CHAPTER 2

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

It is then fed into the centrifuge, where the crystals of Magnesium Sulphate are separated from the mother liquor. The mother liquor is taken back to the reactor for the next batch. Water is pumped to the settling tank and the impurities left in the settling tank are leached 4 or 5 times with water till it is free from Magnesium Sulphate. Then it is filtered through a filter press and stored in weak solution tanks. The filter cake obtained in the filter press is dried in the drying yard along with the un-reacted ore removed from the settling tank periodically, pulverized, packed, stored and sold. The Magnesium Sulphate crystals obtained from centrifuge is packed and dispatched, or it is dried in the MgSO 4 drying yard and packed depending upon the requirement of the buyer.

Reactor The main reaction for the manufacture of Magnesium Sulphate takes place here. The reactor is a circular M.S. tank with a dia. of 3M and a height of 4M placed at a height of 2M above the ground level Reactor is fitted with an agitator, gear box & electric motor. Fresh water, mother liquor and weak Magnesium Sulphate solution obtained from the mud washers are taken to the reactor. Required quantity of LCM (MgO) is added-Spent Sulphuric acid from the measuring tank is slowly added into the reactor till all the added LCM is neutralized. The neutral solution is drained into settling tank below.

Acid Storage Tank These are horizontal cylindrical tanks made up of mild steel, and are used to store spent Sulphuric Acid. Spent Sulphuric acid which is transported in lorry tankers are pumped into these tanks and stored. They are housed over a platform made up of granite slabs and the platform is provided with dyke wall for safe keeping.

CHAPTER 2

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Settling Tank & Weak Liquor Storage Tank Settling tank is a M.S. tank of 12.5 KL capacity with a size of 2 M x 5 M x 1.25 M. This tank is used to store the impure MgSO 4 coming from the reactor. The weak liquor storing tanks are made up of M.S with diameter of 2.4 M and a height of 2.5 M. These tanks are used to store the weak MgSO 4 solutions.

Crystallizers These are again made up of Mild steel and are half cylindrical at the bottom and rectangular at the top. It is provided with stirrers for constant stirring. Hot concentrated solution of Magnesium Sulphate from the filter press is drained into these and is allowed to cool slowly to room temperature with constant stirring, when crystals of MgSO 4 are formed. When the solution reaches the room temperature which it normally does in 24 hrs it is drained into the centrifuge.

Centrifuge This is used to separate the crystals of MgSO 4 present in the solution drained from crystallizer. The crystal magma is drained into the inner drum at the top, which has perforations. When switched on, the inner drum containing the crystals rotates thereby edging the solution out. The solution coming out is collected in a storage tank known as mother liquor storage tank. The crystals are removed through a false cone provided at the bottom

Light Calcined Magnesite This is an industrial product obtained by the calcinations of Magnesite lumps in a calcinator and is the other raw material for MgSO 4 . After calcination, the lumps are powdered and sold. Its chemical formula is MgO.

CHAPTER 2

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Acidulation Section In this section processing takes place. This section consists of mixer and den (Main & R.P.) and acid feeder. The mixer is a horizontal blending machine having mixing and knee ding section. Ground rock phosphate and dilute Sulphuric acid is continuously fed into Mixer in fixed proportion. Due to continuous agitation by rotating paddles. First two stage of reaction take place over here and the mass is converted into thick slurry. A particular temperature and suction is maintained over here, for proper reaction. The slurry is discharged by mixer directly into the other slow moving machine called den. Den retains the slurry for advancement of reaction. Retention time of material in this section can be changed based on the process need. A slow speed cutter is installed at the discharge end of den. The den cutter chops the solid material into fine pieces, before discharging it from den. The material is discharged by den continuously & slowly up to 85-90 % of reaction is completed at this stage. The material being discharged by den is Green Super Phosphate. The balance reaction continues & is completed slowly, in heap in next few days. Den discharged is shifted & heaped in Curing yard.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Pollution Control In Process: During acidulation fluorine content of rock phosphate is evolved as SiF4 gas. Fluorine bearing gases are evolved during the reaction are to be removed before discharge to atmosphere. The gases evolved during reaction in mixer and den is sucked by a high suction blower & is scrubbed in circulating water. This section consists of H.V. jet scrubber, Ventury scrubber, cyclone separator, I.D. fan & Chimney for sucking the gases from point of generation & discharging to atmosphere at height of thirty Five meter, from ground level after due cleaning. All the specially designed equipment of the section is lined with different anti-corrosive materials. This scrubber liquor, namely H2SiF6, is kept in lined pits for settling. The solid silica in the liquor is separated here & kept. The clear liquor is kept in storage tanks & is used in process for manufacturing of Green Super Phosphate. The H 2 SiF 6 liquor can also be used for manufacturing other Fluorine based chemicals, such as Sodium Silico Fluoride. The silica can be sold or used as filler after sun drying. As the liquor generated is recycled & used in process hence there will not be any liquid discharge from the plant.

In Hot Air Generator: Flue gas generated due to burning of bio-coal will be allowed in to Multi Cyclone Dust separator, where mostly Dust particle will be settled down due to gravitational flow & only clean Gas will be generated after ID fan & Chimney.

CHAPTER 3

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS The baseline status of the environment quality in the vicinity of the project site serves as the basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of the impacts. The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field studies within the impact zone for various components of the environment, viz. air, noise, water, and land and socio-economic. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed in the winter season (December 2010 February 2011) in a study area of 10 km radial distance from the project site. Knowledge of baseline environmental status of the study area is useful for Impact Assessment Process of assessing and predicting the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Significant action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effect on the health of the biota including flora, fauna and human being, socioeconomic conditions, current use of land and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and biophysical surroundings. Baseline data generation of the following environmental attributes essential in EIA studies have been studied and included in the report. 1. Meteorology 2. Ambient Air Quality 3. Ambient Noise Quality 4. Surface and Ground water Quality 5. Soil Quality & Geological Features 6. Land use pattern 7. Biological Information 8. Socio-economic status survey

CHAPTER 3

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPACT ZONE Deciding whether a proposed action is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects is central to the concept and practice of EIA. Before proceeding for baseline data generation, it is important to know the boundary limits and framework, so that the data generated can be utilized for the effective and accurate prediction of the environmental impact assessment of the proposed project.

3.3 METEOROLOGY Air borne pollutants is dispersed by atmosphere motion. Knowledge of these motions, which range is scale from turbulent diffusion to long-range transport by weather systems, is essential to simulate such dispersion and quality of impacts of air pollution on the environment. The purpose of EIA is to determine whether average concentrations are likely to encounter at fixed locations (Know as the receptor), due to the given sources (locations and rates of emission known), under idealized atmospheric conditions. It is imperative that one should work with idealized condition and all analysis pertaining to air turbulence and ambient air or noise pollution should be done with meteorological conditions, which can at best be, expected to occur.

3.4 MICRO-METEOROLOGY OF THE AREA The climate of the district is characterized by hot summer and general dryness except in the coastal region. The year is divided into four seasons. The cold season December to February followed by the hot season from March to May, June to September is South-West Monsoon season and October and November form the post monsoon season. The Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Cambay in the west and the forest-covered hills in the east soften the rigors of climatic extremes, consequently reducing the temperature and render the climate more pleasant and healthy.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT 3.6.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Locations The air quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of ambient air quality monitoring locations. The tropical climatic conditions mainly control the transport and dispersion of air pollutant emissions during various seasons. The baseline studies for air environment include identification of specific air pollutants prior to implementation of the project. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study requires monitoring of baseline air quality during one season. Accordingly, air quality monitoring was carried out in the winter season from Dec. 1, 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011. The baseline status of the air environment is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance programme, which is planned based on the following criteria: Topography / terrain of the study area Regional synoptic scale climatologically normal Densely populated areas within the region Location of surrounding industries Representation of regional background Representation of valid cross-sectional distribution in downwind direction

3.6.2 Reconnaissance Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air environment in the study region. Five nos. of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) locations were selected based on guidelines of network sitting criteria. All AAQM locations were selected within the study area of 10 km radial distance from the project site. 3.6.3 Methodology for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of June 1998 and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of CPCB of May 1994. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) was carried out at five locations during winter season. The maximum numbers of sampling locations were selected close to the project site and in the study area of 10 km radial distance around the plant site. The monitoring was carried out 24 hours a day twice a week per location in the study area except the project site, where continuous monitoring was carried out. Twelve numbers of observations were taken at each monitoring location except the project site. The locations of the different stations with respect to its distance and direction from project site are shown in Table- 3.3 and Figure-3.2 respectively.

(3) Operation: The dust laden gases enter the pre- separation plenum 1. 2. Where they meet the low baffle plate The baffle wall protects the sleeves against the direct flow. The air velocity is reduced in the pre- separation plenum. The coarse dust fraction leaves the air flow and falls into the dust collection hopper. The gas laden with the fine remaining dust enters the filter plenum. After deflection by the baffle plate.

3. 4.

5&6. The sleeves (6) fitted over supports (5) receive the flow in the outside. The fine dust is deposited on the outside of the filter sleeves. 7. 8. 9. The air penetrates through the filter fabric into the inside of the sleeves and rises into the clean air plenum. From here it can either be led out of the doors. Or returned to the workshop. The control of the cleaning process for the filter sleeves depends either on the differential pressure or an infinitely electronic timer. The dust particles clinging to the filter sleeves are removed through short, sharp compressed air impacts. Compressed air at 5-7 bar shoots out of electronically activated diaphragm valves into the corresponding opened distribution line and from there into the nozzles. The cleaning stream causes a strong counter pressure in the sleeve. The sleeve, which until then was passed against its support, is suddenly extended to its full size. The particles of dust are blown off. Small dust is blown off. Small dust particles, which had penetrated the filter fabric, are loosened by the short, but strong cleaning flow, and pressed back to the dust- laden side.

CHAPTER 3

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

When the diaphragm valves have closed, the cleaned filter sleeves are once again ready for the normal filter process. All rows of sleeves are cleaned in a fixed sequence. The cleaning time is so short that practically always the whole filter surface of the filter is available. Moreover the necessary compressed air quantity in relation to the flow volume is the same up- and down- line of the filter. The compressed air impacts are controlled by an electronic timer. Impacted regularity can be continuously set with the electronic timer, depending on the type and amount of dust. 3.6.7 General Observations The observations based on the study results are summarized in Table-3.4 (A-F): PM 10 & PM 2.5 : The average values for PM 10 were observed to be between 98.6 g/m3 to 26.3 g/m3 against a maximum permissible limit of 100 g/m3 for industrial as well as for residential areas. While average value for PM 2.5 were observed to be between 59.0 g/m3 to 8.7 g/m3 against a maximum permissible limit of 60 g/m3 for residential areas & 60 g/m3 for industrial areas which is well within the permissible limits of NAAQS. SO 2 & NO X : The average values for SO 2 were observed to be between 19.2 g/m3 to 3.6 g/m3 against a maximum permissible limit of 80 g/m3 for residential areas & 80 g/m3 for industrial areas. The average values for NO X are observed to be between 46.8 g/m3 to 5.0 g/m3 against a maximum permissible limit of 80 g/m3 for residential areas & 80 g/m3 for industrial areas, which is well within the permissible limits of NAAQS. HF: The average values for HF are observed to be between 0.6 g/m3 to 0.0 g/m3 against a maximum permissible limit of 4.0 g/m3 for residential areas & 4.0 g/m3 for industrial areas, which is well within the permissible limits of NAAQS. We have used guassian plume model for gases to be generated from our stack / vents on nearby our area attached as per the data mentioned below in Table No. 3.7 (A-E) . The Plume model is as shown in Fig 3.4- 3.8(A) The air quality contour is prepared as per latest available IMD data & its impact area on satellite map is attached as per Fig 3.4-3.8(B)

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

3.7 WATER ENVIRONMENT 3.7.1 Design of Network for Water Sampling Locations The water quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of water quality sampling locations. The baseline studies for water environment include identification of specific parameters of the pollutants prior to implementation of the project. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study requires monitoring of baseline water quality during one season. Physico-chemical parameters have been analyzed to ascertain the baseline status of fresh water in the existing surface water and ground water bodies. Samples were collected once during the study period for winter season on December 2010 & February 2011. The baseline status of the water environment is assessed through a systematic water quality surveillance program, which is planned based on the following criteria: Densely populated areas within the region. Location of the surrounding industries. Representation of regional background.

3.7.2 Reconnaissance Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of the air environment in the study region. Six nos. of water sampling locations were selected within the study area of 10 Km radial distance from the project site.

3.7.3 Methodology for Ground Water and Surface Water Sampling: The ground and surface water sampling was carried out as per the prescribed sampling guidelines and analysis standards of CPCB for water sampling and analysis. Ground water sampling was carried out at 6 different locations & surface water sampling was carried out from 5 different sites out of which 4 sampling locations were nearby pond and 1 sample was taken of river Mahi.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

There will be only domestic waste water generation which will be allowed in u/g soak pit system. There shall be no industrial waste water generation.

Chloride and Sulfates are found in the range of 22.8 440 mg/L and 7.38 48.9 mg/L respectively. TDS are found in the range of 296 1170 mg/L.

3.8 AMBIENT NOISE MONITORING Industrialization, urbanization, construction activities etc., have a direct bearing on the noise level of the surrounding environment pertaining to such activities. Noise intensity beyond certain tolerable limits may interfere with communication in work, apart from causing annoyance and health hazards. Impact of noise on environment depends on various factors such as intensity distance from source, time of exposure and nature of activities, machineries, traffic etc. Hence, it is necessary to measure the ambient noise levels in order to determine the environmental impact so that appropriate measures could be adopted if needed to abate noise pollution. The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to establish the baseline noise levels, and assess the impact of the total noise that is expected to be generated during the construction, and operation of the proposed project activities. Noise monitoring has been undertaken for 3 hr interval at each location. Noise monitoring was carried out to establish ambient noise levels in the study area. The details of the sampling stations are given below in the Table 3.10 and their locations area are shown in Figure 3.10

The noise level data at various locations are as mentioned in Table 3.11. From the noise level data recorded from the study area it is observed that the average noise level recorded at Station N1 (Project site) is higher than that recorded at other stations. This can be attributed towards noise created due to vehicle movement on the road and other domestic activity in the area.

3.14 FOREST BOUNDARIES The forest cover is classified based on Forest Survey of India into Dense (> 40% crown density), open (between 10 to 40 % crown density) and Scrubs (shrubby bush of less than 10 % crown density). The vegetation classification criterion used for this study area is given as follows: Dense Vegetation is the lands with forest cover with canopy density of equal or more than 40 percent. Medium Vegetation is the land with forest cover with canopy density of 10 to 40 percent. Open Vegetation is the land with forest cover with canopy density less than 10 percent. Scrubs are the lands generally in and around forest areas, having bushes and/or poor tree growth chiefly of small or stunted trees with a canopy density less than 10 percent. 3.14.1 Method of Preparation The vegetation cover for the area of interest has been prepared by extracting the areas under four different vegetation classification provided by the Forest Survey of India (FSI) based on IRS-ID LISS III data for the past two years for the State of Gujarat. There is no Reserved Forests and Protected Forests within the 10 km radius area from project site. The project site and area of interest have been added for ease of special reference.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT 4.1 Introduction Impact assessment describes identification and appraisal of various impacts due to the proposed project. "Environmental Impact" can be defined as any alteration of environmental conditions or creation of a new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under consideration. Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project, secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investment and changed patterns of social and economic activities by the proposed action. The impacts have been predicted for the proposed project assuming that the pollution due to the existing activities has already been covered under baseline environmental monitoring.

4.2 Impact Assessment Matrix From the Table-4.1 significant impacts are identified. They are further elaborated with characterization and assessment in Table-4.2 and Table-4.3.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.3 OVERALL IMPACTS The impacts arising out of the said projects have been listed. 4.3.1 Impact on Land/Soil

T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. will take all reasonable precautions to make its solid waste storage / treatment areas impervious to water and leachate migration. This will prevent soil contamination. The land is having fairly flat terrain. The construction activities may result in loss of topsoil to some extent in plot area where the development has to be made. The topsoil will be conserved and will be reutilized for gardening/landscaping. Only roof type shed required for additional products including process machinery. Only ground structure will be constructed for roof type shed. Thus, soil quality is not adversely impacted by T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. plant operations. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures discussed in Table 4.3 of this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given to prevent soil contamination in the future. The land acquired is of non- notified Industrial Estate and will be utilized for Industrial Purpose. As our unit is zero discharge units, soil quality is not adversely impacted by T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. plant operations. 4.3.2 Impact on Air Quality

The baseline status of the Ambient Air Quality shows that PM- Due to the development activities of the proposed project there would be increase in the particulate matter as well as some increase in the SO 2 and NO x levels due to the vehicular movement inside the premises. Location and distance of ambient air monitoring stations were selected as already mentioned in Chapter-3. Ambient air monitoring carried out in winter season shows that the ambient air quality for PM 2.5 , PM 10 , SO 2, and NOx are within the limits specified by CPCB.

CHAPTER 4

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

Impact on ambient air due to T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. Plant operations will be due to only operation of Hot Air Generator and the process gas. The consumption of Industrial wood (Bio Coal) will be only 16 Ton/Day. Hence, it can be concluded that T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. Emissions are causing negligible impacts on air quality. Further, it is emphasized that all the emissions have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures discussed in Table 4.3 of this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 8, to maintain ambient air quality within norms in the future. 4.3.3 Impact on Groundwater

Water requirement for the project will be met through the Borewell. The water required will be 32.5 Kiloliters/Day. There will be no effluent generation. Hence, a. Impact on receiving surface water body: There will be no adverse impact on receiving water body. b. Impact on ground water quality: Ground water consumption per year will be: 32.5 KL 300 = 9,750 KL/year. Ground water recharged due to proposed Rain water Harvesting System will be 11,837.79 KL/year which will be more than the expected water consumption. Thus there will be positive impact on ground water. Moreover ground water quality was tested at five different locations in the study area. Most of the parameters are within limits prescribed by C.P.C.B standard. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd., will take all necessary precautions to make its solid waste storage / treatment areas impervious to water and leachate migration. It follows from the above that ground water quality will not adversely impact by T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd.s activities. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures discussed in Table 4.3 of this chapter and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 8, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.

4.3.4

Impact on Noise Levels

The noise level within the plant premises has been tabulated in chapter 3. As per observations undertaken the Ambient Noise Level is within norms of Residential Area and well below the norms of Industrial Area. With the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, the noise levels at plant boundaries will be well below the limits specified for industrial areas. The major sources contributing to Noise pollution during the plant operation will be Compressor, and Pumps etc. The operation of the equipment will generate noise ranging between 70-80 dB (A). It follows that noise levels are not adversely impacted by T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. plant operations.

4.3.5

Impact on Terrestrial Ecology

As the surrounding has mixed land use i.e. residential, industrial and commercial, no loss of flora & fauna is envisaged during any phase. Some trees existing on the plot area to be developed need to be trimmed, this is not an impact. However more trees will be planted within the plot area.

Flora The prediction of impacts on the floristic components of the environment is as follows: Analysis of biotic factors reveals that ambient air and fresh water quality will remain, practically, unaffected. Thus, indirect adverse impact on flora is ruled out. The floristic component of the study area does not include any rare or endangered species. Thus, impact on rare and endangered species of flora is ruled out.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

Fauna The prediction of impacts on the faunal components of the environment is as follows: The quality of ambient air and fresh water system will remain, practically, unaffected. Thus indirect impact due to these abiotic factors is ruled out. The Industry does not envisage destruction of habitat and feeding or breading area of fauna species. No rare or endangered species of fauna are reported to exist in the area. Thus, no impacts on rare / endangered species are envisaged due to normal operations. Thus direct adverse impact on faunal species is ruled out due to normal operation of the T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. industry.

4.4. Mitigation Measures Each of the activities during production phase is critically reviewed for suggestion of mitigation measures. Based on this the Table 4.3 gives the mitigation measures for the activities considered to be causing significant environmental impacts during production phase. In general the best housekeeping practices are incorporated in the design as well as in production phase to reduce the short terms impacts due to the proposed activities.
