M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 20 of 263
The products categories are Active Pharmaceuticals Ingredients (APIs) and
Chemical Intermediates. Presently SLC is manufacturing 1 product namely 5
Cyanophthalide with production capacity of 36 MTPA. For the present
proposal, SLC proposes to revise the existing product capacity to 96 MTPA
and add 7 more new products with capacity of 240 MTPA to a total of 8
products with capacity of 336 MTPA. The existing and proposed products
details are provided in the below Table 2.
Table-2 Existing and Proposed Products with Capacity
2.4.5 Resource Optimization/Recycling and Re-Use Envisaged in theIndustry
Solvent Recovery & Re-Use:
Solvents do not contribute to the effectiveness of the drug, with the exception
of forming the desired solvate in the final product. However, solvents play an
essential role in chemical processing for controlling the reaction rate,
facilitating heat and mass transfer and enabling product separation and
purification, which cannot be replaced easily with other alternatives.
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 58 of 263
Various solvents are proposed to be used during the process of manufacture
of APIs. The solvents proposed to be recovered and recycled during the
process of manufacture of each product are detailed in Table 2-6.

Solvent Recovery System:1. After the reaction is complete the solvents are recovered in a distillation
unit.
2. The distillation unit has two condensers in series (shell and tube type).
3. The first condenser is passed with cooling tower water, while the second
condenser will have chilled brine solution at -20 to -0 oC as coolants.
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 59 of 263
4. After the vapors are condensed, the condensate along with un-condensed
vapors is passed through a trap which is cooled externally with chilled
water.
5. The vents of condenser and receiver are connected to scrubber system.
6. All the reaction vessels and centrifuges are connected to a common line.
These fumes and exhausts are sucked by ID fan and scrubbed by alkali
solution.
7. The air after scrubbing is let out into the atmosphere and the scrubbed
water is sent to MEE for further treatment.
8. This wet scrubber absorbs acidic vapors, traces of solvents etc. and
purified gas stream is let out into the atmosphere.
9. SLC is achieving around ~95% efficiency in solvent recovery system and it
will be re-used for the process.
The typical solvent recovery system is depicted in Figure 2-6

Justification for number of products and number of reactors:
The existing product is one number, new products are 7 numbers, and thus
the total proposed products are 8 numbers. The number of existing reactors is
15 numbers with different capacities for the purpose of running reaction, work-
up, solvents distillation and product isolation purpose.
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 70 of 263
The existing product is only one numbers, existing number of reactors are 15,
the number of reactors may seem more with respect to number of existing
products, not all the reactors were in use. All these reactors were present
when factory was acquired by SLC management from Sree Chemicals in
2010.
No additional Machineries & Equipments are required for the proposed
expansion.

3.6 PIA District Profile
The Bidar district is the northern most part of the Karnataka state with
geographical area of 5460 sq.km. It lies between 17°35’ and 18°29’ North
latitude and 76°41’ to 77°39’ East longitude. It is bounded by Nizamabad and
Medak districts of Andhra Pradesh state on the eastern side, Latur and
Osmanabad districts of Maharastra state on the western side, Nanded district
of Maharastra state on the northern side and Gulbarga district on southern
side.
The entire district forms a part of the Deccan Plateau and is made up mostly
of solidified lava. The northern part of the district is characterized by expanses
of level and treeless surface punctuated here and there by flat and undulating
hillocks, black soils and basaltic rocks. The southern half of the district is a
high plateau about 715 m above mean sea level and are well drained. The
average elevation of the district is between 580 to 610 m above mean sea
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 78 of 263
level. Alluvial deposit is normally found along the banks of the Manjra river
and its main tributaries.
3.6.1 Climatic Conditions
The district experiences semi-arid climate with extreme summer. The dust
storms and severe heat waves are common in the district between April and
May. The temperature begins to rise towards the end of February till May,
which is the hottest month of the year. Coldest months are December and
January. The temperature varies in the district between 20 ºC and 42 ºC.
The year in the district may be divided into summer season from March to
May, southwest monsoon season from June to September, post-monsoon
season from October to November and winter season from December to
February.
Generally, the monsoon sets in the month of June and reaches its climax in
the month of September. The rainfall generally is spread over 39 to 53 days.
Nearly 75% to 80% of the annual rainfall is during the period of Southwest
monsoon. A few showers are also received during the North- East Monsoon,
generally in the month of December.
Bidar district receives an average rainfall of 827 mm. The normal annual
rainfall over thedistrict ranges from 735 mm to 860 mm.

3.7 Natural Resources of Bidar PIA District
3.7.1 Flora & Fauna
Flora: The weeds and climber found in the forest of the district are not of
much economic value. Some different type of grass which grows in the area
are not of nutrient type for the cattle and therefore useful for thatching roof of
huts and houses. The minor forest produce consist tupra (beedi) leaves,
rousa grass, seetaphal, honey, wax, tamarind and mango fruits. The most
common shrubs are Bikke (Gardenia gummifera, Linn) and Gotti or Challe
(Ziziphus xylopyrus willd). They are mostly used for fencing the fields. The
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 79 of 263
following are the tree species found in the district: Acacia arabica (Jali or
babul), Tamarindus indica, linn (Hunase), Butea frondosa, Palash,
Anogeissus latifolia, wall (Dindiga), and Hardwickia binata.
Fauna: The scantiness of forest accounts for almost a total absence of
denizens of the forest that can be said to belong to the big game variety.
There is no tiger. Occasionally, leopard may be seen. Wolves are found in the
craggy portion of the undulating forest. As many as 30 varieties of bats are
found in the district. Heads of the small deer appears during winter. The more
important among the domesticated animals are the buffalo, the cow, the
sheep, the goat and the camel.Flora and fauna of PIA are discussed in
section 3.11.
3.7.2 Forest Resources
Forest areas of Bidar division are classified as Reserve forests, Protected
forests and Unclassified forests.Bidar Forest division is having 43,592 ha. of
Forest area including
Reserve Forests, Protected forests and Unclassified forests. This area is
about 8.5% of total geographical extent of the district.
3.7.3 Irrigation
In the district the irrigation takes place from surface water and ground water.
The surface water irrigation is through canals, tanks and from medium and
minor irrigation projects. Major irrigation dam has been constructed across the
Karanja river and medium irrigation dam constructed across Chukkenala and
Mullamari rivers. From ground water the irrigation is through dug wells, dug
cum bore wells and bore wells..
3.7.4 Agricultural Resources
The main occupation of the people in the district is agriculture and related
operations.
There are two main seasons in which agricultural practices are carried out.
The two seasons are Kharif and Rabi. Khariff season commences from June
and the crops are harvested in September. Rabi season commences from
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 80 of 263
September and crops harvested in Febuaray. Themain food crops are Jowar,
Paddy, Wheat, Bajra, Maize and pulses. Groundnut, sugarcane and cotton
are the cash crops.
Cereals- Paddy,Jowar,Bajra,Maize
Pulse- Wheat Black gram, Bengalgram,Green Gram and RedGram\Horticulture-Banana,Mango,Papaya,Grapes,Potato TomatoBrijal,
i. In the surface water the pH varies between 6.9-7.76, which are
meeting the IS 10500:2012 for Drinking Water.
ii. The Total Dissolved Solids range varies between 243 mg/l – 374 mg/l
for the surface water. The TDS values are within the acceptable limit of
IS 10500:2012.
iii. The desirable limit of the chloride content is 250mg/l and permissible
limit is 1000 mg/l. The chloride content in the surface water for study
area is ranges between 18.5 mg/l – 38.8 mg/l.
iv. The desirable limit of the sulphate content is 200mg/l and permissible
limit is 400mg/l. The sulphate content of the surface water of the study
area varies between 10.4 mg/l – 15.8 mg/l meeting the desirable limit
of the IS 10500: 2012.
v. The Total hardness ranges is between 107 mg/l - 165 mg/l, within the
acceptable limit of IS 10500: 2012.
3.10.2 Ground water resources
The resource estimation and categorization is carried out as per the
recommendations of ‘Ground Water Resources Estimation Methodology - 97
(GEM -97) considering water shed as a unit. Water shed and hydrological
boundaries do not match with the administrative boundaries. As a result
different parts of taluk fall in different watersheds having different stages of
ground water development and categorization. Pro-rata approach to
consolidate the watershed data into Talukwise data gives only details on
ground water resource, draft, and additional irrigation potential. Pro rata
approach cannot be applied for taluk, as a unit, as far as stage of
development and categorization is concerned. It is observed that Aurad and
Humanabad taluks are completely under safe category. 88% of Bhalki and
91% of Basavakalyan taluks are safe and 79% of Bidar taluk is safe while rest
M/s. Sri Lakshmi chemicals -EIA/EMP report
Page 127 of 263
of 21% comes under over exploited area. No area comes under the category
of semi-critical. The overall stage of ground water development in the district
has reached 56.68%. Thus regionally the situation appears to be quite good,
however few areas of the district have attained over exploited stage. In such
areas site specific recharge structures coupled with water conservation
measures are the need of the hour.
The groundwater potential of the gross geographical area of the basin is
estimated on pro-rata basis from the district-wise groundwater resources-
2008 published by the Central Groundwater Board (CGWB) as given in Table3-20. Status of Ground Water Utilisation of Bidar District is given in Figure3-26

Fugitive emission control
Sri Lakshmi Chemicals has some action plan to control fugitive emission fromreactors. The following is the action plan
The outfall of reactor is connected to primary condenser,
Then outlet of primary condenser is passes through the secondary condenser,emission passes through condenser will get condense.
The condensed emission will be recycled to process.
From vapor condenser cloud it again recycled to reactor,
In case of leakage of emission due to damage will detect manually and repairhappen.
Thus the fugitive emission is arrested
Odour Control
All the waste generated are properly stored and disposed.
Page 239 of 263
The emissions are properly vent out through stacks of adequate height.
All the chemicals including products are handled in closed manner to control
the odour.
9.4.2 Noise Environment
The major source of noise pollution in the industry is DG sets, boilers, reactors, Air
compressors, Boiler feed water pumps. DG sets are provided with integral acoustic
enclosures. Also the ambient noise levels will be ensured within the ambient
standards by inbuilt design of mechanical equipment and buildings apart from
vegetation along the periphery and at various locations within the industry premises.
The plant will be specifically designed with due consideration on minimizing noise
pollution. Higher noise levels will be felt only near the active working areas and
therefore the workers are provided with personal protective equipment as a safety
measure.
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact of operation phase of
the project on the surrounding noise environment.
i. All the noise generating equipments will be designed / operated to ensure
that noise level does not exceed 75-70 dB (A) at plant boundary as per the
requirement of Central / State Pollution Control Board.
ii. Noise generating sources will be maintained properly to minimize noise
generated by them.
iii. Wherever feasible, acoustic enclosures will be provided for compressors, DG
iv. Compliance with noise control norms will be given due importance at the time
of purchase of various equipments and it will be mentioned while placing the
purchase orders and guarantee for noise standards will be sought from
suppliers.
v. Moreover, all the personnel working in other high noise generating areas too
will be provided with sufficient ear protecting devices.
vi. Green belt will act as a noise barrier.
vii. Training will be imparted to personnel to generate awareness about effects of
noise and importance of using PPEs.

9.4.3 Water and Wastewater Management
Total water requirement is 24.8 KLD of which fresh water requirement is 13.3 KLD;
Water source from the KIADB and Private tankers.
Zero liquid discharge system will be maintained in the facilities. The wastewater
management is detailed in the Chapter 4 & Section 4.2.8.2.
9.4.4 Solid and Hazardous waste Management
Solid and hazardous wastes generated in the facility and their disposal methods are
detailed in the Chapter 2 & Section 2.6.5.
9.4.4.1 Solvent Recovery
Solvent Recovery & Re-Use is detailed in the Chapter 2 and Section 2.4.5.
9.4.4.2 Land Environment
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during operational
phase of the project on the land environment.
Air emissions are effectively controlled by use of scrubbers and therefore
deposition of air pollutants in and around the premises and surrounding area is
not envisaged.
Disposal of solid waste is carried out through authorized vendor.
Plant is being maintained ZLD. No effluent is discharged directly on land without
treatment., impact on the land environment is not envisaged.
Hazardous materials are prohibited to be drained or dumped in the premises.
Accidental spills shall be cleaned, reported and monitored.
Thus, no impact on land is envisaged due to discharge of gaseous emission,
solid waste or liquid effluent from the proposed increment in the production
capacity.
9.4.5 Ecology
The proposed project is equipped with the treatment system and the treated effluent
will be recycled to cooling tower and boiler feed through softener. Solid wastes
generated during the operation phase are disposed off through authorized vendor
Page 241 of 263
and hence no impact is anticipated due to solid waste in and around the site. The
air pollution control devices are already in place in the facility will control release of
air pollutants to a greater extent, however green belt consisting of shrubs and trees
around the periphery of the site has been planned to intercept and arrest air
pollutants released at various heights and to attenuate the increased quantity of air
pollutants released into the environment. It is expected that the ecology of the
region is preserved by these mitigation measures.
9.4.6 Socio – Economic Environment
Due to the proposed project various modes of indirect employment i.e.
transportation, increased business opportunities to shopkeepers, small scale
business entrepreneurs etc. will help for the development of local area.

9.9 Rainwater Harvesting & Groundwater Recharging
The total amount/quantity of water i.e., received in the form of rainfall over an area
is called the rain water endowment of that area, out of which the amount of water
that can be effectively harvested is called the rain water harvesting potential.
The collection efficiency accounts for the fact that all the rain water falling over an
area cannot be effectively harvested due to losses on account of evaporation,
spillage or run off etc.,
The rain water harvesting/recharging pits along the inner periphery of the boundary
will be provided. Each recharging pit will be of 3x3x2m (LBD) dimension. These
recharging pits are filled with graded media comprising of boulder at bottom and
with coarse aggregates to facilitate percolation of harvested rainwater to recharge
ground water table. The recharge pits are interconnected in such a way that the rain
led to the first recharge pit is also led to the next pit. Rain water harvesting is the
Page 256 of 263
techniques through which rain water is captured from the roof catchments with
closed pipe system (without mixing surface water to avoid the spillage
contamination) into the recharge pits. The rain water harvesting and storm water
management layout is provided in the Annexure 8.
Ground coverage = 1303 Sq. mt
Collection efficiencies of 80% = 1042.4 Sq. mt

In order to effectively implement the EMP planned, the environmental management
system will be fully adhered.
10.2 Conclusion
The baseline study carried out for the study area indicates that all the physical,
chemical and biological characteristics of the environmental attributes in the
surrounding area are mostly within the permissible limits except few minor
exceedences.
Based on this environmental assessment, the possible impacts during post-project
phase are anticipated and the necessary adequate control measures are formulated
to meet the statutory compliances.
With very minute negative impacts, the project positively leads to commercial
business opportunities, Employment opportunities, increased revenue and
infrastructural development.
Thus this project may kindly be granted Environmental Clearance.
