1. ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETER MONITORING STUDY AREA/ STUDY PERIOD

The study area for detailed studies is an area within a radius of 10 Kms. Ambient air quality monitoring were carried out at 06 locations within the study area of 5 km aerial coverage from project site as the Center. The ground water monitoring, noise level monitoring, Soil analysis were carried out at 06 location for once in the study period. The monitoring activities were carried out at 06 sampling sites for the Month of January 2015 – April 2015.

2. AIR ENVIRONMENT

Baseline study indicates that AAQ in the surrounding study area with respect to PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOX, and VOC are well within the stipulated permissible limits as prescribed by the latest National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standards for the respective industrial residential rural areas.

Maximum evaluated 24 hourly GLC from the ISCST‐3, when added to the 98‐percentile concentration of each parameter monitored during January 2015 – April 2015 season of the ambient air it indicates that due to establishment of proposed expansion project of M/s. Airolam Ltd.., ambient air quality of the surrounding study area will be well within the NAAQ standards for the respective Industrial, residential rural areas. Company will use wood and Lignite as a fuel. There will be no process gas emission from the existing as well as proposed manufacturing activity.

It is concluded that there will be no long term impacts on the surrounding ambient air environment.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Existing Bore well is a main source of water for the project. Base line data reveal that, the ground water quality is meeting with Drinking Water standards. The company proposes to use existing Bore well as source of water for both domestic as well as Industrial purpose. After expansion total water consumption will be 57.5 KL/Day. From that the Domestic water consumption will be 6.0 KL/Day. The Industrial water consumption will be 51.5 KL/Day. After expansion total wastewater generation will be 13.5 KL/Day. From that 5.0 KL/Day Domestic wastewater will go to soak pit via septic tank. The Industrial wastewater generated 8.5 KL/Day will be treated in Effluent treatment plant having primary treatment unit. Treated effluent will be evaporated in Thermic Fluid Operated Evaporator. It is concluded that due to zero discharge by Evaporation of Industrial Effluent, there will be no significant impacts on the surrounding water environment.



vi Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

4. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Base line data indicates that noise levels in the ambient air environment are within the prescribed norms. The industry will provide adequate noise control measures such as mufflers & silencers at the air inlet/outlet, anti vibration pad for equipment with have extreme vibration etc. Ear plugs & ear muffs will be provided to the workers where noise level will remain extremely high. Thus, there will be short term, reversible impact on the noise environment due to the proposed expansion project.

5. LAND ENVIRONMENT

Air pollution, water pollution and solid waste pollute soil and causes direct/indirect effect on soil. Since all necessary air pollution control measures have been provided and based on the results of the dispersion model for the ground level concentration of various pollutants after the commissioning of the proposed expansion Project, there will not be any adverse impact of air pollution on soil. Industrial effluent will be treated into ETP and finally treated effluent will be evaporated in Thermic Fluid Operated Evaporator. Therefore no impact on soil environment is anticipated. All necessary control measures will be provided for handling, storage and safe disposal of solid/hazardous waste, which will be generated from the proposed expansion project. Thus, there will not be any significant impact of solid waste on the soil Environment.

6. ECOLOGY

Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem due to the operation of plant occur mainly from air emissions. Air pollutants can impact adversely on the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and may include injurious effects when concentration of these pollutants exceed from permissible limit. Since the proposed expansion activity will be carried out in existing unit, so, there will be no adverse impact on the ecological environment of the study area. The total plot area is 28689.46 Sq. meter. From that existing constructed area is ~ 1500 Sq. meter. For proposed expansion, ~ 5140 Sq. meter will be used for Installation of plant machineries, storage of raw material and Products. So, after expansion remaining open area will be 10,049.46 Sq. meters. From that 8000 Sq. meter area is used for plantation & Gardening purpose.



vii Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

The company will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier for bring down the fugitive emission and also stop carryover of dust along with wind current.

7. SOCIO‐ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The proposed expansion project will generate direct employment for 22 persons. The indirect employment will also be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment for many people. Thus, the proposed expansion project will have long term‐ irreversible positive impact on the employment pattern of the study area.

CONCLUSION The study brings out the followings: • The proposed expansion project will have easy access to basic infrastructure

facilities, availability of land, fuel, transportation network, power availability, environmental compatibility and well developed pollution control systems.

• Environmental Impact Assessment shows that proposed expansion project

activity will not have any significant impact on existing ambient air quality, ground water quality and noise level.

• Risk to flora, fauna and soil is negligible due to location of project activity and

proposed effective environmental management plan for management and handling of air pollution, hazardous wastes and wastewater.

• Additional greenbelt on available open land area will be further more developed

within the plant premises; there will be positive impact on the ecological environment of the study area.

• There will be Socio‐economic benefits due to creation of direct/indirect

employment. Thus, it is concluded that proposed expansion project of M/s. Airolam Ltd. Will have negligible impact on environment and will become beneficial to the local people after implementation of the mitigation measures and environmental management plan.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 PREAMBLE

M/s. Airolam Ltd. has proposed to expand their manufacturing of chemical unit at Survey No.:355, Village: Dalpur, Nananpur Road, Taluka: Prantij, District: Sabarkantha, Gujarat. In existing unit they are manufacturing Laminated Sheets @ 2,50, 000 Sheets/M, PF Resin @ 240 MT /M & MF Resin @ 80 MT /M. Now they are planning to manufacture resins: Phenol formaldehyde resin from 240 MT /M to 750 MT/M and Melamine Formaldehyde Resin from 80 MT /M to 250 MT/M. The manufacturing of organic chemical falls under Category “A” of EIA Notification issued in September – 2006. For this the unit needs Environmental clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forest, New Delhi.

The EIA studies are carried out as a part of process to obtain Environmental Clearance Certificate for the proposed expansion in existing project. Unit believes in sustainable development and equally concern about environment preservation and pollution control and proposes to provide adequate Environmental Management System to meet desired norms prescribed by statutory authority.

In order to assess the Environmental Impacts of the proposed expansion in existing project, M/s. Airolam Ltd. Entrusted Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd, Ahmedabad (NABET Accredited) to undertake Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Study for various components of the Environment viz., Air, Water, Noise, Land and Socio-economics. This Report presents base line data collected for January - February – March – April 2015 for Air, Water, Noise, Land etc., for identification and assessment of the impacts.

1.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT

Environment Impact Assessment or EIA is a study to predict the effect of a proposed projection or its expansion activity on the environment. It is a management tool to facilitate appropriate decision; an EIA compares various alternatives for a project and seeks to identify the one, which represents the best combination of economic and environmental costs and benefits.

It helps to identify possible environmental effects of the proposed expansion in existing project, proposes measures to mitigate adverse effects and predicts whether there will be significant adverse environmental effects, even after the mitigation is implemented. By considering environmental effects and mitigation early in the project planning cycle, environmental assessment has many benefits, such as protection of environment, optimum utilization of resources and saves overall time and cost of the project.

On 27th January 1994, the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India, under the Environmental (Protection) Act 1986, promulgated EIA Notification making Environmental Clearance (EC) mandatory for expansion or modernization of any activity or for setting up new projects listed in Schedule of the notification and its subsequent amendments.

On 14th September 2006, a new legislation was passed, which has objectives such as “To formulate a transparent, decentralized and efficient regulatory mechanism; to incorporate necessary environmental safeguards at planning stage; to involve stakeholders in the public consultation process and to identify developmental projects based on impact potential instead of the investment criteria”

The developmental activities requiring Environmental Clearance (EC) are:

o All new projects/activities listed in Schedule;

o Expansion and modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the Schedule to this Notification with addition of capacity beyond the limits specified for the concerned sector, that is, projects or activities which cross the threshold limits given in the Schedule, after expansion or modernization;

2.31 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

The development of Green Belt is an important aspect for any plant because:

• It acts as a 'Heat Sink'

• It improves the Ambient Air Quality by controlling SPM in air

• It helps in noise abatement for the surrounding area

• It helps in settlement of new birds and insects within itself and

• It increases the aesthetic value of Site.

The total plot area is 28689.46 Sq. meter. From that they had done gardening and plantation for 8000 Sq. Meter. For proposed expansion, they will do plantation and gardening for additional 500 Sq. meter area. The program will consist of the following elements: • Maintenance of greenbelt and vegetative zones within the plant where

possible. • Plantation of trees and vegetation around the plant. • Maintenance of greenbelt on the both sides of nearby roads. • To provide tree guards to the local villagers. • We will develop ~ 200 Trees in and around our premises. They will develop 50 Trees for 1st year, 50 Trees for 2nd Year, 100 Trees for 3rd Year. The tree species selected for the plantation will be pollutant tolerant, fast growing, wing firm, deep rooted, and ever green. The company will select pollutant tolerant plant species. They will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier and bring down the fugitive emission and stop carryover of dust along with wind current.




2.32 SCHEME FOR RAIN WATER HARVESTING The source of water for the project isground water. The unit has also proposed to design & implement rain waterharvesting scheme within premises. The parameter considered for designing the Rain waterharvesting is as follows:

• The average rainfall of the area considered for the design is 800 mm/year.

• The paved area available in front. • The amount of watercollected from the run off. • The roof top area available. • The amount of water collected from the roof top. • Considering onehour of peak rainfall. • Total rain water to be collected.

Hence rain waterharvesting pit will be made to collect the rain water from roof top and paved area based on the above data consideration. � The Total land area is 28689.46 Sq.Meter. � The Average rain fall is 800 mm = 0.8 m � Water recharge = Area x Avg. Rain fall x Efficiency = 28689.46 m2x 0.8 m x 0.7 = 16066.09m3

The Ambient Air Quality status, with respect to the identified air pollutants, has been studied atseven locations major locations. This has been done through Air Quality surveillance program and based on TOR.

The back-ground air quality for PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), CO, HC including VOCs was monitored. The monitoring for these parameters has been done at sites located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone, in and around the existing project site. We had considered minimum one monitoring station in the upwind direction and minimum one monitoring station in the pre dominant downwind direction ata location where maximum ground level concentration is likely to occur.

3.4.1.1 THE LOCATION OF AAQ STATIONS

The locations of the AAQ stations are based on prevailing meteorology, pollution source and available infrastructure facilities. One station has been particulary set-up in down wind direction.



69

Thus, monitoring has been done at six sampling stations located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone in and around the existing project site.

The locations map of the AAQ monitoring station is shown in Figure No. 3.1 and tabulated in Table No. 3.2.

3.11 TYPE OF SOILS

From the Environmental point of view, soil can be considered as an important component of the ecosystem as urbanization, Industrialization etc., have a direct bearing on the land surface, which in turn is intimately linked to the soil of the region concerned.

Hence knowledge of soil characteristics, erosion aspects, soil fertility etc., is vital for planning and implementation of afforestation / green belt development measures as a part of maintaining ecological balance of the region. Location and operation of industries, generation and dumping of wastes materials / solid wastes etc. could directly or indirectly affect the soil quality of the surrounding area. Hence the study of soil characteristics in and around the proposed planned site becomes a necessary part of environmental impact assessment study. The sub soil condition below the existing ground level is almost uniform in nature. Sub soil is composed of Clay mixed with little fine grained silty sand, moram and Kankar with low resistivity due to clay and soil moisture. The area is covered with recent to sub recent alluvial deposits comprising of brownish clay mixed with little fine grained sand, silty sand. The Soil below ground level consist of top silty low plastic soil layer having no swelling nature. Blockish brown to yellowish brown clayey silt or sand silt layer extends to the depth of 2 to 3 mts.

3.11.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS BASE LINE DATA

The soil samples were collected from different places in the study area. The soil samples are taken from six villages.

At each sampling site, the samples were collected at random at a depth of 15 cms and mixed together to form a composite sample. Large stones, gravels and plant roots were removed from soil. The soil was then crushed and water suspension was prepared. The supernatant liquid was then subjected to Physico-Chemical analysis. Standard Procedures were followed for analysis. The results of soil analysis are tabulated in Table No. 3.10.

3.12 LAND USE PATTERN

Remote Sensing is a process of identification and demarcation of various

earths’ objects from a distance without directly coming into contact with them.

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. Thus

the satellite remote sensing with its capability of repetitive coverage, multi-

spectral imaging, synoptic view and low cost can play an important role in the

delineation of various landuselandcover 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 landuse/landcover 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 of part of land cover/use distribution.

Obtained results were compared, visualized and analyzed, in Geographic

Information System.

3.13 HYDROGEOLOGY

Hydrology is the science that deals with the depletion and replenishment of water resources. It deals with surface as well as ground water. The water below the water table is known as ground water and water above the water table is known as soil moisture. The water table map and water quality map of study area is attached as a Figure No. 3.7 & 3.8

The litho logical logs of exploratory bore holes, electrical logging results by govt. agencies in and around Prantij Taluka have been studied to understand the subsurface geology and the aquifer system. These bore holes have penetrated the thick sequence of post Miocene sediments down to 80 + m depth. The hydro geological cross sections have been prepared by CGWB to study the subsurface geology and aquifer system in the area. It is reveals that the existence of multilayered aquifer system, within a depth of 80 + m bgl. In general three distances confined aquifer with thickness varies from 12 to 30 m can be identified. TheHatmati River is passing through a study area of 5 km. Ground water is the main source of water in the study area. Ground water is utilized for almost all uses in the area.

3.14 ECOLOGY

Collection of comprehensive baseline information on flora and fauna is a

prerequisite for assessment of impacts of any developmental activitiesThe

biological environment is an important component of the environment of

any area. It covers flora & fauna in the region, details of forests and wildlife

sanctuaries in the region, with list of endangered species. These

components are addressed in details in the following sections:

Flora and fauna are important components of the environment. They are

organized into natural communities with natural dependencies among their

members and show various responses and sensitivities to anthropogenic

activities. Flora and fauna describes information on various species of

trees, plants, shrubs, crops and natural vegetation, animal, birds etc. and

endangered species.

. Though, the need of collecting ecological data is many fold more. In the

context of present study, where the time was a serious constraint for

seasonal data collection on different ecological parameters, the focus was,

therefore, on to collect data on current status of plants and animals as

baseline information for future comparisons. Following methodology was

adopted in order to collect scientific data.

We attempted to create baseline information through 1) review of literature,

2) consultation and 2) first hand data collection through field surveys.

Field Surveys

In order to get the first hand information on the project and surrounding

ecological status, field surveys were conducted. The field surveys were

conducted to assess baseline status of flora and fauna between January –

February – March – April 2015.




105

Sampling Strategy

For assessment of flora and fauna, study team randomly sampled in 10.0

km radius of the project site. We collected the data on flora and fauna in

each sample plot of 10X10 mtr quadrate. Total 30 quadrates were laid in

the study area in order to rapidly study the fauna and flora of the region.

No national paik / Wildlife Sanctuary / Reserve Forest cover was found in

05 Km radius of the project area. A detailed survey report with the

methodology and study is as given in the following section.

The details of some major landuses are described below.

Some of the flora and fauna found in Sabarkantha District is given in the Table No. 3.14. There are no records of any rare or endangered flora as well as fauna recorded in the study area.

CHAPTER 4

ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an activity or an attempt to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the expansion in existing project on the surrounding environment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY INCLUDES: • Identification of all the probable impacts (be it positive or negative) of the various

activities involved in the completion of the project. • Classification of the probable impacts i.e. positive or negative, reversible or

irreversible, short term or long term.

• Evaluation of the probable impacts i.e. qualitative and quantitative assessment of the likely impacts.

• Communication to the general public, interested parties, controlling authorities

(Government or Municipality) through a Public Hearing process, revealing all the probable impacts, which are likely to occur due to the expansion in existing project, on the environment. It also includes the mitigation measures of those impacts, which are inevitable. This chapter presents the identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts with mitigation measures of the expansion in existing project of M/s. Airolam Ltd. effected in the baseline environmental status.

4.1 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION

Considering that identification of significant environmental impact is essential in the preparation of EIA report, an attempt has been made here through the use of “Activity Effect” Matrix .

4.1.1 IDENTIFICATION MATRIX

The impact identification matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1 . For simplicity the entire project has been divided into two phases:

1. Construction Phase

2. Operation Phase




130

Various activities belonging to each phase have been grouped separately and arranged in Columns. The environmental Factor or Parameter, which are anticipated to be impacted, has been arranged in Rows. A preliminary scrutiny has been done and the cells, which fall at the junction of the ‘Activity’ and ‘Factor’, that have possible interaction with each other, have been ‘marked’.

The matrix thus establishes the possible ‘cause-effect’ relationship and identifies the environmental factors likely to be impacted and activities responsible for the same. The impact identified may be positive and negative, short term and long term, reversible and irreversible, minor and major. This determination will be done at prediction stage.

4.1.1.1 Construction Phase

Unit needs to do construction activity for installation of additional plant machineries. The various activities involved in construction phase of a proposed expansionproject are listed below:

• Construction / foundation. • Erection/Installations of equipment and machinery • Transportation • Material handling • Employment of labour • Green belt development

4.1.1.2 Operational Phase

The activities involved in the operation phase of the expansion in existing project are listed below: • Raw material handling and Storage • Product Manufacturing • Utility Consumption • Product Handling & Storage • Effluent Generation • Gaseous Emissions • Hazardous Waste Generation • Employment • Green belt development

4.2 IMPACT PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT WITH MITIGATIVE MEASURES:

This section is devoted to the prediction and assessment of impacts, which are the most important components of EIA. Such predictions are superimposed over the base-line status of the environmental quality to derive the ultimate environmental scenario. Prediction involves determination of the nature and extent of the probable impacts due to the expansion in existingproject. Here it is determined, whether the likely environmental impacts are: 1. Positive or Negative 2. Long term or Short term Prediction of impacts during the construction and operational phase is as Shown in Table No 4.2. Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts under this step are quantitatively and qualitatively assessed. Quantitative assessment with the help of a mathematical model has been done wherever possible. In other cases, the impact assessment has been qualitative which is based on available scientific knowledge and judgment. The mathematical model used for prediction in the present study includes “Industrial Source Complex Short Term Dispersion” model for ambient air quality. For other cases i.e. Water, Noise, Land/Soil, Ecology, Socioeconomic etc., the available scientific knowledge and judgments have been used.

4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.3.1 Construction Phase

The impacts during construction phase will be short-term impacts as they will be limited to the period of construction. Unit has to do Construction activity / foundation work for installation of additional plant machineries. These activities may result in temporary increase in SPM levels, primarily, in the working environment. Following mitigative measures during construction phase have been planned

Impacts Mitigation Measures

Dust • Green belt development and water sprinkling will be carried out during the construction phase for suppression of dust.

Air Pollution • Vehicles and machinery will be regularly maintained so that ambient air quality confirms to National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Hence, the impacts on ambient air quality during construction phase will be marginal temporarily and reversible in nature (for short duration) and restricted to small plant area only.

4.3.2Operation Phase

Generally, the operational activities are expected to have long-term negligible impacts on the air quality. The operational activity from expansion in existing project is expected to have long term impact on the air quality. Major sources of air pollutants are flue gas stack.

Generally, the operational activities are expected to have long-term impacts on the air quality. Major source of air pollutant is flue gases generated from theSteam Boiler and Thermic Fluid heater. There will be no process gas emission from the unit.

All the suitable precautionary measures will be taken for the control of fugitive emissions.



136

Based on the above stated facts, predictions related to the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have taken into account the flue gas emissions from the SteamBoiler and Thermic Fluid heater stack. The concentration of pollutants at the ground level has been computed using computer model to assess the impact of source emissions from the Existing stack which is already installed. Air quality impact assessment is an important study; Mathematical modeling is an established and accepted technique to predict the air quality.

In this study, impact on environment due to the expansion in existing plant has been assessed with the help of Mathematical modeling following the Central Pollution Control Boards Guidelines. The mathematical model used for conducting the study is the latest version of Industrial Source Complex. Model developed by the Environment Protection Agency of United States (ISC-3, 1996), which is entirely in line with the requirements of Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi. A mathematical model developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is used for calculating GLCs. This is based, on the original Gaussian Plume Model equation but is defined in terms related to atmospheric phenomenon. The model used for assessment is an Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST–3) Dispersion Model. The average and maximum Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have been determined for SPM, SO2 and NOx. The average 24hrs. concentrations have been determined in polar grid of 100 up to 3600 for a distance of 500m, 1000 m, 2000 m, 3000m, 5000m, 7000m, and 10000 m. has been calculated based on the micro-meteorological data collected from the meteorological station kept at the project site. The Dispersion modeling assumptions are considered as follows:

1. The receptor locations for 36 wind directions starting with 10 degrees

and incrementing with 10 degrees for radial distances viz. 50m, 100m, 200m, 300m, 500m, 1000m, 2000m, 3000m and 5000m has been taken for the Air Quality Modelling.

2. The impacts of the pollutants were identified up to 5000 meters. 3. The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT. 4. Stability Class was evaluated based on Temperature Profile and Cloud

Cover. 5. The mathematical equations used for the dispersion modelling

assumes that the earth surface acts as a perfect reflector of plume and physic-chemical process, such as dry and wet deposition, and chemical transformation of pollutants are negligible.

6. The micro-meteorological data viz. Temperature, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and Cloud Cover has been collected from the meteorological station kept at the project site.



137

4.3.3 MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR POLLUTANTS DISPERSION

In the present case ISC-3 (Industrial Source Complex) model has been used to assess the air impacts. This ISC model for stack uses the steady state Gaussian plume equation for a continuous elevated source. The features of this model are:

♦ Simulates dispersion from single/multi/area/line/volume sources.

♦ Allows calculations to be made at a user specified regular rectangular

grids.

♦ Provides estimates of concentrations for any averaging time period for the entire period of input meteorology.

♦ Allows calculations to be underwriters for source group as selected by the uses.

♦ Uses the Briggs dispersion curves as selected by the user, to derive the plume spread parameters.

♦ Adjust dispersion curves to account for user specified information on aerodynamic roughness.

♦ Adjust for wind speed variation with height, using user specified default urban/rural power. Co-efficient.

♦ Simulâtes dispersion frombuoyant non buoyant Point sources, non buoyant area, non buoyant volume sources and non buoyant line sources.

♦ User Brigg’s plume rise algorithm to calculate plume height.

For a steady-state Gaussian plume, the hourly concentration at downwind distance x (meters) and crosswind distance y (meters) is given by:



138

QKVD X (x,y,z) = ------------------ exp [-0.5 (y/2 σσσσy)2 ] ...................Equation 1.1 2 p u σσσσyσσσσz

Where: X = Concentration of pollutant at a point (x, y); (g/m3) Q = Source strength (Pollutant Release Rate); (g/s) u = Horizontal wind speed at the source level; (m/s) σy&σz = Vertical & Horizontal crosswind dispersion coefficients

respectively, which are a function of downwind distance 'x' and atmospheric stability; (m)

K = a scaling coefficient to convert calculated concentrations to desired units (default value of 1 x 106 for Q in g/sec and concentration in µg/m3)

V = Vertical Term, which includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation, plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of particulate (with diameter greater than 0.1 microns)

D = Decay Term

The ISC model uses either a Polar or a Cartesian receptor network. In this case Polar receptor network has been used.

4.3.4 VERTICAL TERM

The Vertical of the Gaussian plume. It includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation, plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of particulates. In addition to the plume height, receptor height and mixing height, the computation of the Vertical Term requires the vertical dispersion parameter (σz). The Vertical Term without Dry Deposition In general, the effects on ambient concentrations of gravitational settling and dry deposition can be neglected for gaseous pollutants and small particulates (less than about 0.1 microns in diameter). The Vertical Term without deposition effects is then given by:

V = exp[ -0.5((z r- he)/σσσσz )2 ] + exp [-0.5((z r+ he)/σσσσz )2 ] +

ΣΣΣΣ∞∞∞∞i = 1 { exp[-0.5(H 1 / σσσσz )2 ] + exp[ -0.5(H 2 / σσσσz )2 ] +

exp[ -0.5(H 3 / σσσσz )2 ] + exp [-0.5(H 4 / σσσσz )2 ] }..................Equation 1-2



139

where: he = hs+ δh hs = stack height (mt) δh = Plume rise (mt) zr = receptor height above ground (flagpole) (mt) zi = mixing height (mt) H1 = zr - (2izi - he ) H2 = zr + (2izi - he ) H3 = zr - (2izi + he ) H4 = zr + (2izi + he )

The infinite series term in Equation 1- accounts for the effects of the restriction on vertical plume growth at the top of the mixing layer. The method of image sources is used to account for multiple reflections of the plume from the ground surface and at the top of the mixed layer. It should be noted that, if the effective stack height he, exceeds the mixing height, zi, the plume is assumed to fully penetrate the elevated inversion and the ground-level concentration is set equal to zero.

Equation 1-2 assumes that the mixing height in rural and urban areas is known for all stability categories. The meteorological preprocessor program uses mixing heights derived from twice-daily mixing heights calculated using the Holzworth procedures. The ISC models currently assume unlimited vertical mixing under stable conditions, and therefore delete the infinite series term in Equation 1-2 for the E and F stability categories.

The Vertical Term defined by Equation1-2 changes the form of the vertical concentration distribution from Guassian to rectangular (i.e., a uniform concentration within the surface mixing layer) at long downwind distances. Consequently, in order to reduce computational time without a loss of accuracy, Equation 1-2 is changed to the form: V = √√√√ 2ππππσσσσz /zi ...................................................Equation 1- 3 at downwind distances where the σz/zi ratio is greater than or equal to 1.6. The meteorological preprocessor program, RAMMET, used by the ISC Short Term model uses an interpolation scheme to assign hourly rural and urban mixing heights on the basis of the early morning and afternoon mixing heights calculated using the Holzworth procedures. The interpolation procedures are functions of the stability category for the hour before sunrise. Because of the uncertainties about the applicability of Holzworth mixing heights during periods of E and F stability, the ISC models ignore the interpolated mixing heights for E and F stability, and treat such cases as having unlimited vertical mixing.



140

4.3.5 THE DECAY TERN (D)

The Decay Term in Equation 1-1 is a simple method of accounting for pollutant removal by physical or chemical processes. It is of the form: D = exp(- ΨΨΨΨ x/u s) for ΨΨΨΨ> 0.........................................Equatio n 1-4 or = 1 for Ψ = 0 where: Ψ = the decay coefficient (sec-1) ( a value of zero means decay is not

considered) x = downwind distance (m) For example, if T1/2 is the pollutant half life in seconds, the user can obtain Ψ from the relationship: ΨΨΨΨ = 0.693/T1/2...............................................................................................Equation 1-5 The default value of Ψ is zero. That is, decay is not considered in the model calculations unless Ψ is specified. However, a decay half life of 4 hours ( Ψ = 0.0000481 sec-1) is automatically assigned for SO2 when modeled in the urban mode.

4.3.6 WIND SPEED AT STACK HEIGHT

The wind power law is used to adjust the observed wind speed, uref, from a reference measurement height, zref, to the stack or release height, hs. The stack height wind speed, us, is used in the Gaussian plume equation (Equation 1-1 ), and in the plume rise formulas. The power law equation is of the form:

us = uref (hs/z ref)p ..................................................Equation 1-6

141

4.3.7 EFFECTIVE STACK HEIGHT

The effective stack, height, he to be used in Gaussian equation is given. He = Hs + Hpr Where, Hpr. = Plume rise due to thermal and momentum factors. He = Effective stack height (m) Hs = Physical stack height (m) In the present case plums rise has been calculated by Brigg’s formula (1975). The details of this equation are given below.

0.05757 TsVs1/3 = ; F ≥ 55 m4/s3...............Equation 1-13 DS 2/3

If Ts> Ta and ∆T > (∆c assumed plume rise is buoyancy dominated and if Ts< Ta or ∆T < (∆T)c plume rise is assumed momentum dominated.

4.3.12 Assessment of Impact on Air Quality

Base line study reveals that the levels of various pollutants like PM, SO2

and NOx etc., in the ambient air of surrounding study area are well within the limits stipulated by National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standard for Residential, Rural and other areas. It can be seen from Table No. 4.7 that the maximum predicted 24 hours GLC(s) of all the pollutants i.e., PM, SO2 and NOx, and its incremental concentrations on baseline value is below the NAAQS. Thus, it can be concluded that, with proposed emissions from the Plant, the Ambient Air Quality within the industrial premises as well as in the surrounding study area will not exceed the NAAQ standards and hence there is no significant adverse impact on Ambient Air Quality.

4.4.1 Construction Phase

Impact on water quality during construction phase / foundation work will be marginal and confined to use of water by workers only.

The sewage generated will be treated in the septic tank & soak pit. Airolam Ltd.will take all reasonable precautions for wastewater seepage. This will prevent soil contamination.

4.4.2 Operation Phase

Water Consumption:

The total fresh water requirement after expansion in existing project will be 57.5 KL/day. The water will be met through the bore well.

Wastewater Generation &Disposal:




• The process effluents transfer to ETP for treatment. • After giving primary treatment in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant the


Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.



156

Impacts Mitigation Measures

Effluent Treatment

� The Industrial wastewater generated 8.5 KL/Day will

be treated in Effluent treatment plant having primary

treatment unit.

� After giving primary treatment in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant the treated effluent @ 8500 Liter/Day will be evaporated in Thermic Fluid operated Evaporator.

Impact on ground water quality:

• Ground water was tested at six different locations in

the study area. The ground water norms were

compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation.

• The primary treated effluent will be evaporated in

Thermic Fluid Evaporator. So, due to proposed

expansion project there will be no any impact on

ground water quality.

4.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT 4.5.1 Construction Phase

There will be slightly increase in noise level during construction phase due to erection and installation of machinery. But it is restricted to construction phase only and it will occur during daytime, when construction activities will be in progress.


As per observations, the Ambient Noise Level is within norms of Industrial Area. With the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, the noise levels at plant boundaries will be well below the limits specified for industrial areas.

The major sources contributing to Noise pollution during the plant operation will be Compressor, Boiler, Pumps, etc. The operation of the equipment will generate noise ranging between 70-80 dB (A). The occasional noise will be attenuated by the development of green belt in and around the industry, which will be taken up right from the construction



157

phase. Also ear protecting devices will be provided for personnel working in high noise generating zone. Thus, there is practically no impact on surrounding environment.

4.6 LAND ENVIRONMENT

4.6.1 Construction Phase

In existing unit no needs to do Excavation for expansion activity. Unit will do only construction activity for foundation work.Hence there will be minor impact on the surrounding soil environment and there will be no change in Land Use Pattern.


Source emission, wastewater and hazardous waste generation from any project activity affects the soil environment.

The impact due to air causes direct/indirect effect on soil. The emissions of SPM during operation will be effectively controlled. There will be practically no effect on the soil quality due to air emissions.

The sewage generated will be gone in the septic tank & soak pit. Airolam Ltd. will take all reasonable precautions for wastewater seepage.

Wastewater generated from the Industrial activity will be treated in primary Effluent Treatment Plant and treated effluent will be evaporated in Thermic Fluid Evaporator to achieve zero discharge.

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2003, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated will be taken for the proposedexpansionproject.

Hence, due to the proposedexpansion project the, land use pattern; land cover and topography of the area will be changed only for the project premises.

4.7 ECOLOGY

4.7.1 Construction Phase Any construction activity brings changes in some components of the local Terrestrial ecosystem. These adverse impacts are restricted to the project Construction site and to some extent it's immediate surroundings.



158


Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem can occur due to operation of the any industrial project mainly from air emissions, liquid effluents as well as hazardous wastes generation, which can interfere with the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and may induce injurious effects when concentrations exceed permissible standards.

The proposed expansionproject will be carried out on land within M/s.Airolam Ltd.without cutting of any trees. The proposed project does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area.

Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated.

Development of additional greenbelt/green area will improve the ecological Environment of the surrounding areas.

4.8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Like any other project, the proposed expansionproject is also expected to have certain positive and negative impacts on socio-economic environment.

4.8.1 Construction Phase Local people involved as contract laborers will have benefits of getting employment. Proposed expansion project will generate temporary employment for personnel during operational phase.

4.8.2. Operation Phase

The proposed expansionproject will generate direct employment for additional to the existing employment for persons. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment. Implementation of this plant will also reduce production loss due to shortage of power. Thus, the expansion project will have significant positive impactson the employment pattern of the study area.



159

4.9 HEALTH AND SAFETY 4.9.1 Construction Phase

Health problems are also likely to be experienced in the area as a result of Immigrant labour being careless about personal hygiene and also mosquito and fly-borne infections usually prevalent in the rural areas. Such Problems will be minimized by provision of adequate sanitary and health services.

4.9.2 Operational Phase

The impact on health and safety hazard is due to Fire. The company will provide sufficient firefighting system. Therefore, no adverse impact is anticipated.




160

CHAPTER 5

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME 5.1 MONITORING OF ENVIRONMENT Based on the findings of the Environmental Impact Assessment study, various mitigation measures have been proposed, which have been detailed out in Environmental Management Plan (EMP). In order to monitor the impacts and efficacy of these plans monitoring of various environmental attributes have been proposed during and after the completion of the management plans. A well defined environmental monitoring programme would be employed with trained and qualified staff of Environmental Management Cell of the proposed expansion project to monitor the environmental attributes of the area with respect to EMP as well as the guidelines of the GPCB/CPCB. Environmental monitoring schedule proposed to be adopted by the project Authorities are as presented in Table 5.1:

monitoring as per Gujarat Factories Rules.

Requirements Plan for Compliance

Gujarat Factories Rules want the occupier of the premises to carry out the required monitoring under Section 7A (2) e and Rule – 12B in Form 37 prescribed therein.

As seen from the foregone discussions it is clear that the airborne contaminants and their concentrations including the composition is likely to vary a lot. Hence, portable sampling equipment capable to sample different contaminants shall have to be procured.

Records for Location of operation, contaminant, sampling instrument, concentration of air borne contamination, method of analysis followed, and the number of workers exposed to the process are supposed to be maintained by the occupier.

The Drager make or similar equipment is best fitted for the purpose and will be arranged for with necessary absorbing media tubes for expected contaminants.




163

CHAPTER 6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 6.1 INTRODUCTION

Any industrial development is associated with certain positive impacts as well as some negative impacts on the environment. However, the negative or adverse impacts cannot possibly rule out scientific development. At the same time, adverse impacts cannot be neglected. An Environmental Management Plan has been formulated for mitigation of the adverse impacts and is based on the present environmental conditions and the environmental impact appraisal. This plan helps in formulating, implementing and in monitoring the environmental parameters during and after commissioning of the project.

The Environmental Management Plan describes, in brief, the management's plan for proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system forair and liquid pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of green belts around the Plant, proper safety of the workers, noise control, fire protection systems and measures. This chapter provides mitigation and control measures to attenuate or eliminate environmental impacts, which are likely to be caused by the proposed expansion of project. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed to mitigate the potential adverse impacts and to strengthen the beneficial environmental impacts as well as to create positive environmental footprints during the construction and operation phases. The institutional capacity of Airolam Ltd. as the owner & facility developer and the reporting requirement to fully implement the mitigation measures have also been described in this chapter. In addition to that during the operation phase, the company will have an additional responsibility to comply with the statutory requirements as per the guidelines of Central/ State Government.




164

6.2 The EMP

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operation (post construction) stages of the project. The plan also includes the actions needed for implementation of these measures. Overall objective of EMP:

• Prevention : Measures aimed at impeding the occurrence of negative

environmental impacts and/or preventing such an occurrence having harmful environmental impacts.

• Preservation : Preventing any future actions that might adversely affect an environmental resource or attribute.

• Minimization : Limiting or reducing the degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts.

The major components of the Environmental Management Plan are: • Mitigation of potentially adverse impacts. • Monitoring during project implementation and operation. • Implementation schedule and environmental cost estimates. • Integration of EMP with project planning, design, construction and operation. The EMP has been designed keeping in view the regulatory and other requirements to ensure the following:

• Minimum disturbance to the native flora and fauna. • Compliance with the air, water, soil and noise quality norms. • Conservation of water to the extent possible. • Encourage the socio-economic development.




165

6.3 OBJECTIVES OF EMP

The main objectives in formulating this environmental management plan are:

� To treat all the pollutants viz., liquid and gaseous which contribute to the degradation of the environment, with appropriate technology.

� To comply with all regulations stipulated by the Central / State Pollution Control Boards related to air emissions and liquid effluents discharges as per air and water pollution control laws

� To handle hazardous wastes as per the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling Rules, 1989 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

� To encourage support and conduct developmental work for the purpose of achieving environmental standards and to improve the methods of environmental management.

� To promote further afforestation in the surrounding areas of the Plant � To create good working conditions (devoid of air and noise pollution) for

employees � To reduce fire and accident hazards. � Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environment management

expenditure. � Dissemination of technological solutions on Commercial basis to interested

parties andContinuous Development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner and better environment.




166

6.4 BRIEF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.4.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE :

Adequate and effective environment protection measures will be planned and designed to minimize the impacts due to activities related to preconstruction (preparatory phase) of the project, machinery installation and commissioning stages and end with the induction of manpower and start up. The impacts during the construction phase on the environment will basically be very insignificant as the project construction area is very small. Only foundation for RCC structure will be made. Ready mix Concrete will be used and therefore no possibility of fugitive emission due to material handling. In view of the above, the following measures are recommended to reduce the impact during this period:

• Due provision of necessary infrastructural services like water and power supply

etc., for the construction area. • All possible care will be taken to reduce the noise level due to construction

activity. As planned, no such noise generating machineries will be used. Also, noise prone activities shall be restricted to the extent possible during night particularly during the period 10 PM to 6 AM in order to have minimum environmental impact.

6.8 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORESTATION

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures whichcontrol the Air Pollution. It also causes aesthetic and climatologically improvements of an area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.

It is a well-established fact that trees and vegetation act as a vast natural sink for the gaseous as well as particulate air pollutants due to enormous surface areaof leaves. Plantation around the air pollution sources controls the air pollution by filtering particulatematter and interacting with gaseous pollutants before it reaches the earth. Tree plantation also acts as buffers and absorbers against accidental release of pollutants.




180

6.9 SELECTION OF TREES

The choice of trees species, suitable for plantation at the Industry Site, hasbeen governed by the following guiding factors:

1. As per guidelines issued by Ministry of Environment & Forests for greenbelt

development. 2. As per the study carried out by ourFAE in Ecological & Biodiversity. 3. The tree must be tolerant to all the pollutants present in the area.

The tree should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the areas, be evergreen, in habitat, having minimum of leaf fall.

4. The tree must be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large and spreading canopy in the primary and secondary attenuation zones.

5. The tree should possess extensive foliar area to provide maximum impinge surface for continued efficient adsorption and absorption of pollutants.

6. The tree should be fast growing and indigenous. 7. The tree should maintainecological, land and hydrological balance of the

region. The total plot area is 28,689.46 Sq. meter. The existing area will be used for Installation of plant machineries, storage of raw material and Products, plantation and others. Companyshall develop an effective green belt within the factory and on periphery of the factory. In addition to this, majority of the vacant land shall be planted with trees, shrubs and grasses. The program will consists of following elements:

• Maintenance of greenbelt and vegetative zones within the plant where

possible. • Plantation of trees and vegetation around the plant. • Maintenance of greenbelt around plant. • Maintenance of greenbelt both side nearby roads. • To provide tree guards to local villagers. • Unit will develop 50 trees for 1st year, 50 trees for 2nd year, and 50 trees for

3rdyear in our premises as well as in the open space of Dalpur Village. The company will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier and bring down the fugitive emission and stop carryover of dust along with wind current.The company will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier and bring down the fugitive emission and stop carryover of dust along with wind current. .

6.11 CONCEPT OF WASTE MINIMIZATION, RECYCLE / REUSE / RECOVER TECHNIQUES, ENERGY CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURC ES CONSERVATION.

WASTE MINIMIZATION, RECYCLE / REUSE / RECOVER TECHN IQUES:

� Unit shallto do moping in their unit instead of washing of water. � Unit should try to minimize the excess raw material in batch, so it will reduces the

unreacted raw material in effluent generation. Ultimately, it will reduce the concentration of effluent.

� We shall provide fix pipeline in their unit to minimize the leakages. ENERGY CONSERVATION: Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency are separate, but related concepts. Energy conservation is achieved when growth of energy consumption is reduced, measured in physical terms. Energy Conservation can, therefore, be the result of several processes or developments, such as productivity increase or technological progress. On the other hand Energy efficiency is achieved when energy intensity in a specific product, process or area of production or consumption is reduced without affecting output, consumption or comfort levels. Promotion of energy efficiency will contribute to energy conservation and is therefore an integral part of energy conservation promotional policies. Energy efficiency is often viewed as a resource option like coal, oil or natural gas. It provides additional economic value by preserving the resource base and reducing pollution. For example, replacing traditional light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) means you will use only 1/4th of the energy to light a room. Pollution levels also reduce by the same amount nature sets some basic limits on how efficiently energy can be used, but in most cases our products and manufacturing processes are still a long way from operating at this theoretical limit. Very simply, energy efficiency means using less energy to perform the same function.

� Inadequate control of steam supply wastes energy. So, we will investigate the possibility of installing automatic controls.

� Monitoring drying operations enables energy consumption to be assessed and possibly reduced. Monitor parameters by us

� Heat losses from dryers by radiation and convection will be minimized. And we will improve the insulation of dryers to save energy costs.

� Routine cleaning and maintenance programme for the combustion system will improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.

� Investigate the possibility of changing any upstream processes in order to decrease the water content before drying operations. Relatively minor modifications of upstream operating procedures may significantly reduce energy costs.

� We will check, if it is possible to use heat recovered from the dryer exhausts in the drying process.




184

Waste Heat Recovery System Understanding the process is essential for development of Waste Heat Recovery system. This can be accomplished by reviewing the process flow sheets, layout diagrams, piping isometrics, electrical and instrumentation cable ducting etc. Detail review of these documents will help us in identifying: a) Sources and uses of waste heat b) Upset conditions occurring in the plant due to heat recovery c) Availability of space d) Any other constraint, such as dew point occurring in an equipments etc. After identifying source of waste heat and the possible use of it, our next step is to select suitable heat recovery system and equipments to recover and utilize the same. Economic Evaluation of Waste Heat Recovery System It is necessary to evaluate the selected waste heat recovery system for our unit on the basis of financial analysis such as investment, depreciation, payback period, rate of return etc. In addition the advice of experienced consultants and suppliers must be obtained for rational decision. Natural Resources Conservation: Renewable energy is energy obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible. Examples of renewable resources include wind power, solar power, geothermal energy, tidal power and hydroelectric power. The most important feature of renewable energy is that it can be harnessed without the release of harmful pollutants. Non-renewable energy is the conventional fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, which are likely to deplete with time.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN OF THE INDUSTRY Risk leads to disasters & disasters have great impact on the prof itability, stabil i ty & reputat ion of an industry. Disaster occurs when a hazard or a threat rises in vulnerable condit ion and the trend ref lects an increase in both. To uphold righteous image of an organization, Disaster Management is of prime importance. For tackling the major consequences inside the port and in the vic inity of port DMP has to be formulated and this planned emergency document is cal led ‘DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN’. Indian industry of late has begun to be aware of the necessity to apply more systematic approaches to safety part icular ly in plant design. Primari ly, safety in the design of plant extends to the applicat ion of various codes of pract ice or design codes, which are based on the wide experience and knowledge of professional experts and specialists in the industry. Such applicat ion is backed by the experience of local plant managers and engineers who have been involved in simi lar plants and who have direct experience in their operation over a number of years. The main objective of evolving this emergency and disaster control plan is to create a procedure and infrastructure based on combined resources of the factory and the outside services with a view to minimize emergencies and disaster. This may arise as a result of usage, handling and storage of certain toxic, corrosive, inf lammable and explosive materials used in the manufacturing process and any other emergencies which may direct ly or indirect ly affect the employees, property and local community.



192

Objectives are further classified as under: • Rescue operation and treatment of persons affected by the emergency. • Safeguard of other persons not affected by the emergency. • Keep the damage to property and environment at a minimum level. • Init ially contain the impact of incident and ult imately bring the incident

under control. • Provide authentic information to outsiders and media. • Rehabil itat ion of affected person. • Preservat ion of relevant records. • Inquiry into the cause of emergency situat ions and then analysis to

prevent recurrence. PURPOSE OF PLAN: • To save lives and injur ies, • To prevent or reduce property losses, • For protection of environment, • For protection of instal lation & restoration of production, • To provide help for quick continuat ion of normal situat ion or operat ion. More specif ically the elements that will form the backbone of the emergency preparedness organization are: o Availabil ity organizat ion and ut i l izat ion of resources for facil ity

emergencies. o Accident evaluation procedures. o The command, coordinat ion and responsible organization structure. o Notif icat ion and communicat ion mechanism. o Training exercises and plans maintenance. Emergencies and disasters can happen at any moment - and, they usually occur without warning. When an emergency strikes, immediate safety and prompt recovery are depends on the exist ing levels of preparedness among workers and management. Emergency incidents that may occur, including • Earthquakes • Fires or Explosions • Hazardous Materials Releases • Extended Power or Uti l i ty Outages • Floods • Mass Casualty Events As discussed in earl ier chapters, emergencies are classif ied as minor or major, according to their severity and potential impact. The Disaster management of any f i rm mainly covers steps l ike PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE and RECOVERY



193

PREPAREDNESS is a f irst step to assemble appropriate human and physical resources before any emergency occurs, So the industry shal l have a designated an “Emergency Coordinator” with the management experience and f inancial authority to deal with the Disaster plan. The person shall arrange related staff safety educat ion and training; Purchase department emergency supplies and equipment and give quick response on occurrence of any emergency- disaster. The company wil l have the fol lowing essentials in an accessible location: • First aid supplies, with instructions • Flashlights/batteries, approved power str ips and extension cords,

emergency power supply • Portable AM/FM radios/batteries • Laboratory spi l l kits • Portable emergency water supply • Eyeglasses, medicat ions and personnel protective measures • Personal’s emergency contact numbers. The company wil l be in direct contact with the offsite Disaster plan of District Disaster Management authori ty. The important telephone numbers including Protective Services i.e Fire stat ion, Hospital, Police department, factory inspector etc. shall be made readily available and in updated forms. A brief onsite emergency plan shal l be readily available to al l.

FIRE PREVENTION The fire accident may take place because of the electrical spark or static electricity. All the precautionary measures will be taken by the industry to prevent fire in any part of the plant as per the followings: • The company will identify the sources of accidents. • Adequate fire extinguishers is provided and additional will be provided as

per requirement. • Mechanical rooms or utility rooms will not be used for storage. • All the chemicals will be stored with recommendation storage and handling

practice. • Storage and process area will be posted with “No Smoking” signs. • All the Personnel Protective equipment will be easily available to all the

workers. • The company will provide firewater reservoir, fixed water monitors/foam

monitor, foam trolley, sand bucket, eye wash shower, flame arrester and fire extinguisher to prevent from any causalities.

LABORATORY SAFETY & PREPAREDNESS The company will maintain clean work environment; post laboratory safety work rules, train all personnel; carry out inventory and label chemicals; not purchasing excess



194

quantities of chemicals; segregates incompatible chemicals; keeps flammables in flammable storage cabinets with copies of Material Safety Data Sheets; installs seismic restraints on chemical storage tanks and reactors and disposed off chemical waste properly. In case of occurrence of disaster, the company gives training to all workers and personnel to react as under: MINOR release in the laboratory. • Follow laboratory eyewash, rinse or shower procedures • Flush affected area continuously for 15 minutes • Vacate persons in immediate area if necessary • Clean spill • Wear protective equipment • Use appropriate kit to contain, neutralize and absorb • Collect, containerize, and label waste MAJOR release in the industry and vicinity area • Report factory name, location, phone number, the material spilled, possible

injuries to concerned department for emergency help and measures. • Assist injured persons. • Isolate contaminated persons and area. • Avoid contamination or chemical exposure further. • Close doors or control access to spill site MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS As part of quality for Hazard Communication Standard, all company is required to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available to al l employees working with hazardous chemicals. The concept is “that employees have both a need and a right to know the hazards and ident it ies of the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to know what protect ive measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurr ing.” Information that can be found in a MSDS includes: • The ident ity of the chemical substance • Physical and chemical characteristics • Physical and health hazards • Primary routes of entry • Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) • Carcinogenic status



195

• Precautions for safe handling and use ( including personal protect ive equipment)

• Spil l response • Emergency and f irst aid procedures • Date of the MSDS • Although not required, it is highly recommended for the company to

maintain a f i le of MSDS sheets for al l of the chemicals used in lab/work area. A central f i le is maintained at the off ice.

7.3 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Operational phase of the expansion in exist ing unit cover the ent ire l i fe span of the project. The proposed expansion project wil l generate direct employment for local persons. The indirect employment wil l also be generated by way of transportat ion, shopkeepers and other casual employment for many people.

Local people wil l be given training and preference for almost al l the jobs in the plant, direct as well as indirect. Economic status of the local people wil l be improved due to the increased business opportunit ies, thereby, making a posit ive impact. Educational, medical and housing faci lit ies in the study area wil l considerably improve.

Thus, the proposed expansion project wil l have long term-irreversible posit ive impact on the employment pattern of the study area.

PROJECT BENIFITS

Due to the expansion in existing project, 20 nos. of local peoples and outside peoples will get employment during the construction phase and additional 22 peoples will be employed during the operation phase. Local people will be given preference for almost all the jobs in the Plant, direct as well as indirect. Economic status of the local people will be improved due to the increased business opportunities, thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerably improve. Therefore, social infrastructure of the study area will be improved. The company will also do following developmental activities in the area: The proposed Project does not involve any displacement of villages; however it will lead to development of the region and increase in infrastructure facility. During the operation phases of the project a work force will be needed which will include both skilled and unskilled people. Due to the proposed project direct employment for local employees will be generated. Existing ancillary as well as auxiliary industries would be benefited by way of getting additional work. In addition to direct employment, indirect employment will generate ancillary business to some extent for the local population. Due to the proposed Project, facilities are likely to grow with the development. There is a positive effect due to improved communication and health services, which have lead to economic prosperity, better educational opportunities and access to better health and family welfare facilities. There will be beneficial effect on human settlement due to employment opportunities from the industry. Local quality of life will be improved. This factor combined with all other mitigation measures like proper treatment and disposal of wastewater, hazardous waste and gaseous emission has minimized the adverse impact on ecology and had a beneficial impact on human settlement and employment opportunities. There has been a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic environment. The increasing industrial activity will boost the commercial and economical status of the locality up to some extent.

IMPACTS & CONCLUSION The environmental impacts of projects or actions generally encompass a broad range of impact from Air and Noise pollution to affect on employment and neighborhood as well as on social structure. All of these impacts vary in magnitude as well as in their beneficial or adverse classification. As a result, a natural question arises as to what is the “collective” or “overall” environmental impact of the project or action taken. Is the project beneficial or is it adverse? To answer such a question requires a comparison of these impacts and to some extent subjective evaluation of those impacts which are more important than others. Environment Impact Assessment as detailed in previous chapter can now be concise to impact statement given below.

9.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Meteorological data collected during the study period confirms that climatic Status of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology. Average concentration of ambient air quality parameters such as PM10, PM 2.5, SO2 and NOx in the surrounding study area are well within the permissible limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standards for respective residential rural areas and industrial areas. Evaluated GLCs due to the proposed air pollution load in existing stack. When added to the monitored existing ambient air quality, provides the expected ambient air quality when the fuel qty will not be increased in existing utility and the same indicates that expected AAQ are well within the permissible limit of National Ambient Air Quality Standards for residential rural areas as well as industrial areas. It is concluded from the above that there will be a minor impact on the AAQ of the surrounding environment due to operation of the proposed expansion project.


The total fresh water requirement after expansion in existing project will be 57.5 KL/day. The water will be met through the bore well.

The quality of the water was tested at six locations in the study area. The ground water norms were compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation. The Industry generates process effluent apart from process, washing, Cooling Tower blow down and domestic effluent.



198

Wastewater Generation & Disposal:




• The process effluent transfer to ETP for treatment. • After giving primary treatment in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant the


Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.

9.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Base line data indicates that noise levels in the study area are not on higher sides. Noise level in and around plant site were measured. Measured noise levels within premises indicate that overall noise levels are within the Damage Risk Criteria. The company will provide ear-protecting devices/ earplugs for working personnel exposed to high noise level. It can be concluded that there will be no impact on the noise level of the surrounding environment.

9.4 HAZARDOUS WASTES

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2003, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated from the proposed project will be taken. Therefore, no impact of hazardous wastes generation on surrounding soil environment is anticipated.

9.5 ECOLOGY

The proposed expansion project will be carried out on land within their premises without cutting of any trees. Also, the project site is located in Industrial Estate and non-agricultural land devoid of any permanent eco-system. So it does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and solid/hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated.



199

9.6 SOCIO - ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The proposed expansion project will generate direct employment for employment persons. Theindirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment. Implementation of this plant will also reduce production loss due to shortage of power. Thus, the proposed expansion project will have significant positive impacts on the employment pattern of the study area.

9.7 CONCLUSION

As such the Environmental Impact Statement recommends the implementation of the proposed with the proposed environmental protection measures.

CHAPTER: 1

INTRODUCTION

M/s. Airolam Ltd. has proposed expansion in manufacturingactivity of Organic ChemicalUnit at Survey No.:355, Village: Dalpur, Nananpur Road, Taluka: Prantij, District: Sabarkantha, Gujarat.

As a manufacturer, the management’s objective is to build confidence among their customers by regular and reliable supplies at competitive prices and consistent quality, complying with their technical requirements. Company’s purpose is to start production activity for range of products to meet supply demand of specific market segment with the objective to be the most reliable manufacturer in the market. The company is intending to do expansion in existing manufacturing facility which falls under Category “A” of Project Activity 5(f) – ‘Synthetic Organic Chemicals Industry’ of EIA Notification issued in September – 2006. For this the unit needs environmental clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forest, New Delhi. The Risk Assessment with following emphasis is required to be carried out:

Purpose

The purpose of this risk assessment is to evaluate the adequacy of the expansion in existingunit for production of products and usage of raw materials. Products have application as raw material to laminated sheets, Decorative Laminates and Insulation Board industries. This risk assessment provides a structured qualitative assessment of the operational environment. It addresses sensitivity, threats, vulnerabilities, risks and safeguards. The assessment recommends cost‐effective safeguards to mitigate threats and associated exploitable vulnerabilities.

Scope

The scope of this risk assessment assessed the system’s use of resources and controls (implemented or planned) to eliminate and/or manage vulnerabilities exploitable. This Risk Assessment Report evaluates the confidentiality (protection from unauthorized disclosure of system and data information), integrity (protection from improper




4

modification of information), and availability (loss of system access) of the system. Recommended security safeguards will allow management to make decisions about security‐related initiatives.

RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS

RISK ASSESSMENT

Identification analysis and assessment of hazard and risk are very useful in providing information to risk management. It provides basis for what should be type and capacity of its on‐site and off‐site emergency plan also what types of safety measures are required. Risk and consequence analysis is carried out considering storage and handling of various hazardous raw materials, intermediates and product as well as manufacturing process.

This section details the risk assessment process performed during this effort. The process is divided into pre‐assessment, assessment, and post assessment phases.

PHASE I – PREASSESSMENT

Step 1: Define the Nature of the Risk Assessment

This initial risk assessment provides an independent review to help Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) determine the appropriate level of security required for the system to support the development of a System Security Plan for intermediate chemical resin plant. The risk assessment is based on interviews, documentation and, as necessary, some automated technical review.

Step 2: Data Collection

The data collection phase included identifying and interviewing key personnel within the organization and conducting document reviews. Interviews focused on the operating environment. Document reviews provided the risk assessment team with the basis on which to evaluate compliance with policy and procedure.

Step 3: Templates

The following templates were used by the risk assessment team and are

Included in the appendices:

• Security Baseline Worksheet: Completed by the analysts using information extracted from questionnaires and interviews.




8

• Risk Calculation Worksheet: Converts the raw vulnerabilities into risks based on the following methodology:

• Risk Mitigation Worksheet: Lists the risks and the associated recommended controls to mitigate these risks for the Business Steward to review.

PHASE II – ASSESSMENT

Step 1: Document Review

The assessment phase began with the review of documents provided by the members of the various Resin manufacturing system team. Detailed interviews with members of the CDC Resins manufacturing system team allowed completion of the system questionnaire and identification of specific threats inadequately identified in the Enterprise Threat Statement.

Step 2: System Characterization

In this step, the analyst defined the boundaries of the IT system, along with the resources that constitute the system, its connectivity, and any other elements necessary to describe the system. Dependencies were clarified. Sensitivity of the system and data was discussed in the final section of the characterization.

Step 3: Threat Identification

Through the interview process, it also identified “most likely” system and location‐specific threats.

Step 4: Vulnerability Identification

In this step, the risk assessment team developed a list of system vulnerabilities (flaws or weaknesses) that could be exploited by the potential threat vectors.

Step 5: Risk Determination (Calculation/Valuation)

In this step, the risk assessment team determined the degree of risk to the system. In some cases, a series of vulnerabilities combined to create the risk. In other cases, a single vulnerability created the risk. The determination of risk for a particular threat source was expressed as a function of the following:




9

• Likelihood Determination: • The following governing factors were considered when calculating the likelihood of the

probability that a potential vulnerability might be exploited in the context of the associated threat environment:

• Threat source motivation and capability • Nature of the vulnerability • Existence and effectiveness of current controls

The following table defines the likelihood determinations.

Table1. Likelihood Definition

Level Likelihood Definition

High The threat source is highly motivated and sufficiently capable, and controls to prevent the vulnerability from being exercised are ineffective.

Moderate The threat source is motivated and capable, but controls are place that may impede successful exercise of the vulnerability.

Low The threat source lacks motivation or capability, or controls are in place to prevent, or at least significantly impede, the vulnerability from being exercised.

Impact Analysis:

The next major step in measuring level of risk was to determine the adverse impact resulting from successful exploitation of vulnerability. The adverse impact of a security event can be described in terms of loss or degradation of any, or a combination of any, of the following three security goals:

• Loss of Confidentiality – Impact of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information (e.g., Privacy Act).

• Loss of Integrity – Impact if system or data integrity is lost by unauthorized changes to the data or system.

• Loss of Availability – Impact to system functionality and operational effectiveness.




10

Table 2. Impact Definition

Magnitude of Impact Impact Definition

High Exercise of the vulnerability (1) may result in the highly costly loss of major tangible assets or resources; (2) may significantly violate, harm, or impede an organization’s mission, reputation, or interest; or (3) may result in human death or serious injury.

Moderate Exercise of the vulnerability (1) may result in the costly loss of tangible assets or resources; (2) may violate, harm or impeded an organization’s mission, reputation, or interest; or (3) may result in human injury.

Low Exercise of the vulnerability (1) may result tangible assets or resources; (2) may organization’s mission, reputation, or interest. in the loss of some noticeably affect an

• Risk Determination: The following were used to assess the level of risk to the IT system: • The likelihood of a given threat source’s attempting to exercise a given vulnerability. • The magnitude of the impact should a threat‐source successfully exercise the

vulnerability. • The adequacy of planned or existing security controls for reducing or eliminating

risk.

The following table provides a definition for the risk levels. These levels represent the degree or level of risk to which an IT system, facility, or procedure might be exposed if a given vulnerability were exercised.




11

Table 3. Risk Level Definition

Magnitude of Impact

Risk Level Definition

High There is a strong need for corrective measures. An existing system may continue to operate, but a corrective action plan must be put in place as soon as possible.

Moderate Corrective actions are needed and a plan must be developed to incorporate these actions within a reasonable period of time.

Low The system’s Authorizing Official must determine whether corrective actions are still required or decide to accept the risk.

Step 6:Risk Mitigation Recommendations:

During this step of the process, controls that could mitigate or eliminate the identified risks, as appropriate to the organization’s operations, were provided. The goal of the recommended controls is to reduce the level of risk to the IT system and its data to an acceptable level. The risk assessment team considered the following factors when recommending controls and alternative solutions to minimize or eliminate identified risks:

• Sensitivity of the data and the system • Effectiveness of recommended options • Legislation and regulations • Organizational policy • Operational impact • Safety and reliability

CHAPTER: 9

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION, MAJOR HAZARDS & DAMAGE CRITERIA

HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION:

Hazard is defined as a chemical or physical condition that has a potential of causing damage to the people, property or the environment. Hazard identification is the first step in the risk analysis and entails the process of collecting information on:

• The types and quantities of hazardous substances stored and handled, • The location of storage tanks & other facilities, • potential hazards associated with the spillage and release of hazardous • Chemicals.

Hazard is the associated term with material, which is a measure or the likely hood of the damage to human working with, or studying the material in question. The potential hazard and major risks associated with the plant will be identified using Hazard & operability study (HAZOP).

MAJOR HAZARDS:

A brief description of the following hazards generally encountered in handling hazardous chemicals is given in the section.

• Pool Evaporation • Vapor Cloud Explosion • Vapor Cloud Dispersion • Pool Fire • Jet Fire • BLEVE • Toxic Release




24

Pool Evaporation If the fluid, which escapes from containment, is a liquid, then vaporization must occur before a vapor cloud is formed. The rate at which vaporization takes place determines the formation of such a vapor clouds. Vaporization scenarios Vaporization can occur when there is a leak in any of the following situations: a) A liquid at atmospheric temperature and pressure. b) A liquid under pressure and above normal boiling point. The rates of vaporization of the liquid are different for each of the two cases. In the case

• The liquid after spillage is approximately at equilibrium and evaporates relativity slowly.

• In the case, the liquid flashes off when released, and the liquid remaining then undergoes slow evaporation.

(I) Evaporation of a liquid at atmospheric temperature and pressure. Evaporation from a pool of liquid is essentially a mass transfer process that depends on the vapor pressure of the liquid, wind velocity across the surface of the pool and ambient weather condition. A spillage of this kind constitutes a steady continuous source of vapor. Unless the rate of evaporation due to the combination of vapor pressure and wind velocity is high enough, it is usually assumed that the heat transfer from the air and the ground is sufficient to provide the latent heat of vaporization. (II) Evaporation of a liquid under pressure and above normal boiling point When a pressurized liquid is released from containment a portion flashes off. This heat is obtained by cooling the remaining liquid to its boiling point thus reaching a state of equilibrium from the high in equilibrium prevalent immediately on loss of containment. In practice, it frequently happens that there is a significant amount of spray formation caused




25

by the sudden release of pressure and the violent boiling of liquid. This spray vaporizes rapidly by taking heat for vaporization from air. This spray liquid formation is assumed to equal to the gas fraction generated by flash. The proportion of liquid airborne is thus considerably high. Following flashing, the residual liquid is at its boiling point. Vaporization then continuous by gaining heat from surrounding as an essentially heat or mass transfer limited process. This secondary stage of rate limited vaporization is usually relatively less important compared with the flash off, particularly with respect to formation of flammable gas clouds. Vapor Cloud dispersion Following a continuous leak and formation of gas cloud, if cloud does not ignite it undergoes atmospheric dispersion in accordance with the prevalent wind direction, speed and stability category. The objective of carrying out analysis of cloud dispersion is two fold. First, it provides the distance (from the leak) at which the concentration of flammable material falls below the lower flammability limit (LEL). Second it provides the concentration of the toxic substance to which people may be exposed for short time, at varying distance (from the leak). Vapor cloud Explosion Release of energy in a rapid and uncontrolled manner gives rise to explosion. Identified locations having explosion hazards shall in tank farm and storage area (warehouse). Extra care shall be taken by providing rupture disc, Pressure release valve, and temperature controller. In addition to that Fire and explosion hazard will identified as catastrophic failure of storage tanks in solvent storage yard. Explosion is a sudden and violent‐ release of energy which may be in the form of physical energy or chemical energy. In case where a major leak continues from some time without ignition a substantial mass of the gas from a vapor of cloud which on finding a source of ignition may result in an vapor cloud explosion (VCE) before a cloud is diluted to the concentration below the lower explosion limit in air. The explosion will cause overpressure resulting in to damage to the surrounding area.




26

Pool fire Since the Stone Age term 'fire' is associated with fear. It is very dangerous if occurs in uncontrolled manner. It should be clearly understood that when a liquid is used having flash point below the normal ambient temperature, it could, in suitable circumstances, liberate a sufficient quantity of vapour to give rise to flammable mixtures with air. Following an accidental release, chemicals will form either a confined pool within the bund area or an unconfined pool. Should the vapor above the pool ignite, the liquid will burn as a pool fire. The pool fire will result in thermal radiation. It cloud also damage all the storage tanks within the confined area of the dyke. In the present study, impact distances for various scenarios have been calculated. Jet fire After a minor or major loss of containment following hardware failure, chemicals which are stored under high pressure would escape as liquid/ gas spray or jet which undergoes flashing evaporation and forms a dense flammable gas could in the air. The cloud, which initially moves forward in the spatial direction of the spray till the kinetic energy, is lost and gravity slumping of cloud occurs if the gas is heavier than the air. Should the flammable jet ignite very soon after development of leak? A jet fire will commence. The jet fire could damage the neighboring tanks by direct flame impingement. It would also cause thermal radiation in the surrounding area. Fire Ball / BLEVE Any fire in the vicinity of storage tank containing a liquefied gas may cause Boiling Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE). Due to simultaneous increase of pressure as well as weakening of the material of the vessel because of a fire in the vicinity the tank. It may fail resulting in release of the entire inventory suddenly and result in a BLEVE and fireball. BLEVE results in serious thermal radiation to the plant equipment and surroundings. Damage may also result to the debris of the shattered vessel being thrown about.

The major hazards in the M/s. Airolam Ltd.are described below. • Toxic hazard due to leakage of hazardous chemicals. • Fire hazard due to leakage of flammable chemicals. • Electrical hazards due to the electrical major equipment/ machinery, operations,




27

welding, motors, heavy lift devices, cabling, human intervention (short circuit possibility), maintenance work (due to machinery breakdown etc.), plant lighting related electrical hazards.

• Possibility of human injury due to working with mechanical machines, manual handling etc.

• Possibility of injury during chemicals handled, during operations and due to intoxication.

• Major dropped objects hazard due to large number of physical handling steps / operations involved with crane/ overhead lifting/ hoisting equipment.

• Fires in any part of the plant working areas – there is a possibility of rapid escalation if it is not brought under control quickly.

Toxic hazards

Toxic substances affect in three ways by ingestion, absorption & inhalation. Adequate provision of safety along with personal protective equipment will be made, breathing apparatus and emergency kit shall be provided at various locations of the installation.

Corrosion hazards

Corrosion is a chemical reaction‐taking place at the surface of metal. Corrosive chemicals have their typical hazard when it comes in contact with human tissues. Most corrosive substances will produce chemical burns, while certain chemical produce deep ulceration. Other has detailing effect on skin and may cause dermatitis. This has also adverse effects on weakening the strength of material in contact.

M/s. Airolam Ltd.shall take due care to overcome the hazard. The complete structure of the manufacturing area shall be painted with special type of anticorrosive paint. Good quality materials will be used for transferring corrosives. Regular thickness testing of equipment, pipelines etc. shall carry out to have the exact picture of effect of corrosion.

Biological hazards

Effluent treatment process involves the biological activities so biological hazard’scan not be eliminated. The way of biological hazards is by hand to mouth contact during eating, drinking or by wiping the face with contaminated hands or gloves or by licking splashes from the skin or by breathing them in, as dust, aerosol or mist. The major source of biological hazard on site is biological sludge drying bed, filter press, biological storage




28

sump etc. Practically, complete elimination of biological hazard cannot be possible but it will be reduce by adopting the safe practice guards.

DAMAGE CRITERIA:

Damage estimates due to thermal radiations and overpressure have been arrived at by taking in to consideration the published literature on the subject. The consequences can then be visualized by the superimposing the damage effects zones on the existing plan site and identifying the elements within the project site as well as in the neighboring environment, which might be adversely affected, should one or more hazards materialize in real life. In consequence analysis, use is made of a number of calculation models to estimate the physical effects of an accident (spill of hazardous material) and to predict the damage (lethality, injury, material destruction) of the effects. The calculations can roughly be divided in three major groups:

a) Determination of the source strength parameters;

b) Determination of the consequential effects;

c) Determination of the damage or damage distances.

The basic physical effect models consist of the following.

Source strength parameters

* Calculation of the outflow of liquid, vapour or gas out of a vessel or a pipe, in case of rupture. Also two‐phase outflow can be calculated.

* Calculation, in case of liquid outflow, of the instantaneous flash evaporation and of the dimensions of the remaining liquid pool.

* Calculation of the evaporation rate, as a function of volatility of the material, pool dimensions and wind velocity.

* Source strength equals pump capacities, etc. in some cases.




29

Consequential effects

* Dispersion of gaseous material in the atmosphere as a function of source strength, relative density of the gas, weather conditions and topographical situation of the surrounding area.

* Intensity of heat radiation [in kW/ m2] due to a fire or a BLEVE, as a function of the distance to the source.

* Energy of vapour cloud explosions [in N/m2], as a function of the distance to the distance of the exploding cloud.

* Concentration of gaseous material in the atmosphere, due to the dispersion of evaporated chemical. The latter can be either explosive or toxic.

It may be obvious, that the types of models that must be used in a specific risk study strongly depend upon the type of material involved:

‐ Gas, vapour, liquid, solid

‐ Inflammable, explosive, toxic, toxic combustion products

‐ Stored at high/low temperatures or pressure

‐ Controlled outflow (pump capacity) or catastrophic failure?

Selection of Damage Criteria

The damage criteria give the relation between extent of the physical effects (exposure) and the percentage of the people that will be killed or injured due to those effects. The knowledge about these relations depends strongly on the nature of the exposure. For instance, much more is known about the damage caused by heat radiation, than about the damage due to toxic exposure, and for these toxic effects, the knowledge differs strongly between different materials.

In Consequence Analysis studies, in principle three types of exposure to hazardous effects are distinguished:

1. Heat radiation, from a jet, pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE. 2. Explosion 3. Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.

In the next three paragraphs, the chosen damage criteria are given and explained.




30

Heat Radiation

The consequence caused by exposure to heat radiation is a function of:

• The radiation energy onto the human body [kW/m2]; • The exposure duration [sec]; • The protection of the skin tissue (clothed or naked body). • The limits for 1% of the exposed people to be killed due to heat radiation, and for

second‐degree burns are given in the table herein: Damages to Human Life Due to Heat Radiation

Exposure Duration

(kW/m2)

Radiation for first degree burns, (kW/m2)

10 Sec 21.2 16 12.5

30 Sec 9.3 7.0 4.0

Since in practical situations, only the own employees will be exposed to heat radiation in case of a fire, it is reasonable to assume the protection by clothing. It can be assumed that people would be able to find a cover or a shield against thermal radiation in 10 sec. time. Furthermore, 100% lethality may be assumed for all people suffering from direct contact with flames, such as the pool fire, a flash fire or a jet flame. The effects due to relatively lesser incident radiation intensity are given below.

37.5 Severe damage to plant

100% lethality in 1 minute. 50% lethality in 20 secs. 1% lethality in 10 secs.

Explosion

In case of vapour cloud explosion, two physical effects may occur:

* a flash fire over the whole length of the explosive gas cloud; * a blast wave, with typical peak overpressures circular around ignition source.

As explained above, 100% lethality is assumed for all people who are present within the cloud proper.

For the blast wave, the lethality criterion is based on:

* A peak overpressure of 0.1 bar will cause serious damage to 10% of the housing/structures.

* Falling fragments will kill one of each eight persons in the destroyed buildings.

The following damage criteria may be distinguished with respect to the peak overpressures resulting from a blast wave:

From this it may be concluded that p = 0.17 E+5 pa corresponds approximately with 1% lethality. Furthermore it is assumed that everyone inside an area in which the peak overpressure is greater than 0.17 E+5 pa will be wounded by mechanical damage. For the gas cloud explosion this will be inside a circle with the ignition source as its centre.

Intoxication

The consequences from inhalation of a toxic vapour/gas are determined by the toxic dose.

This dose D is basically determined by:

‐ Concentration of the vapour in air;

‐ Exposure duration.

Furthermore, of course, the breathing rates of the victim, as well as the specific toxic mechanism unto the metabolism play an important role.

The dose is defined as D = Cn.t, with:




34

C = concentration of the toxic vapour, in [ppm] or [mg/m3];

t = Exposure duration, in [sec] or [min];

n = exponent, mostly > 1.0; this exponent takes into account the fact that a high concentration over a short period results in more serious injury than a low concentration over a relatively longer period of exposure. The value of n should be greater than zero but less than 5.

The given definition for D only holds if the concentration is more or less constant over the exposure time; this may be the case for a (semi) continuous source. In case of an instantaneous source, the concentration varies with time; the dose D must be calculated with an integral equation:

D = ∫Cn.dt

For a number of toxic materials, so‐called Vulnerability Models (V.M.) have been developed. The general equation for a V.M. (probit function) is:

Pr = a + b.ln (Cn.t), with

Pr = probit number, being a representation of the percentage of people suffering a certain kind of damage, for instance lethality

Pr = 2.67 means 1% of the population;

Pr = 5.00 means 50% of the population;

a and b material dependent numbers;

Cn.t = dose D, as explained above.

The values for a and b are mostly derived from experiments with animals; occasionally, however, also human toxicity factors have been derived from accidents in past. In case only animal experiments are available, the inhalation experiments with rats seem to be best applicable for predicting the damage to people from acute intoxication. Although much research in this field have been done over the past decades, only for a limited number of toxic materials consequence models have been developed. Often only quite scarce information is available to predict the damage from an acute toxic exposition. Data transformation from oral intoxication data to inhalation toxicity criteria is sometimes necessary. Generally, in safety evaluations pessimistic assumptions are applied in these transformation calculations. The calculated damage (distance) may be regarded as a




35

maximum. For the purposes of a response to a major incident, the IDLH value level has been chosen for the ‘wounded’ criteria. This type of injury will require medical attention.

Toxic Effects: The effect of exposure to a toxic substance depends upon the duration of exposure and the concentration of the toxic substance. Short‐term exposures to high concentration give Acute Effects while long term exposures to low concentrations result in Chronic Effects. Only Acute Effects are considered under hazard analysis, since they are likely credible scenarios. These effects are:

a) Irritation (respiratory system skin, eyes) b) Narcosis (nervous system) c) Asphyxiation (oxygen deficiency) d) System damage (blood organs)

Following are some of the common terms used to express toxicity of materials: TLV: Threshold Limit Value – is the permitted level of exposure for a given period on a

weighted average basis (usually 8 hrs.for 5 days in a week). STEL: it is permitted Short Time Exposure Limit usually for a 15‐minute exposure. IDLH: Immediately Dangerous To Life & Health LCLo: Lethal Concentration Low TCLo: Toxic Concentration Low

CHAPTER: 10

CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS & RISK ANALYSIS CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS In a plant handling hazardous chemicals, the main hazard arises due to storage, handling & use of these chemicals. If these chemicals are released into the atmosphere, they may cause damage due to resulting fires or vapour clouds. Blast Overpressures depend upon the reactivity class of material between two explosive limits.

Operating Parameters

Potential vapour release for the same material depends significantly on the operating conditions. Especially for any liquefied gas, the operating conditions are very critical to assess the damage potential. If we take up an example of ammonia, if it is stored at ambient temperature, say about 28oC, and then the vapour release potential of the inventory is much higher as compared to the case if it is stored at 0oC.

Inventory

Inventory Analysis is commonly used in understanding the relative hazards and short listing of release scenarios. Inventory plays an important role in regard to the potential hazard. Larger the inventory of a vessel or a system, larger the quantity of potential release. The potential vapour release (source strength) depends upon the quantity of liquid release, the properties of the materials and the operating conditions (pressure, temperature). If all these influencing parameters are combined into a matrix and vapour source strength estimated for each release case, a ranking should become a credible exercise.

Loss of Containment

Plant inventory can get discharged to Environment due to Loss of Containment. Certain features of materials to be handled at the plant need to the clearly understood to firstly list out all significant release cases and then to short list release scenarios for a detailed examination. Liquid release can be either instantaneous or continuous. Failure of a vessel leading to an instantaneous outflow assumes the sudden appearance of such a major crack that practically all of the contents above the crack shall be released in a very short time. The more likely event is the case of liquid release from a hole in a pipe connected to the vessel. The flow rate is depending on the size of the hole as well as on the pressure, which was present, in front of the hole, prior to the accident. Such pressure is basically dependent




37

on the pressure in the vessel. The vaporisation of released liquid depends on the vapour pressure and weather conditions. Such consideration and others have been kept in mind both during the initial listing as well as during the short listing procedure. In the study, Maximum Credible Loss accident methodology is to be used, therefore, the largest potential hazard inventories have been considered for consequence estimation. MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterised as the worst credible accident. In other words: an accident in an activity, resulting in the maximum consequence distance that is still believed to be possible. A MCA‐analysis does not include a quantification of the probability of occurrence of the accident. Another aspect, in which the pessimistic approach of MCA studies appears, is the atmospheric condition that is used for dispersion calculations.

The Maximum Credible Loss (MCL) scenarios have been developed for the Facility. The MCL cases considered, attempt to include the worst “Credible” incidents‐ what constitutes a credible incident is always subjective. Nevertheless, guidelines have evolved over the years and based on basic engineering judgement, the cases have been found to be credible and modelling for assessing vulnerability zones is prepared accordingly. Only catastrophic cases have been considered and not partial or small failures (as is the case in Quantitative Risk Assessment where contributions from low frequency ‐ high outcome effect as well as high frequency ‐ low outcome events are distinguished). The objective of the study is emergency planning, hence only holistic & conservative assumptions are used for obvious reasons. Hence though the outcomes may look pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept should be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.

The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios. This has been done for weather conditions having wind speed 1.667 m/s. In Consequence Analysis, geographical location of the source of potential release plays an important role. Consideration of a large number of scenarios in the same geographical location serves little purpose if the dominant scenario has been identified and duly considered.
