The total waste water generation from the Sugar plant along with the Cogeneration Plant of
existing unit will be 380 M3 /day & waste water generation from proposed unit will be 360
M3 /day. The generated wastewater will be sent to Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and the treated
wastewater will be used for cane irrigation and green belt development.

4 .4 D ry fly as h an d F u rn ac e b ott om as h
Fly ash collected from the ESP hoppers and the airheaters hoppers and the ash collected from the
furnace bottom hoppers can be used as landfill. The ash content in bagasse is less than 2%. The
total fly ash 40 TPD will be used as manure. The high potash content in the bagasse ash makes
the ash as good manure.

v System Study
M/s. Bhima Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited . Takali-Sikander. Page 13
Executive Summary

The system description covers the plant description, storage & handling of fuels /
chemicals, etc.
v Hazard Identification
The hazards associated with the proposed Enhancement Project have been discussed in
terms of material hazards due to fuel storage.
v Frequency of Hazard Occurrence
Based on the available international statistics and in -house risk database, the frequencies
of occurrence for the different accident scenarios were determined. The frequencies
derived from the historical database have been checked with the possible hazard scenario
identified during hazard identification.
v Consequence Analysis
Based on the identified hazards, accident scenarios and the frequency of occurrence,
consequence calculations were done for spreading distances (zone of influence) or risk
distance for Pool fires.
v Risk Reducing Measures
Necessary risk reducing measures have been suggested based on the consequence
scenarios.

6.2 Remedial measures:

ü Storage in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from WATER,
HEAT, COMBUSTIBLES (such as WOOD, PAPER and OIL) and LIGHT.
ü Storage away from incompatible materials such as flammable materials, oxidizing
materials, reducing materials, strong bases.
ü Use of corrosion -resistant structural materials and lighting and ventilation systems in the
storage area.
ü Wood and other organic/combustible materials will not be used on floors, structural
materials and ventilation systems in the storage area.
ü Use of airtight containers, kept well sealed, securely labelled and protected from damage
ü Use of suitable, approved storage cabinets, tanks, rooms and buildings.
ü Suitable storage will include glass bottles and containers.

M/s. Bhima Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited . Takali-Sikander. Page 14

Executive Summary

ü Storage tanks will be above ground and surrounded with dikes capable of holding entire
contents.
ü Limit quantity of material in storage. Restrict access to storage area.
ü Post warning signs when appropriate. Keep storage area separate from populated work
areas. Inspect periodically for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
ü Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area.
The following measures are adopted for reducing the risk involved in pipeline systems.

7.0 Project Benefits

This project development will give rise to social and economic development measures in the
study area.

7.1 Improvement in Physical Infrastructure

Ø Road Transport facilities

Ø Educational facilities
Ø Water supply and sanitation
7.2 Improvement in Social Infrastructure
ü Education facilities
ü Banking facilities
ü Post offices and Communication facilities
ü Medical facilities
ü Recreation facilities
ü Business establishments
Community facilities

8.0 Environmental Management Plan

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) of the Expansion plant with respect to noise, air
quality, water quality, solid waste, ecology, landscape socio -economic measures.

8.1 Air Environment

M/s. Bhima Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited . Takali-Sikander. Page 15

Executive Summary

Ø All sources of dust generation in the Sugar Plant with Cogeneration Plant shall be well
designed for producing minimum dust and shall be provided with high efficiency Bag
filters and Wet Scrubber.
Ø Particulate Matter emission level from the stack chimney will be less than 50 mg/Nm3
and the stack height is 30m, 30m, 35m
Ø SO2 concentration will be negligible as the bagasse will be used as fuel for boiler.
Ø The periodic evaluation for the efficiency performance of Wet Scrubber will be carried
out.
Ø For controlling fugitive dust, in hopper, reclaimer, conveyors, silos etc. bag filters shall
be installed.
Ø Fugitive emissions due to storage, transportation, etc. and the leakages and spillages shall
be continuously monitored and controlled.
Ø Water conservation measures shall be undertaken for effective implementation. Cooling
water is put into closed circuit to minimize the evaporation losses.
Ø Thermal insulation will be provided wherever necessary to minimize heat radiation from
the equipment, piping etc., to ensure protection of personnel.

8.2 Noise Environment

ü The design features of machineries shall be provided to ensure low noise levels in the
working areas.
ü Extensive vibration monitoring system will be provided to check and reduce vibrations.
Allfans, compressors etc., are provided with vibration isolators to reduce vibration and
noise.
ü Provision for silencers wherever possible.
ü Green belt development will be done and it will act as noise reducers.
ü Requisite enclosures will also be provided on the working platform/areas to provide local
protection in high noise level areas.
ü All heavy earthmoving equipment will be kept in a well maintained condition.
ü Proper lubrication and house equipment will be kept in better condition.

8.3 Waste water Management

M/s. Bhima Sahakari Sakhar Karkhana Limited . Takali-Sikander. Page 16

Executive Summary

v No trade effluent shall be discharged from the Plants

v Cooling water is put into closed circuit to minimize the evaporation losses
v The domestic sewages from the Plants, Sugar Plant with Cogeneration Unit and
Township shall be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant.
v No percolation of treated water to deep ground water table is done.
v Periodical monitoring for specific parameters shall be done regularly.
v Rainwater harvesting structures shall also be developed.

8.4 Rain Water harvesting System

The rain (storm) water from the building roofs, non-process area and grade level surfaces will be
directed through the rain water harvesting structures and excess water will be directed through
open drains to the storm drainage system. The storm water from the storm drainage system will
be discharged outside the plant boundary.

8.5 Occupational Health & Safety

During operation stage, dust causes the main health hazard. Other health hazards are due to gas
cutting, welding, noise and high temperature and micro ambient conditions especially near the
boiler and platforms, which may lead to adverse effects (Heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat
stress reaction) leading to local and systemic disorders.

8.6 Design of Green Belt

The Area Calculation for Green Belt Plan
Table No. 8.2 Area Details
Description Area
Total plot area (Sugar & Co -gen) 9,20000 Sq. M.
Built up area 36837 Sq. M.
Total Open space 883163 Sq. M.

For Detailed Area break up of industrial unit refer Table.

Executive Summary

9.0 Conclusion
The potential environmental, social and economic impacts have been assessed. The proposed
Sugar Unit and Cogeneration Plant will have certain levels of marginal impacts on the local
environment. Implementation of the project will have beneficial impact in terms of providing
direct and indirect employment opportunities. There will be a positive socio -economic
development in the region. Quality of life of the people will be improved. Recommendations
made in the CREP for Sugar Plant will be implemented. B.S.S.K.L will also undertake various
community welfare measures for the upliftment of the villages of the study area
