Source – Gujarat State Federation of C-operative Sugar Factories Molasses is considered as one of the valuable by-product of sugar industry. The total molasses availability in the country in the 2013-14 year and 2014-15 was 108.50 Lac MT and 126.12 Lac MT respectively. Therefore, the required quantity of molasses can be made available to all the distilleries in the country.


Page 21

2.1 Capacity of Distilleries

Normally distilleries are expected to work for 270 days in a year and most of the distilleries try to achieve higher capacity utilization with the available facilities. Some distilleries in India have adopted seasonal working of their distilleries in view of the fact that they can receive surplus steam and power from their sugar factories. It is an important consideration to keep the cost of production low. Some factories have installed independent boiler and turbo-alternator to run the distillery unit during off season. This will help the distilleries to use all available molasses.

Following few suggestions shall be useful for proper designing of the distillery. 1) Management should take efforts to supply molasses in adequate quantity to the distillery. 2) Both distilleries and sugar factories should have adequate molasses storage tanks. 3) As per the latest norms of CPCB, all distilleries are required to achieve „Zero Liquid Discharge of spent wash‟. Therefore, necessary measures should be taken by the management to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge and prevent any kind of pollution in surrounding area.

The SNKUSML is going to install a 45 KLPD distillery plant based on fed- batch cum cascade continuous fermentation system, advanced multi pressure distillation system to produce RS and fuel ethanol.

2.2 Location Considerations

The important factors for selections of distillery site are, a) Nearness to raw material b) Availability of utilities such as steam, electricity and water c) Adequate land for distillery and effluent treatment plant d) Avoiding likely odor nuisance to the residential colony and the public in general e) Availability of technical assistance in case of necessity f) Ease of control over both sugar factory as well as distillery by one management and sharing common facilities like workshop etc.

2.3 Molasses Storage

The factory is having 4 mild steel molasses storage tanks each of 5600 MT capacity, total storing capacity as 22400 MT in its premises. 1 out of the 4 tanks will be exclusively for distillery purpose. Proper care should be taken by the sugar factory to cool down molasses before it goes to molasses storage tank. The molasses storage tank should have a suitable pump for recirculation of molasses. A two-month stored molasses is ideal for fermentation. The molasses can be pumped through pipeline, from the sugar factory storage tank to the distillery day molasses tank.

2.4 Water Requirement

Total water input for 45 KLPD distillery based on Continuous fermentation, multi pressure vacuum

distillation, spent wash treatment as bio methanation, concentration of biomethanated spent wash with

integrated evaporation and standalone evaporation system to concentrate biomethanated spent wash (6%

to 30%) and composting system will be around 1486 M3 /day. The process condensate, spent lees,

cooling tower blow down and WTP blowdown amounting 515 Cu.M/day will be treated in a ETP unit

and approximately 1162 M3 /day (spent less recycle, vacuum pump recycles, steam condensate and

treated effluent) will be recycled back to process and non-process applications. Thus, actual fresh water

requirement is about 324 Cu. Meter/day.

The SNKUSML is drawing water from the borewells. Water storage facility of about 263.86 M3 is

already available within the factory premises. Thus, sufficient quantity of water can be made available. To

achieve better efficiency and to maintain the plant and machinery in good condition, it is necessary to

have proper water treatment system. Water will be treated in filtration unit to remove turbidity and algae.

Filtered water will be chlorinated and used for process. Soft water will be used for cooling tower make-

up and other applications. By having proper water supply system such as clear water pumps etc, the

distillery can have good water supply arrangement.

2.5 Steam and Water Requirement

Steam The steam requirement for the 45 KLPD distillery for production of rectified spirit, fuel alcohol production and concentration of effluent from after bio methanation (from initial 5-6% to final 30%) will be 7- 7.5 MT/hr. This steam requirement will be met from sugar factory boiler. Therefore, required steam


Page 22

and power will be made available for distillery plant from the sugar factory boiler and T. G. set. Necessary arrangement for reducing the steam pressure and de-superheating has to be made, if required.

2.6 Power

The estimated requirement of power for proposed distillery and ETP will be 825 KWH. The required electricity for 45 KLPD distillery will be generated and supplied from the Co-gen TG set at an average price of Rs 2.80/ unit.

2.7 Need of Project and its Importance to the Country and Region

SNKUML has proposes 45 KLPD molasses based distillery unit at their existing sugar unit. Distillery unit will operate 270 days/annum. Alcohol has assumed a very important place in the country‟s economy. It is a vital raw material for a number of chemicals. It has been a source of revenue by way of excise duty levied by the State Government on alcoholic liquors. It has potential as a fuel in the form of power alcohol for blending with petrol in the ratio of 20:80. The use of alcohol for the purpose of potable liquor is as higher as its use for industrial purposes. Alcohol is used for manufacture of country liquor consumed by common masses. Alcohol is produced by fermenting sugar and is used in industry as industrial alcohol or power alcohol or for drinking purpose as potable alcohol. The basic raw material used is molasses (sugar).

2.8 Strengths of the Project

The main strengths of this project include: Background and experience of the shareholder, as well as the leadership from the promoters Adequate support Availability of basic infrastructure including approach, land, water, experienced manpower. Environment friendly power generation. Close to demand / load centers Excellent operations and results of existing project in private sector sugar mills in India & Gujarat Excellent response to the project, at the local farmer level, State Government, National and

International financial institutions and equity partners.

3.5 PROCESS DESCRIPTION: PROCESS DESCRIPTION MOLASSES BASED DISTILLERY

The proposed distillery project (Molasses based of 45 KLPD Capacity) will adopt the best technology available for converting molasses into ethanol. The present trend is to adopt continuous fermentation/Fed batch method to ferment molasses into alcohol, which is distilled in a multistage distillation/pressure vacuum column, system. Extra Neutral Alcohol (ENA) is manufactured from Rectified Spirit. The impurities in Rectified Spirit are reduced to considerable extent by properly diluting and redistilling the spirit. The impurities like aldehydes, acids, Esters, higher alcohols are minimized by controlled condition and tapping impurities at appropriate points during distillation. The eco-friendly Molecular Sieve Technology will be used for production of Fuel Ethanol. The integrated and independent evaporation system will be used for concentration of effluent.

Machinery and Hardware: 1. Continuous/Fed batch Fermentation process which consists of Yeast Propagation System, Sludge

Washing and Decantation System, Spent wash and Spent Lees recycling system. 2. Pressure – Vacuum Distillation system with integrated evaporation system where in the Steam

Economy will be obtained considerably. Simultaneously recovering steam condensate which will be recycled back to Steam Generating Unit.

3. ETP system – It will be based on modern concept to obtain Zero Discharge.

4. Plant shall be more water / energy conservative i.e. Spent Lees / Part of Spent Wash will be recycled for the process, low steam consumption for MPR distillation system.

5. Avoidance of scaling problem due to use of MPR distillation system. 6. Simultaneous generation of steam and power for the process and distillery project

3.6 TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Technology: Continuous Fermentation Process Fermentation Process Molasses is the chief raw material used for production of alcohol. Molasses contains about 50% total sugars, of which 30 to 33% are cane sugar and the rest are reducing sugar. During the fermentation, yeast strains to the species Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, a living microorganism belonging to class fungi converts sugar present in the molasses such as sucrose or glucose in to alcohol. Chemically this transformation for sucrose to alcohol can be approximated by the equation: - I) II)

Thus 180 gm. of sugars on reaction gives 92 gms of alcohol. Therefore, 1 MT of sugar gives 511.1 kgs of alcohol. The specific gravity of alcohol is 0.7934, therefore, 511.1 kg. of alcohol is equivalent to 511.1 / 0.7934 = 644.19 litres of Alcohol. During Fermentation of other by-products like glycerin, succinic acids etc. also are formed from sugars. Therefore, actually 94.5% total fermentable sugars are available for alcohol conversion. Thus, one MT of sugar will give only 644 x 0.945 = 608.6 litres of alcohol, under ideal condition theoretically. Normally only 88 to 90 % efficiencies are realized in Continuous type plant. One MT of molasses containing 47 % fermentable sugars gave an alcoholic yield of 283 litres per MT.

Page 29

A) Distillery Spent wash Treatment- The mother liquor left behind after distilling-off alcohol is called as spent wash. The spent wash of distillery poses a very serious problem by way of threat to the environment. The sugar mill management has proposed to install 45 KLPD distillery based on continuous fermentation with provision to operate the process on Fed-batch mode (if VFA content in molasses is high) and Multipressure distillation with MSDH technology to produce Anhydrous ethanol. Mill management has also decided to install biogas plant suitable for 45 KLPD distillery plant effluent feed as a primary effluent treatment system followed by integrated Multiple effect evaporator (MEE) followed by standalone multiple effect biomethanated spentwash evaporation plant (standalone MEE) for concentration of biomethanated spentwashupto 30% total solids content as a secondary effluent system. Concentarted spentwash and pressmud will be used for making biocompost as a tertiary treatment system and to achieve “Zero Spentwash Discharge” as per CPCB norms. The spentwash evaporation condensate quantity of 385 m3/day and distillation plant spent lees - 69m3/day will be treated in condensate polishing unit (CPU) and treated water will be reused for distillery cooling water or for fermentation process (molasses dilution as make-up water).

Primary Effluent Treatment System: The raw spentwash coming from the Multipressure distillation system at the rate of 8-11 liter per liter of alcohol produced (i.e. approx 450 m3/day at about 12% total solids&spentless) will be taken to the biogas plant for primary treatment. During the biomethanation process the COD will be reduced by about 65% and biogas will be produced at the rate of about 0.5 NM3/kg of COD consumed. Total volume of biomethanated spentwash generated will be 482m3/day with approximately 5 to 6 % solids.

Secondary Effluent Treatment system: Biomethanated spentwash of 482TPD containing about 5-6% total solids will be evaporated in integrated multiple effect evaporation plant to 30% total solids (final quantity – 96 TPD).

Integrated &Standalone Multiple Effect Biomethanated Spentwash Evaporation System (MEE): SNKUSML has proposed to install a new MEE system and will be based on principles of falling film or forced circulation or combination of both. After IMEE, the quantity of spentwash will be reduced from 482TPD (6% total solids) to 96TPD (30% total solids). The evaporation condensate (approx. 385 m3) &spent leesafter treatment in CPU will be reused for distillery cooling tower make up or for fermentation process for dilution of molasses.

Condensate Polishing Unit: Following condensate polishing treatment schemes are adopted by industry-

Tertiary effluent Treatment System: Concentrated biomethanated spentwash (96 TPD ) and pressmud will be used for making biocompost as a tertiary effluent treatment system to achieve “Zero Spentwash dishchrge” as per CPCB norms.

Biocomposting: The mixing of spentwash and press-mud (50-70% moisture) will be carried out (1:1 proportion) in trenches with the help of homogenizing/aerotiller (Self propoelling) machine for spraying, mixing, turning, loading and unloading of compost material. Addition of decomposing culture/cow dung will provide microbes required for biocomposting.It is observed that in the first five days, fungal activity is predominant and in subsequent days bacterial activity continues until stabilization of organic matter into humus is accomplished. The block diagram of the proposed “zero spentwash Discharge” scheme of 45KLPD distillery is given below:

Fig 3.3 Effluent Treatment system

Recovery of treated water & its recycling-

For recovery of water from waste water, the treated water from ETP may be sent to tertiary System consisting of polishing tank followed by pressure filtration, activated carbon system and disinfection by chlorination. After treatment, efforts will be made to recycle to maximum extent the treated effluent for the process.

3.9 Air Pollution Control Facilities:

Figure 1.1: EIA – Users

This EIA is aimed at fulfilling the requirements of all these possible users. 1.3 SWOT ANALYSIS

1. Strengths : Raw material is available from own factory & with in this district itself which there to was a

waste product (and gap if any can be filled by neighbouring District). The procurement centers are well connected by rail and road. Good market potential for finished products in India (pharmaceutical, food and other activities

and as petrol-substitute). Treated as priority sector project. More alcohol recovery per ton of molasses due to prompt instrumentation Government appreciates this venture which is in rural area. Availability of correct and latest Technology and Equipments with after sales service is

immediately available.

2. Weaknesses May not be able to get quality material in lean months, occasionally. Changes in Govt. Policy for Taxes with respect to Alcohol. 3. Opportunities : Bringing a new project for benefit of local people. Use of waste residuals for reuse benefits. 4. Threats : Competition from existing units as regards to pricing Changes in Government policy. Non-availability of raw material, a possibility due to drastic water shortage occasionally. Volatile international and domestic prices. Compliance with stringent environment norms. High attrition rate, at all levels Reluctance of suppliers and end users to compensate for increasing costs.

1.5.3.1 Site Selection & Justification thereof

Proposed molasses based 45 KLPD distillery project will be done on available open land within the

existing sugar plant premises. As adequate land is available within existing sugar factory premises, no

additional land will be acquired. Hence, no other alternative sites are examined. The site for the existing

sugar plant was finalized considering the ideal location for the industries. The proposed distillery plant

location is considered based on availability of molasses, steam, power and water from existing sugar unit

and hence it is the best option as far as location is considered.

Photographs of the existing sugar plant & area for proposed distillery plant have been shown in figure 1.4

& 1.5 respectively.

1.5.4 IMPORTANCE AND BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT Ethanol has assumed a very important place in the economy of the country. It is used as a raw material for number of organic chemicals, as a potential fuel in the form of power alcohol when blended with petrol and as an ingredient in beverages. Use of ethanol as a main ingredient in beverages is well known. Further, it is a major source of revenue by way of excise duty to the State Governments. The economic and social significance of alcohol production has of late assumed considerable importance all over the world. The importance and utility of ethanol as an industrial raw material for manufacture of variety of organic chemicals is now being increasingly appreciated all over the world. This is partly due to the escalating costs of these chemicals produced through petrochemical route consequent and abnormal increase in crude oil prices. Crude oil which was sold at 2 dollars per barrel in 1969 is now around 135 dollars. The price is predicted to increase rise further depending upon international situation and with depletion/exhaustion of petroleum resources of the world. Ethanol has a potentiality as fuel in the form of “power alcohol” for blending with petrol. This trend is continuing and will continue in view of the fact that potable liquor has larger revenue generating potential for the Governments. The demand for alcohol will always be there for industrial purposes. Further the use of alcohol in automobile fuel will enhance the demand for alcohol. Government of India has made mandatory to blend 10 percent fuel alcohol in petrol. Other than the above mentioned major requirement, alcohol is also being used in the production of many downstream chemicals including drugs, polymers, plastic, etc. The Government of Gujarat envisaged the policy to encourage sugar industries along with co-generation of power and alcohol in the state with various incentives. Sugar cultivation gives higher economical returns to the farmers. The Government of Gujarat envisaged the policy to encourage co-gen sugar industries in the state with various incentives including power purchase agreement. All India Ethanol Demand in the year 2015-16 was 2656.314 million liters & in Gujarat it was 146.400 million liters in the year 2015-16. Against this demand, 1036.272 Million litres was the total allotted quantity of Ethanol in India in 2015-16, same was 19.431 million litres for Gujarat. This indicates the demand supply gap of Ethanol & ultimately clears importance/need of Distilleries. Total Alcohol Production of World during the Year 2015 was 113407 & for the period 2011 to 2015 it was 537113 Million Liters. The establishment of alcohol power units in sugar industry will thus meet the national interest of economic power, substitute to petroleum as a source of raw material for various chemicals, foreign exchange saving through sustainable development. Further it helps to uplift the rural mass. The project has the direct employment potential of 83 people and indirect employment opportunities to more than 50 persons in terms of transportation, vehicle maintenance, petty shops etc. 1.5.4.1 Ethanol Policy of GOI

The Gazette of India: Extraordinary [Part I- sec. I] Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas Resolution New Delhi, 3rd September 2002 No. P-45018/28/2000-C. C. – Govt. of India had taken a decision to allow use of anhydrous alcohol for blending with petrol. Three phase programs announced by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas in 2002 was as follows. 1st Phase – 5 % blending of Ethanol with petrol (E5) to be made mandatory and implemented in 9

states and 4 union territories from Jan„2003. 2nd Phase – (i) E5 to be launched in the remaining states, (ii) 10 % blending to be tried on pilot

scale and (iii) Research and Development for mixing of ethanol in diesel to be carried out. 3rd Phase – Mixing of 10 % ethanol and higher in Petrol to be implemented. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) has approved a proposal for implementation of the ethanol blended petrol (EBP) programme in the country. Five percent ethanol would be blended with petrol at various depots. This committee is expected to review and fix the price of fuel ethanol in coming years. In the subsequent meeting of Ethanol Manufacturers of India and with oil companies, it was decided that the AA will be purchased @ Rs.27.00 PBL Ex. Distillery and this rate will be applicable for one year.


Page 70

This decision of using ethanol blended petrol was supposed to increase the overall requirement of alcohol for the country, by about 110 Crore litres of rectified spirit and the prices of rectified spirit /ENA and Industrial alcohol will increase proportionately. Implementation of Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme In the Country (Except North-Eastern States, J & K, Andaman & Nicobar And Lakshadweep) [Press Statement issued on August 16, 2010 by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)] The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs today approved the proposal for implementation of Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme in the country (Except North-Eastern States, J & K, Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep). The brief details of the proposal are: i) Fixing of an ad hoc uniform ex-factory price throughout the country at Rs. 27/-per liter for

ethanol procured by Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) from the date of communication of the order till the time price is recommended by the expert committee and a decision taken thereon by the competent authority. The price of Rs.27/- per liter would be purely interim in nature and subject to adjustment from the final price so determined.

ii) Noting the order for constitution of Expert Committee for pricing of ethanol, under the Chairmanship of Dr. Saumitra Chaudhury, Member Planning Commission, with Principal Advisor (Energy), Chairman, CACP, Joint Secretary from Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Joint Secretary (Sugar), a representative of Sugar Industry, and a representative from Oil Industry, as members. The committee would follow the procedure to determine the formula/principle for pricing of ethanol. The Committee will submit its recommendations expeditiously.

iii) Instructing the OMCs to close all existing tenders and begin procurement of ethanol at the uniform ex-factory ad hoc price of Rs. 27/- per liter from indigenous sources only. Thereafter the procurement would be done at the price approved on consideration of the recommendation of the Expert Committee.

iv) The procurement would be done under supply contracts with penalties on sugar industry for default in supply and on oil industry for not lifting ethanol.

v) The suppliers would need to fulfill all contractual obligations under existing supply contracts including for extended period.

vi) The OMCs will bear the transportation charges from the factory to the depot on the same rate at which the OMCs transport their products. The actual transportation would be done by the sugar factories. The OMCs would also bear the cost of import/export-fees, taxes etc. as applicable.

vii) Constitution of a Working Group of officers which shall apart from allocating quantities and locations amongst suppliers, ascertain the availability of ethanol and recommend the blend percentage in the States and UTs up to a limit of 10 %.

1.5.4.2 World Scenario of Ethanol World ethanol production has increased at a rate of almost 20 % in the last few years. In 2012, there was a production of 82.683 billion liters of fuel ethanol with the US accounting for about 61.68 % of this production followed by Brazil at 20.50 billion liters. About 83 % of the total ethanol produced was used for blending into petrol and only a small quantity was used for drinking and other purposes. Many countries from Asia, Africa, Europe & South America are now entering into ethanol production and it„s blending with petrol. In State of Union address in January 2007, President Bush proposed to raise consumption of renewable fuels to 132.3 billion liters by 2017, which indicates that ethanol is going to be the main pillar of future US energy policy. As fuel ethanol is dominating the production portfolio, the largest players are to be found in those countries with a highly developed fuel ethanol program. Brazil is now emerging as most economic ethanol producer. In the year 2012, Brazil produced 20.50 billion liters. Brazil is expected to require about 2.0 - 3.0 billion liters extra ethanol each year. 1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY (TOR) In accordance to the Standard ToR prescribed by MoEFCC vide letter dated 26

Considering an average quantity of molasses production/annum as 40,000 MT, a quantity of 11840 MT molasses will be required from outside sugar mills. Molasses production in the state of Gujarat was 5.09 Lac MT in the year 2014-15, 5.21 Lac MT in the year 2015-16 & 3.90 Lac MT in the year 2016-17. In Gujarat there are about 8 Co-operative Distillery units & 6 Private Distillery units with their total licensed capacity for RS is of 485 KLPD. A list of distilleries is indicated in Table 2.7. Considering this licensed capacity, it will require about 1.94 Lac MT of molasses. As per the above details of molasses production of Gujarat it is clearly seen that molasses is available in plenty in Gujarat. Hence, there will not be any shortage of raw material.

2.5.6.3 Status of acquisition of land Land is already in possession of SNKUSML. 7/12 extract is attached as Annexure - 5. 2.5.6.4 R & R details in respect of land in line with state government policy No R & R issues involved. 2.5.6.5 Permission and approval for the use of forest land (forestry clearance), if any, and recommendations of the state forest department. (If applicable) Not Applicable. Forest land is not involved in proposed project. The land is already being used for industrial purpose. Sufficient land is available within existing sugar unit industrial premises for proposed project. 2.6 PROCESS DESCRIPTION ALONG WITH MAJOR EQUIPMENTS AND MACHINERIES, PROCESS FLOW SHEET (QUANTATIVE) FROM RAW MATERIAL TO PRODUCTS A) PROCESS DESCRIPTION FOR RECTIFIED SPIRIT (RS) The process of converting molasses to RS can be divided into following sub sections: 1] Feed Preparation and weighing 2] Yeast Propagation and Fermentation 3] Multi-pressure Distillation 1] Feed preparation and weighing Molasses Stored in a storage tank is first weighed in a tank with load cells so that accurate quantity can be fed to the fermentation section. The weighed molasses then transferred from tank to the dilutor in fermentation section where it is diluted with water and fed to the Fermenter. 2] Yeast propagation and fermentation The Yeast from Slant is transferred to Shaker Flasks and grown to the required volume. This “genetically marked” yeast strain is then further propagated, under aseptic conditions, in yeast culture vessel. These vessels are equipped with eductors which are designed to achieve enhanced efficiencies through better sugar / yeast contact by shearing and mixing, efficient oxygen transfer etc The ready yeast “seed” is then transferred from culture vessel to fermenter. The molasses is diluted by process water. The glucose in the Feed media gets converted to ethanol, in each of the 4 Fermenters operating in Batch mode. A plate heat exchanger and a circulation pump are provided to each fermenter, which will continuously recirculate the Fermenting Wash through PHE for maintaining the Fermenters at 30 deg C. The nutrients, biocide, acid and anti-foam agents are fed to the fermenters as per process requirement. The CO2 liberated during fermentation is sent to CO2 Scrubber for recovery of ethanol otherwise being lost in vent. The Fermented Wash is then sent to the Clarification Tank equipped with Lamella Separator. The settled sludge is sent to Sludge Washing Tank for recovery of alcohol. 3] Multipressure distillation (RS production) The fermented wash is fed to CO2 stripper column to remove CO2 gas present in wash. Alcohol is stripped off water in stripper column. The top vapors [alcohol + water] are fed to Calendria. Distillate from Calendria is fed to extraction column; The Make DM Water & Recycled Spent Lees from Second Rectifier is used as dilution water. In extraction column most of the high boiling impurities separate from ethanol in presence of water. The bottom ethanol water mixture is pre-heated before being fed to rectifier column. In rectifier column RS is taken out from top tray. The impure spirit from top of CO2 stripper column, rectifier column, fed to fusel oil column. The final impure spirit cut is taken out from the fusel oil column and partly alcohol is recycled to rectifier column. The alcohol containing fusel oil from rectifier column is fed to fusel oil column. Rectification column works under pressure. The CO2 stripper, stripping column, works under vacuum and fusel oil column works under atmospheric condition. The top vapours from rectifier column are condensed in Stripper Reboiler. The alcohol water vapours from stripping column are partly sent to CO2 stripper bottom for heating. The Rectifier column and fusel oil column gets heat from steam. The Distillation process is operated through PLC.


Page 82

B] PROCESS DESCRIPTION FOR FA (DEHYDRATION – RS TO FA) Rectified Spirit at Azeotropic concentration is pumped by Feed Pump. This pump takes care of the entire backpressure of the system. The pump is in Stainless Steel material of construction for wetted parts complete with flameproof motor and mechanical seal. The rectified spirit will first pass through feed Preheater, which will pass through vaporizer cum super heater which will convert the Rectified Spirit feed to superheated Alcohol vapour stream ready to feed to the Molecular Sieve bottles. The degree of superheat is control via a temperature control loop and the flow rate to the plant is control via flow control loop. The superheated vapours will pass through a Sieve bottle, which is already regenerated, and pressurize to working pressure via. a bleed flow from an operating sieve bottle. After the drying cycle the flow will be shifted to the next Sieve bottle, which is ready after duly regenerated and pressurize. This sequence minimizes the rate of rise and fall of pressure through the molecular sieve. Thus, minimizing the attrition of the sieve beads. The sieve column after completion of drying cycle is evacuated to remove the adsorb water through an evacuation system via a condenser. The mixture of Alcohol and water is preheat by Anhydrous Alcohol Vapour in Plate Heat Exchanger before being feed to Recovery Column, which enriches the stream back to Azeotropic composition. The bottom of recovery column get heat from partly by condensing Anhydrous Alcohol Vapour in Plate Heat Exchanger the Anhydrous Alcohol vapours condensed in product cooler. A flow indicator indicates the rate of Anhydrous Alcohol going to the Anhydrous Alcohol receivers.

CHAPTER 3 - DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION:

This chapter illustrates the description of the existing environmental status of the study area with reference to the prominent environmental attributes. The environmental influence due to the project is likely to be restricted to project site and its surroundings consisting of about 10 km region around the factory premises. Therefore, the study area for monitoring of environmental parameters covers 10 km distance around the project site. The existing environmental setting is considered to establish the baseline conditions which are described with respect to climate, hydro geological aspects, atmospheric conditions, water quality, soil quality, vegetation pattern, ecology, socio economic profile, land use, and places of archaeological importance. The baseline studies are carried out for one season covering variations in various domains of environment. In order to assess the impacts of the proposed project on existing physical, biological and social environment, it is necessary to study the present scenario of the area by collecting information on the following parameters: 1. Land Environment 2. Meteorology 3. Air Environment 5. Noise Environment 6. Water Environment 7. Soil Environment 8. Biological Environment 9. Socio-economic Environment The relevant information and data (both primary and secondary) were collected in core as well as buffer zone (10 km distance from the plant boundary) during Winter Season (October, 2017 to December, 2017) in accordance with the guidelines for preparation of EIA studies. 3.2 MATERIALS, METHOD AND APPROACH

This project believes strongly in “Development without pollution” and has undertaken the work of examining the project environmentally. 3.2.1 Materials: The work involves three activities viz. (1) collection of dry data and statistics by literature survey, interviewing resource institutes and general public, (2) wet studies by sampling and laboratory analysis of ambient air, surface water, ground water, noise, soil, etc. and (3) logically analyzing the findings of dry and wet studies for interpretation, extrapolation and inference. A number of officers/offices were contacted in the course of this study. Samples were collected in 2017; as follows, vide Table No.3.1

defence. 11 The legal provisions required to be obeyed. 12 Probable public acceptability. 3.2.3 Approach: For a streamline work, a standard six-step model of working is adopted for this Project study. The six generic steps associated with environment impacts are: 1 Identification of pollutant emissions and impact concerns related to the construction and

operation of the development project, 2 Description of the environmental setting in terms of existing environmental quality, emission

inventory and natural data in the project study area, 3 Procurement of relevant laws, regulations or criteria related to environmental quality and/or

pollution emission effluent standards, 4 Conduction of impact prediction activities, including the use of simple dilution calculations,

qualitative predictions based on case study and professional judgments, 5 Use of pertinent information from step 3, along with professional judgment and public input to

assess the significance of anticipated beneficial/ detrimental impacts, and 6 Identification, development and incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures for the adverse

impacts. Figure below delineates the relationship between the six steps or activities in the suggested conceptual approach of Figure No.3.1

To develop land use and land cover map using land coordinates of the plant area To identify and mark important basic features according to primary and secondary data To evaluate the project's impact on existing land use of the project area To suggest measures for conservation and sustainable use of land 3.5.2 Remote Sensing & GIS Study

Remote Sensing is a process of identification and demarcation of variousobjects on surface of earth from a distance without coming into physical contact. Remote sensing is largely concerned with the measurement of electromagnetic radiation from the sun, which is reflected, scattered, and emitted by the objects on the surface of the earth. Different objects on the surface of the earth reflect different amounts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The potential of remote sensing in natural resources mapping basically depends on spatial, radiometric and temporal resolution of the sensor. Therefore, satellite remote sensing with it‟s capability of repetitive coverage, multi-spectral imaging, synoptic view and low cost can play an important role in the delineation of various landuse and landcover classes. Land cover is a fundamental parameter describing the Earth‟s surface. This parameter is a considerable variable that impacts on and links many parts of the human and physical environments. Remote sensing technique has ability to represent of land cover categories by means of classification process. With the availability of multispectral remotely sensed data in digital form and the developments in digital processing, remote sensing supplies a new prospective for land-cover/land-use analysis. Geographical Information Systems have already been used for assessing environmental problems, since they provides a flexible environment and a powerful tool for the manipulation and analysis of spatial information for land cover feature identification and the maps of all variables were combined to extract information to better understand analyzing. Satellite remote sensing, in conjunction with geographic information systems, has been widely applied and been recognized as a powerful and effective tool in analyzing land cover/use categories This study made use of remotely sensed data and GIS technologies; to evaluate qualitatively and quantitatively outcome project site land cover/use distribution. Obtained results were compared, visualized and analyzed, in Geographic Information System. The project site situated at21°49‟ 37.91” N latitude and 73°23‟ 17.04” E longitude. 3.5.3 DataUsed:

Satellite Data- Landsat 8cloud free data has been used for Landuse / landcover analysis. Satellite Sensor – Landsat 8 Path and Row – Path 148, Row 45 Resolution - 30 m Date of Pass: 01-Jan-2018

3.5.4. Methodology

The multispectral data obtained from sensors, due to its synoptic view and revisit capability, can effectively be used for continuous monitoring of land surface. The spatial, spectral and radiometric resolutions are the three primary factors in the estimation of various landuse/landcover classes. The satellite data is then taken into a hard disk and then converted in the standard false colour composite by assigning blue, green and red to green, red and near infrared band respectively. Image enhancement has been done by the technique called histogram stretching between the ranges of 0-255, as the data content is 16-bit. Applying formulae derived by modeling the sources of distortions in order to correct the systematic distortions such as earth curvature carried out rectification and registration of satellite data. The random distortions were corrected using well distributed ground control points occurring in raw data. To achieve planimetric accuracy, the remote sensing scene was rectified with respect to SOI maps on 1: 50,000 scales. The GCP‟s in the scene such as rail, road intersections, corners of water reservoirs, bunds, etc., and were identified on theimage as well as on the reference map. Third order model was constructed and finally registration of image was carried out with nearest neighborhood resampling taking map as reference and one map registration was achieved.


Page 90

Then the subset of image has been taken according to the boundary of the study area. The digital classification technique has been used for the extraction of the landuse/landcover information from the imagery.

3.5.6 Land use/Land Cover Classes Details

Satellite data was classified using supervised classification technique. Maximum likelihood algorithm classifier was used for the analysis. The scenes were individually classified and then were integrated to get a composite classified output where information from Rabi season is available. A truth table was generated taking 0.95 as the conversion threshold. After aggregation, the final classified output was converted in raster format. The image was then converted in raster format, which is unerstood by GIS. Six landuse/landcover classes identified in total 10 km radius area around Project Site. The area under each class has been calculated and given below.

3.5.7 Observation of the LULC data

The study area mainly comprises of Agriculture (Harvested), Agriculture (Other Crops) & Agriculture (Sugar Cane) land which constitutes 24.52%, 16.78% & 6.01% respectively of the total area.

The second largest area falls under grass land & shrub land which constitutes 25.95% & 19.34% respectively of total study area.

There are few water bodies existing within 10 Km radius of study area. Narmada river flows at a distance of 7.50 km from the plant site in North direction.

Study area covers 3.03% of forest land, 0.71% water body area & 0.00% barren land. Thus, other classes occupy only 03.67% of the total area.

Dharikheda, Gamkuva, Timbi etc. are the nearest villages from the plant site. There are no Ecological Sensitive Areas (National Park, Wild Life Sanctuary, Biosphere

Reserve etc.) within 10 km radius of the study area.

3.5.8 Interpretation & Conclusion

SNKUSML has an existing sugar plant and proposed molasses based distillery plant will be installed within the existing plant premises. Thus, no additional land will be acquired for the same.

Infrastructure facilities are already present in the existing plant; additional may be developed on the basis of requirement.


Page 92

3.6 TOPOGRAPHY AND SOIL

The topography of the area is plain to undulating. Narmada district has a varied landscape and may be divided into fourtopographic units:

The hilly area with high relief: Area is known as Rajpipla hills marks the merging of Satpura and Shyadri ranges. It has got a prominent ridge and valley topography oriented in almost East -West direction.

Piedmont zone: Periphery of hilly area is characterized by an outward sloping accumulation of loose, coarse material which has been deeply dissected.

Alluvial plain: The alluvial plain, which is nearly flat, constitutes a huge pile of alluvium, deposited during the Holocene and Pleistocene times. Narmada flood plain has conspicuous recent disposition of its own. Narmada has got an entrenched meandering course which has cut terraces and deposited flood load on both sides

The soils found are as follows:

Black cotton soil: These soils have their origin in trap. They vary from 60 cm to as high as a few meters. Black soils formed due to decomposition of trap parent material transported through flow of rivers. The soils are dark brown to very dark grayish brown in colour, containing 40-70% clay, are poor in drainage and neutral to alkaline reaction.

Gorat soil: It is a sandy alluvial type of soil with contain 40% clay and grater sand particle that‟s why it do not retain moisture.

Bhatha soil: It is lateritic type of soil; containing lot of pebbles with water observation capacity is low.

Stony soil: The stony soil covers only forest areas and no cultivation is done on these soils.

3.7 GEOLOGY

The Gujarat state exposes rocks belonging to the Pre-cambrian, Mesozoic and Cenozoic era. The hard rocks cover about 49% of the total area of Gujarat, the rest being occupied by sediments of Quaternary period. The hard rock comprises Pre Cambrian metamorphosed and associated intrusives, sedimantry rocks of Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras and the traps/flows constituting Deccan volcanic of Cretaceous Eocene age. The different geological formations occuring in various parts of Gujarat are shown in the "Geological Map of Gujarat" (Figure - 3.5).

The Deccan Basalt, the of rocks igneous origin of Creataceous-Eocene age and intratrappean Bagh beds of upper Creataceous are very well seen exposed around Rajpipla and along the Narmada River. It is intruded by dykes and plugs ranging in the composition from basaltic to trachytic.

The Deccan volcanics are unconformly overlain by Tertiary rock formation. i.e. from lower Eocene age (vagadkhol formation) to Middle Miocene to Lower Pliocene age (Jhagadiaformation). Lithologically, they are mainly sedimentary rock viz, clay, friable, ferruginous pebbly and calcareous sandstones, argillaceous (clayey), fossilliferous limestone and intraformational conglomerates.

The Tertiary rock formations are overlain unconformly by variety of sediments pointing to diverse depositional processes (viz, marine, fluvio-marine and Aeolian) of Quaternary period (Pleistocene &Holocene). It is known as „Gujarat Alluvium‟, occupying large area from the coastal tract to inland in Mainland Gujarat. To the south of Narmada River, the width of alluvium tract narrows down gradually and its thickness is less than 100m. Lithologically, the sediments comprises of alternate bands of clays, fine to coarse sand, Kankars, gravels, pebbles, cobbles and loosely compacted conglomerates.

3.9 HYDROGEOLOGY

The river Narmada, which flows in almost East –West direction through northern part of the district

which is predominantly underlain by unconsolidated alluvial sand, gravel and boulders. Most part of the

Narmada district is covered by basaltic rocks of the Cretaceous age.

Groundwater occurs under unconfined conditions in all the rock formations in most of the area of the

Narmada district. Weathered zone below water table acts as good repository for storage of ground water

in Deccan Trap areas. In the Infratrapean rocks (Bagh beds- sandstone, marls and limestone), apart from

occurrence of waterin the pore spaces between sand grains, the principal joints, fissures and other planes

of structural weakness play an important role in the movement ofgroundwater. In the alluvium, ground

water occupies the open spaces between particles of sand, gravel and boulder.

Hydrogeological conditions in the different geological formations are presented in the figure 3.6.

The Deccan Trap has given rise to multi-layered stratified aquifers. Each individual flow comprises two

distinct units, namely the upper vesicular basalt and the lower massive basalt. The massive basalt is hard

and compact with primary porosity butthe vesicular basalts exhibit porosity. The movement of

groundwater is there for controlled by the secondary porosity developed by the presence of fractures

andjoints. The palaeo-weathering which is in variably observed at depth near the top of every flow, has

given rise to good aquifers at depth. The yield of the dug wells in Deccan traps, which range in depth

from 5 to 25 m bgl, sustain pumping from half an hour to 10 hours with discharge varying from 200 to

1200 liters per minute (LPM) for draw down of 4 to 7 m. Bore well tapping deeper zones down to 150

m below ground level (bgl), have yielded 100 to 600 LPM for a drawdown of 6 to 15 m.

The sand stone is the main aquifers in the Tertiary formations but the limestone also yields significant

quantities of groundwater wherever karstic development has taken place. Deep tube wells tapping the

Tertiary formations are capable of yielding 300 to 3000 LPM of water for meager draw down of 1 to 7

m. The alluvium formations in the western most part of the area do not constitute potential aquifers on

account of inferior quality of water. The alluvial aquifers in the district are exploited with the help of

dug wells, dug cum bored wells and tube wells for irrigation. The yield of wells in alluvial formation

varies from 400 to 700 liters per minute (lpm) for draw down varying from a few meters to as much as

21 m. The wells in hard rocks generally have low to moderate recuperation.

In south Gujarat, more than 75% of the area has water level between 5-20 mbgl. Deeper water levels of

more than 20 mbgl are mainly observed in Narmada district. The deepest water level of 29 mbgl is

recorded at sundarpura in Narmada district. Ground water development in Jhagadia taluka is highest

(64.97%).

As per groundwater category map, this particular area falls under safe category.

3.9.2 ASSESSMENT OF SURFACE WATER RESOURCES

Surface water body available in 10 km radius of study area is Narmada River & Karjan River. Narmada

is one of the perennial sources of water withinthe study area. This river is located at North side of the

Project area. The river flows from east to west direction at a distance of 7.5 km from the project site.

During the study period the river Narmada was flowing with full of water level can beseen in Figure

3.20. There is major irrigation system planned on the river. However, the water from the river is used

for domestic requirements and irrigation.

3.9.3 ASSESSMENT OF GROUND WATER RESOURCES

The main source of ground water recharge in the area is rainfall. In order to augment the surface water

supplies, which may not be able to provide water in all the periods, it would be pertinent to explore the

availability of ground water and the suitability of its quality for domestic and irrigation purposes. The

Ground water in the area occurs in the interconnecting vesicles, joints, fractures, and other secondary

openings. There are mainly three types of ground water structures i.e. dug wells, bore wells and tube

wells in the area. 3.9.4 DRAINAGE PATTERN

District is drained from east to west mainly by the Narmada River. The area of project site is more or less a flat terrain with gentle slope towards north. The highest point is 70 m above M.S.L. and the lowest elevation is about 61 m above M.S. L Narmada is the most important perennial river in the area and flows in a tectonically controlled NE-SW direction and controls over all drainage of the area.In its course through the study area, the Narmada receives important tributary namely Karjan. Besides, there are in numerable seasonal streams/nallahs which dry up in summers.Karjan River flowing along eastern periphery of project site at a distance of 10 km is a perennial river having nominal flow released by Karjan Dam (15 Km from project site in SE direction) to meet irrigation demands of nearby agricultural fields as well as sewage/discharge of adjacent villages for most part of year. Average annual rainfall for Nandod was recorded as 727 mm in 2017.

3.10 SEISMICITY AND FLOOD HAZARD ZONATION OF THE AREA

3.10.1 Seismicity of the Area

Many parts of the Indian subcontinent have historically high seismicity. Seven catastrophic earthquakes of magnitude greater than 8 (Richter scale) have occurred in the western, northern and eastern parts of India and adjacent countries in the past 100 years. Approx. 59% of the land area of India is liable to seismic hazard damage. Bureau of Indian Standards [IS-1893 (Part-1): 2002], has grouped the country into four seismic zones viz. Zone-II, III, IV and V. Of these, Zone V is the most seismically active region, while zone II is the least. The Modified Mercalli (MM) intensity scale, which measures the impact of the earthquakes on the surface of the earth, broadly associated with various zones is as follows:

Table 3.6: Seismic Zones in India

S. No. Seismic Zone Risk Intensity on ModifiedMercalli (MM) Scale

1 Zone - II Low Risk Zone VI & below

2 Zone - III Moderate Risk Zone VII 3 Zone - IV High Risk Zone VIII 4 Zone - V Very High Risk Zone IX & above

Whole of Gujarat region has earthquake hazard of different levels from moderate to high as zones III to V are assigned to it in the seismic zoning map of India. The state of Gujarat has suffered from frequent earthquakes. Thus, areas in the state are vulnerable to earthquakes. Narmada District is covered under a Zone–III earthquake-prone area. The plant site as well as study area of this project lies in Zone-III of Seismic Zoning Map of India, Bureau of Indian Standards and thus can be said to be located in an area of moderate intensity zone hazard by national standards.

Figure 3.8: Seismic Zoning Map of India


Page 98

3.10.2 Flood Hazard Zonation of the Area

As per the “Vulnerability Atlas – 2nd

Addition; Peer Group, MoH and UPA; based on digitized data of

SOI, GOI; Flood Atlas, Task Force Report, C.W.C., GOI” the plant site does not fall under “area liable

to flood”. Flood Hazard Zonation Map showing the plant site is given in Figure - 3.9.

Floods in the Narmada District are a serious problem due to presence of River Narmada. The plant site

as well as study area of this project lies in Rajpipla Taluka of Narmada district & is less susceptible to

floods. Project Site elevation is 70 m MSL. Narmada River is passing at a distance of 7.50 Km in NE to

NW direction with minimum elevation of 6.09 m & maximum elevation of 8.22 m. Karjan River is

passing at 10 km in East direction from project site with a minimum elevation of 23 m & maximum

elevation of 29.87 m.Hence, if flood raises, it will not affect to the project site.

3.11 AMBIENT AIR ENVIRONMENT

Ambient air quality monitoring is done to determine the general background concentration levels. Samples were collected in the 10 km study area to observe pollution trends through out the region. It helps in providing a data base for evaluation of effects of a project activity in that region. It will be also useful in ascertaining the quality of air environment in conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during operation phase of project.

3.11.1 Meteorology

Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of air pollutants released into atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport (atmospheric stability) and topography of the area. Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much important in assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing environmental management plan. Since meteorological factors show wide fluctuations with time, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. The Meteorological data i.e. temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction, recorded for Winter Season (October 2017to December 2017) was obtained from IMD Atlas. The data was also collected from Cotton Research Station, Maktapur, Bharuch for reference.

3.11.1.1Site-specific micrometeorological data

Meteorological station was set-up at site to record surface meteorological parameter during Winter Season (October 2017 to December 2017). Wind speed and wind direction data recorded during the study period has enabled identifying the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the collected meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions were calculated and plotted as wind roses for twenty-four hour duration. Maximum and minimum temperatures including percentage relative humidity were also recorded simultaneously. Summary of the micro-meteorology at site is given in Table - 3.7. Detailed Hourly Meteorological Data has been enclosed as Annexure - 12 with this EIA.

3.11.1.2 Climate

Climatology of Gujarat is influenced by the Arabian Sea in the West and three hill ranges along its Eastern border. While the Northern part of the State is mostly arid and semiarid, the Southern part is humid to sub-humid. Narmada district is situated in the southern part of Gujarat State. The district lies between north latitudes 21°23‟ and 22°05‟ and east longitudes 73°17‟ and 73°59‟. Narmada district is bounded in the North by Vadodara district, in the south by Surat district, in the west by Bharuch district and in east by Maharashtra State.Rajpipla Taluka lies between Latitude and Longitude 21.8734 and 73.5023 respectively. Bharuch district is located in the Sourthern part of Gujarat and is bounded by Baroda and Anand District on the North, Narmada District on the East. The Eastern strip of the district is a hilly and forest area. The climate of the area is characterized by a hot and dry summer from March to May, a south-west monsoon or rainy season from June to September, a pleasant post-monsoon or retreating monsoon from October to November and a cool winter from December to February. May is the warmest month of the year while January is the coldest month of the year. Therefore, climatologically, four seasons viz. summer (pre-monsoon), monsoon, post-monsoon and winter could be deciphered comprising the following months:

Season Period

Summer March to May Monsoon June to September

Post monsoon October to November Winter December to February

Air Pollutants upon discharge to atmosphere pass through a number of mechanisms, which include diffusion and transportation leading to dispersion. These mechanisms are governed by the local atmospheric conditions. All these result in the necessity to collect the meteorological parameters like ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction, and other weather conditions (relative humidity,


Page 100

atmospheric pressure etc.), which will be ultimately used for the prediction of the ground level concentrations of the air pollutants through mathematical modeling. The primary data from the site & secondary data from Cotton Research Station, Maktapur, Bharuch for reference were studied for data proofing. A sophisticated on-site meteorological observatory was established opposite main gate of existing sugar

mill and operated continuously for three months‟ period (October 17 to December 17). The observatory

was located about 10 m above the ground level and ensured to free from any obstruction to wind.

Besides, this location was found to be most suitable one being close to the project site. The summary of

the on-site data generated in respect of the above parameters for the period mentioned above are

presented in Table-3.7.Wind rose diagram as per the data from IMD Atlas is given in figure 3.11 & Site

specific wind rose diagram is shown in figure 3.12. The meteorological data for various parameters from both primary & secondary sources is attached as Annexure - 12.

3.11.1.3 Temperature

Temperature is important in all fields of natual science, including physics, geology, chemistry,

atmospheric science, medicine and biology as well as most aspects of daily life. A temperature is an

objectivecomparative measure of hot or cold.

Methodology

Temperature was measured by using Thermometer.

Figure 3.10: Graphical representation of Temperature observed in Study period (Oct. 2017 to Dec. 2017)

Observations: - The temperature data collected at the site is presented as monthly maximum and minimum values. The maximum temperature is observed at 37.41°C in the month of October and the minimum temperature at 8.9°C is observed in the month of December. It is found that moderate temperature is at project site. 3.11.1.4 Relative humidity

Relative humidity is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the same temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest.

Page 101

Methodology A hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the moisture content in the atmosphere. Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantity such as temperature, pressure, mass or a mechanical or electrical change in a substance as moisture is absorbed. By calibration and calculation, these measured quantities can lead to a measurement of humidity

Figure 3.11: Graphical representation of Relative Humidity observed in Study period (Oct. 2017 to Dec. 2017)

Observations: -

Minimum and maximum values of relative humidity have been recorded. The maximum Relative Humidity is 76.12 %, observed in the month of November. The minimum Relative Humidity is 11.38 %, observed in the month of October. During the study period, the air is observed to be moderately humid to dry. 3.11.1.5 Rainfall

Rain, also known as precipitation, involves the condensation of water in the air. When the air can longer hold the weight of the water it falls to the earth in the form of hail, rain, snow or sleet. Rain is part of the never-ending water cycle, where fallen rain eventually evaporates, becomes stored by clouds and falls to the earth again to repeat the process. The advantages seen in rainfall contribute to the earth's weather systems, seasons and the survival of all plant and animal life. The driest month is February, with 0 mm of rain. In July, the precipitation reaches its peak. Main rivers in Narmada District are Narmada, Karjan. The rivers flow throughout the year.

Methodology

A rain gauge (also known as a udometer, pluviometer, or an ombrometer) is a type of instrument used by meteorologists and hydrologists to gather and measure the amount of liquid precipitation over a set period of time. According to rainfall data for the year of 2017 collected at site, it is observed that rainfall at site during study period was 35.7mm.

3.11.2 Ambient Air Quality

The ambient air quality with respect to the study area of 10 km radius around the contract area forms the baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the region are dust rising from unpaved roads, domestic fuel burning, vehicular traffic, agricultural activities, other industries, etc. The prime objective of baseline air quality monitoring is to assess existing air quality of the area. This will also be useful in assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the operations. The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through scientifically designed ambient air quality network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has been based on the following considerations:

Meteorological conditions. Topography of the study area. Likely impact area.


Page 104

3.11.2.1 Methodology

The air quality monitoring and survey was done for Plant during Winter Season (October, 2017 to December, 2017) within 10 km radius study area as per the Terms of Reference (ToR) issued by MoEFCC, New Delhi dated 26th October, 2017. The samples were collected for the following air quality determinants: Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) Carbon Monoxide (CO) The sources of air pollution in the region are dust rising from unpaved roads, domestic fuel burning, vehicular traffic, agricultural activities, emission from other industries, etc. Analytical methods prescribed by CPCB & approved Indian Standard methods were used for carrying out air quality monitoring.

3.11.2.2 Sampling Schedule

The sampling was done continuously for 24 hours for CO, SO2, NOx, PM10 and PM2.5 with a frequency of twice a week for three months (24 observations for one location). 3.11.2.3 Sampling Locations

Sampling locations were selected for AAQ Monitoring keeping in view the dominant wind direction prevailing in the area during the study period. It can be observed from the wind rose diagram (Figure - 3.14) that the dominant wind direction during the study period was from NE direction. Villages/locations have been selected in the downwind direction as well as in the upwind direction for AAQ monitoring from the plant site. Monitoring stations selected for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring during the study period are given in Table - 3.8 and shown in Figure - 3.15.

3.11.2.6 Conclusion

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that the concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 for all the 8 AAQM stations were found between 40.90 to 81.2 μg/m3 and 15.54 to 33.97 μg/m3. The concentrations of SO2 and NOx were found to be in range of 5.03 to 10.56 μg/m3 and 8.82 to 19.08 μg/m3 respectively. The concentrations of CO are in range of 0.205to 0.55 mg/m3. The concentration of NH3, Pb, O3, C6H6, As, Ni, Benzopyrene, VOC is <20 µg/m

well within the prescribed limits of GPCB & NAAQS. The pollutant concentration in the area is primarily guided by the industrial activities, vehicular movements, commercial activities and dust due to blowing of wind. Higher concentrations of PM at village Amletha is due to dense population and commercial activities in the area. 3.12 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication, causes annoyance, distracts from work, and disturbs sleep, thus deteriorating quality of human environment. Noise Pollution survey has therefore been carried out. Noise levels were measured in residential areas and other settlements located within 10 km radius around the site.

3.12.1 Source of Noise There are several sources of noise in the 10 km radius of study area, which contributes to the local noise level of the area. Ambient noise sources in the vicinity of the project include the noise from traffic on road, human activities in villages and agricultural fields.

3.12.2 Ambient Noise Level In order to know the baseline noise levels, in and around the plant site, noise levels were measured using Sound Level Meter at site and villages in the study area. The noise analysis within the study area was recorded using Lutron SL 4001 sound level meter.

3.12.3 Sampling Schedule The sampling was done during day time and night time once in the study period.

3.12.4 Sampling Locations Locations / stations selected for noise level monitoring are given in Table - 3.11 and shown in Figure - 3.17.

3.12.6 Conclusion

Ambient noise levels were measured at 8 locations around the plant site. Noise level varies from 36.4to 69.4 Leq dB (A) during day time and from 33.8 to 60.3Leq dB (A) during night time. From the above study, it can be concluded that the resultant noise levels in the study area are within the limits as prescribed by the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000. Noise level at site is found to be at higher side due to industrial activities & vehicular movement in the area. 3.13 WATER ENVIRONMENT 3.13.1 Surface water quality of nearby River and other surface drains The Quality of Surface water was studied by collecting 8 water samples. Sampling points were decided using google image and field survey. Standard procedures were followed for the sampling and analysis of physico–chemical parameters of water. Following surface water bodies are present within 10 km radius of the plant site: Narmada River (7.50 Km in North Direction) Karjan River (Around 10 km in East direction) Narmada River flowing along Northern periphery of project site is a perennial river. Location details are shown in Table 3.14, Location map is shown in Figure - 3.19 & Analysis results of the same are given in Table - 3.15.
