1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction to Project & Project Proponent

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is India's largest commercial enterprise engaging in

the business of refining, pipeline transportation, marketing of petroleum products and also

involving in exploration production of crude oil gas, marketing of natural gas and

petrochemicals. IOCL accounts for nearly half of India’s petroleum products market share

owning 11 refineries. It is the 11th refinery of IOCL. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra

Modi dedicated the refinery cum Petrochemical Complex to Nation on 7th Feb 2016.

The refinery was commissioned in the year 2015with a capacity of 15 MMTPA has been set

up at an estimated cost of Rs. 34,555 crores. The major processing units provided were

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) 4.2 MMTPA, Crude/ Vacuum Distillation unit

(CDU/ VDU) 15 MMTPA, Delayed Coking unit 4.1 MMTPA, Diesel Hydro Treating Unit of

5.2 MMTPA, VGO hydro treatment Unit 5.4 MMTPA, Sulfur Recovery Unit 2 x 525 TPD +

1 TGTU.

Paradip Refinery has a unique INDMAX Unit technology, which is indigenously been

developed by Indian Oil's R&D Centre. The INDMAX (FCC) Unit has designed to produce

44% LPG, the highest yield from such plants. The commissioning of INDMAX Unit at

Paradip marks a major milestone in the history of Indian refining. With this, Indian Oil has

been recognized globally as a technology licensor. The other first-time technological features

of the Refinery include Flue Gas Desulphurisation facilities, Vapour Recovery system from

jetty loading and an alkylation process to get octane-rich low-benzene MS blend component,

etc.

The refinery can process 100% high Sulphur and heavy crude oil to produce various

petroleum products like Petrol and diesel BS-IV quality, kerosene, Aviation Turbine fuel,

Propylene, Sulphur and Petroleum Coke. The refinery has also designed to produce Euro-IV

premium quality Motor Spirit and other green auto fuel variants for export to advanced

countries. The products from the Refinery meet the energy demands of the domestic market

and partly the South-East Asia export market. The finished petroleum products from Paradip

Refinery being shipped to as far as Asia Pacific, Europe, USA, and to the demand centers in

the east of India, northeast and to some southern states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

EIA Report


Paradip Refinery has spread over a total area of 3,345 acres, including about 314 acres for

Residential and about 240 acres of land for other office and buildings. The area of 355 acres

is utilized for the connecting road in the total area. Land documents enclosed as Annexure 1.

The refinery is equipped with crude oil tanks to store High-Sulphur heavy crude, with

petroleum product & intermediate tanks (including for liquid Sulphur storage tanks). Apart

from these liquid storage facilities, there are LPG storage mounded bullets, propylene storage

mounded bullets, Hydrogen and alkylation feed mounded bullets. An elaborate infrastructure

is in place for pumping crude oil to the Paradip Refinery and for smooth, safe and efficient

movement of the finished products. This includes a crude oil unloading facility at Paradip

offshore with the first Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility on the east coast of India; a

complex cross-country product pipeline network; a marketing terminal with truck loading

bays and tank-wagon gantry; and an LPG terminal with facilities for road dispatch. But the

biggest crude receipt and product dispatch infrastructure of Paradip Refinery is the captive

South Oil Jetty, the first-of-its-kind in India made for a greenfield coastal refinery. The

products are dispatched through pipelines (20-25%), rail (20-25%), road (15-20%) & coastal

(40-50%) movements.

With an aim to add more value, a 0.680 MMTPA capacity Polypropylene (PP) Plant, based

on Propylene recovered from Cracked LPG generated from INDMAX Plant, is under

implementation and is scheduled for completion by 2019. The refinery also has plans to setup

an Ethylene Recovery Unit /Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) These units are expected to be

completed by 2020-21.

The existing refinery obtained several Environmental Clearances since 1997.Summary of

EC’s obtained enclosed as with latest EC obtained from MoEF vide: J-11011/344/2016-IA.

1.2 Purpose of the EIA report

The Government of India, Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change

(MoEF&CC), New Delhi, vide notification no. S. O. 1533 dated 14th September, 2006, and

its amendments, has made it mandatory to obtain ‘Prior Environmental Clearance (EC) ’ for

New projects listed in the schedule, Expansion and Modernization of existing projects listed

in the schedule, any change in product mix in the existing manufacturing unit falling within

the schedule to that notification from MoEF&CC (for Category A projects) or from SEIAA

(for Category B projects).

The EIA submission at MoEF&CC pertains to Proposed “Integrated Para-Xylene &

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PX-PTA) Project within the existing Refinery Complex,

Odisha. The Project falls under Schedule 5 (c) - “Petro-chemical complexes (industries based

on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to aromatics” Category

A, since all the projects under this schedule falls under “A” category as per EIA Notification

2006 and its subsequent amendments.

1.3 Brief description of the Project

Nature:M/s. IOCL, Paradip Refinery and Petrochemical Complex as a part of the compliance

to the regulatory requirement i.e., to obtain Environmental Clearance from MoEF& CC has

appointed M/s. Hubert Enviro Care Systems Private Limited, as EIA Consultant who is

accredited by National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET)- Quality

Council of India (QCI), New Delhi for Schedule 5(c) - “Petro-chemical complexes (industries

based on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to aromatics”

Category A.

Size:

The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) has commissioned in Fuel- Refinery

mode. The original configuration of PDRP included production of Petrochemical products,

viz. Polypropylene (PP), Paraxylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer (SM) based on Refinery

streams, in addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging demand growth of Purified

Terephthalic Acid (PTA), IOCL planned to install Integrated Paraxylene (PX) Units of 0.8

EIA Report


MMTPA and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA capacity at Paradip and associated utilities and

offsite facilities at Paradip Refinery.

Location:

The existing complex is located at Abhaychandrapur village, Jagatsinghpur District, Odisha

State. The site is located 3.6 Km from Paradip city towards NNE.

Importance to the Country & Region:

Eastern India does not have any economic size of PSF, PFY or PET resin plants. The first

PTA plant at IOCL Paradip can provide steady supply of feedstock PTA to PSF, PYF and

PET resin plants. The polyester resins/chips will further have processed to produce audio/

video tapes, x-ray films, photographic films, tapes, aseptic bottles for packing mineral water,

carbonated drinks, vegetable oil, cosmetics, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. Thus using PTA from

Paradip refinery plant at Odisha, a number of secondary and tertiary downstream industries

could be set-up by entrepreneurs who could bring large investment to the state of Odisha and

to Eastern India as a whole. This in turn would also help in generating larger employment

potential in the region.

1.4 EIA cost

EIA & CRZ study was undertaken by HECS for an amount of Rs.53,00,000 Lakhs (Inclusive

of GST).

1.5 Scope of the study & Methodology adopted

EIA is the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social

and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and

commitments made. These studies integrate the environmental concerns of developmental

activities into the process of decision – making.

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the possible impact, whether

positive or negative, that a proposed project may have on the environment, together

consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects, i.e., aiming at “Sustainable

Development” due to the project activities.

x. Geological features and Geo-hydrological status of the study area shall be included.

a.Geological features Geologically the study area including the site consisting of Alluvial formations of Recent geological age. These alluvial formations are developed by the action of Mahanadi river and Bay of Bengal sea. The alluvium developed due to the river action is designated as Fluvial alluvium. Similarly, the alluvium developed due to the sea action is named as Coastal Alluvium. The basement rocks are existing below 100m from the existing ground level. The geological formation of this district is entirely alluvium of recent origin. The entire district comes under Mahanadi Delta Division and Cuttack Coastal Plain.

b.Geo-hydrological status The study area including the project site is part of coastal and fluvial alluvium developed due to the deltaic nature

of Mahanadi River with Bay of Bengal. The area is covered with thick pile of younger and older alluvial formations to an extent of more than 100m bgl. Below the alluvium there are sandstone formations with intercalation of clay beds are reported which are part of

ParadeepTechtonic Depression of Mahanadi Basin. These sedimentary formations are extended more than 900m thickness which are successively underlined with

basement crystalline rocks. Groundwater occurs in semi-confined to unconfined nature in the alluvial formations within the study area. There are potential shallow fresh water aquifers existing within the study area at 10 to 20m depth from the existing

ground levels. The existing bore wells it is understood that the groundwater level is between 3 to 4 mbgl. Below the fresh water aquifers there are saline water aquifers which are present at 40 to 50m bgl within the alluvial

formations. The deeper aquifer system is also present within the Paradeep Depression in deep seated sedimentary formations.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

EIA Report


2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 Project Description

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has set up grass root refinery at Paradip with a crude

processing capacity of 15.0 MMTPA. The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) has

commissioned in Fuel- Refinery mode. The original configuration of PDRP included production

of Petrochemical products, viz. Polypropylene (PP), Paraxylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer

(SM) based on Refinery streams, in addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging

demand growth of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), IOCL planned to install Integrated

Paraxylene (PX) Units of 0.8 MMTPA and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA capacity at Paradip and

associated utilities and offsite facilities at Paradip Refinery.

Paradip Refinery ventured into Petrochemical segment with inclusion of 0.680 MMTPA capacity

Polypropylene (PP) Plant, 332 KT MEG plant and the proposed 1.2 MMTPA capacity Purified

Terephthalic Acid (PTA) plant.

PTA is a non-hazardous, solid white powder, which is the preferred raw material and the basic

building block to produce Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF), Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY), bottle

and industrial grade polyester resin, polyester chips and so on. PSF and PFY are substitutes for

natural cotton and widely used for production of textiles and garments. Eastern India does not

have any economic size of PSF, PFY or PET resin plants. The first PTA plant at IOCL Paradip

can provide steady supply of feedstock PTA to PSF, PYF and PET resin plants. The polyester

resins/chips will further have processed to produce audio/ video tapes, x-ray films, photographic

films, tapes, aseptic bottles for packing mineral water, carbonated drinks, vegetable oil,

cosmetics, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. Thus using PTA from Paradip refinery plant at Odisha, a

number of secondary and tertiary downstream industries could be set-up by entrepreneurs who

could bring large investment to the state of Odisha and to Eastern India as a whole. This in turn

would also help in generating larger employment potential in the region.

Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) plant is also being set-up at Paradip Refinery and used as a raw

material to manufacture items like polyester fibre, textiles. The above PP, MEG and PTA plant

products shall be building blocks for envisaged Plastic & Textile Park respectively in Odisha.

EIA Report


2.1.1 Type of Project

M/s Indian Oil Corporation limited, Paradip Refinery proposes “Integrated Para-Xylene &

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PX-PTA) Project at IOCL Paradip Refinery & Petrochemical

Complex, Paradip, Odisha. The Project is under Schedule 5 (c) - “Petro-chemical complexes

(industries based on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to

aromatics” Category A, since all the projects under this schedule falls under “A” category.

2.2 Need of the project

The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) had commissioned in Fuel Refinery mode.

The original configuration of PDRP included production of Petrochemical products, viz.

Polypropylene (PP), Para-xylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer (SM) based on Refinery streams, in

addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging demand growth of Purified Terephthalic

Acid (PTA), feasibility study had carried for Integrated PX and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA

capacity each at Paradip. As per Market Report, there is a deficit of about 2.2 MMTPA PTA in

India by 2024. So in order to meet the market potential IOCL proposed the above project.

2.3 Site Location

The existing complex is located at Abhaychandrapur village, Jagatsinghpur District, Odisha

State. The site is located 3.6 Km from Paradip city towards NNE. Index map of the project site is

given in Figure 2-1. Base map showing area within 15Km, 10Km (Figure 2-4), 5Km (Figure

2.7 Project Details

2.7.1 Existing Facility

Crude Oil is processed in Crude and Vacuum Distillation Unit (CDU/VDU). In CDU, crude

oil is the first heated in a heat exchanger train. It is then heated in a furnace; fractionated in

Crude Distillation Column where physical separation takes place based on boiling point

difference. The top product is LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), which is splitted in C3 and C4

components. C4 component is further processed in Alkylation Unit (Sulphuric Acid as

catalyst) consisting of acid regeneration facility and n-butane Isomerisation, for production of

Alkylate which is used for boosting octane value of Motor Spirit (MS).

EIA Report


The 2nd fraction from CDU is Naphtha which is hydrotreated and splitted into Light and

Heavy Naphtha. The Heavy Naphtha along with Coker Heavy Naphtha and FCC Heavy

Naphtha is sent to PX Complex for production of Para Xylene. The PX complex comprises of

Naphtha Hydrotreating Unit, Continuous Catalytic Reformer. The Light Naphtha is sent as

feed to Hydrogen Generation Unit/Naphtha Pool.

The 3rd fraction from CDU is Kero Cut, which is treated in ATF Treatment Unit to remove

undesirable sulphurous compounds to produce Superior Kerosene and ATF.

The 4th fraction from CDU is Diesel cut which is hydrotreated in DHDT to produce 10 ppm

‘S’ HSD and 50 ppm ‘S’ HSD.

The reduced crude oil from CDU is processed in Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU). VGO

(Vacuum Gas Oil) from VDU is hydrotreated in VGOHDT Unit and then processed in FCC

(Fluidised Catalytic Cracker). The VGOHDT Unit processes a VGO feed with around 3%

sulphur and 0.7% Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR) and produces low sulphur and low CCR

feed for FCC through hydrotreatment. FCC produces petrochemical feed stocks such as

Ethylene, FCC LPG containing Propylene, and also FCC Naphtha, FCC Light Cycle Oil

(HSD component) and Clarified Oil, a component routed to (Delayed Coker Unit) DCU or

blended in Internal Fuel Oil. The Hydrogen requirement of DHDT and VGO-HDT unit is

met from its production in Hydrogen Generation Unit (HGU).

Residue from VDU is processed in DCU (Delayed Coker Unit), which is a secondary

processing unit to improve distillate yield besides producing coke. Part residue is used as

High Sulphur Fuel Oil in utility boilers with Flue gas desulphurisation in refinery operations.

Propylene is separated from C3/ C4 stream from FCC to produce Propylene, which is further

processed to produce Polypropylene.

MEG will be produced from ethylene and oxygen. Ethylene is recovered from FCC off gas

via Ethylene Recovery Unit and Oxygen from air through Air Separation Unit.

Gases from cracking units & hydrotreatment units are amine treated and H2S rich gas is

processed in SRU (Sulphur Recovery Units) to produce Sulphur. The Schematic diagram of

Existing Refinery is given in Figure 2-5

2.7.4 Proposed Facility

2.7.4.1 Technology & Process Description

Feed for the proposed PX-PTA plant will be Reformate, which is produced by processing

Naphtha in CCRU. Reformate will be processed in the PX plant to produce PX, which will

further be processed in the PTA plant for production of PTA.The Overall Process flow diagram

of PX-PTA unit is given in Figure 2-8

2.7.4.1.1 Paraxylene (PX)

Reformate is utilized for production of MS as well as PX. By-products of the PX plant viz.

Raffinate and Heavy Aromatics will be blend in MS/Naphtha pools. The other product, Toluene

from PX plant will be sold to merchants. The process diagram of PX unit is given in Figure 2-9

Fuel gas from the PX complex will be routed to the refinery Fuel Gas header

Paraxylene Unit has a capacity of 0.8 MMTPA. Brief description of the unit is given below:

Paraxylene Unit consists of the following blocks:

Xylene Fractionation Unit

Sulfolane Unit (Extractive Distillation)

Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit

Tatoray Unit

Parex Unit

Isomar Unit

a) Xylenes Fractionation Unit

Feed to the Xylenes Fractionation Unit emanates from three sources, coming in the form of

Debutanizer bottoms from the CCR Platforming Unit, Toluene Column bottoms from the

Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit and Deheptanizer bottoms from the Isomar Unit.

The Plat forming Unit’s Debutanizer bottoms is feed to the Reformate Splitter. The Light

Reformate, i.e. the Reformate Splitter overhead liquid product, is pumped to the Feed Surge

Drumin the ED Sulfolane Unit. The Reformate Splitter net bottoms, consisting of C8+aromatics,

EIA Report


are heated in the Clay Treater Feed Heater prior to entering the Clay Treaters. The Clay Treaters

are responsible for removing olefinic material from the feed to the Xylene Columns. The

effluent flow from the Clay Treaters is divided into two equally flowing streams; each acting as

a feed to one of the two Xylene Columns. The flow rate of each of these two streams is reset by

the level in the bottom of the Reformate Splitter.

In order to mitigate flare loads, this unit design employs the use of two identical Xylene

Columns with identical overhead systems. In addition to receiving an equal amount of

Reformate Splitter bottoms feed, each Xylene Column also receives an equal amount of

Deheptanizer bottoms feed and an equal amount of Toluene Column bottoms feed, both of

which consist primarily of mixed xylenes. The Deheptanizer bottoms are fed to the Xylene

Column at the upper feed tray location. The Toluene Column bottoms combine with the

Reformate Splitter bottoms prior to entering the Xylene Column at the lower feed tray location.

Overhead vapors from Xylene Column No 1 are condensed in the hot (shell) sides of Parex

Raffinate Column Reboiler A, Parex Extract Column Reboiler A, and Isomar Deheptanizer

Reboiler A. Similarly, overhead vapors from Xylene Column No 2 are condensed in the hot

(shell) sides of Parex Raffinate Column Reboiler B, Parex Extract Column Reboiler B, and

Isomar Deheptanizer Reboiler B. Condensed material from each train is pressured up to each

system’s respective Xylene Column Receiver. From here, the net overhead liquid is pumped

from each receiver to one of two Parex Feed Surge Drums.Each surge drum effluent stream is

fed to the Parex Unit by two pumps operating in parallel. Prior to feeding the Parex Unit,

however, the pump discharge streams combine into a single stream that is cooled by the

Deheptanizer Feed-Parex Feed Exchanger in the Isomar Unit.

Each Xylene Column employs the use of two fired heaters operating in parallel to reboil the

circulating bottoms material. There is a large degree of heat integration involved with the

Xylene Column circulating bottoms systems. During normal operation, the circulating bottoms

from Xylene Column No 1 are used as heat transfer media for the Parex Desorbent Rerun

Column Reboiler, Clay Treater Feed Heater, Heavy Aromatics Column Reboiler, and Parex

Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboiler A. Meanwhile, the circulating bottoms from Xylene

Column No2 are used as heat transfer media for the Tatoray Stripper Reboiler and Parex

Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboiler B. Although this describes the flow scheme during normal

EIA Report


operation, the circulating bottoms systems were designed such that each train is capable of

providing 100 percent of the duty required by any heat user, with the exception of the Parex

Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboilers. In the case of these heat users, Auxiliary Reboiler A will

only accommodate flow from train one and Auxiliary Reboiler B will only accommodate flow

from train two.

The Xylene Column net bottoms material is comprised of C9+aromatics.Netbottoms streams

from each Xylene Column combine into a single stream prior to feeding the Heavy Aromatics

Column. Here, the C9 and C10 aromatics are taken overhead, condensed, and pumped to the

Feed Surge Drumin the Tatoray Unit. Overhead vapors from the Heavy Aromatics Column are

condensed both by an air cooler and by the Reformate Splitter Feed Heater, as hell and tube

exchanger responsible for heating the Debutanizer bottoms feed from the Plat forming Unit.

Heavier C11+aromatics are pumped from the bottom of the Heavy Aromatics Column to the

Fuel Oil System.

b) Sulfolane Process Unit (Extractive Distillation)

The Sulfolane process uses extractive distillation to recover high purity aromatics from a light

reformates feed stock.

Feed to the unit is obtained from the overhead of the Reformate Splitter in the Xylenes

Fractionation Unit, and from the bottoms stream of the Stripper in the Isomar Process unit.

Extractive distillation is the method used to separate close-boiling components using a solvent

that alters the volatility between the components. The solvent is generally a polar compound

having a boiling point higher than the mixture. When applied to extractive distillation, the

volatility of the aromatics is depressed relative to the other components in the mixture such that

the non-aromatics can be distilled overhead in the Extractive Distillation Column.

There are two primary columns in the extractive distillation unit, they are the Extractive

Distillation Column and the Recovery Column (or solvent stripper column). Aromatic feed,

typically pre-fractionated, is directed to the Extractive Distillation Column.

It exchanges heat with the lean solvent and enters a central stage of the trayed column. The lean

solvent is introduced near of top of the Extractive Distillation column.

EIA Report


Combining solvent and feed alters the relative volatilities of the components to be separated

because of the non-ideal behavior of the mixture. This is the key to the process. The selectivity

of the solvent renders aromatics relatively less volatile than the non-aromatics.

As the hydrocarbon vapor stream flows up the Extractive Distillation column, counter- current

to the descending solvent, the aromatics are selectively absorbed.

The function of the upper section of the Extractive Distillation Column is to maximize aromatic

recovery. The overhead vaporis non-aromatic and is referred to as the raffinate. These vapors

are condensed and sent to storage. A portion of the raffinate liquid is used as column reflux to

rectify entrained solvent out of the overhead product. Overhead water is collected in the

Extractive Distillation Column Receiver water boot and returned to the column. The Extractive

Distillation Column is reboiled with steam. There is are boiler preheater to recover heat from the

lean solvent to reduce steam consumption in the reboiler.

In the lower section of the Extractive Distillation Column, the non-aromatics are preferentially

stripped out of the liquid and enter the upper portion of the column as a vapor phase due to the

solvents electivity, which has made the saturates relatively more volatile than the aromatics.

Again, because of finite selectivity, some aromatics, primarily benzene, are stripped into the

upper section of the column where they must be re-absorbed. The lower section of the Extractive

Distillation Column serves the function of aromatics purification.

The Extractive Distillation Column bottoms will contain solvent and highly purified aromatics.

This material is sent to the Recovery Column (solvent stripper column). In this column,

aromatics are separated from solvent under vacuum with steam stripping. The overhead aromatic

product, depending on the composition (BorBT) is condensed and sent to storage or to clay

treating prior to product fractionation. A portion of the extract liquid is used as reflux to remove

residual solvent from the extract vapors. The Recovery Column is reboiled with steam. Water is

collected in the Recovery Column Receiver water boot and is directed to the steam generator.

This generator (heated by exchange with the Recovery Column bottoms) produces the stripping

steam that is returned to the bottom of the Recovery Column via the Solvent Regenerator.

Solvent is purified of residual hydrocarbons as it flows down the Recovery Column.At the

bottom of the Recovery Column the solvent is essentially pure Sulfolane with a small amount of

EIA Report


water. This is then returned to the Extractive Distillation Column as lean solvent. A slip stream

of lean solvent is directed to a Solvent Regenerator to remove any degradation products.

c) Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit

The Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit consists of two fractionation columns, the Benzene

Column and the Toluene Column, and a set of two Clay Treaters. The purpose of this unit is to

separate a purified benzene product from the C7+ aromatics, as well as separating toluene from

C8+ aromatics so that the toluene can be sent to the Tatoray unit and to gasoline blending and

the C8+ material can feed the Xylene Fractionation Unit. There are three separate feed streams

that enter the Benzene Toluene Fractionation Unit. They consist of the overhead material from

the ED Sulfolane Recovery Column, the overhead material from the Parex Finishing Column,

and the bottoms material from the Tatoray Stripper.

Overhead material from the ED Sulfolane Recovery Column is preheated by the Clay Treater

Charge Exchanger then heated to the Clay Treater process temperature by the Clay Treater

Charge Heater. Feed flows downward through the Clay Treaters where olefins are removed. The

effluent from the Clay Treaters is cooled in the Clay Treater Charge Exchanger before mixing

with overhead material from the Parex Finishing Column and the Stripper Bottoms product from

the Tatoray Unit. The combined feed stream then enters the Benzene Column. The Benzene

Column feed from the Clay Treater Charge Tank contains saturated water, which is removed in

the Benzene Column Receiver.

The Benzene Column produces a side-draw benzene product, which is cooled and sent to

storage. The toluene-rich Benzene Column bottoms product is heat exchanged with the Toluene

liquid from the Toluene Column Receiver and fed the Toluene Column. The Toluene Column

overhead vapor stream is condensed and the net product is sent to the Tatoray Unit and gasoline

blending. The Toluene Column bottoms stream feeds the Xylene Column in the Xylenes

Fractionation Unit.

d) Tatoray Process Unit

The Tatoray Process Unit flow scheme consists of a fixed-bed reactor and a product separation

section. The fresh feed to the Tatoray unit comes from the overhead of the Toluene Column in

the Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit and the overhead of the Heavy Aromatics Column in

EIA Report


the Xylenes Fractionation Unit. Feed is first combined with hydrogen-rich recycle gas in the

Combined Feed Exchanger where it is preheated and vaporized by exchange with the hot reactor

effluent. The feed is heated to reaction temperature in the Charge Heater before entering the

Reactor. Feed flows down-flow over the catalyst bed. There act or effluent is then cooled by

exchange with the combined feed, condensed, and sent the Separator.

Hydrogen-rich recycle gas leaves the top of the Separator and is compressed in the Recycle

Compressor. The recycle gas is mixed with makeup gas from the hydrogen central distribution

system. The combined recycle gas joins the liquid feed upstream of the Combined Feed

Exchanger.

A portion of the gas from the top of the Separator is vented to remove accumulated light ends

from the recycle gas loop. This vent is sent to the fuel gas header.

Liquid from the bottom of the Separator is preheated in the Stripper Feed-Overhead Exchanger

and Stripper Feed-Bottoms Exchanger before entering the Stripper. The light ends and a small

portion of the benzene go overhead from the Stripper and are cooled and separated into gas and

liquid products.

The Stripper Vent Condenser on the Stripper Receiver maximizes benzene recovery. The

Stripper overhead vapor is sent to fuel gas.

The benzene and xylene products, together with the unreacted toluene and C9/C10Aromatics,

come from the bottom of the Stripper, are cooled in the Stripper Feed- Bottoms Exchanger, and

finally go to the Benzene Column in the Benzene-

TolueneFractionationUnit.TheStrippernetoverheadliquidissenttotheIsomarStripperto remove the

light ends.

e) Parex Process Unit

The purpose of the Parex unit is to separate Paraxylene from all other C8 Aromatics. The Parex

process belongs to the UOP family of adsorption separation technologies based on the Sorbex

separation concept.

The mixed Xylenes feed from the Xylene Fractionation Unit is first heated in the Deheptanizer

Feed- Parex Feed exchanger located in the Isomar unit. A temperature controller adjusts the flow

EIA Report


through the heat exchanger to hold the temperature of the Parex feed at the desired value of 147

ºC.

This unit has two parallel adsorption trains and a common Fractionation Section.

The total feed enters the unit and then splits equally into two streams going to identical adsorbent

trains. The feed then passes through the Feed Filter. The filter, remove any particulate matter that

may damage the rotary valve or plug the adsorbent bed internals. The feed from the feed filter

passes through the feed flow controller and into the Rotary valve. The Rotary Valves control the

flow of feed, Desorbent, Extract and Raffinate streams to and from each set of Adsorbent

Chambers.

The separation takes place in the adsorbent chambers. Each adsorbent chamber is divided into

twelve adsorbent “beds”. Each bed of adsorbent is supported from below by a specialized grid,

which also contains highly engineered flow distributors to inject or withdraw liquid from the

individual adsorbent beds, or redistribute the liquid over the cross-sectional area of the adsorbent

chamber. Each flow distributor is connected to the Rotary valve by a bed line piping.

Each train has 24 adsorbent beds with grids and 24 bed lines connecting the grids to the Rotary

Valve. Due to practical construction considerations, the 24 adsorbent beds are contained in two

adsorption chambers in series with 12 beds in each chamber.

At any given time, only four of the bed lines are active, carrying the net streams into and out of

the adsorbent chamber. The Rotary Valve is used to periodically switch the positions of the

liquid feed and withdrawal points as the composition profile moves down the adsorbent chamber.

Chamber Circulation pumps provide the liquid circulation from the bottom of one adsorbent

chamber to the top of the other.

The dilute extract from the Rotary Valve is heated in the Extract Column Feed- Bottoms

exchanger before feeding the Extract Column. The overhead vapor from the Extract Column is

condensed in the Extract Column Condenser and collected in the Extract Column Receiver,

which floats on the flare header through the Parex Vent Drum.

During normal operation the pressure drop through the Extract Column Condenser, the overhead

vapor line, and the line from the condenser to the receiver will be stable enough that additional

EIA Report


control of the extract column pressure is not required. A nitrogen purge is provided to the vent

from the receiver to prevent material from returning from the vent to the receiver as the level in

the receiver changes.

The Extract Column Overhead Pumps provide reflux to the top of the column and also the net

overhead liquid, which is sent to the Finishing Column after getting preheated in the Finish

Column Feed-Bottoms exchanger. The Extract Column is reboiled using heat from the Xylene

Column overhead vapors in the Extract Column Reboiler. Desorbent from the Extract Column

Bottoms Pumps is cooled in the Extract Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger and the Desorbent

Cooler.

A temperature differential transmitter is used between two of the Extract Column trays to

monitor the temperature profile of the column. Adjusting the flow of the net extract stream

enables the control of the composition for the extract.

An on-line analyzer monitors the overhead content of desorbent and helps in monitoring the

desorbent loss with the extract.

The net overhead liquid from the Extract Column is heated in the Finishing Column Feed-

Bottoms exchanger and passes to the Finishing Column. The column is reboiled using

desuperheated MP steam in the Finishing Column Reboiler. The para-xylene product leaves the

Finishing Column Bottoms Pumps under level control in finishing column and is cooled in the

Finishing Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger, the Para xylene Cooler and the Para xylene Trim

Cooler and is stored in Para xylene day tank.

It would then intermittently be pumped out to Paraxylene product storage tank in offsites through

Paraxylene Transfer Pumps. The overhead vapor from the Finishing Column is condensed in the

Finishing Column Condenser. From the Finishing Column condenser, the liquid flows into the

Finishing Column Receiver.

The Finishing Column Overhead Pumps provide the reflux to the top of the column and also the

net overhead toluene, which is sent to the Benzene Column in the B-T Fractionation Unit.

EIA Report


Similar to the extract column the overhead receiver pressure floats with the relief header and a

nitrogen purge line is provided to the vent line from the receiver to prevent material from

returning from the vent to the receiver as the level in the receiver changes.

The Rotary Valves direct the raffinate from the Adsorbent Chambers to the Raffinate Column

Feed-Bottoms Exchanger where it is heated upstream of the Raffinate Column (049-C-001).

Vapors from the Desorbent Rerun Column are also directed to the feed tray of the Raffinate-

column. The column is reboiled using the Xylene Column overhead vapors in the Raffinate

Column Reboiler and circulating bottoms from Xylene column in the Raffinate Column

Auxiliary Reboiler. The desorbent leaves the Raffinate Column Bottoms Pumps and is cooled in

the Raffinate Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger and the Desorbent Cooler and is returned to the

Adsorbent Chambers through the Rotary Valve after being filtered in the Desorbent Filter.

The overhead vapor from the Raffinate Column is condensed in the Raffinate Column Condenser

and the liquid is collected in the Raffinate Column Receiver. Any uncondensed vapor leaves the

receiver and is further cooled in the Raffinate Column Vent Condenser and the liquid is collected

in the Raffinate Column Vent Drum, which floats on the Parex Vent Drum. Liquid from the vent

drum runs back to the receiver and the total reflux is provided to the column using the Raffinate

Column Reflux Pumps. Any water collected in the receiver is sent to the wastewater treatment

plant (By others).

A Raffinate side cut is taken from near the top of the column and collected in the Raffinate

Column Sidecut Surge Drum before going to the Isomar Unit.

During operation of the unit the heavy contaminants present in the feed will accumulate in the

desorbent. To prevent this accumulation part of the desorbent leaving the Raffinate column is

directed to Desorbent Rerun Column. The column is reboiled using Circulating bottoms from

Xylene Column in the Desorbent Rerun Column Reboiler The overhead vapors are directed to

the Raffinate column. Heavy contaminants are removed from the bottom of the column.

Bottoms material from the Desorbent Rerun Column is removed on an intermittent basis. The

heavy aromatics stream will be routed to the Heavy Aromatics Column Bottoms Cooler in the

Xylene fractionation unit and then routed to the fuel oil system.

EIA Report


The Desorbent Rerun Column Bottoms Pumps, which are of proportioning type, withdraw a

fixed quantity of heavy aromatics from the Desorbent rerun column. The Desorbent Rerun

Column bottom level is maintained by regulating the duty of the Desorbent Rerun Column

Reboiler through the LIC/FIC control.

The Desorbent Storage Tank provides the storage capacity for the desorbent makeup. The

desorbent storage tank is an atmospheric tank which is nitrogen blanketed. The makeup

desorbent is routed to the Desorbent Rerun column using the Desorbent Makeup Pump.

A Plant Inventory Storage Tank is provided to store the material in the unit in the event of a

shutdown or a period of maintenance. Desorbent mixed with other process fluids are stored in the

plant inventory tank. This tank is an atmospheric tank that is nitrogen blanketed.

The Parex Sump Tank is provided to collect the material vented and drained from the equipment

during the normal operation and maintenance to conserve the valuable desorbent. The desorbent

sump tank is a horizontal vessel located below grade to facilitate draining of process equipment.

The Parex Sump Tank Pump provides the necessary hydraulic head to move the material in the

sump tank to the plant inventory tank. The Parex Sump Tank Pumpout Cooler cools the material

before being routed to the Plant Inventory Storage Tank.

The Desorbent Pumpout Cooler and Desorbent Pumpout Trim Cooler cools the material from the

Parex Unit sufficiently for storage in an atmospheric tank. This is also used during startup and

commissioning operations.

f) Isomar Process Unit

An Isomar unit is always associated with the recovery of one or more xylene isomers. In this

case the Isomar Unit is combined with the UOP Parex process for recovery of paraxylene.

Fresh mixed xylene feed is first sent to a Xylene Column in the Xylene Fractionation Unit,

which rejects C9+ aromatic components in order to meet feed specifications to the Parex unit.

The Xylene Column overhead, containing less than 500 ppm C9+ aromatics, is then directed to

the Parex unit where para-xylene is recovered. The raffinate from the Parex unit, containing less

than 1 wt% para-xylene, is then sent to the Isomar unit which produces para-xylene from the

EIA Report


other C8 aromatics. This C8 aromatics stream, Deheptanizer bottoms, is recycled back to the

Xylene Column completing the loop.

The feed to the Isomar unit is first cooled by exchange with the Deheptanizer feed. By lowering

the feed temperature, the duty on the Combined Feed Exchanger increases and the duty on the

Product Condenser is decreased, thus reducing its size. The feed is then combined with

hydrogen-rich recycle gas and make-up gas to replace the small amount of hydrogen consumed

in the Isomar reactor. The combined feed is then vaporized by exchange with reactor effluent in

the Combined Feed Exchanger and then heated to reactor operating temperature in the Charge

Heater. The hot vapor feed is then sent to the Reactor where it is passed radially through a fixed

bed of catalyst. The reactor effluent is cooled by exchange with the combined feed, condensed in

the Product Condenser and then sent to the Separator. To maintain the correct catalyst hydration

level required for optimum catalyst performance, water is injected into the reactor feed upstream

of the Combined Feed Exchanger.

Hydrogen-rich gas is taken off the top of the Separator and recycled back to the Reactor using a

motor driven Recycle Compressor. A small portion of the recycle gas is sometimes purged to

remove accumulated light ends from the recycle gas loop. Liquid from the bottom of the

Separator is heated on its way to the Deheptanizer by two exchangers: The Deheptanizer Feed

Isomar Feed Exchanger, and the Deheptanizer Feed-Parex Feed Exchanger.

The C7- overhead from the Deheptanizer is cooled and separated into gas and liquid products.

The Deheptanizer overhead gas is chilled and separated with the chilled vapor exported to a low

pressure fuel gas system while chilled liquid is returned to the column overhead receiver. The

receiver liquid, along with Tatoray Stripper overhead liquid is sent to the Stripper to remove

water and light hydrocarbons from the overhead product before it is sent to the ED Sulfolane

Unit. The C8+ fraction from the bottom of the Deheptanizer is then recycled back to the Xylene

Column.

2.7.4.1.2 Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) Unit has a capacity of 1.2 MMTPA. Brief description of the

unit is given below;

EIA Report


Terephthalic acid is produced by oxidizing para-xylene with air in an acetic acid solvent. The

unique catalyst system contains ionic forms of cobalt, manganese, and bromine. Although other

catalyst systems can be used, they do not provide the same conversion and reaction selectivity.

The reaction releases a large amount of heat, which can be removed by allowing some of the

solvent to boil. Water is a co-product. The process diagram of PTA unit is given in Figure 2-10

and Figure 2-11

Process Reaction: -

PTA Plant consists of the following two section:

TA Slurry Section

Purified Terephthalic Acid Section

a) TA Slurry Section

The Oxidation Plant is designed for continuous operation and consists of five main sections:

Reaction, TA Slurry Crystallisation, TA Solvent Interchange, Catalyst Feed and Solvent

Treatment.

In the Reaction section paraxylene feedstock is mixed with acetic acid solvent and catalyst

solution and reacted with air. The major proportion of the terephthalic acid produced in the

exothermic reaction is precipitated in the reactor to form slurry. The reactor vapours pass

through a two stage rectifier column which allows recovery of acetic acid, and excess reactor

water is withdrawn from the overheads aqueous condensate.

In the TA Crystallisation section the reactor exit slurry is depressurised and cooled in a series of

three crystallising vessels. The precipitated terephthalic acid product is recovered and transferred

directly to the Purification Plant by continuous filtration incorporating Solvent Interchange. A

proportion of the mother liquor generated in this stage is purged to the Solvent Stripper via the

TA Mother Liquor Filter.

In the Catalyst Feed section, fresh catalyst is imported and the flow adjusted to produce a

catalyst solution for feed to the Reaction Section.

In the Solvent Treatment Section, impure solvent recovered from the Reaction and TA Solvent

Interchange Sections, is processed to remove acetic acid and water from the higher boiling

reaction by-products. The recovered solvent is fractionated to remove low boiling impurities, and

produces clean acetic acid solvent for re-use in the Oxidation Plant. The higher-boiling by-

products are quench cooled in water and the resulting slurry transferred to a TA Residues

Recovery Unit for recovery of catalyst, intermediates and by-products from the residues. The

b) Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA Section)

TA Slurry (TA) product from the Oxidation Plant contains a small quantity of impurities which

must be removed before the material can be used in the manufacture of polyester products. This

is achieved in the Purification Plant by selective catalytic hydrogenation of an aqueous solution

of TA slurry at elevated temperature and pressure. Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is

subsequently crystallised and recovered by employing solid/liquid separation and drying steps.

The principal impurity, 4 Carboxy- Benzaldehyde (4CBA), is hydrogenated to para- Toluic Acid.

The para-Toluic Acid, being more soluble in water than PTA, remains in aqueous solution during

the subsequent crystallisation and product recovery stages. The equipment list of PTA process

2.16 Water Pollution Control Measures

In Paradip Refinery, to treat waste water, a state-of-the-art ETP with VOC capture system has

been installed. The typical configuration of ETP of Paradip Refinery consists of:

American Petroleum Institute (API) separator

Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI)

Oily Dissolved Air Floatation (Oily-DAF)

Bio Tower

Aeration Tank and Clarifier

Biological Dissolved Air Floatation (Bio-DAF)

VOC Removal Facility

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Waste water collection systemAPI/TPI Equalization tank Oily DAF Bio Tower

Aeration Tank Clarifier Bio DAF Final collection Basin. Oil recovered in API/TPI

is collected in Slop tank. VOC system is installed all the oil laden sources like Slop Tank,

Brine Tank, Equalization Tank and Oily DAF.

The Refinery Effluents contains pollutants like oil (Free and Emulsified) BOD, COD and

suspended solids, which are required to be removed before discharging the effluent for

further reuse. Primary treatment is provided for the part removal of free oil in the influent in

the units like API separator followed by TPI separator. Emulsified oil will be removed in the

secondary Oil Separation units like DAF System. Here coagulant and flocculent used for

better separation.

After Secondary Oil removal the influent is led into biological treatment for removal of BOD.

Here, Bio Tower (attached growth process) and Aeration (suspended growth process) are two

biological treatment system. Oil free water undergoes bacteriological treatment under aerobic

condition for removal of COD and BOD. Then suspended flocs from aeration tank are

removed in the clarifier. Clear supernatant routed to bio DAF wherein suspended solids

removed with pressurized stream from treated effluent. This effluent is collected in the check

basin which is a feed to RO system.

There is also sludge treatment facility. The Sludge is categorized as Oily Sludge and Bio-

Sludge and is treated separately. The Bio Sludge is thickened and dewatered separately and

then sent for final disposal as manure. The Oily Sludge will be thickened and pumped to

DCU unit for further processing

After primary and secondary treatment completed in ETP section, treated effluent collected in

check basin is sent for tertiary treatment for achieving maximum recycle. Tertiary treatment

comprises the following:

Treated effluent from check basinRGSF Basket Strainer UF Skid Cartridge filter

RO skid RO Permeate tank UCR for reuse

During the process of filtration in RGSF (Rapid Gravity Sand Filter), the impurities are

removed from water. They precipitate in the voids between the grains of the filter bed. The

specific grain size is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.

After filtration, basket strainers are provided for trapping any sand particles that may leak out

and go into ultra-filtration system thus causing choking in the UF system.

Ultra-filtration is a membrane process in which a porous membrane is used to separate or

reject colloidal and particulate matter.

UF permeate then enter into the Micron cartridge filter for removal of particle of size upto 5

micron. Then the output enters into the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. Two stage RO system

having 5 skids is installed to get the desired output @ 78% recovery.

Then finally RO permeate passed through the degasser tower to reduce CO2 before sending it

to UCR for reuse in DM plant and CT make up. The Flow diagram of ETP and WRP is given

in Figure 2-26 and Figure 2-27 respectively. The Treated effluent characteristics is given in

Table 2-29. Latest Analysis report of effluent characteristics discharging into sea is enclosed

holding / storage provided by the surge tank allows for controlled, reduced flow transfer to

the equalization tank

EIA Report


b) Anaerobic Treatment System

The equalized effluent is pumped to a conditioning tank. Chemicals are added into the

conditioning tank (mostly neutralized chemicals and nutrients etc.). From the conditioning

tankthe neutralized effluent is then fed to the proposed Anaerobic Reactor, UASB (Upflow

Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Digester) by use of reactor feed pumps. Target COD reduction in

anaerobic reactor is >80% (After complete stabilization). The anaerobically treated

wastewaterwith reduced COD load from the reactor top is allowed to flow by gravity to the

aerobic wastewater treatment system. Methane rich biogas collected in reactor top is

conveyed to BiogasHandling System. Condensate traps to be provided at the inlet line of

Biogas Handling Systemto remove condensate from biogas. From the biogas zone of the

anaerobic reactor, the biogasis drawn through biogas compressors/ liquid ring pump

pressurized and then sent to flaresystem for flaring.

c) Aerobic Treatment Section

After treatment in anaerobic section, the process waste water will be routed to effluent

treatment & disposal facilities for final treatment. Treated wastewater from anaerobic section

iscombined with boiler; cooling tower and demineralized water blow down streams and are

routed to effluent treatment & disposal facilities for final treatment. Along with process water

effluent streams, the other liquid effluents stream like contaminated rain water streams shall

also be separately routed to effluent treatment and disposal facilities for final treatment. The

effluents pass through aeration tank and clarifier before moving to water filtration section.

Aerobic section shall be designed to handle Cooling Tower blowdown and sider stream filter

waste water.

d) Tertiary Treatment:

Water filtration section is located in downstream the Aerobic Treatment Units. The aerobic

effluent coming from aeration & clarification systems contains a significant amount of

suspended solids that need to be removed by means of a tertiary treatment. Tertiary treatment

section includes:

Filtration system through pressure sand filter

Activated carbon Filters

Ultra filtration and RO based system

EIA Report


e) Sludge Handling & Dewatering System

Dewatering system for sludge generated from plant will be done by using belt presswhich

will be a common facility for all streams. Hopper and sludge loading facilities will also be

provided. The sludge will be dewatered from inlet consistency of 3-4% solids to ~22% solids

in the belt press. The filtrate from belt press will be recycled back to aeration tank. Solid

collection with necessary trolley, handling and disposal from the RO unit will be done

suitably.

Climatic conditions, seismic zone characteristics and natural hazard

3.5.1 PIA District Profile

Jagatsinghapur District is one of the coastal district of Odisha. It lies between 19°58’ and

20°23’N latitude and 86°30’ and 86°45’E longitude. The district is surrounded by the Bay of

Bengal in the East, Kendrapada District in the North, Cuttack District in the West and Puri

District in the South. It occupies an area of 1668 sq.kms which accounts for 1.07% of the

total area of the state.

This district is situated in the delta region of the river Mahanadi. The district comprises two

district tracts. The first being marshy and swampy stripes along with the coast covered with

wild growth of reeds and tropical jungle. The second tract covers fertile plain land. Since

1870, two big canals were built which supply water to this area. Also in the year 1960, a

natural sea port i.e., Paradip port was built on the Bay of Bengal.

ATSINGHAPUR.pdf

3.5.2 Climatic Conditions

The south-west monsoon is the principal source of rainfall in the district. The district is

characterized by a Topical monsoon climate having three distinct seasons in a year viz.

winter, summer and rainy seasons. The Bay of Bengal, which forms the eastern boundary of

the district, plays a vital role in controlling the climate of the district. The Normal rainfall of

the district is 1501.3 mm. The annual average rainfall in last seven years is 1436 mm. About

75% of the total rainfall occurs during the period from June to September. In the period

between April and May 3 to 4 cyclonic rains generally occur in the district that causes a drop

in the temperature. The temperature varies from 15 to 37ºC. The relative humidity varies

from 74 to 86 percent during the year.

3.5.3 Natural Resources of PIA District

3.5.3.1 Flora & Fauna

The forest area is only 8% of total geographical area. There is no natural forest worth

its name in this district. Hental (phoenix paludosa) grows here abundantly in clusters, which

is scattered and confined to the sea-coast. The mangrove forests are locally called ‘Hental

Van’ or Hental forests. Rich vegetation accounts for widespread of wildlife. Among the

animal’s crocodiles are common. Also varieties of birds are seen along the coastal areas.

3.5.3.2 Forest Resources

The little forests found in Jagatsinghapur District are of moist mixed deciduous Forests,

North tropical deciduous forest. Forest Type prevalent in this district is the Sal dominated

mixed deciduous forest. The forest cover area of the district is 133 Sq.Km., out of

geographical area of 1668 sq.km which is a moderately dense forest, and 127 sq.km is open

forest. The district is having 132.92 km of DLC forest area. However, on introduction of

Forest Rights Act, 2006, 47 titles have been distributed to the forest dwellers involving about

31.83 acres of forest land. The Dhartang Garh PRF comprising an area of 112.92 ha. of forest

stands for scenic beauty and an excellent habitat for wildlife. Its radius is 07 Km. This forest

is surrounded by Gopalpur G.P of Jagatsinghapur district. This forest consists of variety of

flora and fauna and some rare species of medicinal plants such as Satabari, bishalyakarani,

Patalgaruda, kochila, Karanja, Ashok, Amla, Bela and tree species like Teak, Bamboo,

Mahagani, Deodaru, Panasa etc. and wildlife like deer, monkey, jungle mouse, fox, hyna and

different types of birds such as, koel, chilla, jhinka, pecha, Rajamani, Haladibasanta,

Kumbhatua, Badudi etc. Visitor immunity and recreational facilities have been developed for

casual visitors to the forest and for wild life lovers. Local villagers have been motivated to

help forest people immensely in tracking down the poachers to control the wildlife crime and

ensure forest protection. Hence a VSS has been formed comprising local inhabitants from

Goplapur village and Pandra village. The Kilipal PRF comprises an area of 161.98 ha of

forest. Its radius is 11.60km. This forest is protected by Paruna VSS. They keep a constant

watch on the forest arranging roster duty, as a result of which, forest density is showing an

upward trend.

3.5.3.3 Irrigation

Water is an important factor than soil. An ample and well distributed rainfall is a matter of

vital importance to cultivators. In most of the years the amount of rainfall is sufficient, the

average being 58 inch per annum. But it is unevenly distributed causing deficiency in critical

months to crops. That is why artificial irrigation becomes absolutely necessary. Now-a-days

the country has started implementing bold economic reforms in the agriculture sector. The

Odisha Lift irrigation Corporation (OLIC) hydrologist assesses the water potential in the

district. The Odisha Agro Industries Corporation (OAIC) also undertakes the work of digging

bore well by private enterprises. Under watershed development project for rain fed,

agriculture, mini watersheds are identified. Under this scheme, cultivators are motivated to

switch over to the cropping pattern by providing inputs under crop demonstration

programme. The Source wise Irrigation potential created during the year 2009-10 & 2010-11

is given in Table 3-2

3.5.3.4 Agricultural Resources

Agriculture starts just before monsoon. The cultivators plough their fields in the month of

May and sowing of grain starts from Akshaya Trutiya i.e., last part of May. There are two

seasonal crops namely Kharif and Rabi. Growing and harvesting in rainy, autumn and winter

season is known as Kharif crop whereas the said operation after winter and in summer is

known as Rabi crop throughout all the districts of Odisha. Paddy is the main crop. In addition

to this coconut, mango, banana, pineapple etc. and another cash crop pan (betel leaf) are also

cultivated in this district. Among other cereals wheat, maize etc. pulses like mung, oilseeds

like groundnut, tin, sunflower etc. and sugarcane are also produced in the district. During the

year 2010-11, out of 111 thousand hectares’ cultivable land, Kharif and Rabi paddy covered

88 thousand hectares, which were 47.37% of gross cropped area of 179.60 thousand hectares.

The paddy production was 138.96 thousand MT. The Net area sown and Gross cropped area

during 2010-11 were 91 and 186 thousand hectares respectively and the cropping intensity

was 204%.

3.5.6 Geomorphology of PIA district

Physiographically the district can broadly have divided into two distinct units, viz. i. The

saline marshy tract along the coast ii. The very gently sloping plain

(i). The saline marshy tract forms a long and narrow strip along the coast. The width of this

tract varies from 3 to 15 km and is intersected by tidal streams and shrubby vegetation. Sand

dunes of varied relief extend continuously for kilometres parallel to the coast. These sand

dunes usually forming 5 to 6 chains are gently sloping on the bay side and steeply sloping on

the inland side, due to their Aeolian origin. The gently sloping alluvial plain occurs to the

west of the saline marshy tract and forms the most fertile part of the district.

(ii). The general slope of this tract is towards east and southeast and varies from 0.50 to 1.60

m/km. The distribution of different soil types in the district depends much on its

physiographic and lithologic variations. The Geomorphology Map of the Jagatsinghapur

District is shown as Figure 3-12.

3.5.7 Geomorphology of the Study Area

Geomorphologically the study area within 10km radius of the site consisting three major

units such as Coastal Plains, Flood Plains and Estuarine zone. Based on the nature and age of

deposition the first two units viz., Coastal Plains & Flood Plains are divided into three and

two sub-units respectively. The coastal plains are classified as Younger coastal plains, older

coastal plains and Younger deltaic plains. The flood plains, which are developed due to the

impact of Mahanadi and its tributaries on the pre-existing landforms, are classified as

Younger flood plain, which is currently in active development stage and an older flood plain.

There is a zone of estuarine plains, where the Mahanadi river merges with sea, existing in the

northeastern part of the study area, which is typically, express the intermixing nature of beach

sands with river sands

The total Geographical area of the study area is 490.48 Sq.Km. The Geomorphology of the

study area is given in Table 3-5 and Geomorphology pattern and Geomorphology Map of the

Recent Alluvium 0.57mbgl to 5.05mbgl 0.35mbgl to 4.82mbgl,

pre-monsoon shows rise of 0-2m in 37.5% of wells, and fall of 0-2m in 56.3% and 2-

4m in 6.3%of the wells.

post-monsoon shows rise of 0-2m in 57.1% of wells, fall of 0-2m in 42.9 % of the

wells.

The State is underlain by diverse rock types ranging in age from Archaean to Recent. The

State can be hydro geologically sub divided into consolidated, semi-consolidated &

unconsolidated formations. The consolidated formations include hard crystallines and

compact sedimentary rocks whereas semi consolidated formations include weathered and

friable Gondwana sedimentaries and loosely cemented Baripada beds. The unconsolidated

formations include laterites and recent alluvium. The yield of tubewells tapping granite

gneisse ranges between 10-35 m3/hr whereas other consolidated formations, it ranges

between 5-18 m3/hr. The yield of tubewells in semi-consolidated formations range between

20-115 m3/hr.The hydrogeology map of Jagatsinghapur District is given in Figure 3-14

Source:http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Orissa/jagasingpur.pdf

Geo-hydrological Status of the Study Area

The study area including the project site is part of coastal and fluvial alluvium developed due

to the deltaic nature of Mahanadi River with Bay of Bengal. The area is covered with thick

pile of younger and older alluvial formations to an extent of more than 100m bgl. Below the

alluvium there are sandstone formations with intercalation of clay beds are reported which

are part of ParadeepTechtonic Depression of Mahanadi Basin. These sedimentary formations

are extended more than 900m thickness which are successively underlined with basement

crystalline rocks.

Groundwater occurs in semi-confined to unconfined nature in the alluvial formations within

the study area. There are potential shallow fresh water aquifers existing within the study area

at 10 to 20m depth from the existing ground levels. Based on the observations made in the

existing bore wells it is understood that the groundwater level is between 3 to 4 mbgl.

Below the fresh water aquifers there are saline water aquifers which are present at 40 to 50m

bgl within the alluvial formations. The deeper aquifer system is also present within the

Paradeep Depression in deep seated sedimentary formations

3.5.9 Drainage Pattern in PIA district

The main rivers flowing in the district are Mahanadi, Saunlia, Alaka and Devi. The branches

of Devi river are Biluakhai, Gobari river where as the branches of Mahanadi are Paika,

Chirotpala and Hansua river. All the rivers and its branches fall into the Bay of Bengal. 1 The

problem of drainage becomes acute towards the lower reaches of the deltas. The coastal

ridges offer an effective barrier to a free discharge of the flood water. Sometimes the huge

sand deposits create marshy conditions and affect the production of crops. Due to its

geographical situation, the district is congenial and prone to occurrence of various natural

calamities like flood, cyclone and drought. To prevent the calamities, many river dam

projects, canal construction works and irrigation works were made in and nearby district.

Two main canals i.e. Taladanda and Machhagaon provide water for irrigation in the district.

3.5.12 Soils in PIA District

Based on the physical and chemical characteristics, mode of origin and occurrence, soils of

the district may be classified into three groups namely Alfisols, Aridisols and Entisols.

i.Alfisols: This includes deltaic alluvial soils and this type of soils occupies nearly 90% of the

entire district area. The deltaic alluvial soils are generally deficient in phosphate (P2O5) and

nitrogen (N). Both the total and available potassium are fairly adequate and PH varies

between 7.38 and 8.16.

ii.Aridisols: These are saline and saline alkali soils and occur in small pockets in the north

eastern and south eastern corner of the district near coast. These are rich in calcium,

magnesium and also consist of half decomposed organic matter.

iii.Entisols: This includes coastal sandy soils and occurs as narrow elongated ridge along the

coast line. The soils are deficient in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and humus, but not in potash

and lime.

Baseline ambient air quality assessment gives the status in the vicinity of site and is an

indispensable part of environmental impact assessment studies. Significant changes, in

EIA Report


predominant winds and weather conditions are observed in winter, summer and post-

monsoon seasons apart from the local topographic influences. The baseline status of air

environment in the study area is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance

programme.

3.6.1 Meteorological Conditions

The regional air quality is influenced by the meteorology of that region. The principal

weather parameters that influence the concentration of the air pollutants in the surroundings

are wind speed, wind direction and temperature. The meteorological data is useful for proper

interpretation of the baseline data. It is used as input for air quality dispersion models for

predicting the post project environmental scenario i.e. ground level concentrations due to

proposed utilities like Boilers &DG sets etc.

3.6.2 Meteorological Data Collection

Available secondary data pertaining to the meteorological parameters was obtained from the

IMD Climatological tables. In addition, baseline meteorological data (primary data) was

generated during the study period (March to May 2019). The methodology adopted for

monitoring surface observations is as per the standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian

Standards (BIS) i.e. IS:8829 and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).

3.6.3 General Meteorological Scenario based on IMD Data

The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) station located to project site is Paradip

port. The Climatological data of Paradip port (20 18’ N and 86o 41’ E), published by the

IMD, based on daily observations at 08:30 and 17:30 hour IST for a 30 year period (1971-

3.7.4 Observations

The ambient air quality has been monitored at 8 locations for 14 parameters as per

NAAQS/CPCB guidelines within the study area. The average baseline levels of PM10 (55.35

– 80.53µg/m³), PM2.5 (27.72 – 38.16µg/m³), SO2(8.63 – 13.21µg/m³), NO2(16.15 –

25.30µg/m³), the nearest CPCB AAQ monitoring station is PPL Guest House in which the

annual average for the year 2018: PM10 (113 µg/m³), PM2.5 (37 µg/m³), SO2(19 µg/m³),

NO2(11 µg/m³).

All the parameters are well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Industrial,

Commercial and Residential areas at all monitoring locations during the study period from

March 2019 - May 2019.

3.8 Noise Environment

The prevailing ambient noise level at a particular location is nothing but the resultant (total)

of all kinds of noise sources existing at various distances around that location. The ambient

noise level at a location varies continuously depending on the type of surrounding activities.

Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at Eight(08) locations

in and around 10Km distance from project area during the study period using precision noise

level meter. The noise monitoring locations in the study area were selected after giving due

consideration to the various land use categories. The land use categories include commercial,

residential, rural and sensitive areas. Noise levels were recorded on an hourly basis for one

complete day at each location using pre- calibrated noise levels. A map noise showing the

noise monitoring locations is given in Figure 3-24.


Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the day equivalent

(Ld) and night equivalent (Ln) were calculated;

Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.

Ln: Average noise levels between 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.

The comparison of day equivalent noise levels (Ld) and night equivalent noise levels (Ln)

with the respective CPCB stipulated noise standards for various land use categories are

shown in the Table 3-11.

3.8.2 Observations

The observations of day equivalent and night equivalent noise levels at all locations are given below

In Industrial areas (Project site) day time noise levels was about 53.8 dB(A) and 47.1 dB(A) during night time, which is within prescribed

limit given by CPCB (75 dB(A) Day time & 70 dB(A) Night time).

In Commercial areas (Paradwip (Coast Guard)) day time noise levels was about 64.8 dB(A) and night time noise levels was about 54.2

dB(A), which is within the prescribed limit given by CPCB (65 dB(A) Day time & 55 dB(A) Night time).

In residential area (Paradwipgarh, Dochhaki, Musharhia, Dhinkia, Sunadiakandha and Gandakipur) day time noise levels varied from

50.9 dB(A) to 58.6 dB(A) and night time noise levels varied from 42.6 dB(A) to 47.5 dB(A) across the sampling stations. The field

observations during the study period indicate that the ambient noise levels in some residential area is exceeding the prescribed limit given

by CPCB (55 dB(A) Day time & 45 dB(A) Night time).

3.9 Water Environment

3.9.1 Surface Water Resources

The main rivers flowing in the district are Mahanadi, Saunlia, Alaka and Devi. The branches

of Devi River are Biluakhai, Gobari River where as the branches of Mahanadi are Paika,

Chirotpala and Hansua River. All the rivers and its branches fall into the Bay of Bengal. The

problem of drainage becomes acute towards the lower reaches of the deltas. The coastal

ridges offer an effective barrier to a free discharge of the flood water. Sometimes the huge

sand deposits create marshy conditions and affect the production of crops. Due to its

geographical situation, the district is congenial and prone to occurrence of various natural

calamities like flood, cyclone and drought. To prevent the calamities, many river dam

projects, canal construction works and irrigation works were made in and nearby district.

Two main canals i.e. Taladanda and Machhagaon provide water for irrigation in the district.

3.9.1.2 Results and Discussions

Surface water sample results as presented in Table 3-14 are discussed below:

Surface water sampling results except marine sample are compared with Surface

water standards IS 2296:1992.

pH in the collected surface water samples varies between 6.76 to 7.84 which is within

the limit of IS 2296:1992, where pH value of marine sample ranges from 7.94 to 7.98.

The Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value of collected surface water sample ranges

from 2640 mg/l to 19128 mg/l. TDS value of marine sample ranges from 32040 mg/l

to 34677 mg/l.

The Total hardness value of the collected surface water sample ranges between 320.2

mg/l – 3875.6 mg/l. Total hardness value of marine sample ranges between 5602.4

mg/l – 6401.6 mg/l.

BOD values of the collected surface water samples are ranges between 1 mg/l and

19mg/l. BOD value of the marine sample ranges between 3 mg/l to 5 mg/l.

COD value of the collected surface water varies from 4 to 154 mg/l. COD value of the

marine sample ranges between 18 mg/l to 36 mg/l.

The concentration of heavy metals like As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Mn, Hg, Ni and Se are within

the limits of IS 2296:1992.

3.9.2 Ground Water Resources

The ground water resources of the district have been assessed adopting the methodology

recommended by the ground water Estimation Committee (1997), constituted by Govt. of

India. The task was jointly carried out by the central Ground Water Board and Ground Water

Survey and Investigation, Department of Water Resources, Govt. of Orissa. The block wise

computation of ground water resources in the district has been meager and all the blocks fall

under the safe category. The stage of ground water development varies from 31.53% to

67.26% in different blocks. The overall stage of ground water development of the district is

47.37%. The ground water resources of Jagatsinghapur district are as given in Table 3-15.

3.9.2.1 Ground Water Quality

Total Eight (08) ground water monitoring locations were identified for assessment in

different villages around the project site based on the usage of sub surface water by the

settlements/ villages in the study area. The groundwater results are compared with the

acceptable and permissible water quality standards as per IS: 10500 (2012) for drinking

water. Groundwater quality monitoring locations and results are given in Table 3-16 and

and 8.21. It is observed that the pH range is within the limit of IS 10500:2012.

The Total Dissolved Solids range is varied between 406mg/l –868 mg/l for the ground

water, whereall the samples are well within the permissible limit of IS 10500: 2012.

The acceptable limit of the chloride content is 250mg/l and permissible limit is 1000

mg/l. The chloride content in the collected ground water samplesof the study area ranges

between 94.03 mg/l – 251.21 mg/l. It is observed that all the samples are well within the

permissible limit of IS 10500:2012.

The acceptable limit of the sulphate content is 200mg/l and permissible limit is 400mg/l.

the sulphate content of the collected ground water samples of the study area is varied

between 32.03mg/l – 108.31 mg/l.It is observed that all the samples are meeting the

acceptable limit of the IS 10500: 2012.

The Total hardness ranges is between 143 mg/l – 301mg/l for ground water samples. It is

observed that all the samples are well within the permissible limit of the IS 10500: 2012.

3.10 Soil as a resource and its quality

As the entire district is situated at Mahanadi Deltaic region, mostly the soil is alluvial.

Besides, brown soils (hydromorphic) and recently formed hydromorphic soils are also found

in this district. Technically the suborder associations of the soil may be classified as Aquepts-

Aquents, Fluvents-Aqueots-Aqualfs and Ochrepts-Orthents. Soil analysis was carried as per

IS: 2720 methods. Soil quality monitoring locations & results are given in Table 3-18

&Table 3-19. Map showing the soil monitoring locations is given in Figure 3-27.

3.11 Biological Environment

An ecological study of the ecosystem is essential to understand the impact of industrialization

and urbanization on existing flora and fauna of the study area. Studies on various aspects of

ecosystem play an important role in identifying sensitive issues for under taking appropriate

action to mitigate the impact, if any. The biological study was under taken as a part of the

EIA study report to understand the present status of ecosystem prevailing in the study area, to

compare it with past condition with the help of available data, to predict changes in the

biological environment as a result of present activities and to suggest measures for

maintaining its health. Secondary information was collected to list the flora & fauna in 10 km

radius.

During secondary survey, following aspects were considered for ecological studies:

Assessment of present status of flora and fauna;

Identification of rare and endangered species of plants and animals (if any);

Identification of ecologically sensitive areas within the study area;

Assessment of migratory route of wildlife (if any); and

Assessment of Aquatic Ecology with specific reference to aquatic birds.

Project site is situated near Dhenkia. In this region comprises of deciduous type forests, along

the Mahanadhi river, numerous wetland and human population area. There is Mangrove

forest situated towards North east of the project site but from 8.5 km from the plant area. The

project area is considered as core area, whereas, 10 km radial distance for the project site is

being considered as buffer area

3.11.3 Management in and around Project area

Environmental problems in the state of Odisha have been influenced partly by the increasing

population, survival needs of the poor and the economic greed of the commercial interests.

They are also aggravated by prevalent economic disparities and unemployment, which are

deeply embedded in unsustainable patterns of production and consumption; ill-informed

policies and programs; and inappropriate developing strategies. As far as the forest resources

of the Near Brahmaputra valley is concerned, gap in scientific knowledge, increasing

demands, lack of value addition are the main causes for which the vast potential is yet to be

tapped properly and in some cases over exploited. Gap in scientific knowledge on various

forest resources and products is a major problem for management of resources in the state.

Although considerable amounts of revenue have been collected from forest products where

local people are also directly or indirectly involved in gathering and in some cases marketing

as well, but they have hardly any knowledge on the silvicultural management of various

minor forest products. Except for some well-known commercial species, the information on

distribution of various forest products, their density, regeneration status, yield estimate and

harvesting levels are lacking. There is need to formulate sound management plan that

addresses the knowledge about the life cycle pattern of the species, productivity and yield

estimation techniques.

Monitoring and maintaining of the complex ecosystem is important aspect of bioresource

management. Technical aspects include choice between different methods and techniques and

development of appropriate harvesting and processing technologies. There is also social

aspect of resource management that deal with people, cultures, belief systems, attitudes and

behaviour, ethics, aspirations and social values. As far as the state of Odisha is concerned, all

these aspects should be taken into consideration prior to the formulation of management

strategies. Finally, exercise of administrative power in another important aspect to hold

control over users of resources and decision-making.

For reclamation of degraded forest lands and riparian sites, plantation and ecorestoration

programme may be initiated with prioritize species in relation to ecoregion/ agro-climatic

zones. In riparian sites plantation of bamboo and various species of grass can be initiated to

check erosion. Eco-sensitive zones in the valley should be demarcated and regulations may

be imposed on developmental projects like mega dams, industrial activities, 34 quarrying and

mining in such areas are other important measures of conservation may be initiated.

Updation of the database on floristic diversity in terms of species, ecosystems & genetic traits

with reference to status, pressures and also in regard to changing climate are other issues of

resource management.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

MEASURES

EIA Report


4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION

MEASURES4.1 Introduction

One of the important components in the process of environmental impact assessment is

identification of significant impacts as it leads to other elements such as quantification and

evaluation of impacts. Any change in environment whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or

partially, resulting from impacting activity is called Environmental Impact. Each individual

activity with respect to each environmental parameter will have its own impact potential.

Proposed project activities will be carried out in such a way so that potential adverse/negative

impacts are avoided, wherever possible. While for remaining impacts which are inevitable,

practicable mitigation measures will be recommended to minimize the adverse impacts.

The prediction of impacts helps to develop and implement mitigation measures/environment

management plan in such a way that the developmental activity will minimize the

deterioration of environmental quality.

4.2 Proposed Project Activities

The proposed project will have impacts on environment during the tenure of two phases; i.e.

construction phase and operation phase.

4.3 Construction Phase

Construction phase of the proposed project is temporary and will mainly involve the

following generic construction activities

Excavation

Formwork & concreting

Material handling and Transportation

Use of Tools and Potable power tools

Scaffolding

Crane Usage

Mechanical Equipment’s

Working in confined space

EIA Report


4.3.1 Impacts during Construction Phase

As the main impacts of the construction phase are envisaged in terms of air pollution only,

this natural mitigation would be significantly helpful in elimination of predicted impacts of

the phase. The overall impact of the pollution on the environment during construction phase

is localised in nature, reversible and is for a short period . However, the following principal

major impacts to the environment are considered for further planning of mitigation measures:

The use of automobiles and machinery during construction can deteriorate the air

quality and generate temporary emission.

The use of automobiles and machinery generates noise pollution from construction

activities.

The irregular working hours, & traffic, night-working, flood-lighting and

transportation damage the socioeconomic balance of surrounding region.

Effects may occur due to the accumulation of the contaminant in water resources &

soil due to uptake of construction material.

Short term heavy construction might cause increase in noise level

Effects on work place condition & human health due to the accidents during the

construction works.

Effects on the socio-economic activity due to direct impacts or indirect impacts on

socio-economic activities.

4.3.2 Mitigation Measures for Construction Phase

The entire construction activities will be confined with the designated area inside the

existing premises.

The small amount of unused construction material shall be stored in proper area to

utilise further in construction activities and surplus excavated material shall be

disposed of in suitable pre-identified areas.

Construction material shall be stored at adequate distance from the water storage in

order to prevent any chances of accidental leakage or spillage which could pollute the

water storage

Wherever required impervious lining shall be provided to the storage premises to

avoid accidental mixing or mixing due to fugitive losses.

To reduce the dust generation on site wherever & whenever required water shall be

EIA Report


sprinkled on ground or stock pile of excavated soil.

Equipments / machineries shall be used efficiently and shall be kept shut in order to

reduce air emission, noise pollution and consumption of energy resource

Emission from the equipments/machineries shall be monitored on regular basis and

possible implementation shall be provided on site

Transport vehicles shall be monitored & maintained regularly to control the emission

quality and fuel consumption

Provision of necessary PPEs like face mask & eye-glasses to employees /labours

engaged in construction activities.

The machineries/equipment used on site shall be maintained so they do work with

optimum efficiency generating less noise pollution

Operation of machineries/equipment causing high noise level shall be stopped during

the night time and all such operations shall be planned for day time only.

Transportation activities shall not be conducted during the night (other than in case of

emergency) to avoid high noise level in nearby villages/locality.

4.3.3 Land environment

a) Impacts

The proposed process units under the PX PTA project will be implemented within M/s IOCL,

PDR premises. The proposed project will be done in land area, which is identified as

appropriate location based on environmental and engineering requirements. The activities

carried out during the construction phase will involve a change in the land use from vacant

industrial land to a built up industrial land, which will pose the following impacts on the land

environment.

1. Compaction of soil and a change in the soil structure due to the use of heavy

construction vehicles and machineries.

2. Removal of soil from the site.

3. Mixing of the topsoil and subsoil.

4. Dispersion of dust.

Transportation of construction material (quarry material, cement &steel, paint, bricks etc)

during construction phase of the project results in use of public infrastructure like roads,

railways, drainage, water and power supply which in turn results in extra burden.

EIA Report


During the construction phase of the project there will be short term employment generation

in the form of skilled and semiskilled labours. This could be for a period of maximum 2 to 3

years but the daily wage unskilled labours employed locally. Also majority of the works will

be sub-contracted. There could be several impacts due to the location of construction camp in

the area where in local area will receive people from most part of the country.

b) Mitigation Measures

1. Employing techniques such as restricting access during wet conditions, using

protective boarding and low ground pressure machineries to minimize compaction of

soil.

2. The removed soil will be properly stored for subsequent reinstatement.

3. Reuse of excess excavated material for road development, green belt development and

landscaping.

4. A well designed closed depository for storage of construction materials to prevent

land/soil pollution.

5. Effective stabilization of altered landforms to minimize soil erosion and the potential

for water pollution (e.g. Vegetation).

6. Reuse of construction wastes such as sand, brick, gravel, cement for developing

internal road and project structures.

7. Trucks with construction material susceptible for fugitive suspension will be covered

with tarpaulin covers during transport of construction materials

8. Transportation management will be adopted for movement of vehicles transporting

construction materials and traffic will be regulated.

9. Vehicles deployed will confirm to emission norms (air/noise) of CPCB and have

validPollution Under Control(PUC) certificates

10. Very old vehicles (more than 20 years) will not be allowed at site

11. Trucks will comply with standards for exhaust emissions and noise levels.

12. To avoid/minimise impact/strain on the existing infrastructure, the worker camps will

be self-sufficient and would not rely on any local resource. This would help to avoid

any conflict with the local population. To mitigate impacts from health hazards,

sanitation facilities will be provided

EIA Report


4.3.4 Air environment

In order to predict the impact of constructional and operational activities on the ambient air

quality, the data on emission, micrometeorology and from Indian meteorological department

(IMD)were collected. All these data will be used to predict ground level concentration of

(GLCs) of SO2, NOX and PM10 for different temporal variations.

In the construction phase, activities like site clearance, site leveling, movements of workers

and material, construction of road, transportation activities will generate dust, gaseous

pollutants and particulate matter and affect the air quality. Other impacts include -

1. Site Preparation-fencing, boundary and clearing of site will cause disturbance to the

surroundings.

2. Excavation, backfilling and leveling.

3. Hauling and dumping of earth materials and construction spoils.

4. Foundation works can cause dust generation which will decrease the air quality and it

can impact the labors working.

5. Fabrication, erection of steel structures such as tanks, pipelines and sheds.

6. Construction of internal roads drains and water supply.

7. Cleaning and landscaping.

8. Emission from Construction DG & Construction Equipment’s.

a) Mitigation Measures

1. Barricading the construction area and minimizing exposed areas to reduce dust

generation.

2. Areas generating dust during dry weather will be sprayed with water.

3. Creation of vegetation screens to act as a barrier to dust.

4. Appropriate enclosed areas for storage of construction materials.

5. Facilitating the workers with the required personal protective equipment’s.

6. Efficient usage and maintenance of equipment’s/machineries to lower air emissions,

noise pollution and consumption of energy resource.

7. Exhaust vent of DG set will be provided with adequate stack height to ensure quick

dispersal of gaseous emissions.

8. Periodic monitoring and maintenance of transport vehicles to check on the quality of

emission to be within permissible limits and consumption of fuel.

EIA Report


9. Regular inspection of construction site to ensure timely removal and disposal of

construction debris to the dumping sites or for recycle/reuse.

4.3.5 Water environment

a) Impacts

1. Contamination of watercourses by leakage from fuel and materials storage areas.

2. Oil and suspended solids in run-off from vehicles and access roads.

3. Use of heavy machineries and vehicles causes compaction of topsoil due to which a

change in the surface water drainage pattern may occur.

4. Generation of sewage / process effluent and blow down.

b) Mitigation measures

1. The water demand during the construction phase will be met from the existing

Refinery water source(Mahanadi River)

2. Storehouse will be located at a distance away from the water storage area to prevent

accidental release or spillage.

3. Proper management of rain water run-off during monsoon and creating bunds to

utilize the rain water for construction purpose.

4. An appropriate water management system will be implemented.

4.3.6 Noise environment

a) Impacts

During construction phase, the noise will mostly be produced because of building activities

and machineries used for carrying out construction. Construction activities mainly involve

diesel generators, laying of foundation, erection of superstructure, clearing of obstruction and

trees if any from the proposed area. Activities such as construction of labor camps, onsite

office, pneumatic hammers, compressors, concrete mixers, construction material plants

however, do not cause significant noise pollution. But if the work continuous for longer

duration, it can affect the health of local people and workers involved in the project work.

b) Mitigation Measures

1. Barricading the construction site.

EIA Report


2. The green belt will help in reducing the noise nuisance.

3. Selection of equipment’s of high quality.

4. Proper planning and organizing of construction activities which will help in avoiding loud

verbal exchanges between the intervening parties.

5. Transportation activities will be carried out only during the day and only in case of

emergency, the transportation activities will be permitted in night time.

6. The vehicles used for construction activities and transportation of materials will be

provided with the horn of low noise level as recommended by RTO/ concerned

authorities.

7. Minimization of operation time of noisy equipment and operation of

machineries/equipment that generate high levels of noise only during day time.

8. Inadequate use of plant and equipment, namely, running on full power when the work

does not necessitate it will be avoided.

9. Personal protective equipment’s, education and public awareness and exposure control

through rotation of work will be provided to the workers engaged in construction

activities in the area generating high levels of noise.

4.3.7 Waste generation

The source of waste are metal pieces, cardboards, wooden scrap, sand gravels etc., generation

of chemical waste by general site practices (e.g. vehicle and plant maintenance/servicing),

municipal waste generated by site workers.

a) Mitigation measures

1. Recycling/reusing/recovering materials where possible and thereby neglecting or

reducing the disposal requirements.

2. Separation of construction material for reuses either to be used on onsite filling or can

be used as public fill.

3. Training the staff in waste minimizing practices.

4. Chemical waste should be stored in a locked area so as to avoid leaching of harmful

chemicals in the soil or nearby water bodies (If any).

EIA Report


4.3.8 Ecology

Except for the removal of weeds, the ecological status of the site will be well maintained by

conserving/ developing the greenbelt at the site.

4.3.9 Social environment

A socio-economic study was undertaken with the help of secondary sources in assessing

aspects, which are dealing with social and cultural conditions, and economic status in the

study area. The study provides information such as demographic structure, population

dynamics, infrastructure resources, and the status of human health and economic attributes

like employment, per-capita income, agriculture, trade, and industrial development in the

study area. There will be temporary employment for manpower required during construction

phase available from local communities. Overall, socioeconomic effect of construction phase

will be positive due to direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local population

4.4 Operation Phase

From an Environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to its

potential to invoke long-term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur during this

operational phase of the project are Air pollution (gaseous Emissions), Effluent generation,

Noise Generation, Solid waste Generation etc.

4.4.1 Impacts during Operational Phase

Because of its potential to create long-term impacts, this phase is very important from the

environmental impact point of view. The basic impacts like gaseous emissions, water

consumption/ pollution and solid waste will have the potential to adversely affect air, water

and land / soil in the vicinity of the project site.

This phase will broadly include the following direct and indirect activities / actions:

Storage and transportation of raw materials and finished products.

Gaseous emissions

Effluent Generation, treatment and disposal

Noise Generation

Solid waste generation

All the parameters are well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Industrial,

Commercial and Residential areas at all monitoring locations during the study period from

March 2019 - May 2019. Stack emission of PM, SOx & NOx are due to process units, Flare

and DG. Adequate measures will be taken to control Air Pollution.

4.5.1 Meteorological data

The meteorological data for a month, i.e. from 01/03/2019 to 31/05/2019 was considered for

the study. Data included for AERMET were daily wind speed, wind direction, temperature,

relative humidity, air pressure, precipitation, and solar radiation recorded during the period.

AERMET reformats meteorological data so that it can be used as input for AERMOD model.

The wind rose for the study period is given as Figure 4-1

4.5.2 AERMET Process

For the 3 phase AERMET processing of the meteorological data, specifications of the land

use in the area are required to determine the terrain roughness for modelling. The land use

was characterized for in and around the site. The surface characteristics for the site and

surroundings were selected and used to calculate the Albedo, Bowen ratio and surface

roughness parameters.

EIA Report


4.5.3 AERMOD Process

AERMOD Software Version 8.0.5 was used for air dispersion modelling and is applicable to

a wide range of buoyant or neutrally buoyant emissions up to a range of 50 km. In addition to

more straight forward cases, AERMOD is also suitable for complex terrain and urban

dispersion scenarios.

AERMOD is a steady-state plume model. In the stable boundary layer (SBL), it assumes the

concentration distribution to be Gaussian in both the vertical and horizontal. In the convective

boundary layer (CBL), the horizontal distribution is also assumed to be Gaussian, but the

vertical distribution is described with a bi-Gaussian probability density function (pdf). This

behavior of the concentration distributions in the CBL was demonstrated by Willis and

Deardorff (1981) and Briggs (1993). Additionally, in the CBL, AERMOD treats “plume

lofting,” whereby a portion of plume mass, released from a buoyant source, rises to and

remains near the top of the boundary layer before becoming mixed into the CBL. AERMOD

also tracks any plume mass that penetrates into the elevated stable layer, and then allows it to

re-enter the boundary layer when and if appropriate. For sources in both the CBL and the

SBL AERMOD treats the enhancement of lateral dispersion resulting from plume meander.

The emissions from proposed stacks are estimated and used for the air dispersion modeling as

shown in Table 4-2.

Maximum incremental values for PM, SO2, NOx and CO have been represented as pictorial

concentration contours and as tabular concentration values in following sections

A) Stationary source due to heavy duty machineries at the project site such as compressors,

DG sets, pumps etc.

B) Mobile source corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization, materials,

material transportation, liquid fuel transportation to project site, etc.

Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with the proposed

project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations beyond the site would be

negligible during normal operation phase. However, the impacts on workers engaged in the

plant area would be considerable due to occupational exposure. The proposed fixed major

equipment/units such as compressors, pumps, DG sets etc., also generate vibrations during

operational phase and may cause exposures to the workers/operators engaged at these units.

All equipment’s in the plant produce 40 to 55 dB(A) after control measures and equipment’s

are designed/operated to have a noise level not exceeding 85 to 90 dB(A) as per the

requirement of Occupational Safety and Health Administration Standard (OSHA). In

addition, since most of the noise generating equipment would be in closed structures, the

noise transmitted outside would be still lower and for any other case of higher noise sufficient

safety ear plugs and ear muffs will be provided to the employees.

4.6.2 Mitigation Measure

The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, pumps etc. will be

enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for an insertion loss of 25 dB (A) and

silencers to other equipment etc.

Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring

cumulative noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).

The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly time

weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) standard limits.

Acoustic design with sound proof glass paneling will be provided for critical operator

cabins / control rooms of individual modules as well as central control facilities.

Use of personal protective equipment’s/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs etc. will

be strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.

EIA Report


Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental works will be

carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts will be lubricated to

minimize noise emissions.

Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub

plantation; landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle parking areas

and along approach roads.

Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational phase

of the project.

Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet international

standards and foundations will be so designed to minimize vibrations and secured

properly.

Vibration generating sources and their platforms should be maintained properly to

minimize vibrations and related impacts.

Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies like

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS),

which is being practiced would be continued to mitigate the workers’ health effects

due to vibrations.

Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.

Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of

construction materials will be planned in line with the same.

4.7 Water Environment

No water will be extracted from ground water sources. The total raw water requirement for

existing facility is 3497 m3/hr and for proposed operation phase total requirement will be

1299.5 m3/hr. On total after expansion 4796.5 m3/hr of raw water of which the fresh water of

3743 m3/hr will be taken from existing water source (Mahanadi River). New ETP is proposed

for installation to process effluent @ 408 m3/hr with 10% design Margin (Maximum capacity

with high TOC).

The source of water will be from Existing Refinery water source i.e., Mahanadi River. Hence

there will be no separate permission is required for the proposed projects

EIA Report


4.7.1 Mitigation Measures

Various mitigation measures are proposed to be adopted to minimize the impact if any on the

water environment due to the wastewater/runoff generation during the operation phase of the

project.

Institutional arrangement for monitoring of water pollution.

Corrective and preventive measures if any contamination happens.

Monitoring should ensure early determination of any threats to water resources in

terms of contamination.

If contaminated, proper expertise will be brought to schematize the various recharge

mechanism to reduce or nullify the impact effects.

4.7.2 Waste Water Quality, Quantity and Treatment Method

a) Existing

Approx. 1082.1 m3/hr of effluent is generated in the existing facility of which 190.88 m3/hr

rejects from RO is disposed to Deep Sea, 50 m3/hr rejects from RO is sent to Coke Dust

Suspension and 50 m3/hr rejects from RO is sent to Coke Cutting. The Sludge created during

the treatment of about 32.46 m3/hr along with a water loss of about 10.76 m3/hr. Remaining

748m3/hr from RO is reused back in the system for DM Water Makeup.

b) Proposed

In the proposed expansion Approx. 408 m3/hr of effluent is generated in the proposed facility

of which 78% of effluent is processed in RO plant and its rejects of 86.18 m3/hr is disposed

into deep sea. The Sludge created during the treatment of about 12.24 m3/hr along with a

water loss of about 4.08 m3/hr. The remaining RO processed water of 305.5 m3/hr is reused

back in the system for DM Water Makeup and cooling tower. New ETP is proposed for

installation to process effluent @ 408 m3/hr with 10% design Margin (Maximum capacity

with high TOC)

The existing and proposed effluent disposal into deep sea is 190.88 m3/hr and 86.18 m3/hr

respectively. On total, 277.06m3/hr will be discharge into deep sea and it is observed to be

within the discharge approval limit of 350 m3/hr as per the OPCB consent for Air and water

obtained vide:5543/IND-I-CON-6414 dated 31.03.2021 valid till 31.03.2022 copy enclosed

as Annexure 3. The industrial effluent is discharged into deep sea through the pipeline where

its outlet of pipe is at a distance of 3km from the Low Tide Line (LTL).

EIA Report


4.8 Land Environment

During operational phase the impact shall be due to disposal of solid and hazardous waste

generated during operation of the plant. Spent Catalyst after every 4-5 years will be duly

recovered by PCB approved agencies

4.8.1 Potential Impact Due to Location

The proposed expansion is within the IOCL existing facility, there will be no additional land

acquisition and resettlement or Rehabilitation required. Therefore, there will not be any direct

impacts.

4.8.2 Impacts Due to Changes in Land Use Pattern

One of the factor that is usually considered as a major impact from any project is the land use

change. But since the proposed expansion will be established within the existing IOCL site,

no land use change is foreseen, as the current land use is that of industrial.

4.8.3 Mittigation Measures

The following mitigation measures may be explored:

Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines

Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken parts

of the conveyance pipeline in case of any leakage is detected.

Necessary preventive measures for spillage from pipelines, such as surface RCC

channels along the pipelines shall be adopted.

Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using internal

use.

4.9 Marine Environment

The impact in the context of biota and fishery resources in the area is not considered to be

significant as the construction in the creek is for minimal period. The impact of closed

conveyor passing through the creek would have least impact on the aquatic ecological status

as there will be no spillage in this area.

The project proponent shall adopt preventive practices like leak monitoring of existing

effluent discharge pipelines in the sea, surveillance to prevent any liquid hydrocarbon falling

on the water body of the creek from the hydrocarbon pipelines passing over the bridge of

Santa Creek. The project proponent shall have mitigation plan with Oil spill contaminant

boom under the new pipe bridge to take care of any inadvertent oil spills and suitable

skimmers for recovering of any accidental oil spill over the creek water.

The existing and proposed effluent disposal into deep sea is 190.88 m3/hr and 86.18 m3/hr

respectively. On total, 277.06m3/hr will be discharge into deep sea that it is observed to be

within the marine discharge approval limit of 350 m3/hr as per the OPCB consent for Air and

water obtained vide: 3946/IND-I-CON-6414 dated 27.03.2020 valid till 31.03.2021 copy

enclosed as Annexure 3. The industrial effluent is discharged into deep sea through the

pipeline where its outlet of pipe is at a distance of 3km from the Low Tide Line(LTL).

4.10 Solid Waste Management

4.10.1 Impact Due to Solid Waste Generation

During operation phase, various types of solid waste are likely to be generated which can be

broadly categorized as Hazardous Waste and Non-hazardous Waste. Further, the generated

solid waste generation may include Biodegradable, Recyclable and Inert compounds. The

details of solid waste generation and its management proposed are discussed in Chapter 2,

Section 2.18.

4.10.2 Mitigation Measures

The hazardous waste generated can be processed by bioremediation techniques or with proper

disposal to the authorities. The biodegradable waste generated can be composted and used as

manure. The other waste can be disposed in municipal bins.

Water quality and water resources

Solid waste

Land environment

10.5.1 Air Quality

There will be major construction activities for the project, civil work like foundation for new

vessels and supporting infrastructure for the new machineries will be carried out. During

construction activities, dust emission and emissions from the movement of vehicles and

construction activity is expected. However, following measures will be taken to reduce /

contain such emissions.

EIA Report


Water will be sprinkled on inner roads to prevent re-suspension of dust into ambient

air due to movement of heavy vehicles etc.

Roads shall be kept free from mud, debris and other obstacles.

Separate civil construction material storage yard will be created within the site and it

will be enclosed.

Cement bags will be separately stored under cover in bales. Sand will be stacked

under tarpaulin cover.

Transport vehicles and construction equipment’s/ machineries will be properly

maintained to reduce air emissions.

All construction workers will be provided appropriate PPEs like dust mask, ear plug,

helmet, safety belt etc. and it will be mandatory for them to wear while entering the

& existing ETP will be used for treatment of sewage generated.

The water resource will be provided from the existing facility.

10.5.4Solid Waste

Main solid waste generation during construction phase will be construction debris like

rubble, brick bats, debris, steel scrap, wooden scrap, sand, gravel etc. However, these

materials are inert in nature and will not result into leaching of any substance or its

constituent.

EIA Report


These materials will be carefully sorted and will be used within premises for filling of

low lying areas.

Wooden scrap, steel scrap will be given to authorized scrap dealers.

On completion of civil work, all debris etc. will be completely removed from site to

avoid any incompatibility with future use.

All the wastes will be stored at a designated site within the premises to prevent

scattered discharge on land.

10.5.5Land Environment

Top soil layers shall be stored for reclamation and re-vegetation and reforestation at

approved locations.

Existing storm water drainage facility will be used for disposal of storm water.

10.5.6Ecology

10.6.1Air Pollution Management

The air emission is controlled in PX-PTA complex by installing Online continuous emission

monitoring systems, use of clean burning fuel gas and natural gas, increased stacks heights,

installation of low NOx burners and floating roof in storage tanks for reduction of fugitive

emissions & hydrocarbon losses and to attain zero leakage status. For the proposed project,

IOCL Paradip allocates capital cost of INR 24.1 crores budget towards expenditure on stack

and APC equipments, along with the recurring cost of INR 2.57 crores for the same. Ambient

Air Quality is monitored both manually and continuous monitoring at AAQM stations in line

with the CPCB/MoEF&CC guideline

The gaseous emissions from the PX-PTA complex will be controlled to meet all the relevant

standards stipulated by the regulatory authorities. The Standards for Emissions from

Furnaces, heaters and Boilers is given in Table 10-3.

The flare losses will be minimized and monitored regularly.

PX-PTA Complex will install continuous emission monitoring systems for SOx NOx

CO and PM in major stacks with proper calibration facilities.

Paradip Refinery has adopted various measures for control of gaseous emissions. These

include:

Use of clean burning fuel gas and natural gas in PX-PTA unit.

Installation of low NOx burners in all the furnaces and boilers

Tall stacks for better dispersion of flue gases.

Online monitoring of SOx, NOx, CO and PM emissions from furnaces/boilers.

EIA Report


Monitoring of fugitive emissions from IOCL, PDR complex with the help of VOC (Volatile

Organic Carbon), LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair) program is being done monthly with

the help of an external agency. Thus observed leaks are identified and rectified. And the

same will be continued after the proposed expansion.

10.6.1.1 Gaseous Waste Emissions

The atmospheric pollution generated from the ISBL Process Plant mainly comes from the

Process Inerts Vent (G1), PTA Day Silo A exhaust (G2), PTA Day Silo B exhaust (G3),

Offspec PTA silo exhaust (G4), and ISBL PSV Vent Scrubber Stack (G5). There are two

main exhaust treatments used in the PTA plant: catalytic oxidation and bag filtration. G1:

Process Inerts Vent The off-gas to the process vent stack comes from the oxidation reactor,

which contains various volatile organics such as benzene, methylbenzene, methanol, methyl

acetate, methyl bromide, and other volatile organic substances. After the dimethylbenzene

and acetic acid are recovered, most of the organic substances and methyl bromide contained

by the waste gas will be oxidized and decomposed via the high pressure catalytic oxidation

(CATOX) reactor. Low pressure vents requiring treatment, which include vent streams from

the Low Pressure Absorber, the PTA Vent Knock Out Drum, and the PTA Dryer Scrubber

vent, are treated in the Low Pressure catalytic oxidation system. The off-gas from the

CATOX reactor and the Low Pressure catalytic oxidation system is scrubbed for bromine

removal in the Process Vent Scrubber and combined in the Process Inerts Vent with the vent

of the Reverse Osmosis Purge Drum, and the vent of the liquid catalyst tank.

G2/G3/G4: Exhaust Gas from PTA Day Silo A, PTA Day Silo B, and PTA Off-Spec Silo

Off-gas after catalytic oxidation and bromine scrubbing is used for the conveying of PTA

product into the PTA day silos, and the off-spec silo. Because treated off gas is used for

conveying, it does not contain any volatile organic substances. The vent of the silos is treated

by a pulse bag-type dust removal system prior to discharging to the atmosphere, as it contains

a small quantity of PTA powder.

G5: ISBL PSV Vent Scrubber Stack

Many oxidation section relief valves are sent to the Ox unit PSV scrubber to reduce acetic

acid concentration of the streams that are sent to the scrubber during a release event. The vent

from the Ox Unit PSV Scrubber contains nitrogen sweep gas at a normal flow rate of 55

Nm3/h. The normal vent is pure Nitrogen, which contains no organic compounds. The

Gaseous Waste Emissions from PX and PTA Plant is given in Table 10-4 and Table 10-4

respectively.

10.6.3Solid Waste Management

Mainly four types of solid wastes are generated in the Refinery and its townships; namely

oily sludge, biological sludge (from the biological treatment of the wastewater), other

industrial solid wastes (intermittent) and the domestic solid wastes. The oily-sludge and spent

catalyst of PX are the hazardous wastes generated in refinery operations.

Oily sludge is generated mainly during cleaning of storage tanks and from ETP. Mechanical

extraction method uses solvent & steam heating and then oily sludge is processed in a plant

equipped with centrifuge in order to recover maximum possible oil and water. The sludge is

broken down into water, oil and base sediments. Water is drained into ETP for further

treatment while the recovered oil is pumped into slop oil tanks for reprocessing in the

refinery. The base sediment (residual oily sludge) in solid state has an oil content of around

3-8%wt and is disposed through bioremediation facility inside the refinery.

One-time Catalyst is generated whenever the activity of catalyst is reduced to such a level

that further plant operation is not possible. These catalysts are stored in drums and are

disposed off suitably.

Kitchen wastes are generated in every household of the township. Also canteen wastes are

generated in refinery. Both these waste are collected and processed in Organic Waste

Convertor.

Waste batteries/Spent catalyst generated and returned back to manufactures/vendors under

buyback scheme.

Metal waste and drum waste generated are disposed suitably.

EIA Report


For the proposed project, IOCL Paradip allocates the recurring cost of INR 0.1crores budget

towards expenditure on solid waste management. Spent Catalyst after every 4-5 years will be

duly recovered by PCB approved agencies

10.6.4Noise Environment

To contain to the sound pollution in the vicinity of the plant site, all noise making equipment

are specified with maximum noise generation upto 85 db (A). Only in some areas like

Process Air Compressor House, where the sound level is expected to be higher (>90 dbA),

suitable acoustic treatment will be provided along with mandatory use of ear plugs.

Comprehensive measures for noise control will be followed at the design stage in terms of

Noise level specification of various rotating equipment as per Occupational Safety

and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.

Equipment layout considering segregation of high noise generating sources.

Erecting suitable enclosures, if required, to minimize the impact of high noise

generating sources.

Sizing the flare lines with low Mach number to have lower noise levels.

Green belt of appropriate width all around the refinery towards noise attenuation

10.6.5Material Handling Storage and Transportation

Hazardous chemicals are stored in closed tanks and drums with appropriate

blanketing systems.

All transfers from drums / tanks are being done through pumps in closed pipelines.

The loading of finished products to trucks and drums is done through automated

filling systems with overflow protections.

All key raw materials are charged to the reactors through closed pipeline systems

including pneumatic systems for solid handling.

Raw materials/ intermediates/ products are stored in closed tanks/drums provided with

breather arrangements to avoid fugitive emissions.

The Mode of Transport for Product materials is given in Figure 10-2 and the Raw Material
