The Indian pesticides market was worth INR 181 Billion in 2017. The market is
further projected to reach INR 292.9 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 8.3% during
2018-2023.
Pesticides are substances or a mixture of substances intended for preventing,
destroying, repelling or mitigating any pest. Pesticides represent the last input in an
agricultural operation and are applied for preventing the spoilage of crops from pests
such as insects, fungi, weeds, etc., thereby increasing the agricultural productivity.
The significance of pesticides has been rising over the last few decades catalyzed by
the requirement to enhance the overall agricultural production and the need to
safeguard adequate food availability for the continuously growing population in the
country. In India, pests and diseases, on an average eat away around 20-25% of the
total food produced.

plant site forms the baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the
region are industrial, traffic and rural activities. This will also be useful for assessing
the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the plant operation. The
study area represents mostly rural environment.
The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a
scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of
monitoring network in the air quality surveillance programme has been based on the
following considerations:
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale.
Topography of the study area.
Representation of plant site.
Influence of the existing sources (if any) are to be kept at minimum.
Inclusion of major distinct villages to collect the baseline status.
Representation of down wind direction.
Representation of upwind direction.
Representation of cross sectional distribution in the down wind direction.

3.10.4.5 Species diversity index and species richness of plant population:
Biodiversity refers to the number and variety of organisms within a particular area. It is
always used as a measure of the health of biological system. Species diversity is a
characteristic unique to the community level of biological organization. Higher species
diversity is generally thought to indicate a more complex and healthier community
because a greater variety of species allows for more species interactions, hence greater
system stability and indicates good environmental conditions. Species richness is the
number of different species present in an area. The more species present in a sample
area the „richer‟ the area.

10. 2.79 29 3.10.6 Observations of existing GAVL activities on Biodiversity
3.10.6.1 General
Godrej Agrovet Limited, Lote site involves broadly transportation of raw material and
work force to the site, operation of boilers, Thermic fluid heater, D.G. set, process
reactors, pollution control and other utility equipment, storage of goods, maintenance,
etc. Observation of existing activity on biodiversity are given in the below.
3.10.6.2 Noise
Various activities at site (as mentioned above) leads to generation of noise at site;
however, unit is in MIDC & surrounding area have other noise sources, covers noise
level from existing activities. Thus the existing Godrej Agrovet Ltd. activities have
insignificant adverse impact on fauna due to noise.
3.10.6.3 Soil/ Land Waste generated is collected, segregated and stored at designated places. Godrej
Agrovet Ltd. is used to dispose hazardous wastes to authorized waste management
facility at Taloja. Therefore, no chances of barring accidental spillage of waste during
handling/ transportation, which would contribute to the contamination/ pollution/
deterioration of surrounding land.
3.10.6.4 Water Waste water generated during various operations is segregated based on High TDS,
High COD and Low TDS low COD. The Low TDS and low COD stream in treated in the
existing ETP and the treated effluent is sent to the CETP, Lote Parshuram for further

Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – III Page 150
treatment. The high TDS and high COD stream is treated in Distillation vessel and the
residue is sent to the CHWSTDF, Taloja for disposal.
In order to reduce the effluent generation, the industry proposes to concentrate the
effluents in Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) and concentrated effluents shall be dried
by Agitating Thin Film Dryer (ATFG) and the dried solids are disposed along with
Hazardous waste.
3.10.6.5 Air
Emissions from various processes, burning of fuel generates gaseous pollutants which
are passed through air pollution control system and release to environment through
stacks. Gaseous and particulate matter emission from stacks and other process related
sources contribute to Background particulate SO2 & NOx levels. During study, it was
noted that, with existing level of ambient air quality in study area is within prescribed
limit.

3.11.7 Awareness and Opinion of the People
Villagers expressed a positive attitude towards development of industrial sector by
expecting that local unemployed youth will get employment at skilled & semi-skilled
work. Also, adequate e precautions should be taken towards pollution & implemented so
that it should not occur & deteriorate the quality of natural environment which have an
adverse impact on health & crops etc.
Respondents also feel that vocational training institutions should be established,
medical facilities should be upgraded by periodically organizing health check-up camps
and opening more health institutions like PHS or hospital etc.

3.11.7.1 Opinion of the Residents:
During survey the respondent told that at present and in the past also there are no major
issues from the industry side. In fact it is helping them by many ways. However they
have given some suggestions like:
Factory surroundings should be pollution free even after expansion.
The groundwater source should not get affected due to any
leakages/spillages/discharge of effluents.
The waste water should be recycled and reused for gardening purposes or other
industrial activities.
Villagers also expect the company should take initiative against water scarcity problem
and other activities such as tree plantation, development of Irrigation facility,
Construction of dam at river, construction & maintenance of drainage line, vocational
training programs, bus facility, medical facility, internal roads within village,
implementation of Agriculture department schemes, library, Garbage bins, and Power
supply, etc.
3.11.7.2 Benefits of Project Expansion
The main purpose of capacity expansion is to fulfill the Demand supply gap. The
products manufactured by the industry are very useful in the agricultural fields. Farmers
are extensively using the products manufactured by the GAVL in order to protect the
crops from diseases, thus the damage to the crops can be totally eliminated. Since it is
an indigenous product, the cost would be low to protect crops to the farmers.
The industry will provide employment opportunities to the nearby villagers. It would also
help the socioeconomic conditions of the surrounding villages as there will be certain
amount allotted for corporate social responsibility.

ANTICIPATED ENIVORNMENTAL IMPACTS
& MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Environment and development should be considered as mutually Complementary,
interdependent and an instrument of reinforcing the quality of life. Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA) is the important aspect of overall environmental
management strategy and an important tool for sustainable development. It identifies
major impacts of Industrial and associated activities on environment and provides
guideline to prepare the necessary control measure termed as Environmental
Management Plan (EMP).
The identified impacts for various components of environment viz., Air, Noise, Water,
Land, Socio-Economy, etc. are presented herewith. EIA is an activity or an attempt
to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the
activity/project on the environment.
Based on results [Baseline Data] of prediction and evaluation, pollution abatement
and control measures in order to mitigate the adverse impacts on the environment
are delineated in an Environmental Management Plan
The proposed project is likely to create impact on the environment in two distinct
phases:
During the construction phase of expansion, which may be temporary and
short term; and
During the operation phase that would have long-term effects.
4.2. INVESTIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DUE TO PROPSED
EXPANSION PROJECT
The environmental impact assessment is accomplished by identification and
prediction of impacts and their assessment. Potential impacts of proposed project on
various environmental attributes given below are predicted;
Air environment
Water resources and quality
Noise levels
Land use
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 158
Soil quality
Solid waste
Terrestrial and aquatic ecology
Demography and socio-economics.
Hydrology & Geology
4.3. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the construction phase of expansion, the activities which are likely to
contribute to impact on various environmental components which are temporary in
nature are construction of various structures of Herbicides/ Fungicides/ PGRs
activities, lying of internal roads, erection of equipment etc.
The construction activities will be confined within the project area of 10742 Sq. m.
The environmental impacts and management plan during construction phase are
detailed below.
4.3.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE
It is an existing plant, now the expansion of the project will be in the existing area of
10742 Sq. m.
No major changes in land use pattern due to the expansion project activities.
4.3.2 IMPACT ON SOIL ENVIRONMENT
The activities of expansion will be confined within the site premises. During
construction works, top soil generated from various activities like excavation etc. will
be stored and preserved to use it during restoration period as far as possible.
The construction activities will result in loss of topsoil and earthen material to some
extent in the plant premises. However, it is proposed to use the soil and earthen
material in greenbelt development.
No solid or hazardous waste will be generated during construction phase of
expansion, thus no impact on soil environment is likely.
4.3.3 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
There is no additional stress expected due to this expansion activity on topography
as it is an existing unit. Construction of buildings and facilities during construction
phase of expansion, excavated soil will be restored to its original shape. Thus the
impact is insignificant.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 159
4.3.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT
The sources of air emissions during construction phase of expansion will be due to
emissions from vehicles used for transportation of men and materials and emission
from construction equipment. These activities are likely to result in emission of SO2,
NO2, CO2 and Particulate matter. However, the quantity of these will be very
negligible and that too only for a very short period. Hence no adverse impact on air
quality is likely to occur.
4.3.5 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT
No surface water body is located in the vicinity of the project site; hence project
related impact on water environment would mainly be limited to the groundwater
resources. The potential impacts during construction phase of expansion are
assessed based on the various activities.
● Improper disposal of construction debris may lead to off-site contamination of
water resources.
● Unaccounted disposal of domestic wastewater from temporary labour camps.
● Spillage of oil and grease from the vehicle maintenance activity and wastewater
stream generated from activities, such as vehicles washing and maintenance.
Site Workshop:
The repair and maintenance of equipment/ vehicles at site would generate waste
containing oil and grease. The wastewater stream would also be generated from
vehicle washing. The impact can be mitigated to a great extent by installing oil and
grease traps during construction phase.
Construction wastes and management:
Construction waste of electrical installation, painting and flooring may create
significant impact. This type of waste would be stock piled and disposed off to
authorized vendor.
The contamination of groundwater might occur due to the irrational disposal of liquid
wastes. The overall impact on water environment during construction phase of
expansion is likely to be short term and insignificant. There seems no impact on the
water environment of the study area.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 160
4.3.6 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVELS
Noise will be generated due to traffic for loading and unloading, fabrication and
handling of equipment and materials are likely to cause an increase in the ambient
noise levels. The areas affected are those close to the site. However, the noise will
be temporary and will be restricted mostly to daytime.
4.3.7 IMPACT ON ECOLOGY
The proposed expansion project will not involve removal of any vegetation from the
soil and loosening of the topsoil generally causes soil erosion as it is. However, such
impacts will be confined to the project site and will be minimized through paving and
water sprinkling. However, 33.24 % of greenbelt will be developed in the plant site.
There will no major adverse impacts are envisaged on ecological environment due to
project activities.
4.3.8 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Due to proposed expansion, there will be no major negative impact on socio
economic environment. The project will require a workforce of 45 persons during
plant operations after expansion. Thus industrial activity will boost up the commercial
and economical status of the locality to some extent. And, the overall impacts on
socio-economic environment due to the proposed project are positive in nature and
accrue to the community on the long-terms basis.

production starts.
The following activities related to the operational phase will have varying impacts on
the environment and are considered for impact assessment:
Air environment
Water resources and quality
Noise levels
Land use
Soil quality
Solid waste
Terrestrial and aquatic ecology
Demography and socio-economics.
Hydrology & Geology
4.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The impacts on air quality from project depend on various factors like design
capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be used, air
pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart from the above, other
activities associated with transportation of fuel, raw materials and finished products,
storage facilities and material handling within the plant premises may also contribute
to air pollution.
4.6.1 Source of Air Pollution
The operational phase activities are expected to have long - term impacts on the air
quality. The main sources from project are detailed below.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 165
A. Flue gas Emissions
Boilers and DG set are the two main sources of emissions from the plant. The
industry will use 0.6 TPH Furnace Oil fired boiler and proposed to install 0.6 TPH
Furnace Oil fired boiler. A 200 KVA DG Set will be kept as standby power during
power failures.
PM, SO2 and NOx are the main air pollutants generated from the boilers and DG set.

B. Process Emissions
The Predicted Process emissions are
CO2 [Carbon dioxide] – Pollutant
HCl [Hydrochloric acid] - Pollutant
NH3 [Ammonia] – Pollutant
H2 [Hydrogen] - Non Pollutant
SO2 [Sulphur dioxide] – Pollutant
O2 [Oxygen] - Non Pollutant
HBr [Hydrogen Bromide] - Pollutant
The above mentioned emissions will liberate from the manufacturing process of
proposed products. The process emissions are based on reactants quantity and
chemical reactions between them in relation with desired product output.
C. Fugitive emission
The main sources of fugitive emissions from project are
Storage & Handling of raw materials
Storage & Handling of Solvents.
During reaction period
During Product filtrations & Finished operations
The raw materials will be stored in PP bags, Fibre drums and HDPE drums in
elevated flat from under the roof. Bulk quantities will be stored in storage tanks with
vent condensers to avoid the fugitive emissions. Solvents are handled in closed loop
system thereby reducing the losses in the form of evaporation.
4.6.2 Prediction of Impacts on Air Environment
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level concentration
during the operation of plant and its impact on ambient air quality of the area.
Air quality assessment is done by integrating the measurement techniques and
modeling tools. The air modeling tools are routinely used in the environmental impact
assessments, risk analysis, emergency planning, and source apportionment studies.
Recent strategies for air pollution control in industries have largely neglected the
emission reduction measures which are the prime polluting sources. To accomplish
this, various air dispersion models have been developed and used worldwide so far
for different applications under different scenarios. The Gaussian plume model is a
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 167
standard approach for studying the transport of pollutants due to turbulent diffusion
and advection by the wind. Applications of such models have been made mandatory.
In this study, the AERMOD (the American Meteorological Society/Environmental
Protection Agency Regulatory Model Improvement Committee’s Dispersion Model,
Gaussian dispersion model is selected to predict the ground level concentrations
(GLC’s) of Particulate Matter (PM) µg/m3, Sulphur dioxide (SO2) µg/m3 and Nitrogen
dioxide (NO2) µg/m3 from point source emissions will be investigated in the study
area.
Methodology
Prediction of GLC values are made by using AERMOD software approved by U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and has adopted it as its regulatory
model since 2005. In point source emissions, the stacks are subjected to plume rise
which again is dependent on force of buoyancy and momentum. The higher is the
plume rise or stack, the lesser will be ground level concentrations (GLC’s).The
emissions when released into the atmosphere are subjected to transportation,
dispersion, transformation, and fall out and wash out and finally reach the ground
level at a particular distance and concentrations. The relationship between the
source of emissions and its magnitude with the ground level concentrations (GLC’s)
at receptor points is governed by air dispersion models which take into the account
by the source strength, plume rise, atmospheric stability, mixing height, wind
velocity, terrain and other meteorological conditions. The comparison between the
predicted and field sampled downwind concentrations for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NO2
(µg/m3) will be carried out in this study to predict the average downwind ground level
concentrations (GLC’s)
Data Used for Computation
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term incremental GLC
values of PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NO2 using the meteorological data collected at site
during the March to May – 2018. Details of the data used for computations are given
below:
Source Characteristics/Release Characteristics
The details of estimated stack emissions load are given in Table 4.3.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 168
Meteorological Data
The meteorological data recorded continuously during the month of March to May -
2018, on hourly basis. AERMOD model requires hourly surface data values for wind
speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and cloud cover. Both data files
for the surface and profile files were then used to generate the meteorological file
required by the AERMOD dispersion model using the AERMET meteorological pre-
processor. This AERMET has three stages to process the data. The first stage
extracts meteorological data and assesses data quality through a series of quality
assessment checks. The second stage merges all data available for 24-hour periods
and writes these data together in a single intermediate file. The third and final stage
reads the merged meteorological data and estimates the necessary boundary layer
parameters for dispersion calculations by AERMOD.
Dispersion Modeling Results
The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from plant have
been computed for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NO2 considering topographical features
around the plant and applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average
GLC values for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 & NO2 from plant are given in Table 4.6 & Table
4.7. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.4 for PM10,
PM2.5, SO2 & NO2.

The proposed project site is identified based on the following considerations:
The existing land of proposed expansion Project is 10742 Sq. m, topographically
the area is generally plain, with gentle slope.
The area is not covered by any notified forests.
Proximity of National Highways and railways stations, for transport of raw
materials and manufactured products.
Availability of infrastructure facilities.
Well connected road networks.
The location of the site have distinct advantages such as accessibility to Road, Rail,
Electricity, MIDC water supply and other facilities which are adequate for the proposed
expansion project and hence, no alternate sites were considered.
5.2. SELECTION OF PROCESS TECHNOLOGY
Proposed to manufacture different types of Pesticides.
All the products will be manufactured on a batch basis.
The products are categorized on similarity in process.
Pesticides substances typically consist of structurally complex compounds which
are manufactured via a series of intermediate steps and reactions under precise
process conditions.
The Pesticides are manufactured by:
Chemical synthesis;
Isolation / recovery from natural sources; and /or
Combination of above.
In the proposed expansion project, resource availability may limit the range of
alternatives in a particular context. Herbicides/Fungicides/PGRs will be manufactured
using proven technology; hence no alternative technology has been analyzed thus, no
new or untested technology will be used.

Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VI Page 195
blowers will be checked for any drop in exit gas velocity. The monitoring will be done by
authorised laboratory and test result will be submitted to the SPCB.
Work Zone Monitoring: The concentration of air borne pollutants in the
workspace/work zone environment will be monitored periodically. If concentrations
higher than threshold limits are observed, the source of fugitive emissions will be
identified and necessary measures taken. In addition, industry will continue to monitor
the VOC in all process & storage areas on regular basis. In case, the levels are high,
suitable measures as detailed in EMP will be implemented.
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring: The concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, NH3,
CO and HC in the ambient air will be monitored at regular intervals. In case of any
excess concentration in the ambient air quality due to the proposed production
enhancement, proponent will take necessary action and follow the air pollution control
measures. Greenbelt will further be developed for minimising dust propagation. The
ambient air quality data will be transferred and processed in a centralised computer
facility equipped with required software. Trend and statistical analysis will be carried out
as per the CPCB guidelines.
6.6.2. WATER AND WASTEWATER QUALITY MONITORING AND DATA ANALYSIS
To ensure a strict control over the water consumption, flow meters will be installed for
existing and proposed facilities for all major inlets in expansion. All leakages will be
identified and rectified. In addition, periodic water audits will be conducted to explore
possibility of water conservation.
Industry will analyse the basic parameters and the procedures prescribed in "Standard
Methods for Examination of Water and Wastewater" prepared and published jointly by
American Public Health Association (APHA), American Water Works Association
(AWWA) will be followed for all the parameters of monitoring. As per the CPCB
guidelines, industry will be installed the online sensors in the treated effluent for pH,
Conductivity and DO with night vision cameras.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VI Page 196
Surface and Groundwater Monitoring: The monitoring of Surface and groundwater is
the most important tool to know the variations from the baseline study. This is
indispensable as it provides detection of the presence of waste constituents in ground
water in case of leachate migration. In this project, chances are very less for leachate
as the total effluent is segregated and is sent to ETP – ZLD and the treated effluent will
be reused in cooling tower. The water samples from the nearby surface water bodies
and bore wells will be analysed for relevant parameters as per monitoring program.
Records of analysis will be documented.
Monitoring of Waste water Streams: All the segregated wastewater streams will be
regularly measured for physic - chemical, nutrient and demand parameters. The
monitoring will be carried out from stream wise raw wastewater, raw and treated effluent
characteristics of ETPs before recycling to utilities. These data will be documented and
compared against the design performance values of ETPs for necessary corrective
action.
The ETP will be operated and maintained by existing & additional skilled and dedicated
personnel. Daily log sheets for no. of hours of the ETP operation, chemicals, electrical
and steam consumption; effluent monitored parameters with their results, etc. will
continue to be maintained.
6.6.3. NOISE LEVELS
Noise levels in the work zone environment such as boiler house, cooling tower area,
and DG house will be monitored. The frequency will be once in a month in the work
zone. Audiometric tests will be conducted periodically for the employees working close
to the high noise sources.
6.6.4. SOIL QUALITY
Soil quality will be tested for the parameters given in schedule for every six months.
6.7 REPORTING SCHEDULES OF THE MONITORING DATA
It is proposed that voluntary reporting of environmental performance with reference to
the EMP will be undertaken. The environmental monitoring department will co-ordinate
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – VI Page 197
all monitoring programmes at site and data thus generated will be regularly furnished to

and proposed safety systems.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 199
Containment failure scenarios related to flammable chemicals & hazardous chemicals have
been considered for Risk Assessment and consequences in detail. Thus, this study is mainly
oriented towards acute risks rather than chronic risks.
Discussions were held with Plant officials on various Hazards in connection with the plant
operations & their Risks and proposed individual safety systems for plant operations.
Hazard Identification
The project description, and other project related data provided by the client have been
comprehensively reviewed to identify the hazardous operations. Also the information on the
hazardous properties (MSDS) of all the chemicals handled at the site has been reviewed to
identify the hazards associated with the same. Storage of some of the raw material at the site
can lead to uncontrolled release of hazardous material causing hazard. On the basis of this,
the important hazards that can lead to accident in the proposed expansion project are
tabulated below.
TABLE 7.1: TYPE OF HAZARDOUS EVENTS
Type of event Description Explosion A release of large amount of energy that form a blast wave
Pool Fire
Pool fire is a turbulent diffusion fire burning above a horizontal pool of
vaporizing hydrocarbon fuel, where the fuel has zero or low initial
momentum
Spill Release
Loss of containment‘. Release of flammable liquid to the surroundings
from unit‘s own Storage containers causing (potential) pollution or risk
of explosion or formation of Toxic vapor cloud
Flammable area
Vapor Cloud
Explosion
Explosion resulting from vapor clouds formed from flashing liquids
Hazard and Damage Assessment
Toxic and flammable substances released from sources of storage as a result of failures or
catastrophes, can cause losses in the surrounding area in the form of:
Toxic gas dispersion, resulting in toxic levels in ambient air,
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 200
Puddle /pool Fires resulting in a heat wave (radiation), or
Explosions (Vapor Cloud Explosions) resulting in blast waves (overpressure).
Consequences of Fire/Heat Wave
The effect of thermal radiation on people is mainly a function of intensity of radiation and
exposure time. The effect is expressed in term of the probability of death and different degree
of burn. The consequence effects studied to assess the impact of the events on the receptors
are given in the table below.
TABLE 7.2: THERMAL RADIATION INTENSITY AND EXPOSURE TIME-DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR PEOPLE
Thermal Radiation Intensity (KW/m2) Type of Damage
1.6 No harm for long exposures. 4 to 5 Pain for 20 seconds exposure; first degree burn 9.5 Second degree burn after 20 Seconds
10 to 15 Potentially lethal with in 1 minute. 25 Significant injury in 10 seconds; 100 % lethality in 1 minute.
35 to 37.5 1 % lethality in 10 seconds. Consequences of Overpressure
The effects of the shock wave vary depending on the characteristics of the material, the
quantity involved and the degree of confinement of the vapor cloud. The pressure of the shock
wave decreases rapidly with the increase in distance from the source of the explosion. The
overpressure damage is discussed in table below.
TABLE 7.3: DAMAGE DUE TO OVERPRESSURES
PEAK OVERPRESSURE DAMAGE TYPE
0.83 bar Total destruction
0.30 bar Heavy damage
0.10 bar Moderate damage
0.03 bar Significant damage
0.01 bar Minor damage
The effect of exposure to 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.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 201
Only acute effects are considered under hazard analysis, since they are likely credible
Hydrogen peroxide which may leads to Air pollution, Water pollution and Soil pollution
The exposure to hazards depends upon the concentration of hazard, Frequency and duration.
The exposure to hazard could be controlled by reducing either the concentration of hazard,
frequency or duration.
After a critical analysis of the chemicals propose to use, stored and for products to
manufacture a defined safe operating procedures will be in place with safety and mitigation
measures to overcome the hazards.
The exposure to the hazard could be controlled by implementing the following:
Engineering controls at the source
Environmental controls that remove the hazard from the environment
Inspection of solvents transfers pipelines conveying lines once in a month.
Earthing to all storage tanks and providing jumpers to transfer pipelines to have continuity of
earthing.
All the process reactors will have temperature control and pressure control system for process
as well as suitable Rupture disc followed by a safety valve to avoid explosion due to excess
pressure.

The basic physical effect models consist of the following.
Source strength parameters
Calculation of the outflow of liquid, vapor out of a vessel, in case of rupture. Also two-
phase outflow can be calculated.
Calculation in case of liquid outflow, of the instantaneous flash evaporation.
Calculation of the evaporation rate, as a function of volatility of the material, pool
dimensions and wind velocity.
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 pool fire, as a function of the distance to
the source.
Energy of vapor cloud explosions [in KW / 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:
liquid
Inflammable, toxic products
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 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.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 237
In consequence analysis studies, in principle three types of exposure to hazardous effects are
distinguished:
Heat radiation from puddle/pool fire
Vapor cloud Explosion
Toxic effect from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.
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]
7.8 DAMAGES TO HUMAN LIFE DUE TO HEAT RADIATION
Injuries to People —Definition of Burn Degrees
First Degree: A mild level of skin burn affecting the epidermis, with persistent redness but no
formation of blisters. More severe first - degree burns will produce some pain, but no
permanent damage. Flaking or scaling of the outer skin layer will occur several days after
exposure.
Second Degree: An intermediate level of skin burn characterized by the formation of blisters.
The blister depth may be shallow (epidermis), with only the surface layers of the skin
damaged, or more severe with nearly the full depth of the skin destroyed (epidermis and
dermis).
Third Degree: Deep burns characterized by the destruction of all skin layers and by charring.
The underlying tissue may also be damaged.
TABLE 7.8: HEAT FLUX INTENSITY AND EXPOSURE TIME-DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR PEOPLE
Thermal Radiation Intensity (KW/m2) Type of Damage
1.6 No harm for long exposures. 4 to 5 Pain for 20 seconds exposure; first degree burn 9.5 Second degree burn after 20 Seconds 10 to 15 Potentially lethal with in 1 minute.
25 Significant injury in 10 seconds; 100 % lethality in 1 minute.
35 to 37.5 1 % lethality in 10 seconds.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter - VII Page 238
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.
Explosion
In case of vapor 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.
The following damage criteria may be distinguished with respect to the peak overpressures
resulting from a blast wave:
TABLE 7.9: DAMAGE DUE TO OVERPRESSURES
PEAK OVERPRESSURE DAMAGE TYPE
0.83 bar Total destruction
0.30 bar Heavy damage
0.10 bar Moderate damage
0.03 bar Significant damage
0.01 bar Minor damage
7.9 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS ACCIDENT SCENARIOS
A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterized 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 judgment, the cases have been found to be credible and modeling for
assessing vulnerability zones is prepared accordingly.
EIA Report Godrej Agrovet Limited (GAVL)

The objective of the study is Emergency planning, is to prevent by technical and organizational
measures, the unintentional escape of hazardous materials out of the facility and minimize
accidents and losses. Hence, though the outcomes may look pessimistic, the planning for
emergency concept demonstrates the organizational commitment to the safety of employees
and increases organization‘s safety awareness.
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.
The Consequence Analysis has been done for selected scenarios. The details of software
used for MCA analysis are described below.
A computer based version ALOHA is used to calculate toxic and Thermal radiation
effect of the accidental release of liquid chemicals within the plant area.
ALOHA models key hazards-toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation (Heat), and over
pressure (expansion blast force)-related to chemical releases that result in toxic gas
dispersion, fire and/or explosion
