treat the effluents generated from plant and to reuse the treated water.
The MEE System with 60 KLD Capacity & RO system with 60 KLD Capacity will be
installed for treatment of effluents generated from plant operations.
4.4 Noise Environment
The main sources of noise pollution in the plant operations are Boiler, Reactors, DG
Sets, compressors and other Noise generating units. Vehicular movements during
operation phase for loading / unloading of raw materials and finished products and
transporting activity may also increases the noise levels.
All the noise generating equipments like motors, gear boxes and compressors will be
regularly maintained with lubricating material to avoid noise generation. DG set will
be provided with acoustic enclosures. A thick greenbelt will be developed along the
periphery of the plant boundaries to minimize the noise pollution from the source.
4.5 Land Environment
The plant activities are unlikely to alter the land-use pattern in the project site. The
unit will take adequate measures for storage, handling and disposal of hazardous
waste. Hence, there will be no significant adverse impact on land environment.

& 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, 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 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
Soil quality
Solid waste

Terrestrial and aquatic ecology
Demography and socio-economics.
Hydrology & Geology
4.3. CONSTRUCTION PHASE
During the construction phase, the activities which are likely to contribute to impact
on various environmental components which are temporary in nature are site
clearing, leveling, construction of various structures of Drug manufacturing activities,
lying of internal roads & erection of equipment.
The construction activities will be confined within the project area of 5.70 acres.
The environmental impacts and management plan during construction phase are
detailed below.
4.3.1 IMPACT ON LAND USE
Present land is Barren. Now the site is converting in to industrial use and the
proposed project will be in an area of 5.70 Acres (23067.1 SQM) Change will occur
on the land use pattern of the surrounding villages
Any construction of infrastructure will lead to permanent change in land use pattern
at the site as a direct impact. No major changes in land use pattern will occur due to
the project activities.
4.3.2 IMPACT ON SOIL ENVIRONMENT
The activities of proposed project 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 thus no impact on
soil environment is likely.
4.3.3 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
The proposed site is plain terrain and during the construction phase there would be
proper leveling of the proposed site. There is no additional stress expected due to
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 225
this project activity on topography and soil strategy of the project site and its
surroundings
Since it is a new project, changes occur in topography due to excavation of soil in
the proposed project area and construction of buildings and facilities. During
construction, excavated soil will be restored to its original shape. Thus the impact
during the construction is reversible, for short term and insignificant.
4.3.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT
The sources of air emissions during construction phase will be due to development
of site, emissions from vehicles used for transportation of men and materials and
emission from construction equipment’s. 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 phases 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 equipments/ 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 of Roads and Parking Areas:
The impact from the road construction depends on both the construction practices
and the type of material used. Construction waste of electrical installation, painting
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 226
and flooring may create significant impact. This type of waste would be stock piled
and disposed off to authorized vendor.
Development of the proposed site could lead to stockpiling and excavation activity on
site, thereby causing erosion of base soil. The run-off from the site may contain high
quantity of suspended solids (SS). The impact of runoff may not be very significant
except during rainy season. Further, construction of garland drains will reduce the
runoff from the stockpiles
Domestic Wastewater generated during construction, which will be collected in
sewage collection tank [septic tank]
The contamination of groundwater might occur due to the irrational disposal of liquid
wastes. The overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to
proposed project is likely to be short term and insignificant. There seems no impact
on the water environment of the study area.
4.3.6 IMPACT ON NOISE LEVELS
Noise will be generated due to construction 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 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, 48.02% of greenbelt will be developed in the proposed project
site. The existing trees will be preserved to the extent possible. Thus, 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 project there is no major negative impact on socio economic
environment. The proposed project will requires a workforce of 100 persons during
plant operations. Thus industrial activity will boost up the commercial and
economical status of the locality to some extent. And, the overall impacts on socio-
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP

Land/Soil
Short term minor negative impact due to change in top layer of soil
The earthen material generated during excavations and site grading periods, will be properly dumped and slope stabilization shall be taken. The topsoil generated during construction shall be preserved and reused for plantations
Greenbelt development will have significant impact in reduction of the soil erosion
3 Ambient Air Quality
Sort term negative impacts because of dust emission due to site cleaning, road laying, earthwork, transportation & construction
The emissions will be temporary and confined within proposed project site boundary. It is not expected to contribute significantly to the ambient air quality However, the unit will take following measures for control of dust emissions:
Use of plastic cover sheet while transporting construction material at site
Storage of sand and other such dispersible material by covering with tarpaulin sheet
Storage of sand and other such dispersible material by covering with tarpaulin sheet
Keeping minimum inventory/stock of sand and other such dispersible

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.
A. Flue gas Emissions
Boiler and DG set are the two main sources of emissions from the plant. Industry
proposes to install 5 TPH coal fired boiler. 250 KVA – 2 No’s of DG Set are kept as
standby power during power failures.
PM, SO2 and NOx are the main air pollutants generated from the boiler and DG set.
The emissions from the boiler stack and DG Set Stack are given in Table 4.2 & 4.3

B. Process Emissions
The Predicted Process emissions are
CO2, [Carbon dioxide] – Pollutant
SO2, [Sulphur dioxide] - Pollutant
O2, [Oxygen] – Non Pollutant
H2 [Hydrogen] - Non Pollutant
NH3,[ Ammonia] - Pollutant
HBr, [Hydrobromic acid ] – Pollutant
CH3Cl [Methyl chloride] - Pollutant
HCl [Hydrochloric acid]
Which will liberate from 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
conditions 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.
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 233
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
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 oxides
of nitrogen (NOx)- 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 PM, SO2 & NOX (µg/m3)
will be carried out in this study to predict the average downwind ground level
concentrations (GLC’s)
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 234
Data Used for Computation
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term incremental GLC
values of PM, SO2 & NOx using the meteorological data collected at site during the
Oct – 2017 to Dec – 2017. 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 4.2.
Meteorological Data
The meteorological data recorded continuously during the month of Oct – 2017 to
Dec – 2017, 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 PM, SO2 & NOx considering topographical features around the
plant and applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values
for PM, SO2 & NOx from plant are given in Table 4.4 to Table 4.5. Corresponding
isopleths plotted are shown in Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.3 for SPM, SO2 & NOx.

SO2 &NOx, will remain below the 24 –hourly ambient air quality standards for SO2 &
NOx (80 μg/m3) and PM10 (100μg/m3) prescribed by CPCB. The operation of plant is
not likely to cause any significant impact on the ambient air quality of the study area.

Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 242
Fresh Water Requirement
The total water requirement for the proposed project is 126 KLD. Water requirement
of unit is met through Ground water. Unit will be bought water from private water
supplier through tankers in case of non-availability of main source [Ground water]
this will be kept as stand by source.
Waste water generation
Total effluent generation is 63.3 KLD, which is from process, scrubbers, boiler,
cooling towers and washing activities. The HTDS waste water of 33.55 KLD from
Process after neutralization taken for treatment in stripper followed by MEE and
ATFD. LTDS waste water of 29.75 KLD including domestic sewage, floor Washes,
Disposal of Effluent – ZLD System

Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor and process equipment to
reduce the amount of wastewater generated during washings.
Conjunctive use of groundwater.
4.8 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
PREDICTION OF IMPACT
Identification of potential impacts on noise environment from the proposed project is
as important as other components of the environment. The main sources of noise
pollution are Boiler, Reactors, DG Set, Air compressors, and other Noise generating
units. Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading / unloading of raw
materials and finished products and transporting activity may also increase noise
level. Noise levels in the ambient air are well within the permissible limits given by
the National Ambient Noise level standards as confirmed during baseline study. Leq
values of the noise levels within the plant premises will be kept less than 75 – 70 db
[A] [during day time and night time] which will be within the permissible limit.
4.8.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
To minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes the following noise control
measures,
Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, exhaust mufflers, buffers
and / or abatement measures that will be implemented.
Employees will be provided with earplugs or earmuffs.
Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried out for
the machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.
Green Belt Development.
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 244
4.9 LAND/ SOIL ENVIRONMENT
IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS
Infrastructural development for the proposed project as well as subsequent
developments in the nearby area may change the land use pattern of area.
The impact on land and soil environment may be due to effluent disposal, chemical
and hazardous waste storage & handling. Spillage of chemicals during loading,
unloading and transfer, leakage of pumps, flange leakage in pipelines may create
soil/land contamination.
PREDICTION OF IMPACTS
The Proposed project will be carried out within the acquired land premises; there
will not be any change in land use pattern, forest cover or vegetation in
surrounding area. Moreover, electricity, water, roads, all basic amenities and
infrastructure are already available in the area.
There will not be any disposal of untreated effluent on land. Industrial wastewater
will be properly treated and reuse in various activities within the premises.
Spillage of chemicals during loading, unloading and transfer, leakage of pumps,
flange leakage in pipelines may create soil/land contamination. However, the
regular maintenance of pumps and flange connections in the pipelines will be
carried out and proper care will be taken while loading, unloading and transfer of
materials to avoid any soil/land contamination.
4.9.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
During operational phase, the chances of any enhanced soil erosion are not
anticipated. But improper disposal of toxic wastes and accidental spillages of
toxic chemicals can pose a serious threat to the soil, ground and surface waters.
But the chances of such events cannot be quantified and predicted. Since the
industry is expected all rules and regulations relating to the use, handling and
disposal of all toxic and hazardous chemicals, no additional safety methods are
required especially to prevent contamination of soil.
Liberal use of locally available farmyard manure will be used for the plants in the
greenbelt and block plantations for improving the productivity, fertility and health
of soils.
Draft EIA Report Felix Ventures LLP
Prepared By Rightsource Industrial Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Chapter – IV Page 245
In case of any spillage, the same will be collected and treated in ETP. The unit
will provide an adequate designated storage area with impervious flooring system
and roof cover with leachate collection system for the storage of hazardous
wastes.
Leachate, if any will be collected and treated in ETP. Thus, there will not be any
chances of contamination of soil due to the storage of chemicals and hazardous
waste.
The hazardous waste generated will be stored and handle as per the Hazardous
Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
The project does not have any impact on the soils beyond the boundaries of the
project site since it is a zero liquid discharge unit. Physicochemical characteristics
of the soil samples obtained from 7 areas in the buffer zone and one from the
project site reveals that all basically sandy loams.
4.10 IMPACT OF SOLID WASTE
The details of hazardous waste to be generated from the proposed project, is
mentioned at Chapter -2. The current practice of storage of generated hazardous
waste, in a closed room having an impervious bottom, and disposed of as per the
prescribed guidelines will be continued for the generation of hazardous waste.
Hence, the impact due to the same will be negligible as the handling of hazardous
waste to be generated will be disposed as per guidelines. The details of
solid/Hazardous waste details are shown in below Table. The ash from boiler will be
used in the brick manufacturing. The ash of 0.5 µm to 45 µm will be used in the
cement manufacturing as a filler material, stabilization of soft soils, mineral filler in
asphaltic concrete, floor and metal castings etc.
4.10.1 MITIGATION MEASURES
To reduce the quantity of solid / hazardous waste generation as well as possible
contamination of land (soil) due to spillages / leaks from the plant operations,
following
Mitigation measures can be implemented:
There will not be any leakages / spillage from the raw-materials storage and
from the storage of generated effluent from the project.

2 Noise Level Monitoring Plant Boundary, High Noise generating areas within the plant boundary
3 Water Quality From Nearby Surface water Source and Ground Water Source
4 Soil Quality At plant Site and Nearby area
6.6. Monitoring and Data Analysis
6.6.1. Air Quality Monitoring and Data Analysis
Stack Monitoring: The emissions from all the stacks will be monitored for exit gas
temperature, velocity and pollutant concentrations. Any deviation from the design
criteria will be thoroughly examined and appropriate correction will be initiated. Air
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 PM, SO2, NOX, VOC,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,
TOC, Conductivity, DO with night vision cameras.
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 Wastewater Streams: All the segregated wastewater streams will be
regularly measured for flow rate, physico-chemical, nutrient & 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
all monitoring programmes at site and data thus generated will be regularly furnished to
the State regulatory agency. The frequency of reporting will be on monthly basis to the
local state PCB officials and six monthly reports to Regional Office of MoEF&CC. The
Environmental Audit reports will be prepared for the entire year of operations and will be
regularly submitted to regulatory authorities in Form - V (Environmental Statement).
6.8. Environmental Laboratory
Environmental laboratory will be well-equipped analytical instruments and consumable
items for monitoring of environmental parameters at the site. Alternatively, monitoring
will be continued to be outsourced to a recognized/approved laboratory. The equipment
and consumable items will be made available at the site for environmental monitoring.
The sampling is done as per the standard procedures laid down by IS: 2488. The
equipment’s will be in the Environmental Laboratory are Heating Mantle, Digital
conductivity meter, Digital pH Meter, COD Digestion Apparatus, BOD Incubator, Hot air
oven, Muffle Furnace, Thermometer, Microprocessor based conductivity meter,

4. Discussed on proposed Raw materials Hazards and their Risks in handling.
5. Discussed on Chemical reactions involved in proposed products and
assessment of Risks involved in manufacturing.
7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
Felix ventures LLP handles various chemicals, some of which are hazardous in
nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their operating temperatures
or pressures or a combination of them. Fire, explosion, toxic release or combinations
of them are the hazards associated with industrial plants using hazardous chemicals.
More comprehensive, systematic and sophisticated methods of Safety Engineering,
such as, Hazard Identification and Qualitative /Quantitative Risk Assessment have
been developed to improve upon the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial
plants, the same has been discussed in detail under their respective headings.
7.2.1 OBJECTIVES OF RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and
assessment of risks the neighboring populations are exposed to as a result of
hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible
accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc., much of this information is difficult
to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum
credible accident studies.
The risk assessment process is primarily based on likelihood of occurrence of the
risks identified and their possible hazard consequences particularly being evaluated
through hypothetical accident scenarios. With respect to the proposed project, major
risks are leaks from storage tanks, rupture of Pipelines, Spillages from containers
during transfer operations and Storage in the Ware house have been assessed. Risk
associated with the flammable storages have been determined semi-quantitatively
as the product of likelihood/probability and severity/consequence by using order of
magnitude data (risk ranking = severity/consequence factor X likelihood/probability
factor). Significance of such project related risks have been established through their
classification as high, medium, low, very low depending upon risk ranking.
It provides basis for:
The type and nature of its on-site and off-site emergency plan and,
The types of safety measures required.

7.2.2 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS
Hazard identification is carried out to ascertain the controls required and
available in order to mitigate the risk of exposure to the hazards. This would
substantially help in overcoming costly errors and prolonged delays that may
be caused due to the design changes that may be required on a later date.
Hazard assessment is carried out at the equipment design stage and the
control / mitigation measures are put in place overcome them to avoid costly
errors at a later stage.
Hazard assessment in the plant is carried out examining the, Liquid and solid
chemicals storage in the proposed ware house, production operations,
etc.),Hydrogen gas, locations to find out the adequate facilities in place to
overcome the Risks of exposure to the Hazards.
After a critical analysis of the chemicals used, stored, defined safe operating
procedures and the different manufacturing processes, the following table lists
the safety measures / installations in place and mitigation measures to
overcome the hazards.
Following are the Hazards identified in proposed project activities:
Fire Hazards due to Flammable chemicals leakage from storage tanks, pipe
line ruptures during transfer of material which may get ignited due to any
spark.
Fire Hazard due to improper earthing of storage tanks and material transfer
lines
Fire hazard due to leakage of flammable chemicals from transfer pumps gland
leaks.
Spillage of Hazardous chemicals - Solvents, Acetic acid, Hcl, Formaldehyde
which leads to Air pollution due to increase in respective chemical TLV Limits.

The basic physical effect models consist of the following.
Source strength parameters
Calculation of the outflow of liquid, vapor 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. is some cases.
7.9.2 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 or a BLEVE, 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:
For SPM control, provided cyclone separator followed by bag filter
Process gas emission control
Two stage scrubbers installed for process gas emissions
Fugitive emission control
Vent condensers to the storage tanks and
reactors
Solvents and chemicals are handling in closed system
Hazardous waste management
All the hazardous waste will be collected, stored, handled, transported and disposed to TSDF as per the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, amended time to time etc are major Act/rules/notification applicable to industry.
11 Expenditure for CSR
activities Rs. 67.5 Lakhs for five years.
11.2 CONCLUSIONS
It can be concluded on a positive note that due to the adequate provision and efficient
operation of Environmental Management Systems and after the implementation of the
proposed mitigation measures and environmental management plans, the project
activities during the construction and operation phase would have manageable & largely
have reversible impacts on the environment, and on balance the project would be
beneficial to surrounding communities and the region.
