land, forest and induce changes in the quality of air, water, flora and fauna of the area, it has

favorable effect of industrialization on social development and progress of the nation. For overall

gain, it is necessary to strike a balance between the two aspects of economy and ecology and ensure

that impacts on the environment are minimized with improvement in socio-economic conditions.

This is better achieved through a well-planned approach of EMP relevant to the area under

consideration.

2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT / BACKGROUND INFORMATION.

i) Identification of Project and Project Proponent

Bhatia International Limited (BIL) is the company of the ‘BCC’ Group. The Group was formed in

the year 1979. The Group will be primarily engaged in trading and supply of imported coal and

indigenous Coal including Meghalaya. The Group has a network of 15 branches all over the

country. It also has agents in different countries for import of coal. The group will be the largest

importer of coal in the trading segment. It will be supplying coal from the various mines of Coal

India Limited as well as imported coal to industrial consumers like cement, Sponge Iron, Fertilizer,

Rayon Steel, Power, Paper, Synthetics, Solvent extraction and many others in Northern, Central,

Western and Southern parts of the country. Leading industries of National and International repute

will be amongst the customers served by the ‘BCC’ Group.

(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region.

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel. India is blessed with huge coal reserve,nearly7% of total

coal in the world,85% of this reserve is non- cookingcoal,which caters to the need of

power,cement and sponge iron plants, however most of the reserve are of very low grade coal and

the reserve of good quality coal is fast depleting.

The Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries are the major domestic producers and suppliers of

coal in India. The annual requirement of non-coking coal for various industrial sectors like

power,steel and cements increasing day by day.The reserves of low ash good coal are depleting

and hence in order to fulfill industry’s demand, huge reserve so inferior grade coal are being

mined. Due to higher demand, selective mining is not possible. The average ash in coal, now

being supplied is around37%.Inorderto maintain consistent quality of coal as per the requirements

of various customers of coal, it is necessary to set up coal washing plants in the country.

Based on the above facts, it is felt that washing of coal in the present scenario shall help using

achieving the operational efficiency and better plant performance.Hence,washing of coal is in the

national as well as regional interest.

The use of washed coal has the following advantages:

1. Supply of consistent quality coal can be ensured thereby avoiding

frequent adjustments in putt boiler and minimizing operators

2. Higher the thermal efficiency of boiler and higher steam rate

3. Less wear and tear of the coal grinding mills

4. Lower capital and operating cost for installing smaller ESP

5. Higher productivity and campaign life of DRI kiln

Our proposed Coal Washery unit will generate revenues for the State Government by way of

taxes on coal and benefit the local people by way of direct and indirect employment.

This project is expected to yield a positive impact on the socio-economic environment of the

region .It will also help in sustainable development of this area including further development of

physical infrastructural facilities.

(iv) Demand-Supply Gap

Ministry of coal identified coal washing as an important area aiming at value addition. To reap the

benefits of economics as well as environment, Coal India limited is planning to expand the capacity of

thermal coal.

• Starting from1774,India has a long history of commercial coal mining. Gross coal

resources~286BTofwhich114 BT in proven category. Ash content very high,from 20 to 55% but


4

low in sulphur content.

• 20 major coal fields located in east and south eastern quadrant of the country, involving long

distance rail haulages for major consumers.

•The coal production is projected to reach 795MTY in 2016-17and furtherto 1500MTY in 2031-32.

• Current coal demand~770MTand growing @ 6-7% per year to 980 MTin2016-17 and further

to1800MT in 2031-32.

Coal washing and coal beneficiation processes are to be given major thrust in terms of developing

strong research cells for developing better practices, suiting requirements of all the coal fields of

India. Various quality measurements should be put in to place complying with India ISO standards,

or any other globally accepted standards, event the washeries/beneficiation plants operating at

smaller capacities. Apart from such processes, focus must also be given to our mining practices and

stringent norms and practice Should be put in place for better mining practice, so as to avoid

contamination at the beginning level itself.

(v)Imports vs Indigenous production

Imported coals contains much less ash but are costlier as compared to Indian Coal.India has huge

resources of coal and by subjecting the coal to washing ,low ash coal can be obtained at a cheaper

rate than that of the imported coal.The quality of raw materials is key factor for effective plant

operation. Raw coal will be sourced from various mines of WCL like Sasti, Ballarsha and Pauni

mines located in Rajura area.

(vi)Export Possibility

Not envisaged. Entire washed coal will be used in nearby industries.

(vii) Domestic / Export Markets

There is a huge requirement in both domestic and export or high grade washed coal. The coal will be

supplied to nearby industries and thermal power plants as per the demand.

(viii)EmploymentGeneration(DirectandIndirect)duetotheproject

Industrialization uplifts the socio-economic standard of local people surrounding the plant site.

Due to expansion of existing coal washery of 1.5MTPA TO 4.0 MTPA capacity, considerable

employment will be generated.

During the construction phase work will be generated for skilled, semiskilled and unskilled

construction labors. Technical persons will be recruited during the operation phase. It is

estimated to direct employ to116 people of various skills.

of 320TPH each fitted below 100tonne capacity coal receiving steel hopper. BC1 will discharge

coal to 650 TPH double deck Primary Screen having top deck opening of 50 mm and bottom deck

of 6/13 mm opening.

• The 50 to 200 mm coal will be fed to 8 meter long picking belt (BC2). The extraneous material will

be manually picked and stacked on ground through BC 3 Belt Conveyor.

• The picking belt will discharge the coal to 210 TPH Double Roll Crushers and the crushed coal (-

50mm) will be conveyed through BC4 and the BC5 belt conveyors and screened at secondary

screen of 6/13 mm deck opening.

• The discharge of second deck of primary screen i.e. natural (6/13 to 50 mm) coal conveyed through

BC6 will discharge onto BC7 belt conveyor carrying 6/13-50 mm coal as overflow of secondary

screen.

• The underflow of double deck screen (-6/13 mm) will be fed to BC9 belt conveyor. The underflow

of secondary screen (-6/13mm) will be conveyed through BC8 to be discharged on BC9 and total

coal (-6/13mm) carried by BC9 will be stacked on the fine coal ground stock.

• The BC7 will discharge (6/13 - 50) mm coal to 2 nos. of desliming screen of 240 TPH and the

deslimed coal (6/13 -50 mm) will be fed to 2 nos. of Heavy Media Sump installed on the ground

floor of Washery building. The deslimed coal along with Heavy Media will be pumped to 2 nos. of

1000 mm dia Heavy Media Cyclone.

• The overflow of H. M. Cyclone will be fed to D/R screen (clean) of 150 TPH each. The depulped&

ringed clean coal will be stacked on ground through BC10 belt Conveyor. The tailing of H.M.

Cyclone will be fed to D/R Screen (Reject)_ and the depulped& ringed reject will be stacked on the

ground through BC11 Belt Conveyor.

• The underflow of second compartment of catchpanes of D/R screen (clean) and D/R screen (Reject)

will be collected in the Dilute Media Sump and the media will be recovered by pumping the same

to Magnetic Separator.

• The overflow of Magnetic Separator will be fed to H. M. Sump and the tailing of Magnetic

Separator will be fed to the coal thickener. The overflow of thickener will be clarified water for

recirculation in the plant.

• The underflow of thickener will be discharged to the slurry pond and the settled slurry after being

dried up will be recovered mechanically from slurry pond by JCB.

ix) Quantity of waste to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management

/disposal.

Solid Waste Generation:

About 1.0 MTPA washery rejects will be generated during the coal washing process. The

rejects will be sold to the nearby consumers. There will be not much any storage required

for the coal rejects. No other solid waste is envisaged in the coal washing process.

Wastewater generation:

Total daily water requirement in the proposed coal washery is about 7275 KLD. Out of this,

about 6450 KLD water will be collected as process effluent and will be treated in

thickeners. The treated effluent will be reused in the coal washing process. Remaining

550 KLD water will be lost as coal moisture, evaporation losses and process losses.

The plant will operate on 'Zero Discharge Principal'. There will not be any effluent

discharge from the coal washery plant. All the process effluent generated in the plant will be

treated in thickeners and will be reused in the coal washing process. Domestic effluent from

plant premises will be discharged in septic tanks followed by soak pits.

In view of conservation of water, rainwater harvesting will be carried out in the plant.

Surface run-off from the plant area will be collected in a settling tank through a network of

drains and the water will be used in the process, thereby reducing the drawal of

ground water. Rainwater from roof tops will be collected in a rainwater harvesting tank and

will be allowed to percolate to ground through a scientifically designed rainwater harvesting

system
