Gluconic acid will not be
manufactured and it will be purchased from the market.
The Committee noted that since the proponent proposed to manufacture
inorganic chemical which are not listed in the provisions of the Environmental
Impact Assessment Notification, 2006. Therefore, the Committee decided that
the proposal does not attract the provisions of the Environmental Impact
Assessment Notification, 2006. The proponent may give the commitment to the
Ministry that the gluconic acid which is an organic will not be manufactured. The
proponent have given commitment in this regard. However, it was decided the
proponent may obtain NOC under the Air and Water Acts and authorization
under the Hazardous Waste(Management , Handling and Trans boundary
Movement ) Rules, 2008 as may be applicable to this case.

The meeting ended with a Vote of Thanks to the Chair.

It was decided that next meeting will be held on 28th May, 2010.
