CHAPTER – 1
INTRODUCTION
1.0 PREAMBLE
The Indian sugar industry is the country’s second largest agro-processing industry with an annual
production capacity of over 18 Million Tons of sugar. At present, the total turnover of the industry is
about $5000 Million with the total capital employed touching $ 4000 Million. About 45 million farmers
and their families depend directly on sugar industries. Only 2.5 % of the area is under cultivation of
sugar cane of total cultivated area in India. In the year 1999-2000, the sugar produced in India was
a record 19.7 Million Tons.
In India the annual per capita consumption of White Crystal Sugar and that of Non-centrifugal sugar
is 15 Kg per Annum and 20.5 Kg per Annum respectively. The annual overall consumption of the
centrifugal and non-centrifugal sugar in the country comes to more than 25 Million Tones. Thus,
there is vast untapped potential for growth in the area of sugar production.
Alcohol has assumed a very important place in the country’s economy. It is a vital raw material for a
number of chemicals. It has been a source of revenue by way of excise duty levied by the State
Government on alcoholic liquors. It has a potential as fuel in the form of power alcohol for blending
with petrol in the ratio of 20:80. Alcohol by fermentation process has a great demand in countries
like Japan, United States, Canada, and Srilanka etc. The synthetic alcohol produced by these
countries from Naphtha or petroleum crude is not useful for beverages. Large quantities of alcohol
have been exported out of country during last few years.
There are about 290 distilleries in the country (as on 2002-03) with a total installed capacity of 3198
million liters per annum. In spite of such abundant licensed and installed capacity and not with-
standing the fact that there is a great demand for alcohol both for chemical industry and potable
purposes, alcohol production in the country is lagging behind and is varying only around 1400-1450
million liters per annum.
Although India is the largest producer of sugarcane and sugar, the sugar factories in India are facing
problems. Sugar factories cannot survive in a healthy condition on a single product i.e. sugar. It is
necessary to develop the factory into an affiliated chemical complex and use the valuable co-
products more profitably. Molasses is a very important by-product of the sugar industry. The profits
earned by the conversion of molasses to alcohol will be much higher than that the value realized by
sale of molasses. There is a good demand for alcohol in the country, as production and
consumption of alcohol are not quite balanced.
The target of alcohol demand as projected in the perspective plan for chemical industry, prepared
EIA report
1.1
by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Industry, Dept. of chemical and petrochemicals is around 2400
million litres per annum. In addition, there is a good demand potential to export alcohol.
In view of the above M/s E.I.D Parry (India) Limited has proposed enhance the production capacity
of Sugar, C-gen and Distillery
M/s.E.I.D.Parry( India) Limited ( Formerly Known as Parrys Sugar Industries Limited) is an

operating Integrated Sugar Complex at Hullatti and Alloli Village, Haliyal Taluk, Uttara Kannada
District, Karnataka.
The Integrated Sugar Complex is being operated with the following capacity
Sugar Plant : 4800 TCD

Co-generation Power plant : 24 MW
Distillery : 45 KLPD
Now the company has proposed to enhance the capacity of

 Sugar plant from 4800 TCD to 6000 TCD
 Cogeneration Power plant from 24 MW to 37 MW including 3 MW incidental
power generation from Distillery Spent wash incineration boiler
 Distillery from 45 KLD to 90 KLD
The proposed expansion will be taken up in the existing plant premises only. The total cost of the
proposed expansion project will be Rs. 125 Crores.
1.1 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT
As per the stipulations of EIA Notification, 2006 and its amendments, the projects listed under
Category A and B need to obtain Environmental clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forests,
New Delhi.

Distillery : 45 KLPD
Now the company has proposed to enhance the capacity of

 Sugar plant from 4800 TCD to 6000 TCD
 Cogeneration Power plant from 24 MW to 34 MW including 3 MW incidental
power from distillery spent wash incineration boiler
 Distillery from 45 KLD to 90 KLD
The proposed expansion will be taken up in the existing plant premises only. The total cost of the
proposed expansion project will be Rs. 125 Crores.
2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT
The international sugar market remains one of the most volatile of all commodity markets due to
uncertainty in supply among some Asian countries, particularly India. The sugar production in
India is characterized by the cyclical nature of production, where 2-3 years of surplus are followed
by 2-3 years of deficit. In recent years, the cycle has been more pronounced, with larger swings in
production and trade. Trade generally follows a similar trend, with imports during the deficit
phase of the cycle, replaced by large exports during the surplus phase. The cyclical production is
due to uncertain weather conditions, lower productivity and use of traditional method of
production. The government policies also amplify the cycle through their effect on incentives
along the sugar value chain, including for farmers and sugar factories.
The world sugar market has undergone significant structural changes over the past decade still it
remains heavily distorted due to protectionism policy by various governments. Changes in domestic
support policies and border measures, such as the imposition of export restrictions, have a major
impact on trade volumes and international prices. Other uncertainties like saturated demand from
developed countries also affecting the market. Changes in oil and energy prices and their
EIA report
2.1
implications on the share of sugarcane for ethanol production, particularly in Brazil, will also
influence the market.
India is the fourth largest exporter of sugar; exporting to UAE, Sri Lanka, Yemen, Saudi Arabia,
Maldives, Pakistan and Malaysia. India has the potential to export sugar to sugar deficit
countries in the Middle East and East Africa. India enjoys freight advantage in exporting
sugar to these countries but the only disadvantage is that price fetched in these countries is much
lower than the price fetched in Europe and North America. The Indian sugar sector needs to focus
on European and North American markets on a long term basis to fetch higher prices for Indian
sugar.
India is net exporter of sugar despite constant government interventions in external trade of sugar is
to curb the rise in prices of sugar in the domestic market. But higher domestic sugar prices than
international sugar prices suggest the significant policy changes are needed. Also, the potential for
expanding sugar production in India exists and can be fully exploited if adjustments were introduced
to ensure a market driven relationship between sugar and sugarcane prices. The use and
valorization of sugarcane byproducts, such as ethanol, electric power, and other derivatives, can
cushion against low sugar prices and other market risks. Clearly, the liberalization of the sugar
industry can only be undertaken within the context of broader domestic reforms, because of the
linkages on both demand and supply sides that prevail in agricultural commodity markets .
In view of the above, the company has proposed to enhance the capacity of Integrated Sugar
Complex
2.3 LOCATION
The existing Integrated Sugar Complex is located at Hullati & Alloli Villages, Haliyal Taluk, Uttara

2.6.4 MANUFACTURING PROCESS [TOR # 13]

2.6.4.1 SUGAR MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Cane Procurement
Matured cane is harvested and transported by trucks & tractors to the factory site, taking care that
the time gap between harvesting & milling should be less than 22 hours, cane is harvested on the
basis of (1) Age of the crop (2) Hand refractometer brix (3) Lab crusher test.
Preparation - cane is cut up into pieces with cane knives, resulting in a fiberized mass. The more
finely prepared the cane the better will be the extraction.
Diffusion - i.e. Extraction of juice from the prepared cane by the process of leaching by circulating
hot water at about 85-90 deg C in a counter current flow. A typical diffuser would have 12 extraction
stages with a total length of about 68 m between drive and non- drive end shaft centres and 6.5 m
wide.
De watering Mill- i.e. "Squeezing" the water from the magasse using large grooved rollers. Due to
the leaching process with an imbibition of about 300% on fiber, the output of diffuser, termed as
Magasse will have a moisture of about 80% that has to be brought down to 50% to be able to use in
boiler for steam generation.These de-watering mills are used for reducing the moisture to the
desired level of 50%.
Juice screening - to remove the fibre from the extracted juice. The fibrous residue Bagasse is
used mainly as fuel. Weighing - of the "mixed juice" in the mass flow meter.
Juice Clarification
Before clarifying the sugar cane juice it is weighed for the material balance purpose. Weighed juice
is pumped to continuous liming & sulphitation tank, termed as Juice Sulphitor through a direct
contact heater to get temperature of juice 70 deg C to 75 deg C. Heated juice is treated with milk of
lime & SO2 gas, to precipitate out the non-sugar content of the juice. To avoid fluctuations film type
continuous suphur furnace is installed. This unit has installed a Short retention time clarifier for
removing the mud from the juice and take out clear juice for processing further.
In the clarifier, precipitated non sugars settle in the bottom compartment and decanted juice comes
out from the upper portion, under flow of the clarifier is sent to diffuser.
To add milk of lime to juice reaction tank, it is made in a slacker, where quick lime is mixed with hot
condensate. To maintain quality of lime, fresh quick lime is procured from lime kilns. To prepare
sulphur dioxide gas, superior quality rolled sulphur is burnt in a furnace, supplied with atmospheric
air.
EIA report
2.10
Evaporation
Clear juice coming out from the clarifier is fed to multiple effect evaporator set, to concentrate the
juice to 58 deg to 60 deg brix. Condensate collected from evaporator later bodies is used for mill
imbibition purpose.
Syrup clarification
Concentrated syrup from evaporator outlet is sent to, syrup reaction tank & syrup clarifier. Syrup is
treated with phosphoric acid, to separate out non sugars to the possible extent. Clarified syrup is
suphited for bleaching action purpose. Clarified & syphited syrup is sent to pan house to crystallize
sugar.
Crystallization process
To extract the sugar from cane syrup it is boiled 3 times in pans. After extracting the maximum
quantity of sugar, the left over liquor is called as waste molasses or final molasses.
Cane syrup (mother liquor) is boiled in bagging massecuite called as 1 st massecuite of “A”
massecuite. From this massecuite, commercial sugar and mother liquor are separated out. This
mother liquor after 1st extraction is called “A” heavy molasses. To get required number of sugar
crystals and to maintain uniformity. “A” massecuite is boiled on seed sugar collected from sugar
hopper.
A-Heavy molasses is again boiled as “B” massecuite. It is centrifuged & the sugar is melted in pan
condensate water. This melt is used in “A” massecuite boiling. Molasses coming out from “B”
massecuite centrifugation is called as “B” molasses.
This “B” molasses is again boiled as “C” massecuite, Sugar coming out by the centrifuging of “C”
massecuite is melted and used in “A” massecuite boiling. Molasses coming out from C-Centrifugal
is called as final molasses.
Conveying and Grading of Sugar
“A” massecuite (Bagging Massecuite) is centrifuged in fully automatic batch type centrifugal to get
commercial grade sugar. This sugar is discharged on a hopper cum conveyor. While conveying the
sugar to grader, it is treated with hot air and cold air to remove moisture & to bring down the
temperature of sugar 38 deg C before packing.
Magnets are provided just above the sugar hopper and at the bottom of sugar elevators to separate
out pieces if any.

2.11
Sugar packing, weighment & storage
Graded sugar is sent to sugar silos. These sugar silos are attached with auto weighers. Sugar is
bagged according to market requirement in 50 kg. Pack using H.D.P.E bags with polythene lining.
In the godown bags are stacked in lots and are covered with L.D.P.E black sheets.

2.6.4.2 POWER GENERATION PROCESS

CO-GENERATION POWER PLANT
The power plant consists of the following.

 45 TPH Traveling Grate Boiler with ESP
 1 x 10 MW Triple Extraction cum condensing type Steam turbine
 Mechanical auxiliaries like Fuel handling system.
 Water cooled condenser system.
 Electrical auxiliaries
The boiler will be designed to operate with bagasse only.
The whole process comprises of generating heat energy in the boiler and then converting heat
energy generated in the Traveling Grate Boiler into Mechanical energy in the turbine and further
converting this mechanical energy generated in the turbine into electrical energy in the alternator.
The fuel will be fed into the boiler and will be burnt in the boiler. The combustion generates the
heat energy in the boiler. This heat energy is transferred to heat transfer area provided in different
areas like (water wall, steam drum/mud drum, Bank tubes, Economizer, Super heater, Air-pre
heater). This heat is transferred to the Air, which is passing through and steam is generated and
this steam is further superheated in the Super heater so that dry super heated steam is generated.
Boiler outlet steam parameters are 110ata, 540 0C.
The quantity of steam generated in the boiler is 120 TPH (MCR). This steam is fed into the turbine
and this steam expands in the turbine and generates mechanical energy i.e. it starts rotating the
rotor at high speed and further this mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy in the
alternator. The power generated at the alternator terminal is 24 MW.
The feed water from the deaerator is pumped to the steam drum through HP heater and
economizer by means of feed water pump (three no's out of which normally two are working and
one is standby). The feed water gets preheated in the HP heater by recovery of heat from MP
steam extraction from turbine initially and in economizer by way of recovery of heat from flue gases
before it enters the steam drum, where it mixes with boiler water. A minimum re-circulation flow line
is provided in the feed water line to pump the water back to deaerator and safeguard the pump from
overheating in very low or no flow (to boiler) condition.
EIA report
2.14
BOILER WATER CIRCULATION SYSTEM
The boiler water circulation system consists of two sections in boiler bank tubes and water wall
tubes. The boiler bank tubes have a self adjusting circulation pattern, with a few tubes connected to
the water space, serving as down comer tubes and the remaining serving as riser tubes. A portion
of the water circulated is evaporated and the steam water mixture rises up into the steam drum
where steam is separated from water. Dry steam leaves the steam drum, while the separated water
mixes with the incoming feed water for further circulation. The water wall tubes receive water from
water drum through down comer/connecting pipes. The steam water mixture, rising through water
wall tubes, enters the steam drum and the dry saturated steam leaves the drum.
SUPER HEATER SYSTEM
The saturated steam from the steam drum enters the super heater. This is located at the outlet of
the furnace and is of pendant type, arranged for counter flow configuration. The heat from the flu e
gases is transferred to the steam and the super heater is suitably sized to achieve the rated steam
temperature. The inter stage attemperator provided enables to maintain the super heat steam
temperature within allowable limits. The superheated steam flows through the main steam piping to
the end use equipment. The main steam stop valve isolates the boiler form the process/turbine, as
the case may be. Boiler starts up vent and super heater safety valve are located in this line.
FIRING SYSTEM
The spreader stoker with traveling grate is most widely used combustion process for burning fuels
for generation of steam. The primary purpose of this grate is to provide a platform for the fuel to be
distributed over and for the forced draft air to pass through, providing oxygen for combustion. The
travelling grate moves forward and towards the fuel feed end. The design is such that it releases
equal amounts of energy over each square meter of the grate.

2.6.4.3 DISTILLERY
The proposed distillery will be operated with Molasses raw materials.
A) WITH MOLASSES
YEAST PROPAGATION
Yeast seed material is prepared in water-cooled yeast vessels by inoculating molasses with yeast.
The contents of the yeast vessel are then transferred to the Yeast activation vessel. The purpose
of aerated yeast activation in the yeast activation vessel is to allow time for the yeast cell
multiplication.
FERMENTATION
The fermentation technology adopted in the industry is of Semi continuous fermentation with yeast
recycles with this technology the total spent wash generation will be restricted to a max. Of 10 kl/kl
of R.S. (As per latest CPCB recommendation).
The purpose of fermentation is to convert the fermentable sugars into alcohol. During fermentation,
sugars are broken down into alcohol and carbon-di-oxide. Significant heat release takes place
during fermentation.
However the fermentation temperature is maintained at 32 – 35 0C by forced recirculation heat
exchangers.
At the end of fermentation, the wash is fed through a yeast separator where the yeast cream is
separated, acidified in the yeast treatment tank and returned to the yeast activation vessel for
activation. Sludge is separated in a sludge decanter. The clear wash from both the yeast separator
and sludge separator flows to the clarified wash tank. The wash is then pumped to distillation.
ECOFINE - P : PRIMARY DISTILLATION
Fermented Wash about 8% v/v alcohol is preheated in two stages i.e. in the beer heater using the
Rectifier vapours and then in the Fermented wash PHE using the effluent. The preheated wash is
then fed the Degasifying Column to remove residual CO 2 and volatiles.
The wash then flows down to Analyser Column, which acts as a total stripper. The alcohol water
vapour mixture which rises upward in this column is fed to the Rectifier Column. The spent wash,
after separation of alcohol, flows down the Analyser Column bottom and pumped for suitable
treatment.
The lower boiling impurities are concentrated in the Aldehyde Column where about 5% spirit is
drawn off as impure spirit with strength of 94.0%v/v.
The alcohol vapours are concentrated in the Rectifier Column to produce Rectified Spirit of 95% v/v
strength. Higher boiling impurities, which are formed during fermentation, are removed by taking
side draw purges to a decanter from the Rectifier Column. A trace stream of spirit is drawn off as
EIA report
2.17
impure spirit (about 0.2% of plant capacity) to remove the concentrated volatile compounds. The
high grade Rectified Spirit is taken as a draw from the upper trays of the Rectifier Column.
ECOFINE – R5: REDISTILLATION (5% TECHNICAL ALCOHOL CUT)
High proof alcohol (95% v/v) is fed to the purification column. Dilution water is fed on the top most
tray of the column with a dilution ratio of 1: 9. This column serves to remove the impurities based
on the principle of HYDRO SELECTION/ HYDRO EXTRACTION. The water is fed to the column in
such a way that it selects the higher alcohols and other impurities to move upwards and extracts
alcohol down. The purifier bottom alcohol composition is maintained at 12 % v/v. At this
composition there is an inversion in relative volatiles of higher alcohols as compared to alcohol and
these alcohols get separated in the top distillate. Top draw for volatiles is fed to the Fusel oil
concentration column.
The purified dilute alcohol is removed from the bottom of the purification column and fed to the
rectification column, which concentrates the ethanol to 96% v/v. The high grade spirit is drawn from
one of the upper trays of the rectification column. A small heads cut is removed from the overhead
stream as technical alcohol (T.A.) cut to with draw impurities and is fed to the heads concentration
column. The lees from the exhaust column are recycled as dilution water after a part of it is purged.
The purged spent lees is used to preheat the make-up dilution water.
Lower side draw streams are taken from rectification column to avoid fusel oil build up in the
column. These streams are then taken to the fusel oil column. This column concentrates the dilute
streams of alcohol containing esters and fusel oils to approximately 95% v/v of alcohol. The
concentrated alcohol is removed as T.A. cut from the top of the column. T.A. cut is removed out of
the system in order to remove propanol and remaining is fed to the heads concentration column
where the heads from the purification column and rectification are fed to the static mixer. Soft
water, which has been preheated, is used for diluting the high proof ethanol. An impure spirit cut of
about 5% of the rectified spirit feed is drawn from the top of the column. The dilute ethanol solution
at the bottom of this column is pumped back to the purification column for repurification.
CARBON DIOXIDE RECOVERY SYSTEM (BY PRODUCT)
CO2 gas will pass through scrubbing tower, where the gas is scrubbed with water. From the
scrubber after washing the gas is passed through air compressor and than the gas will pass
through a tower containing sodium dichromate to eliminate the impurities, if any and then to drying
arrangement with sulphuric acid. Subsequently it passes through a tower containing coke coated
with washing soda to eliminate odour. . The scrubber blowdown will be recycled into the fermenters.
After the scrubber, the pressurized CO2 will be liquefied and stored in the storage container which
will be disposed through tankers to the soft drink units
Total CO2 that can be produced : 34.2 T/day
EIA report
2.18
MOLECULAR SIEVE TECHNOLOGY FOR ETHANOL
Molecular sieve technology works on the principle of pressure swing adsorption. Here water is
removed by adsorbing on surface of `molecular sieves' and then cyclically removing it under
different conditions (steaming).
Molecular sieves are nothing but synthetic zeolites typically 3A zeolite. Zeolites are synthetic
crystalline Alumino Silicates. This material has strong affinity for water. They adsorb water in cold
condition and desorb water when heated. This principle is used to dehydrate ethanol. The
crystalline structure of zeolites is complex and gives this material the ability to adsorb or reject
material based on molecular sizes. Water molecule can enter the sieve and be adsorbed, but larger
alcohol molecule will not be retained and will go through the bed. There can be two to three beds in
parallel. Once a particular bed is saturated with water, it is heated with steam so that adsorbed
water is desorbed from the bed. Till that time, other bed is used for dehydration.
This type of system is characterized by high capital investment. Low steam consumption and low
power consumption as compared to distillation. The only disadvantage of molecular sieves is the
high attrition rates of sieves in case of small plants. Hence, typically, some amount of sieve material
needs replacement periodically, thereby resulting in higher cost of production in case of small
capacity plants. in case of large capacity plants, the molecular sieve is the most optimum both in
terms of initial investment and operating cost.

3.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT [TOR # 31]

The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency. Noise in
general is sound, which is composed of many frequency components of various loudness
distributed over the audible frequency range. Various noise scales have been introduced to
EIA report
3.6
describe, in a single number, the response of an average human being to a complex sound made
up of various frequencies at different loudness levels. The most common and heavily favored of
those scales is the weighted decibel (dBA). This is more suitable for audible range of 20 to 20,000
Hertz. The scale has been designed to weigh various components of noise according to the
response of a human ear.
The impact of noise sources on surrounding community depends on

 Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous in nature). It is well
known that steady noise is not as annoying as one that is continuously varying in loudness.
 The time at which noise occurs, for example loud noise levels at night in residential areas are
not acceptable because of sleep disturbance.
 The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive area, which determines the
loudness and period of noise exposure.
The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced Hearing
Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of Noise levels.
The environmental impact assessment of noise from the plant can be carried out by taking into
consideration of various factors: potential damage to hearing, potential physiological responses,
annoyance and general community responses.
The main objective of noise level monitoring is to assess the background noise levels in different
zones viz., industrial, commercial, residential and silence zones within the study area.
The basic studies conducted were

a. Assessment of background noise levels.
b. Identification and monitoring the major noise generating sources in the study area.
c. Impact of noise on general population in the study zone of 10 Km. radius.
3.2.1 RECONNAISSANCE
Noise levels were measured at different locations within 10 Km. radius of the plant site such as
villages, bus stands etc.
3.2.1.1 BACKGROUND NOISE
Baseline noise data has been measured at different locations using A-weighted sound pressure
level meter. The equivalent day-night noise levels in the study zone are ranging from 42.35 dBA to
57.40 dBA.
EIA report
3.7
3.2.1.2 SOURCES OF NOISE
Typical considerations in environmental noise assessment can be divided into two categories; one
is related to noise sources and the other related to potential receiver.
Two quantities are needed to describe completely the strength of the source. They are sound
power level and directivity. Sound power levels measures the total sound power radiated by the
source in all directions where as directivity is a measure of difference in radiation with direction.
This concept of sound power level and directivity index makes it possible to calculate the sound
pressure level created by the source.
3.2.2 COMMUNITY NOISE
The ambient noise level is characterized by significant variations above a base or a residual noise
level. The residual noise level is that level below which the ambient noise does not seem to drop
during a given time interval and is generally caused by the unidentified distant sources. It differs in
rural and urban areas. At night, its level is low due to lesser elements of noise. The annoyance that
people experience depends upon the number of noise elements that produce noise concurrently at
a given time that occur during a time interval.
The noise rating developed by EPA for specification of community noise from all sources is the day
night sound level, Ldn. It is similar to a 24 hour equivalent sound level except that during the night
period, which extends from 10.00 p.m. to 7.00 a.m. A 10 dBA weighing penalty is added to the
account for the fact that noise at night when people are trying to sleep is judged more annoying
than the same noise during the day time.
The Ldn for a given location in a community is calculated from an hourly equivalent sound level
given be the following equation.
Ldn =10 log (1/24 [15 (10 (Ld/10) + 9 (10(Ln+10)/10)])
Where Ld is the equivalent noise level during day time (7A .M. to 10 P.M.)
Ln is the equivalent noise level during night time (10 P.M. to 7 A.M.)
3.2.2.1 OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE
To assess the magnitude of impact due to noise sources, it is essential to know the following.
a. The duration of sound.
b. Distribution through the working day.
c. Overall noise levels.
d. It’s composition including frequency and intensity at various intervals of time.
Other factors regarding receiver include
a. The age of the individual.
EIA report
3.8
b. The sensitivity of the individual.

c. The efficiency of the protective devices used.
After characterizing the noise sources noise at receiver’s location, the impact must be assessed.
The environmental impact of noise can lead to the following effects.
a. Damages the hearing capacity.
b. Interference in communication.
c. Interference with work.
d. Interference with sleep.
e. Causes annoyance
METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR NOISE LEVEL OBSERVATION
For measurement of Ambient Noise level in the Study area, a Digital Sound Level Meter (Make &
Model: Lutron SL-4001) was used. The instrument was calibrated with a Standard Acoustic
calibrator before using in the field. The measurements were carried out continuously for the 24-
hour period to obtain hourly equivalent sound pressure level, 1 hour Leq. From these values, day
and night time as well as 24-hour Leq values were also calculated. The Leq is the equivalent
continuous sound level, which is equivalent to the same sound energy as the fluctuating sound
measured in the same period.

CHAPTER – 4
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
&
MITIGATION MEASURES
4.0 INTRODUCTION
Impact prediction is a very important phenomenon in evaluating the environmentally potential
adverse impacts for any proposed industrial activities. The impact prediction is always carried out
under worst possible conditions so as to mitigate or to eliminate the environmental hazards. These
predictions thus calculated are superimposed over the baseline data to know the quality of
environment in the vicinity of the project site so as to calculate the net impact on the environment
after the project comes into production.
4.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment
studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of
developmental activities on physico, ecological and socioeconomic environments. Such predictions
are superimposed over the baseline (pre project) status of environmental quality to derive the
ultimate (post project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts helps to
identify the environmental management plan required to be executed during and after commissioning
the proposed plant to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality.
The mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe cause-effect relationships
between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In case, mathematical
models are not available or it is not possible to identify / validate through models for particular
situation, prediction could be arrived at through available scientific knowledge and judgments.
The mathematical model used for predictions in the present study include, steady state Gaussian
Plume dispersion model designed for multiple point sources for air quality, Wave divergence and
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) models for noise levels. In case of water, land, biological
and socio-economic environments the prediction have been made based on available scientific
knowledge and judgments.

4.1.1 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY AND CLIMATE

4.1.1.1 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
The major envisaged topographical changes would be limited to the immediate vicinity of the plant.
The change in topography will be only due to man made structures like Industrial complex and
Administrative building. Similarly, it will invite positive benefits in the form of land leveling and green
belt development in the plant vicinity.
4.1.1.2 IMPACTS ON CLIMATE

As the temperature of the effluent gases will not be high, generally this will not cause any thermal
imbalance as extensive greenbelt will be developed within the plant premises. However, there will be
natural dispersion of heat due to unstable conditions during day and as such there would be no
significant micro / macro climatological changes of any consequence.
4.1.2 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS ON AIR ENVIRONMENT [TOR # 17]

It is absolutely essential to study the impacts of air pollution on its environs due to the proposed
Plant. These impacts are assessed with the help of Mathematical model based on steady state
Gaussian Plume Dispersion Model designed for multiple point sources for short term. In the present
case, Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST-3), 1993 dispersion model based on steady
state Gaussian plume dispersion, designed for multiple point sources for short term developed by
United States Environment Protection Agency (USEPA) has been used for simulations from point
sources.
Model Input
Emissions
Emissions from co-gen boilers (existing & expansion) and Spent wash fired Distillery have also been
considered. The emission data from the stacks is shown in Table 4.1.1
Receptor Locations
The software is capable of generating a polar receptor grid at every 10 radial angles at specified
distances (in Kms).
Meteorological data
For the prediction of rise in Ground Level concentrations of pollutants, the actual hourly
meteorological data recorded at the site during the study period (October, 2013 –December, 2013) is
converted to mean meteorological hourly data as specified by CPCB and the same is used in the
model. In the absence of site specific mixing heights, mixing heights published in ‘Spatial distribution
of hourly mixing depths over Indian region’ by Dr. R.N.Gupta have been used.
EIA report
4.2
Presentation of results
In the present case model simulations have been carried out for the pre summer season. For the
short term simulations, the concentrations have been estimated around 1600 receptors to obtain
optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in 10 Km. radius covering 16
directions.
Model Output
The output contains the first through sixth highest concentration values at each receptor, Maximum
concentration tables and daily concentration tables for each averaging period.
The calculations for stack height, ash generation quantity have been done considering the above
scenarios to represent the worst scenarios. The expected emissions from the proposed boilers are
PM, SO2, NOX. [TOR # 7]

The stacks height is calculated as per CPCB guidelines with the following formulae:
I. STACK HEIGHT CALCULATION FOR 45 TPH BOILER

(A) 100% Bagasse
a. STACK HEIGHT BASED ON SO2 EMISSION

There will not be any sulphur content in bagasse. Hence there will not be any SO 2 emission. Hence a
minimum stack height of 30 m is required. Coal use is not envisaged in this boiler. Hence, stack
height based on coal as fuel is not calculated.
b. STACK HEIGHT BASED ON PARTICULATE EMISSION

Stack height will also be calculated based on the following equation.
Stack height H = 74 (Q)0.27
Where H = Stack height in meters
Q = Quantity of particulate matter in Tonnes / Hour
Q = 22 TPH x 6.5 = 0.143 TPH
Stack height based on particulate matter
Stack height H= 74 (0.143) 0.27 = 43.76 m
Hence a stack height of 44 m will be provided for effective dispersion of particulate matter.
II. STACK HEIGHT CALCULATION FOR 15 TPH BOILER:

Concentrated Spent wash:
Concentrated Spent wash consumption : 4,500 Kg/Hr
Sulphur content in Concentrated spent wash : 0.56%
SO2 emission (Q) : 50.4 Kg/hr
EIA report
4.3
Stack height : 14(Q)0.3

: 14(50.4)0.3
: 45.4 m
b. STACK HEIGHT BASED ON PARTICULATE EMISSION
Stack height will also be calculated based on the following equation.

Stack height H = 74 (Q)0.27
Where H = Stack height in meters
Q = Quantity of particulate matter in Tonnes/Hour.
Q = 2.5 TPH x 5% = 0.125 TPH
Stack height based on particulate matter

Stack height H = 74 (0.13) 0.27 = 42.7 m
Hence a stack of 46 m is adequate for effective dispersion of emissions into the atmosphere.
However a stack of 50 m height will be provided.
High efficiency Electro static precipitators (ESP) will be provided to 45 TPH Boiler & Bag filter for the
15 TPH spent wash fired incineration boiler for effectively bringing down the Particulate Matter
concentration to less than 50 mg/nm3 to comply with MoEF / KSPCB Norms. The boiler and the ESP
will be interlocked in such a way that in case the ESP fails, the raw material feed to the boiler will stop
and consequently there will be no power generation in the plant. The following are the boiler stacks
details of the proposed expansion project.

The emissions of concern are Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphurdioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen oxides
(NOx). A stack height of 50 m is proposed for the new 15 TPH boiler in Distillery and stack height of
44 m will be provided to the 45 TPH boiler as per CPCB guidelines for effective dispersion of sulphur
dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. High efficiency Electro static precipitators (ESP) will be

4.4
provided to 45 TPH Boiler and Bag filter for 15 TPH Spent wash incineration Boiler for effectively
bringing down the Particulate Matter concentration to less than 50 mg/Nm3 to comply with CREP
recommendations. The boiler and the ESP will be interlocked in such a way that in case the ESP
fails, the raw material feed to the boiler will stop and consequently there will be no power generation
in the plant.
INCREMENTAL GLC`s DUE TO THE PROPOSED EXPANSION PROJECT
The max predicted incremental rise in SO 2 concentrations (24 hourly) will be 12 g/m3 at a distance of
900 m from the origin stack in the down wind direction over the baseline concentrations.
The max predicted incremental rise in PM10 concentrations (24 hourly) will be 0.8 g/m3 at a distance
of 900 m from the origin stack in the down wind direction over the baseline concentrations.
The max predicted incremental rise in NO X concentrations (24 hourly) will be 7.9 g/m3 at a distance
of 900 m from the origin stack in the down wind direction over the baseline concentrations.
The net resultant concentrations (Maximum baseline conc. + predicted incremental rise in conc.) of
PM10, SO2 and NOX are shown in Table No. 4.1.2. The net resultant concentrations of PM10, SO2 and
NOX during the operation of the existing and expansion project are well within the revised National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) stipulated by MOEF vide notification dated 16-11-2009.
Hence there will not be any adverse impact on air environment due to the proposed expansion
project.

4.3 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS DUE TO NOISE

4.3.1 PREDICTION OF IMPACT DUE TO THE PROPOSED EXPANSION ACTIVITY
The sound pressure level generated by noise source decreases with increasing distance from the
source due to wave divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from
the source is expected, due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the path of
transmission. For hemispherical sound wave propagation through homogeneous loss free medium,
one can estimate noise levels at various locations, due to different sources using model based on
first principle, as per the following equation:
Lp2 = Lp1 – 20 Log (r2/r1) - Ael.2
Where Lp1 and Lp2 are sound pressure levels at points located at distance r1 and r2 from the source
and Ae1.2 is the excess attenuation due to environmental conditions. Combined effect of all the
sources then can be determined at various locations by logarithmic addition.
It is first approximation one can assume that for all general population in the villages, every noise
source in the plane is a point source. The average equivalent sound power level of such a point
source can be estimated for different distances and directions from hypothetical source by applying
following equation:
Lp = Lw - 20 Log r – Ae – 8
Where Lw is the sound power level of the source, Lp is sound pressure level at a distance r and Ae is
environmental attenuation factor. A combined noise level Lp (total) of all the sources at a particular
place is given by:
Lp (total) = 10 Log (10Lp1/10) + 10 (Lp2/10) + ---------)
Major noise generating sources were identified from the proposed activity for prediction purposes.
The major noise generating sources are STGs, Boiler, compressors. Predictions have been made to
represent the worst case. The noise levels at various distances were calculated using wave
divergence model.
The Ambient Noise levels will be within the standards prescribed by MOE&F, GOI vide Notification
dated 14-02-2000 under the Noise pollution (regulation & control) Rules, 2000. The ambient noise
levels will be less than 75dBA during day time & less than 70dBA during night time.
4.3.2 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS ON COMMUNITY
Day and Night sound pressure levels, Ldn are often used to describe the community noise exposure,
which include 10 dBA night time penalty. As the nearest habitation is at a distance of 0.6 Km. from
the Plant site, the impact of noise on general population would be insignificant.
EIA report
4.9
As per the WHO recommendation, there is no identified risk and damage of hearing due to the noise
levels (Leq = 8 hours) less than 75 dBA. Most of the international damage risk criteria for hearing loss
permit (Leq = 12 hours) upto 87 dBA. Further, WHO recommendation on community noise
annoyance, permits day time out door noise levels of 55 dBA. Leq and night time outdoor noise level
of 45 dBA leq to meet sleep criteria i.e. Leq (24 hours) = 52.2. dBA and Ldn = 5.5 dBA.
4.3.3 PREDICTION OF IMPACT ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
The damage risk criteria as enforced by OSHA (Occupation Safety and Health Administration) to
reduce hearing loss, stipulates that noise level upto 85 dBA are acceptable for 8 hour working shift
per day. Plant authorities will provide ear plugs to the employees and will be enforced to be used by
the employees.
4.4 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS ON LAND ENVIRONMENT
Total 226 acres of land is in the possession of the management. The treated effluent from the sugar
and Co-generation power plant is being utilized for on land for irrigation within the premises after
ensuring compliance with CPCB / KSPCB norms. Similar practice will be followed after proposed
expansion. Spent wash generated from the distillery is being treated in Multiple Effect Evaporators
(MEE) to concentrate the solid to 60% and being used as fuel for incineration boiler. Similar practice
will be followed after proposed expansion. Hence zero discharge will be implemented for Sugar , Co-
gen and Distillery units as per CPCB norms.
The treated non process effluent from the distillery and Co-generation power plants is being utilized
for dust suppression, ash conditioning and for Dust suppression, Ash Conditioning, Bagasse wetting
Greenbelt development / R&D sugar plantation etc, after ensuring compliance with CPCB/KSPCB
norms.
As there are no rare and endangered species in the vicinity of the proposed activity, there will not be
any concern for the loss of important germ plasm that needs conservation.
Greenbelt already developed in the plant premises will aid in mitigating the air emissions and noise
generation. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on land environment due to proposed
expansion Integrated Sugar Complex
4.5 PREDICTION OF IMPACTS DUE TO VEHICULAR MOVEMENT [TOR # 32]

Total no. of trucks required for transportation of raw materials and products after proposed expansion
will be 370 per day. The trucks carrying coal and sugar will be covered, molasses and ethanol will be
transported in tankers hence there will not be any fugitive dust generation during transportation of
raw materials and trucks. Pucca road exist upto the site. The existing road (Haliyal to Yallapur) is

vehicular traffic due to the proposed expansion project.
In the plant premises total 5 acres land has been earmarked for parking trucks.
4.5 PREDCTION OF IMPACTS ON BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The effluent from sugar plant will treated in Effluent treatment plant and after ensuring compliance
with KSPCB norms, the treated effluent will be utilized for on land for irrigation. Cooling tower
blowdown and DM plant regeneration water will be recycled into process. Boiler blowdown and
service water effluent will be treated in neutralization tank and treated effluent is will be utilized
for greenbelt development / ash conditioning / dust suppression in the plant premises after ensuring
quality of treated effluent with standards stipulated for onland for irrigation by CPCB / KSPCB. The
spent wash generated from the distillery will be treated in Multiple Effect Evaporators (MEE) to
concentrate the solids to 60% and then will be sent to a boiler for incineration. Hence zero discharge
will be implemented in the plant as per CPCB norms. The treated non process effluent will be utilized
for dust suppression, ash conditioning and for on land for after ensuring compliance with CPCB /
KSPCB norms. The proposed spent wash treatment technology is approved by CPCB.
The flue gases from the 45 TPH and 10 and 15 TPH Boilers will be treated in ESP and Bag filter
respectively and discharged through a stack height of 44 m and 50m respectively as per CPCB
guidelines for effective dispersion of sulphur dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The particulate
matter in the exhaust gas will be less than 50 mg/Nm3. There are no rare & endangered species in
the study area. All the required emission control systems will be installed and operated to comply
with MoEF / CPCB / KSPCB norms. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on flora & fauna due
to the proposed expansion project.

ADDITIONAL STUDIES
RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.1 INTRODUCTION [TOR # 35]

Risk analysis deals with the identification and quantification of risks, the plant equivalent and
personnel are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the hazards present in the factory. Hazard
analysis involves the identification and quantification of the various hazards (unsafe conditions)
Involved in the factory.
Both hazard and risk analysis very extensive studies, and require a very detailed design and
engineering information.
The various hazard analysis techniques that may be applied are Hazard and Operability (HAZOP)
studies, Fault – Tree Analysis (FTA), event –tree analysis and failure and effects mode analysis.
Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and assessment of
risks the neighbouring populations are exposed to as result of hazard present. This requires a
through knowledge of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of populations etc.,
much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often
confined to maximum creditable accident studies.
7.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of study includes the study of proposed operations, storage and handling of raw materials
with respect to Hazard Identification. Risk Assessment and preparation of Disaster Management
plan. Based on the Hazard Identification and analysis, the major disaster scenarios would be worked
out to estimate the consequence of failure. A Disaster Management Plan (DMP) would also be
evolved to meet the emergency situation including the occupational health and safety.

employed for hazard identification process.
7.7 FIRE & EXPLOSION AND TOXICITY INDEX
The role of Fire & Explosion toxicity Index (FET) aids in quantitative hazard identification. The FEI is
calculated by evaluating the loss potential of all the units in the storage area and the hazardous
areas were classified accordingly. The role of FET is

 Identification of the equipment/areas that could likely contribute to the creation or escalation of
incident and relatively rank the incidents.
 Quantification of the expected damage of potential fire and explosion incidents.
 Preparation of guidelines for mitigating fire hazards.
The loss potential which could actually be experienced under the most adverse operating conditions
is quantitatively evaluated. The FEI is used for any operation in which a flammable, combustible or
reactive material is stored, handled or processed.
FEI = MF * GPH * SPH
Where MF: Material factor
GPH: General Process Hazard
SPH: Special Process Hazard
TOXICITY INDEX
The Toxicity Index is calculated using the Nh, GPH and SPH. TI is calculated by the following
formula.

METEOROLOGICAL DATA
The atmosphere acts like a large non-homogeneous reactor with several accompanying
complimentary phenomena. Meteorological information plays an important role in the risk analysis.
The atmospheric stability conditions, wind speed, wind directions, humidity etc. are necessary to find
the damage potential due to any chemical release.
Atmospheric stability is important with regard to the extent to which it suppresses or enhances the
vertical movement in the air’s turbulent motion. This is most strongly a function of vertical
temperature profile in the atmosphere. If a volume of air rises, it would normally be expected to coal
EIA report
7.6
as it expands. If the rate of cooling with height by this process equals the vertical temperature profile
then turbulence is neither suppressed nor enhanced. Such conditions are termed neutral. If the
vertical temperature profile is more marked then turbulence is enhanced and if the profile is less
marked then turbulence is suppressed. Neutral conditions correspond to a rate of decrease in
temperature with height of about 1 0 C per 100 meters.
Atmospheric stability is a very important factor for predicting the dispersion characteristics of
gases/vapors of the surrounding environment. Change in atmospheric stability is due to the direct
consequence of its vertical temperature structure.
For a given location, this tends to vary from season to season. Wind speed and stability conditions/
should be obtained from local meteorological records whenever possible. Where these stability data
are not available, the stability effects are mathematically represented through pasquill parameters.
In Pasquill stability categorisation, class A is the one having most unstable and class F is the most
stable weather condition. An unstable weather condition promotes better dispersion, a high wind
speed and high incoming solar radiation favour the formation of unstable weather condition.
Turbulence induced by buoyancy forces in the atmosphere is closely related to the vertical
temperature structure. The magnitude of atmospheric temperature gradient is compared against the
Adiabatic Lapse Rate (ALR=0.98 0C/100m), which is the rate of temperature change with height for a
parcel of dry air rising adiabatically. In neutral stability the gradient is equal to the ALR. Stable
conditions refer to a gradient less than the ALR (ultimately to a temperature inversion) and unstable
conditions to greater than the ALR.
Stability Class Atmospheric Condition
A Very Unstable
B Unstable
C Slightly Unstable
D Neutral
E Stable
F Very Stable
Condition of atmospheric stability is estimated by a suitable method that uses dispersion parameters
viz., vertical temperature gradient, and wind profile and roughness factor. The roughness factor for
the area is small since it mainly comprises of plain land. In general, very stable and stable
conditions are highly favourable for evaporation and dispersion of gases and hence for maximum
credible accident calculations, only these stability conditions will be assumed.

7.10 RESULTS OF CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
Maximum Credible Accident and Consequence (MCAC) Analysis aims at identifying the unwanted
hazardous events which can cause damage to human beings and the environment in and around
EID PARRY (INDIA) LIMITED alcohol storage facilities at Hullatti and Alloli Village. For this purpose
a host of probable or potential accident scenarios have been visualized, examined, screened and the
credibility of the most probable events established.
The following steps have been followed for the analysis:
 A detailed study of the storage and handling information
 Identification of representative failure cases of the tanks.
 Consequence analysis of the release cases and shortlisting of the most hazardous
events.
The release scenarios are selected based on hazard identification, past accident data and
engineering judgement. Chemicals handled in this transfer operation are basically non-boiling in
nature. Spillage of these chemicals may lead to heat radiation effects.
7.10.1 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL HAZARD AREAS
The facilities are examined along with the terminal layout. An inventory of the amount of various
chemicals to be stored is made. The consequence in terms of heat radiation due to release of
chemicals are broadly analysed.
7.10.2 RELEASE SCENARIOS
The release of chemical from the pipe line over the ground from the land point to the storage
terminal, storage tank failure are all the possible scenarios. Failure of underground pipe line has not
been considered credible. Even in case of such a failure, the released material will be confined
underground and is unlikely to find an ignition source.
7.10.3 SOURCE STRENGTH ESTIMATION
Mathematical models are employed to estimate the outflow the liquids. In general, liquid release can
be expected from pipe failures as the pipe line extends over a long distance. The released liquid will
form the pool which can spread. The most vulnerable section of the piping network will be near
flanges, valves and other fittings. It may be worthwhile for E.I.D Parry India Limited to provide
some sort of collecting mechanism to hold any unexpected release near the loading area and
isolation valves. Major failures of pipe line will lead to pool formation which on ignition can lead to
pool fire.
EIA report
7.8
7.10.4 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
Consequence Analysis is a tool to estimate the potential damage due to accidental release of a
hazardous chemical. A large number of failure cases can lead to the same type of consequences
hence representative failure cases are selected for this analysis.
The release scenarios are selected based on hazard identification, past accident data and
engineering judgment. Alcohol, which is proposed to be handled in this storage and transfer
operation, is basically non-boiling in nature. Spillage of the alcohol, if it finds any ignition source,
may lead to heat radiation effects.
7.10.5 HEAT RADIATION EFFECTS DUE TO POOL FIRE
E.I.D Parry India Limited handles alcohol which is basically non-boiling liquid; it can cause heat
radiation effects due to pool fires. The release of combustible liquid can take place due to
catastrophic rupture of the tank itself or rupture of a transfer line. In case of a transfer line, the
spillage can be stopped through isolation valves. However, in case of rupture of tanks or the line
close to the tank (before isolation valve), the release can be large enough to fill the bund. This may
likely to result in a pool fire in case of immediate ignition. This could be the worst possible scenario
in the storage area as far as the heat radiation effects are concerned.
It is found that pool fires generally tend to have localized effects and are mainly of concern in
establishing the potential for cascade effects and employee safety zones rather than for any off -site
problem. The estimation of damage distance can help in solving issues connected with inter tank
spacing, thermal insulation, fire/wall barrier specification etc.
The estimation of heat radiation depends on the bund size (which is same as pool volume in the
case of catastrophic rupture of the tank leading to spillage of large quantity of the chemical), burning
rate (a property which depends on the heat of combustion and latent heat of vaporization), surface
emitted power (which takes into consideration the radiated fraction of total combustion power),
besides the atmospheric transmissivity and geometric view factor. However, the following points are
to be noted:
 Duration of burning varies with the quantity spilled. However, it does not have any
direct of effect on the radiation levels.
 Burning rate is independent of the meteorological conditions so long as sufficient oxygen
is available in the atmosphere. We assume complete combustion in our calculation.
 The pool fire doesn’t depend on the material of construction of bund and bund floor.
However, the surface emitted power by the chemical is included in the mathematical
calculation.
EIA report
7.9
It should be noted that the damage distances due to heat radiation is independent of the quantity
spilled. It depends on the area exposed. However, the quantity will determine the duration of the
fire.
Release of flammable liquid followed by ignition may lead to pool fire. The transfer lines of EID
PARRY (INDIA) LIMITED mostly will go over the ground all over the storage terminal. Release and
spreading of chemicals at the storage tank area is quite possible.
In case of leak / rupture of transfer line at the storage terminal may spill and spread the chemical.
On immediate ignition the scenario will be spreading of burning pool. Delayed ignition may also
lead to spreading of burning pool or confined pool fire if there are bunds. Spreading burning pools
cause less damage than the pool fire resulting after spreading as the spreading area is less due to
loss of chemicals in the burning. In case of leak of underground lines, released chemicals will
diffuse from the ground and form a pool on the ground but quantity in the pool will be low as the
ground itself acts as an obstruction. On ignition, this will damage pipeline due to heating which
leads to catastrophic failure of transfer line. Nevertheless, this situation has remote probability.
The thermal radiation effects due to pool fires at the storage terminal are calculated and the results
are presented in Table 7.5.
TABLE 7.5
THERMAL RADIATION EFFECTES DUE TO FIRE
S.No. Thermal radiation intensity Hazard distance
(KW/m2) (m)
1 37.5 4
2 12.5 10
3 4.0 21
4 KW/m2 thermal radiation intensity occurs at a distance of 21m and will be within the premises.
Hence no outside population would be affected due to the pool fire scenario. There will be no effect
on any structure related to the plant.
A heat radiation effect of 37.5 KW/m2 can cause sufficient damage to adjacent units and fatality rates
will be 100%. 12.5 KW/m2 level can cause ignition of wood, melt plastic tubing etc., while 4.0 KW/m2
can cause pain to personnel if unable to reach cover within 20s. However, blistering of the skin
(second degree burns) is likely but the lethality level will be zero. The firemen with protective clothing
can handle the fire without discomfort under this heat radiation level.
If a tank ruptures and results in a pool fire, this will spread to other tanks in the same enclosure. If
the other tanks/bunds also catch fire because of the cascade effects, the difference will mainly be
that the total heat flux will remain the same but the fire will last for a longer duration. This is because
the scenario chosen covers the chemical with maximum radiation intensity and maximum quantity.

7.11 FREQUENCY / PROBABILITY ESTIMATION
The reliability data of pipelines and atmospheric storage tanks are presented here from the
international database. These cannot be taken as absolute values as there is no information
available for Indian conditions. Therefore, these can be taken indicative values
The probability of tank failures, pipe ruptures and ignition are presented below:
Atmospheric storage tank failure rate 1 x 10-5/yr
Pipe line failure (pipe lengths between connections)

100 mm $ 4 x 10-6/yr
150 mm $ or greater 3 x 10-6/yr
7.12 RECOMMENDATIONS
I. General Recommendations to Combat Liquid Pool Fires

The major hazard in a flammable storage may arise from pool fire of combustible liquid. Removal of
all ignition sources and maintaining sterile conditions in and all around the plant area.
II. Measures for Containing Liquid Pool Fires
Pool fire in one part of the installation may spread to another unless it is adequately contained. It is
essential to provide spill-impounding areas popularly known as bunds to prevent
Spread of liquid from the immediate spill area to other sections and if the liquid from the immediate
spill is ignited despite safety precautions, impounding areas will serve to control the fire hazard by
 Minimizing the fire size thus reducing radiant heat exposure to the surroundings
 Localizing the need for fire protection.
III. General Recommendations
 Joints in piping should be kept to a minimum. Piping more than 50 mm outside diameter
should have welded or welded flanged joints except when connecting to equipment fitted with
screwed connections. Piping 50 mm diameter and less may have screwed joints. Where
piping has screwed joints, which may be subjected to vibration, consideration should be
given to tack welding them to prevent them from coming loose.
 To prevent the accumulation of static electricity metal piping should be electrically continuous
so that the resistance to earth of the installation does not exceed 10 6 ohms. Reference
should be made to BIS 5958: Part 1:1980 for further information.
EIA report
7.11
IV. Specific Recommendations
i. Hydrocarbon sensors may be provided at the vulnerable areas and in case of any alcohol
vapor release, immediate action to be taken to dilute the alcohol vapor concentration by

7. 13 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.13.1 DISASTERS
A disaster is catastrophic situation in which suddenly, people are plunged into helplessness and
suffering and as a result, need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other
necessities of life.
Disasters can be divided into two main groups. In the first, are Disasters resulting from natural
phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, avalanches,
landslides etc. The second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man’s impact
upon the environment. Examples are industrial accidents, radiation accidents, factory fires,
explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other
structural collapses, air, sea, rail and road transport accidents and can reach catastrophic
dimensions in terms of human loss.
There can be no set criteria for assessing the gravity of a disaster in the abstract since depends to a
large extent on the physical, economic and social environment in which it occurs. What would be
considered a major disaster in developing country, will be equipped to cope with the problems
involved, may not mean more than temporary emergency elsewhere. However all disasters bring in
their wake similar consequences that call for immediate action, whether at the local, national or
international level, for the rescue and relief of the victims. This includes the search for the dead and
injured, medical and social care, removal of the debris, the provision of temporary shelter for the
homeless food, clothing and medical supplies, and the rapid reestablishment of essential services.
EIA report
7.12
7.13.2 OBJECTIVES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT OF PLAN

The disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of environment,
protection of installation, restoration of production and salvage operations in this same order of
priorities. For effective implementation of Disaster Management Plan, it will be widely circulated and
personnel training through rehearsals.
The Disaster Management Plan would reflect the probable consequential severity of undesired event
due to deteriorating conditions or through knock on effects. Further the management should be able
to demonstrate that their assessment of the consequences uses good supporting evidence and
based on currently available and reliable information, incident data from internal and external
sources and if necessary the reports of out side agencies.
To tackle the consequences of a major emergency inside the factory or immediate vicinity of the
factory, a Disaster Management Plan has to be formulated and this planned emergency is called
Disaster Management Plan.
The objective of the Industrial Disaster Management Plan is to make use of the combined resources
of the plant and the outside services to achieve the following.
 Minimise damage to property and the environment.

 Effect the rescue and medical treatment of causalities.
 Provide for the needs of relatives.
 Provide authoritative information to news media.
 Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas.
 Safeguard other people.
Initially contain and then ultimately bring the situation under the control.
Preserve subsequent records and equipment for subsequent enquiry the cause and circumstances
leading to emergency.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
[TOR # 33 & 42]
10.0 INTRODUCTION
The major objective and benefit of utilising Environmental Impact Assessment in project planning
stage itself is to prevent avoidable losses of environmental resources and values as a result of
Environmental Management. Environmental Management includes protection / mitigation /
enhancement measures as well as suggesting post project monitoring programme. Environmental
management may suggest revision of project site or operation to avoid adverse impacts or more
often additional project operations may have to be incorporated in the conventional operation.
The industrial development in the study area needs to be intertwined with judicious utilization of
non-renewable resources of the study area and with in the limits of permissible assimilative
capacity. The assimilative capacity of the study area is the maximum amount of pollution load that
can be discharged in the environment without affecting the designated use and is governed by
dilution, dispersion, and removal due to physico-chemical and biological processes. Detailed
Environment Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the study
area of the plant. Hence it needs to be an all encompassive plan for which the proposed industry,
Government, Regulating agencies likes Pollution Control Board working in the region and more
importantly the affected population of the study area need to extend their cooperation and
contribution.
It has been evaluated that the study area is likely to get new economical fillip. The affected
environmental attributes in the region are air quality, water quality, soil, land use, ecology and public
health.
The Management Action Plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent
with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are
discharged. Environmental Management aims at the preservation of ecosystem by considering the
pollution abatement facilities at the plant inception. In the upcoming modern integrated sugar plants,
pollution abatement has become an integral part of planning and design along with Techno
economic factors.

B) Cogeneration Power Plant
Total wastewater generation from power plant will be 407 Cum/day (including expansion). The
effluent generated from the power plant will be treated and utilized as following.
Cooling tower blow down and DM plant regeneration will be recycled back into process. Boiler blow
down and Service water will be neutralized and after treatment it will be utilized for ash quenching,
dust suppression and greenbelt development.
Sanitary waste water will be treated in septic tank followed by soak pit. Hence there will not be any
adverse impact on environment due to the proposed activities.
C) Distillery Plant:
As per CPCB recommendations the spent wash quantity will be restricted to a maximum of 10 kl/kl
of R.S. for Molasses by adopting continuous fermentation technology. The Maximum Spent wash
generation from the Ethanol plant with Molasses as raw material will be 900 KL/day after proposed
expansion
The spent wash will be concentrated to 60 – 65 % solids in Multiple Effect Evaporators and then will
be incinerated in exclusive 10 TPH Boiler (existing) and 15 TPH Boiler (expansion). This is a ZERO
discharge system already approved by Central Pollution Control Board.
EVAPORATION SYSTEM
The objective of Evaporation is to concentrate a solution consisting of a volatile solute and a volatile
solvent. Evaporation is conducted by vaporizing a portion of the solvent to produce a concentrated
solution of thick liquor with 60% solids and 40 % moisture content.
The evaporation system consists of 5 evaporators, which are connected, in series. The spent wash
will be pumped from distillation section, which will be fed to the evaporator by using feed pump. Gas
Liquid separator (5 Nos.) will be used to separate the vapor and liquid. Both Vapor & Spent wash
will be fed to the next evaporation effect so it is called as feed forward effect evaporation. The vapor
from last evaporator will be condensed in condenser and transferred to the dryer while the
condensate from the evaporators is first utilized for heat recovery. While vacuum pump maintains
vacuum in the entire system. Product final thick spent wash with 60% solids will be used in boiler for
incineration.
INCINERATION OF CONCENTRATED SPENT WASH
The final concentrate from the Evaporators (60% solids w/w) will be incinerated in the Boiler by
mixing with coal. The condensate from the Evaporation system will be reused in the plant operation.
Zero discharge will be implemented as per CREP recommendations. ETP diagram shown below
