22.2.2 Proposed Asbestos Cement pipes and sheets
manufacturing Unit (Asbestos Cement Sheet - 1,25,000 TPA and Asbestos Cement
Pressure Pipe - 1,00,000 TPA) at “Pandaul Industrial Area” under Bihar
Industrial Area Development Authority (BIADA) Village Sagarpur, Tehsil Hati, District Madhubani in Bihar by M/s
A Infrastructure Limited – regarding Environmental Clearance
The project authorities and their
consultant, M/s J.M Environet, Gurgaon, gave a detailed presentation on the
salient features of the project and proposed environmental protection measures
to be undertaken as per Terms of Reference (TORs) awarded during the 13th
Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee
(Industry-1) held during 26th – 28th August, 2010
for preparation of EIA/EMP Report. All the Asbestos Fibre Sheet Manufacturing
Cement Plants have been listed at Sl. No. 4(c) of Schedule of EIA Notification,
2006 as Category ‘A’ and have to be appraised at the Centre.
M/s A
Infrastructure Limited (AIL) have proposed for Asbestos Cement Pressure pipes and sheets manufacturing Unit (Asbestos
Cement Sheet 1,25,000 TPA and Asbestos Cement Pressure Pipe 1,00,000 TPA) at
“Pandaul Industrial Area” under Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority
(BIADA) Village Sagarpur, Tehsil Hati,
District Madhubani in Bihar. The total area required for the
proposed project is 6.91 Ha, which is acquired and 2.28 ha (33 % of total
project area) will be developed as green belt/plantation. No
National Park, Wildlife sanctuary, Tiger/Elephant reserve, Reserved/Protected
Forest are present within the study area of 10 Km. radius. Total estimated cost of the project is
Rs 90.0 Crores and Rs. 4.5 Crores & Rs. 18 Lakhs will be earmarked towards
capital cost & recurring cost/annum for environmental pollution control
measures.
Chrysotile asbestos,
Ordinary Portland cement would be used as raw materials. Raw
asbestos fibre received in pressure packed sealed bags will be fed to bag opening
device (BOD) which cuts the bag automatically and transfers the fibre to lump
breaker and empty bags to shredder machine. The milled fibre in wet condition
is transferred to fibre silo through a bucket elevator and drawn from its
bottom automatically to a weighing hopper before mixing with water, cement
& fly ash in the subsequent equipment. Thus, the asbestos fibre will be
handled in pneumatically closed loop.
All
the sections of plant viz. BOD, Shredder machine, Cement & Fly ash silos,
cement & fly ash hoppers & turbo mixer are connected to dust collection
system. Stack of adequate height as per CPCB norms will be provided for
dispersion of pollutants. Ambient air quality and stack emissions will be
regularly monitored to ensure the ambient air quality standards
The water requirement for
the proposed project is 500 m3/day which will be met from the bore
well. As per the letter no. CGWB/MER/CGWA/2010-101 dated 23.01.2011, Pandaul
Block, with stage of groundwater development as 51 % comes under the safe block
category as per the Ground Water Resource Estimation (2004) and hence, NOC from
CGWA is not required. Zero effluent discharge will be practiced by recycling
the process waste water for dust suppression, plantation etc. and domestic
waste water will be disposed off in soak pit via septic tank.
No solid waste will be
generated in the manufacturing process. Dust collected from air pollution
control equipment will be 100% recycled in process. Cuttings in wet form will
be directly fed to the main process whereas dry cuttings will be initially wet
ground and then recycled back in the process. The solid waste generated such as
pipe & sheet cuttings, rejects, dust from bag filters and empty asbestos
bags after shredding will be recycled and reused in the manufacturing process.
Public
hearing in this case is not required as the unit is located in the notified
industrial area.

reg.
The project authorities and their consultant,
M/s Pioneer Enviro Laboratories & Consultant Pvt. Ltd. gave a detailed
presentation on the salient features of the project and proposed environmental
protection measures to be undertaken along with the draft TORs for preparation
of EIA/EMP. All the
Cement Plants (> 1.0 MTPA) are listed at S.No. 3(b) under category ‘A’ of
the Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised at the Central level.
M/s. India Cement Ltd. is an existing plant having
clinkering and cement plant at Chilamkur Village, Yerraguntla Mandal, Y.S.R.
District in Andhra Pradesh. Now they propose to enhance the clinker production
capacity from 4200 TPD to 4500 TPD by
optimization of production by debottlenecking.
Nearest village Chilamakur is at a distance of 1.9 Kms. from the proposed
project site. No national parks / biosphere reserves / ecologically
sensitive areas are located within 10 km radius of the project area. Total land in their possession is
579.88 Acres. This proposed capacity enhancement of Clinker will be taken up within
the existing plant premises only. There will
not be any additional Investment for the proposed Optimization of production by
debottlenecking project. Public hearing for the existing plant was held on 29th
March, 2007 under the 14th September 2006 EIA Notification.
Following is the plant configuration

Limestone (6060 TPD), Iron ore (275 TPD), Laterite /
Bauxite (235 TPD), Coal (575 TPD) will be used as total raw material after enhancement of
clinkering unit.
Water required for the proposed enhancement will be
133 m3/day which will be sourced from Pennuru river. The additional water requirement for the proposed
enhancement project will also be met from Penneru river. Govt. of Andhra
Pradesh has granted permission to draw 4500 m3/d of water from the river.
The
dust collected in the APCS will be recycled in to the process. Hence there will
not be any Solid waste generation from the process due to the proposed
enhancement. There will not be any Hazardous waste generation from the process
due to the proposed enhancement.
About
223 acres of area has already been developed under green belt.
The Committee noted that No
additional land is required for the proposed capacity enhancement, no
additional plant & machinery is required, the present proposal is to achieve
higher clinker Production by debottlenecking, enhancement in Clinker production
capacity of around 7.0 % of existing capacity using energy efficient
technology, low ash Imported Coal, zero effluent discharge, entire solid waste
will be utilized in the process itself.
The Committee noted that there will be no increase in air
pollution, marginal increase in wastewater generation, no additional investment
required. Committee suggested that
prospective plan to replace the existing plant with a new one considering the
excess energy being used by the existing plant may be submitted.

Iron ore, coal, dolomite for sponge iron plant, sponge iron, scrap, ferro
alloy for SMS, MS Billets for Rolling mill, Manganese ore, quartz, petcoke for
Ferro alloys, dolochar & coal for Power plant will be used as Raw materials.
Coal will be sourced from Hospet /Bellary.
Sponge Iron will be manufactured in coal based Direct Reduction (DR)
kilns. Billets will be manufactured by melting in Induction furnace and
casting in continuous casting machine. Rolled products will be manufactured in
reheating furnace and coal fired rolling mill. Manganese ore along with
coke and other additives will be melted in submerged arc furnace (SAF) to
produce ferro alloys. Raw materials will be mixed in a proper proportion before
being charged into the furnace. As the charge enters the smelting zone, the
alloy formed by chemical reactions between oxides and the reductants being
heavy, gradually will settle at the bottom. At regular intervals, the furnace
will be tapped. Liquid metal will be collected in a ladle followed by CI pans
and slag will be overflowed to sand beds. After solidification, the cakes will
be broken manually to required lump size. Waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB) and
AFBC boiler will be installed.
Electrostatic
precipitator (ESP) will be provided to DRI kiln and AFBC boiler to control
particulate emissions within 50 mg/Nm3. Bag filters will be
installed to control emissions from induction furnace and rolling mill.
Flue gases for DRI plant will be utilized in Waste heat recovery boiler (WHRB)
and passed through ESP and then into atmosphere through ID fans and
chimney. Hot gases for DRI plant will pass through dust settling chamber
(DSC) and after burning chamber (ABC), WHRB and stack. Fume extraction system with
ID fan will be provided to IF & Ferro Alloys units. Dust suppression
(chemical and dry fog type) will be provided to control emissions. Bag
filters will be provided to material handling areas, coal handling areas,
crusher, stock house, cooler discharge area, screening area etc.

so that no effluent is discharged from the proposed plants. Only make up water
will be fed into the plant. The treated effluent will be used for ash
conditioning, dust suppression and green belt development. Service water will
be passed through oil separator to remove oil content in the effluent.
Domestic effluent will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit. No
effluent will be discharged outside the premises and Zero discharge will be
adopted. Rain water harvesting structure will be constructed.
Char from DRI process will be used in AFBC boiler as fuel. Dust from air
pollution control devices (APCD) will be partly used in the plant and partly
for land and/or abandoned mines filling slag from Induction Furnace will be
used for road making and land filling. Bottom ash will be used for low
land filling. Fly ash from AFBC power plant will be sold to fly ash brick manufacturers
and cement grinding units. Ferro-Manganese
slag will be used in the manufacture of Ferro-Silicon/Silico Manganese.
Ferro-Silicon slag will be used in the manufacture of Silico-Manganese instead
of being used as sub-base material for road construction.
Silico-Manganese slag will be used for land filling. Waste
oil and used batteries will be sold to authorized
recyclers/re-processors.
