1.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT & ITS IMPORTANCE

Oil marketing companies have projected an increase in demand of Liquefied Petroleum

Gas (LPG) in future due to increase in its domestic use. The demand is likely to increase

substantially over the years to come. Even in the present scenario it is very difficult to

meet the market demand of Jodhpur and adjoining areas by Indian Oil Corporation

Limited. As per directive of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Government of

India, different Oil companies are required to augment / construct new facilities to meet

the growing demand. Over the last five years, there has been continuous increase in

capacity utilization of the bottling plant. In line with the requirement envisaged and to

ensure fulfillment of demand, Indian Oil Corporation Limited proposes to construct new

LPG Bottling Plant near Jodhpur with a storage capacity of 3 X 600 MT. This proposed

plant shall meet the short supply of LPG Cylinders in and around Jodhpur. This will also

meet the present and future house hold demands of people

1.3 DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT PROPOSAL

The present proposal has been submitted to SEIAA Rajasthan for obtaining EC for the

proposed bulk LPG storage capacity of 1800 MT to achieve the LPG bottling throughput

of 120 TMTPA. The throughput will be achieved by installing an Electronic carousel

having 2x 24 filling station within the Proposed Project site.

1.11 GEOMORPHOLOGY

Jodhpur district forms part of Great Thar Desert of Rajasthan. In this arid region, there

are sand dunes, alluvial areas dotted with few hillocks and hill chains scattered in the

area. In the eastern part of the district, the area between Bilara and Jodhpur is covered

by alluvium deposited due to the fluvial action of Luni river system. The eastern part of

the district exhibits gentle undulating topography interrupted by small ridges of hard

rocks. The general elevation of plains varies from 300 m amsl in north to 150 m amsl in

south. Regional slope is from north-east towards southwest direction. Orientation of

alluvial plain area follows the Luni River and its tributaries. Sand dunes occupy a major

part of the district north of Vindhyan escarpment in northern and northwestern part of

the district. The sand dunes are transverse and longitudinal type formed due to aeolian

action and overlies the denuded consolidated formations. Ridges composed of

comparatively resistive rocks like granite, rhyolite and Jodhpur sandstone are found

extending from Shergarh in the west to Bilara in the east. The alluvial and sand filled

valleys are separated by the ridges whose crest elevation ranges from 325 to 460 m

amsl. In the northern part of the district, highest peak of the hill is 284 m amsl. Presence

of boulder bed exhibit striking plain topography around Bap and low lying outcrops of

limestone, shale and sandstone layers are observed part of the district near Phalodi.

1.28 DESCRIPTION OF MOUNDED BULLETS

LPG is normally stored in above ground storage mainly spheres and cylindrical tanks,

namely, bullets & Horton spheres, the advantage being their accessibility for regular

inspection and maintenance which is important for such storage for hazardous service.

But these storages are susceptible to fire impingement and can give rise to Boiling

Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosions (BLEVE).

The reason for selecting mounded or buried bullets for LPG storage is to protect them

from direct flame impingement caused by any eventual fire in the surroundings and

thus prevent initiation of the sequence of events leading to an occurrence of BLEVE.

The mounded storage concept basically originated from Europe and specialized codes

exist in Germany such as: DIN 4681 Tl: Statutory Steel Pressure Vessels for Liquefied

Petroleum Gases for Earth Covered Installations, Dimensions and Equipment. During

construction phase, a slight increase in the ambient noise levels is anticipated. This

impact will be temporary and limited to the construction phase. Hence no permanent

impact on this account is expected. During the operational phase, no major social impact

in the general area is expected. There will be no change in the occupational structure of

the workforce. As there will be no emissions into air, no liquid effluents and no solid

wastes no negative impact on the health of the inhabitants in and around the project site

is expected.

1.28.1 SAFETY ASPECTS FOR SETTING UP MOUNDED BULLETS

• Mounded tanks are semi-conventional pressure vessels, covered by a layer of soil or

sand. By mounding LPG tanks with an adequate layer of sand and earth, the

possibility of fire engulfment and a BLEVE will be removed.

• Mounded vessel(s) placed on a firm foundation will not suffer from flotation. Thus

mounded tanks have the advantage over underground LPG tanks, which require

protection against possible floatation.

• Mounding allows safety distances around the facility to be considerably reduced,

compared to an equivalent unprotected design.

• The extra cost associated with a mounded system is offset by the lower cost of the

land required, and the virtual exclusion of fire fighting systems.


1.28.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

• Large volume of water required for the fire systems of conventional storage are

eliminated thus reducing the demand on valuable water sources, and problems

associated with the drainage and disposal of the water.

• Mounded LPG gas tanks can be landscaped to blend with the environment.

1.29 RAINWATER HARVESTING MEASURES

Storm water drains will be developed to collect run-off water from paved areas.

Recharge pits will set up at the site to harvest run-off water.

1.30 CORPORATE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

As per MoEF&CC Notification F.No.22-65/2017-IA.III Dated: 01/05/2018 CER policy,

1.5% of the project cost will be used for CER for various activities.

1.31 PROJECT COST & IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

Cost for the proposed LPG Bottling Plant at Khasra No.3, Village - Ujaliya, Bawari,

Jodhpur, Rajasthan is estimated to be around 229.8 Crores.
