The films of asbestos cement are picked up by an endless belt through
rubber rolls. Due to movement of felt
forward, asbestos cement layer dewatered by vacuum and transferred to conveyer
belt. The sheets are corrugated and stacked.
From the
corrugators the bogie with 50 sheets travel to a heating chamber by automatic
trolley handling system (ATHS) and are retained for 10-12 hours. In this period,
the wet cement sheet dries and achieves a hardness which renders them to be
capable of being handled and removed from the template moulds. Then dry FC
sheets will be air dried in stacks for 14-28 days to allow curing of the cement
in which process the sheets achieve full strength.
Total water requirement
will be 300 m3/day and will be sourced from the own bore wells. No
wastewater will be generated in the process.
The settling solids in slurry form from the recuperating tank will be
collected in a clarifier and reused in the process. 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 plant premises.
All the solid waste
generated will be recycled in the manufacturing process. HDPE fiber bags will be shredded in the
shredder unit attached to the bag opening device and sent along with the fiber
into fiber mill through conveyor.Acoustic enclosures will be provided to D.G.
sets. Power (1,000 KVA) will be required for the project and sourced by state
Grid. No litigation / court case is in pending against the proposal.

Plant, Ferro Alloy Plant and CPP at New Gummidipoondi, District Thiruvallur in Tamil Nadu by M/s Suryadev Alloys & Power Pvt. Limited - regarding amendment in
environmental clearance
Environmental clearance for expansion of Steel Plant (Billets-
1,40,000 to 12,50,000 TPA; Rolled products -1,40,000 to 12,00,000 TPA) and
installation of Sponge Iron Plant, Ferro Alloy Plant and CPP (2x80 MW CFBC and 18 MW of WHRB) at New Gummidipoondi, District Thiruvallur in Tamil Nadu was
accorded don 28.05.2011.
The proponent have requested the
Ministry to amend the environmental clearance as coal for the captive power
plant will be used imported as well as indigenous. The proponent also informed that they will
approach the Ministry for necessary amendment as and when they get the
indigenous coal linkage from the Ministry of Coal. The company has earlier
envisaged to use imported coal from Indonesia with sulphur content of 1.2 % and
ash content of 9 %.
The proposal for amendment was placed
before the Expert Appraisal Committee-1 (Industry) in its meeting held during
24th - 25th October, 2011. The Committee noted that the
earlier proposal was considered based on the imported coal. Once the indigenous
coal is available, they will be using indigenous coal. The Committee noted that
the coal will be transported from the Paradeep port and washed coal will be
used. The Committee also noted that the company would install boiler with technology
with thermax which can use indigenous as well as imported coal. The boiler
installed would be CFBC and it is provided with limestone feeding system to
absorb the SO2. The boiler has been designed to capture 95% of
sulphur. The ash generated would be used by the cement plant.
The Committee recommended the proposal
for use of imported as well as indigenous coal subject to stipulation of
specific condition that “in case source of fuel supply is to be changed at a
later stage from imported to indigenous coal for the captive power plant, the
project proponent shall intimate the Ministry well in advance along with
necessary requisite documents for its concurrence for allowing the change.”

The project authorities and their
consultant, M/s Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi gave a detailed presentation on the
salient features of the project as per Terms of
Reference (TORs) awarded during the 83rd meeting of the Expert Appraisal
Committee (Industry) held during 14th - 16th July, 2010
for preparation of EIA/EMP report. All the Integrated Steel Plants are
listed at S.No. 3(a) in Primary Metallurgical Industries under category ‘A’ of
the Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised
by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) of MoEF.
M/s
Kamaljeet Singh Ahluwalia have proposed for expansion of existing Sponge Iron Plant into Integrated
Steel Plant (0.5 MTPA) along with Captive Power Plant (from 8 MW to 73 MW) at Village Katsai,
District Keonjhar, Orissa. The Company has acquired 28.73 ha (71 acres) of
private land for entire project and expansion
will be carried within the existing plant. Out of 28.73
ha of plant area, 9.51 ha (33%) has been earmarked for the green belt
development along the plant boundary. No national park/ wild life sanctuary/
biosphere reserve are located within 10 km radius of the project. The water
bodies within 10 km radius include Kundra or Suna Nadi at 1.9 km, Karo River at
4.7 kms, adjoining Topodihi Nala and Kakarpani Nala at 4.3 kms from the project
site. There are 7 Reserve forests within the study area, viz., Siddhamath RF,
Lakhraghat RF, Mendhamaruni RF, Uliburu RF, Karo RF, Torha RF and Baitarni RF.
Total cost of the project is Rs. 806.74 Crores.
The
project expansion will be implemented in two phases. Presently existing
facilities are DRI plant (1 X 1,10,000 TPA), WHRB (8MW), IF (2 nos. X 10 T). It
is proposed to additionally install 2 x 1,10,000 TPA DRI Plant, MBF (1 no. X
250 cum i.e. 2.45 lakh TPA), 24 m2 Sinter plant, 175 TPH coal
washery (6.3 lakh TPA), 1 no. X 50 T Electric Arc Furnace (1no) with 1 no. X 50
T Ladle Refining Furnace (3.5 lakh TPA), 4 nos. X 10 T Induction Furnace (1.5
lakh TPA), Continuous Casting Machine, TMT Bar Rolling mill (1 lakh TPA),
Structural rolling mill (2 lakh TPA), Captive Power Plant (WHRB 2 nos. X 8 MW +
AFBC 49 MW).
The major raw materials required for the integrated
steel and power unit are Iron ore, coal & dolomite. For existing plant, the coal
requirement is being met from MCL collieries. The process
follows typical rotary kiln operations. Considering the several benefits like
good communication, infrastructural facilities, possibility of low capacity
kilns, capital cost etc. DRI technology with waste heat recovery kiln process
has been adopted.
Ambient
Air Quality for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx has
been monitored at 7 locations. Values conform to the prescribed standards. The
predominant wind direction is in NE, NW and SW. The maximum ground level
concentration of the these parameters is at a distance of 1.5km. The nearest
location of RF is at a distance of 2.0 km in the Eastern direction. With the
proposed mitigative measures, there will not be any significant impact on the
reserve forests.
ESP
will be provided at exits of WHRB & AFBC boilers to control gaseous
emissions. The exhaust gas from DRI kiln would be cleaned by dry gas cleaning
system (ESP). After Burning Chamber (ABC) and Dust Settling Chamber (DSC) will
be provisioned along with the DRI kiln. Part of the dust carried by the waste
gases will settle down at DSC. Fume extraction system, cyclone and scrubber
with water cooled duct, gas cooler, bag house/ bag filters, ID fan and stack
will be provided for induction furnace to control dust. Dust suppression and
dust extraction system like bag filters will be provided to raw material
handling section, screen, conveyer transfer etc.
Total
fresh water requirement will be 625.5 m3/hr. Presently, permission
for 700 m3/day is available for withdrawal of ground water. For
future, application has been submitted to State Government for permission to
withdraw ground water or water from the Sona/ Karo River. In view of the
present water scenario, the company intends to use its exhausted captive iron
ore mine pits to store rain water to meet the entire plants annual requirement,
present within at a distance of 1.5 km-5 km. Cooling tower blow down will be
treated. Demineralization plant will be installed to meet the requirement of
boiler. Oil and water will be separated from the various units and wastewater
will be recycled and reused. All the effluent will be treated and used for ash
handling, dust suppression and green belt development. No effluent will be
discharged outside during non monsoon period. Domestic effluent will be treated
through septic tank soak pit arrangement.
DRI
Char and Coal fines will be used as fuel feed in AFBC boiler. SMS scrap will be
recycled and reused in the process. Iron ore fines will be sold to sinter
and pelletization units. Bottom ash will be used in road making and land
filling. Kiln dust, kiln accretion and scale will be used for land filling. The Committee recommended that no land
filling is allowed for solid waste.
Total power requirement of the complex for operating different facilities is estimated as 73 MW, which will be met from captive generation. Additionally DG sets will be provided to meet emergency situation. Total 49 MW captive power will be generated through AFBC and 24 MW from WHRB.

29.3.6 Expansion and change in pulping process by installation of
de-inking facility for manufacturing of paper including news print at Cheranmahadevi, District Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu by M/s Sun Paper Mill Limited - regarding Environmental
Clearance
The project authorities 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 by SEIAA, Tamilnadu on 22.10.2010 for preparation of
EIA/EMP. Paper manufacturing industry without pulp manufacturing is listed at S.No. 5(i) under category
‘B’ of the Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and
appraised at the state level. Due to the non functioning of SEIAA, Tamilnadu at
present, the proposal is appraised by the Expert Appraisal Committee
(Industry-1) of MoEF.
M/s Sun Paper Mill
Limited have
proposed for expansion
and change in pulping process by installation of de-inking facility (120 TPD of
pulp) for manufacturing of 75 ton of paper including news print at Cheranmahadevi, District Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu.
The existing plant is operating since 1966.
Upon
commissioning of the deinking plant, the existing wood pulping and associated
equipments and machinery would operate on a standby mode. The proposed project involve
the inclusion of de-inking plant along
with the present process stream. There will be no change in the production
capacity or increase in the water/power requirement. The project will utilize
the existing cogeneration plant with the present capacity of 6.0 MWH for its
power requirement. When the project is in full-operational phase, the facility
would discontinue the existing wood pulping section. The only raw material
during full-operational phase would be only wastepaper. The proposed deinking
plant would be located within the existing production facility in western side
of the existing chipper house and eastern side of the existing chemical
go-down.
Ambient
Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at ten locations. The TSPM
and RSPM are observed to vary from 65.8 to 119.5 µg/m3 and 18.3 to
33.8 µg/m3 respectively. Sulphur dioxide and Oxides of nitrogen are
observed to be <4.0 to 6.9 µg/m3 and 5.6 to 12.4 µg/m3
respectively. All the above parameters are well within the prescribed
standards. There will not be any generation of SPM, NOx, SO2, CO,
and CO2 emissions from the proposed de-inking plant. Upon
commissioning of the de-inking plant, one of the existing boilers (12 Ton)
would be kept as a standby. Air pollution modeling, carried out for the
proposed de-inking plant shows that resultant concentrations of SO2 (6.3 µg/m3),
NOx (1.9 µg/m3) and SPM (0.4 µg/m3) are well within the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for rural residential and other areas.
The
project will source its entire water requirement from Thamiraparani River. The
total daily fresh water requirement of the proposed and existing plant is about
1,818 m3/day. There is no additional water requirement. The project
will not extract groundwater and hence there will be no impact on ground water.
The wastewater generated will be treated in the existing effluent treatment
plant and the final treated effluent meeting the TNPCB norms is used for
irrigation in the plant premises. On full operation of the de-inking process,
the wood pulping process will be stopped, which will results in the reduction
of pollution load to ETP. Strom water drain in the proposed de-inking plant
will be collected through storm drain and suitably diverted to rain water harvesting
pits and the over flow from the Rain Water Harvesting pits will be diverted to
near by nallah.
The total solid waste generation from
the plant would be around 25 Ton per day. Fly ash from the existing
co-generation plant and the sludge from the proposed de-inking plant will be
the source of solid waste. The sludge upon treatment and proper mixing with
biomass would be used as fuel. The sludge is also being proposed to be sold to
paper board manufacturing units for usage as raw material. The ash generated in
the Cogeneration Plant shall be utilized for road laying works within the
plant, utilized as bed material for boiler and shall also be given to local
villages for road laying works, filling up of low lying areas, etc.
The
Committee deliberated on the issues raised during the Public Hearing / Public
Consultation meeting conducted by the Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board on 4th February, 2011. The public has welcomed the project w.r.t
the pollution control measures and socio economic development being doine by

24. Vehicular pollution control and its
management plan should be submitted.
25. Ambient air quality at 8 locations
within the study area of 10 km., aerial coverage from project site with one
AAQMS in downwind direction should be carried out.
26. The suspended particulate matter
present in the ambient air must be analyzed for the presence of poly-aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAH), i.e. Benzene soluble fraction. Chemical characterization of
RSPM.
27. Determination of atmospheric inversion
level at the project site and assessment of ground level concentration of
pollutants from the stack emission based on site-specific meteorological
features.
28. Air quality modeling for all the
plants proposed including mine for specific pollutants needs to be done. APCS
for the control of emissions within 50 mg/Nm3 should be included.
29. Action plan to follow National Ambient
Air Quality Emission Standards issued by the Ministry vide G.S.R. No. 826(E)
dated 16th November, 2009 should be included.
30.
Ambient
air quality monitoring modeling along with cumulative impact should be included
for the day (24 hrs) for maximum GLC along with following :
i) Emissions (g/second) with and without
the air pollution control measures
ii) Meteorological inputs (wind speed,
m/s), wind direction, ambient air temperature, cloud cover, relative humidity
& mixing height) on hourly basis
iii) Model input options for terrain, plume
rise, deposition etc.
iv) Print-out of model input and output on
hourly and daily average basis
v) A graph of daily averaged
concentration (MGLC scenario) with downwind distance at every 500 m interval
covering the exact location of GLC.
vi) Details of air pollution control
methods used with percentage efficiency that are used for emission rate
estimation with respect to each pollutant
vii) Applicable air quality standards as
per LULC covered in the study area and % contribution of the proposed plant to
the applicable Air quality standard. In case of expansion project, the
contribution should be inclusive of both existing and expanded capacity.
viii) No. I-VII are to be repeated for
fugitive emissions and any other source type relevant and used for industry
ix) Graphs of monthly average daily
concentration with down-wind distance
x) Specify when and where the ambient air
quality standards are exceeded either due to the proposed plant alone or when
the plant contribution is added to the background air quality.
xi) Fugitive dust protection or dust
reduction technology for workers within 30 m of the plant active areas.
31. Impact of the transport of the raw
materials and end products on the surrounding environment should be assessed
and provided.
