Environmental clearance
24.2.1
Proposed Titanium Sponge Unit (500 TPA) at 202, Block-18,
Panmana, Karunagappally, Chavara, Dist-Kollam, Kerala by M/s Kerala Minerals and Metals Limited – regarding Environmental Clearance
The project authorities
and their consultant, M/s Ultra-Tech Environmental Consultancy &
Laboratory, Pune 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 11th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1)
held during 24th – 26th June, 2010 for preparation
of EIA/EMP Report. All the Primary
Metallurgical Industries are listed at S.No. 3(a) in Category ‘A’ under the
schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised at the Central level.
M/s Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd. (KMML) have
proposed for the Titanium Sponge Unit (500 TPA) at 202, Block-18, Panmana,
Karunagappally, Chavara, Dist-Kollam, Kerala. Defense Metallurgical Research
laboratory (DMRL) will supply the know-how & basic engineering and KMML
will set up and operate the plant in their premises, including supply of the
main raw material, Titanium Tetrachloride (Tickle).Total project area is 23 acres
on the south-east end of the KMML complex and is already in possession. No
national park/wild life sanctuary/reserve forests are located within 10 km
radius of the project site. The sea is at a distance of 1.0 km from the plant. Total
cost of the project is Rs. 143.11 Crores.
Raw
material viz.Titanium Tetrachloride (Tickle; 1,988 TPA), Magnesium Ingots
(513 TPA), Argon (50,100 Nm3), Caustic lye (45 TPA) and 3% HCl (5.01
TPA) will be used in the process as raw material with recovery and recycle of
Magnesium. Titanium Tetrachloride (Pigment grade) is produced as an
intermediate product within the nearby sister unit, which will be pumped to the
existing site for production of Titanium Sponge. Titanium is known for corrosive resistance,
high strength and low density and used as strategic metal in the production of
spacecrafts, aero engines and air frame structures in civilian and military
aircrafts. Titanium alloy components
will be used in satellite launch vehicles (SLVs), rockets and missiles besides
thermal & nuclear power plant, particles and petro chemical plants.
Titanium sponge will be manufactured
using Kroll process. Major impurities in
Tickle will be Tin (Sn-70 PPM), Si (37 PPM), Fe (4 PPM), Al (12 PPM), dissolved
gases (O2, N2, CO2, & HCl) and dissolved
solids such as TiOCl2. Tickle
produced by the existing TiO2 pigment plant will be pumped to the
storage vessels located in Tickle Purification Plant, wherein a moisture free
environment is maintained by providing Argon blanket. Silicon Tetrachloride,
Tin tetra chloride and dissolved gases will be removed as distillate from the
reflux condenser, the off grade material will be recycled to recover residual
TiCl4 and Chloride vapors trap TiOCl2. The distillate rich in TiCl4 will
be condensed in a condenser & collected and Purified tickle will be pumped
to the metal production section. In Kroll process, Titanium tetrachloride will
be reduced to Titanium sponge by reacting with molten magnesium, TiCl4
+ 2 Mg (830 0C) → Ti + 2 MgCl2. The titanium sponge will be purified by
pyro-vaccum distillation.
Reduction process is carried out in
‘Reduction furnace’ ‘reactor’ by charging with required quantity of Magnesium
and supply of 30 0C. Titanium
tetrachloride and MgCl2 is tapped during the reduction process. Reaction mass in the reactor is cooled to
about 700 0C by circulating air around the reactor and to room
temperature by vacuum distillation. After cooling, sponge is ejected from the
reactor and is subjected to primary cleaning, shredding, screening, blending
and final packing in drums under Argon atmosphere.
Vents from tickle storage vessels
and the reflux & distillate receiver vessels will be connected to exhaust
system to vent gases from Tickle Purification Section and bleed offs from the
metal production unit (HCl fumes) which will be scrubbed and vented to the
atmosphere. The scrubbed solution will be sent to equalization tank for
neutralization. The suction line will consist of ID fan and cyclone system.
Argon blanket will be provided to ensure moisture free atmosphere and stored in
double walled vessel with safety valves, rupture discs etc. 30 m stack to
ventilation and exhaust system and 24 m to DG sets will be provided. Special
glandless/seal less canned motor pumps will be used for handling Tickle to
avoid any leakage of chloride into the atmosphere. Internal roads will be provided to control
fugitive emissions.
Water
requirement will be 362 m3/day, of which 332 m3/day will
be for process, 20 m3/day for domestic usage and 10 m3/day
will be for gardening. The water will be sourced from the ground water. Acidic
effluent will be generated from the Magnesium pickling process & alkaline
bleed material from caustic scrubber and used for scrubbing vent gases &
process wash material. The effluent will
be collected and neutralized using caustic lye and neutralized effluent after
removing residual sludge will be discharged to sea through the existing discharge
pipeline of KMML. Scrubbed liquid by caustic lye scrubber will be neutralized
in equalization tank. All the effluent from Magnesium pickling section,
residual caustic from vent gas scrubber, tray/lid washing, wash/regeneration
from softening plant will be collected in equalization tank, neutralized in
neutralization tank and discharged to sea after meeting KSPCB norms. 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.
The solid waste will be generated in
the form of filtered cake and magnesium chloride as byproduct. Used oil will be
sold to authorized recyclers.
The power requirement is 5.58 mVA, which will be sourced
from State Electricity Board. Electricity connection is
obtained for 8.12 MW. DG set of 2,000 KVA capacity will be installed as
stand by.

total project area is 5.0 Acres (2.02 Ha) and greenbelt will developed in 1.75
acres (0.708 ha) of plant area. The total project cost is Rs. 867 Lakhs and the
capital cost & recurring cost for EMP is Rs.85 Lakhs and Rs.10 Lakhs/annum
respectively.
The manufacturing process involves
blending of ore, charging on the SAF, smelting in the furnace, tapping of the
molten alloys, casting & cooling on the dressed sand bed etc. The total
power required for the proposed project is 18 MW and will be sourced from CSEB.
The suspended particulate matter
generated from SAF will be controlled by installation of cyclone and bag filter
limiting to 50 mg/Nm3. Fugitive emissions from storage areas and
production blocks will be collected and passed through common bag filter to
limit the SPM to 50 mg/Nm3.
Water requirement of 65m3/day
will be sourced from the borewell/CSIDC. The wastewater generated from cooling
tower blow down will be used for Slag cooling and 6 KLD of domestic wastewater
will be treated in Septic tank followed by soak pit or used for greenbelt
development. No wastewater will be discharged outside the premises.
The slag (25,500 TPA) generated from
manufacturing of ferro alloys will be used for preparation of blocks, wall
construction or tiles manufacturing. The sludge from STP will be used as manure
for green belt development.
