Brief Description of Project site
JSL is located in the Bhima river belt, which is ideal basin for growing rich varieties of sugar
cane to achieve highest yield. In view of the cane availability at NAD KD, JSL has
establishedSugar unit and proposed to enhance from 2500 TCD to3500 TCD capacity with
cogeneration of 27 MW.
The site is centrally located in the area of operation and is in heart of sugarcane area.
The project site is well connected to the village roads for transportation of sugar cane by
carts/trucks. An adequate skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labourforce is available in the
study area.Theinfrastructure facilities like power, road, communication facilities, and banks
are available around the project site.
1.4
Project Importance to the Country & Region
The sugar industry scenario in Karnataka and in Nation is very bright as India being the
second largest producer of sugarcane in the world and the second largest producer of sugar
next to Brazil. There is a very good scope for export of quality sugar.
Present Status of Demand and Availability
The existing Sugar factories could not crush all available cane from the areas of operation
and hence, rest of the sugarcane is being taken to the sugar factories in neighbouring
districts of Karnataka and Maharashtra.Presently, the cane grown by farmers are diverting to
the sugar factories located in Maharashtra, in this connection farmers are suffering like delay
in disposal, less price, less payment etc., Thus, the farmers are facing problems of disposal
of sugarcane in 3-4 seasons. This situation has demanded to need Sugar units at this area.
The demand for electrical power has been increasing at a faster pace after the country‟s
economic development the pace speeded up, especially in Karnataka which has been the
hub of software services. The effective generation of power has not been meeting the
demand and the same trend is expected to continue, especially during the peak hours and
summer seasons. Hence, there is good scope for exporting power to the third parties using
the state grid through power traders / purchasers.

Brief Description Of The Above Process Steps Are Given Below:I.
Extraction of Cane Juice From Cane
The cane which is brought from fields by carts/trucks/tractors, weighed and unloaded in the
cane carrier for extraction of juice from sugarcane.
The unloaded cane will pass through preparatory devices (Chopper, leveller and fibrizer).
The preparatory devices will cut the cane stalks into pieces. The prepared cane enters mills
consist of multiple units of three roller combination through which the prepared cane.To aid
in the extraction of juice spraying thin juice from previous mills and water before last mill,
directed on the blanket of Bagasse as it emerges from each mill help to leach out the sugar.
Use of Bagasse
The residue that leaves the last mill is called bagasse contains un-extracted sugar, woody
fibre and water. The bagasse will be used as fuel to produce steam and power as cogeneration. The generated steam will be used to run turbines for power generation. The
outlet of the turbine i.e., low pressure steam will be used for mill juice processing. The
condensed water will be sent back to boiler for steam generation during off crushing season.
II.
Purification of Cane Juice – Clarification
The extracted juice from mills is strained to remove bagasse particles before sending for
process. This juice will be sent through a mass flow meter and the quantity automatically
recorded. The dark green juice from mills is acidic and turbid. The universal process
employed to remove both soluble and insoluble impurities is called Sulphitation process. The
juice will be heated up to 70C to 75C to avoid inversion. In sugar plant as a measure of

steam economy primary heating will be done by plate type heat exchanger using heat
energy available from the condensates of evaporators and pans.
Liming and Sulphitation
The process in whichmilk of lime(Ca(OH)2) is added to the juice simultaneously in juice
sulphiter, thereby pH of juice will be increased to 6.9 to 7.2.
CaO+H2O
Ca(OH)2 + Colour
The aim of this neutralization is to remove colourants from the juice, and to neutralize
organic acids. The formation of tri-calcium phosphate and sulphate, which are products on
sedimentation and carry impurities present in the liquid. Lime consumption (Cao) ranges
from 0.18 to 0.25 % on cane according to the treatment strength required.
The absorption of the SO2 gas (sulphurdioxide) by the juice takes place in juice sulphitor.The
SO2 gas is produced in the unit by burning sulphur in the presence of air, in special furnace
and the reaction is given below.
S+O2
SO2
The main objectives of Sulphitation are;

Sulphitation is the practice of adding sulphur dioxide (SO2) to process streams in a
sugar factory. This is done for one of three reasons :

1. pH control - the SO2 in aqueous solution forms sulphurous acid H2SO3(aq) which
reduces the pH of the process stream. An example of this would control of diffusion
water pH in a beet factory, where keeping the pH below 5.5 reduces the extraction of
pectin from the beet cell walls which helps pulp pressing.

2. Biocide - used in sufficient quantities the SO2 inhibits the life cycle of bacteria,
reducing the quantity of sugar lost by bacterial degradation to lactic acid. This is
similar to the use of sodium metabisulphite for sterilising home brewing equipment.
The efficiency of SO2 as a biocide is sometimes challenged in the literature.

Plant and 15 MW to 27 MW of Co-generation Power Plant

Jamkhandi Sugars Limited
– Unit II
3. Colour blocking - SO2 reacts with the carboxyl groups of invert sugars (glucose
and fructose) to inhibit their participation in the colour forming Maillard reaction with
amino compounds. By adding SO2 to juice before evaporation the increase in colour
through the evaporators is kept to a minimum, protecting the juice from excessive
colour formation at high temperature in the evaporators.

Decreasing the viscosity of the juice and consequently of the syrup, to reduce
viscosity and remove the colouring matters present in the juice. This ultimately
facilitates better evaporation and crystal development.
Average consumption of Sulphur can be estimated in between 0.05% to 0.06% on cane.
The sulphited juice is heated to approximately 101 to 1030C to accelerate and facilitate
the coagulation and flocculation of colloids and non –sugar proteins, emulsify fats and
waxes, or in other words accelerate the chemical process, increasing decanting
efficiency and also enabling removal of gas from the juice. The juice purification by
removing the flocculated impurities from the previous treatments. This process is carried
out continuously in equipment called a claifier. The clarified juice is removed from the
upper part of Solids Recycle Type Clarifiers (SRTC) and sent to the evaporation section
for concentration. The mud will be withdrawn from the bottom of the SRTC and sent to
rotary vacuum filter. In rotary vacuum filters, juice and filter cake will be separated by
vacuum. The cake that is discharged are applied to fields as fertilizer and in some
countries cane wax is extracted from this cake.
III.
Evaporation
The clarified juice obtained in the clarifiers constitutes 75% water. The first stage of
concentration is carried out in equipment called the evaporator, which operates
continuously. The evaporator consists of five bodies, connected in series so that the juice
undergoes progressive concentration from the first effect to the last effect to evaporate
75% of water which is present in the juice we require steam. Henceexhaust steam from
turbines at a pressure of 1.5 kg/cm2 at 133Cwill be fed to the effect of evaporator.
Subsequently due to the evaporation of the water in the first effect will yield the same

– Unit II
amount of vapour, which will be fed to the succeeding bodies. Due to the difference in the
pressure and the vacuum in the bodies the evaporation of juice will takes place in all the
evaporators. Initially clarified juice will have a brix of 14-160C, reaching 55-650C Brix from
the outlet of the V body. This syrup is passed through a tower consists of absorption of
the SO2 (Sulphurdioxide) by the syrup, lowering its original pH from 6.4 -6.8 to 4.6 -5.2.
The water vapour generated from 1st evaporator will be used in subsequent bodies and
the generated condensate will be utilised for cane juice extraction at mills, muddy juice
filtration at vacuum filters, milk of lime preparation, pan washing and centrifuge. The
excess condensate will be cooled and used for plant utilities and on land irrigation.
IV.Crystalisation
Crystallisation takes place in single effect vacuum pan. The syrup obtained from the
evaporator will be boiled until saturated with sugar. At this point „seed grain‟ is added to
serve as nuclei for the sugar crystals and more syrup is added as the water evaporates.
Continuing the above process the pans are filled up till the desire size crystals are built up
and dropped in mixers called crystallisers. The sugar and syrup forms a dense mass
known as Massecuite.
V. Separation of sugar and liquid by centrifugal force
From the crystallizers, the massecuite will be cured in the centrifugal machines . In
centrifugals the sugar and molasses will be separated.
In centrifugals there are two types of machines
I.
Continuous centrifugal Machines
II.
Batch Type centrifugal machine
The continuous centrifugal machines will be used for low grade massecuites like B and C
Massecuites. The separated molasses will be taken back to the process for extracting the
dissolved sugar which is present in molasses. The separated sugar having low purity is
made as a magma minglers and it will be melted in the sugar melter and will be taken
back to the A massecuite boiling.High grade massecuite i.e., A- Massecuite will be cured

in the batchtype centrifugals . The sugar discharged from the batch centrifugal has a high
moisture level with temperature of around 60 to 65 degree centigrade.
VI. Re-boiling of Liquid
The aim of sugar boiling is to recover more sugar and send less purity of molasses ( Final
Molasses) as by product.
„A‟ Massecuite
From Syrup and second grade used as „seed‟ nuclei and high purity washings from high
grade sugar (AL Molasses) high grade or „A‟ Massecuite is boiled. From this A‟
Massecuite we get white sugar, A‟ Heavy Molasses and AL molasses. This AL light
molasses will be sent back for A‟ Massecuite boiling. The AH molasses is being sent for
„A‟ Massecuite boiling. The AH molasses is being sent for „B‟ Massecuite
„B‟ Massecuite
The AH Molasses is taken in to batch pan and boil till the super saturation stage. At this
point „seed slurry‟ is added to serve as nuclei for the sugar crystals. Continuing the boiling
by feeding AH till the crystals size reaches to 160 to 180 µm. The grain will be transferred
to vacuum crystallisers, futher boiling takes place in continuous vacuum pans. The
continuous pan outlet massecuite size will be 250 to 300 microns .The „B‟ grade
Massecuite separation we will get B seed and B heavy molasses. The part of B seed will
be sent for A graining and balance for melting. B heavy molasses sent for „C‟ Boiling.
„C‟ Massecuite or Low Grade Massecuite
As this is the important massecuite from which mother liquor goes out as Final Molasses
must be of low purity. Hence, more number of small crystals must be present to have
larger area to deposit or de-sugar the mother liquor. Here the crystals are smallest to
achieve our aim.
Graining is done using „C‟ light and AH molasses in batch pan and boiled till the super
saturation stage. At this point seed slurry of 3 to 4 microns is added to serve as nuclei for
the sugar crystals. Continuing the boiling by feeding C light and BH molasses till the
crystals size reaches to 70 to 90 microns. The grain will be transferred to C vacuum

crystalliser. Further boiling takes place in continuous pans by feeding BH molasses. The
crystals size of pan outlet is 150 to 180 microns. The massecuite dropped to Mono
Vertical crystalliser for cooling . During cooling of the massecuite the temperature bring
down to 42 to 43 degree centigrade to achieve maximum sugar recovery. The cooled
massecuite fed to continuous centrifugals for separation. The separated mother liquor
termed Final Molasses will sent to distillery industry. The sugar separated from first curing
is mixed with water and sent for second curing. During second curing we will get C seed
and C light molasses. C seed will be sent for „A‟ Boiling and C light molasses sent for C
boiling.
VII. Drying
The separated sugar from „A‟ centrifugals cooling and drying of the sugar is carried out in a
multi tray hopper, in the hopper the cold and hot air will be pass in co-current direction to
bring down the moisture and temperature of the marketable sugar.
From the drier, the sugar passes through grader where the separation of sugar of various
grades depending on the size and colour like: L-30, M-30, S-30 and SS-31 will takes
place. The graded sugar will be collected in bins. The sugar from the bins will be weighed
in automatic weighing scale, stitched and will be sent to the sugar godown. Sugar is stored
in 50 kg PP bags and 100kg “A” twill gunny bags in sugar godown.

Introduction
Baseline environmental status in and around enhanced project depicts the existing
environmental conditions of air, noise, water, and soil, biological and socio-economic
environment. With this project as the centre, a radial distance of 10 km is considered as
‘study area’ for baseline data collection and environmental monitoring. Baseline data was
collected for various environmental attributes so as to compute the impacts that are likely to
arise due to proposed developmental activity.
The main aim of the impact assessment study is to find out the impact of the project on the
environment. This study is carried out during the project planning stage itself, so that the
proponent can implement the project in a technically, financially and environmentally viable
way.
Existing environmental conditions are enumerated by collecting baseline data. The
estimated impact due to the enhanced project is superimposed over the existing conditions
to arrive at the post project scenario. The scope of the baseline studies includes detailed
characterization of various environmental components, which are most likely to be
influenced by setting up an industry.
 Meteorological conditions
 Ambient Air Quality
 Noise Levels
 Water Quality (Surface and Ground water)
 Soil Quality
 Socio Economic studies and
 Land use
The baseline data generation for the EIA was carried out during the study period post–
monsoon season 2012 (October–November). The data is generated with respect to
meteorological conditions, air pollution levels, noise levels, water quality, soil quality and
socio economic conditions were carried out during the study period.Secondary

Meteorology
The study of meteorological conditions forms an intrinsic part of the environment impact
assessment study. The meteorological conditions of an area and the industrial process are
both intertwined and each has a definite influence over the other.
Regional meteorological scenario helps to understand the trends of the climatic factors. It
also helps in determining the sampling stations in predicting the post project environmental
scenario. Meteorological Scenario exerts a critical influence on Air Quality as the pollution
arises from the interaction of atmospheric contaminants with adverse meteorological
conditions such as temperature inversions. Atmospheric stability and topographical features
like hills, canyons and valleys.
The critical weather elements that influence air pollution are wind speed, wind direction,
temperature, which together determines atmosphere stability. Hence it is an indispensable
part of any air pollution studies and required for interpretation of base line information.
An automatic weather station was installed in the plant area to study the meteorological
conditions of the study area. It was placed at a height of about 10 m above the ground level
ensuring that there is no obstruction to the free flow of wind. Apart from the wind speed and
direction, temperature, relative humidity and rainfall were also measured.
On site monitoring was undertaken for various meteorological variables in order to generate
site-specific data. Hourly average, maximum and minimum values of wind speed, direction,
relative humidity and temperature were recorded continuously for the study period. The
meteorological data recorded and used for interpretation of the baseline information as well
as for prediction analysis.
Hourly wind speed and direction recorded during the study period to identify the influence of
meteorology on the air quality of the area. Wind rose on sixteen - sector basis i.e., N, NNE,
NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW and NNW is prepared.
During the study period the maximum and minimum temperature, relative humidity and
rainfall recorded and wind speeds and pre dominant wind directions observed are given in
Table – 3.1.

Noise Environment
The impact of industrial noise on surrounding community depends on
 Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous or continuous in nature). It is well
known that a steady noise is not as annoying as one that is continuously varying in
loudness.
 Time of the day at which noise occurs, for example loud noises at night in residential
areas are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance.
 The location of noise source with respect to noise sensitive areas determines the
loudness and period of noise exposure.
Thebaseline data survey for noise levels in the study area has been carried out by selecting
8 noise-monitoring locations. The noise quality monitoring locations are shown in table below
and are shown in the topographical map Figure-3.2.

Biological Environment
An ecological survey of the study area was conducted particularly with reference to listing of
flora and fauna. Assessment of area, surrounding the project site in respect of plant species
and animals were carried out by collecting field data and collating available information from
the forest department. The flora and fauna details are presented in Table 3.13 and
Table3.14 respectively.
Flora
The cropping pattern in the district reveals that food crops like jowar, maize, bajra and wheat
among cereals, red gram, Bengal gram and green gram among pulses are major crops
cultivated in the district. The major oilseed crops are sunflower, groundnut and safflower.
Horticulture crops like grapes, pomegranate, ber, guavasapota, lime are also grown. Recent
trend shows that there is a low shift towards fruit crops like Pomegranate and grapes of the
total area of 8.61 lakh ha. Covered during 2002-03 cereals occupy about 55.2% by oilseeds
24.5% pulse 15.6% and other commercial crops like cotton and sugarcane about 4.8%
There is slight shift towards commercial crops like cotton and sugarcane over last 2 years.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
4.0
Identification of Impacts
This chapter presents identification and appraisal of various impacts due to the proposed
EnhancedSugar Plant with Cogeneration Unit. The environmental impacts can be
categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed
directly to the project and secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and
typically include associated investment and changed pattern of social and economic
activities due to the project.
The impacts have been assessed during the construction and operation phase of the Sugar
Plant with Cogeneration power plant on different environmental components:4.1
Impacts during Construction Phase and Mitigation Measures
Probable environmental impacts during construction phase are typically due to activities
related to clearing of vegetation, leveling of site, civil constructions erection of structures and
installation of equipment.
4.2
4.2.1
Air Environment
Impact on Air Quality
The main sources for impact of air quality during construction period is due to movement of
vehicles and construction equipment at site, dust emitted during leveling, grading,
earthmoving, foundation works, transportation of construction material etc. Hence, during the
construction phase, particulate matter (PM10& PM2.5) would be the main pollutants. The
emissions from vehicles and construction equipment could also be of some concern on a
local level.
Air Pollution Mitigation Measures
The dust generated will also be fugitive in nature, which can be controlled by sprinkling of
water. The impacts will be localized in nature and the areas outside the project boundary are
not likely to have any major impact with respect to ambient air quality.
The construction of proposed units would result in the increase of SPM concentrations due
to fugitive dust. Frequent water sprinkling in the vicinity of the construction sites would be
undertaken and will be continued after the completion of plant construction as there is scope

forheavy truck mobility. It will be ensured that diesel powered vehicles will be properly
maintained to comply with exhaust emission requirements.
4.2.2
Noise Environment
Impact on Noise Levels
The major sources of noise during the construction phase are vehicles and construction .The
operation of the equipment can generate noise in the range 85-90 dB (A) near the source.
The noise will be generated within the plant boundary and will be temporary in nature.
Noise Levels Mitigation Measures
The noise control measures during the construction phase include provision of caps on the
construction equipment and regular maintenance of the equipment. Equipment will be
maintained appropriately to keep the noise level within 75 dB(A). Wherever possible,
equipment will be provided with silencers and mufflers. High noise producing construction
activities will be restricted to daytime only. Further, workers deployed in high noise areas will
be provided with necessary protective devices such as ear plug, ear-muffs etc. Overall, the
impact due to increase in noise on the environment would be insignificant, localized and
confined to the day hours.
4.2.3
Water Environment
Impact on Water Resources and Quality
Impact on water quality during construction phase is due to non-point discharges of sewage
generated from the construction work force stationed at the site. Plantsanitation facilities
(septic tanks) will be utilized for treatment and disposal of sanitary sewage generated by the
work force.
Runoffs from the construction yards and worker camps during monsoon could affect the
quality of water bodies in the project area. Further there is possibility of water stagnation in
ponds and ditches which can create an environment conducive to disease carrying vectors.
Water Pollution Mitigation Measures
Toilets with septic tanks will be constructed at site for workers and it will be ensured that
domestic wastewater generated in worker colonies does not flow to water bodies. The
overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to expansion activities is
likely to be short term and insignificant. By adopting necessary mitigation measures the
overall impact on water environment during construction phase of the project will be
temporary and insignificant.

Jamkhandi Sugars
Limited – Unit II
Land Environment
Impact on Land use
Preparatory activities like construction of access roads, temporary offices, and go-downs,
piling, storage of construction materials etc. will be confined within the project area. These
will not exercise any significant impact except altering the land use pattern of the existing
site. The impact will be insignificant on the adjoining land. No forestland is involved.
Therefore, impact will be negligible.
Impact on Topography
Topographically, the area forms slightly elevated land and general elevation is from North to
South. Most of the area forms plain land covered with mixed soil. Adequate storm water
drains will be provided to collect and carry the surface runoff during monsoon to the natural
drainage system of the project area.
4.2.5
Socio-economic Environment
The socio-economic impacts during the construction phase of the proposed Enhancement
Sugar plant with Cogeneration Plant could result due to migrant workers, worker camps,
induced development etc. Increase in floating population.
The local population will have employment opportunities in related service activities like petty
commercial establishments, small contracts/sub-contracts and supply of construction
materials for buildings and ancillary infrastructures etc. consequently, this will contribute to
economic up liftment of the area.
Normally, the construction activity will benefit the local population in a number of ways,
which include the increase in requirement of construction skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled
workers, tertiary sector employment and provision of goods and services for daily needs
including transport.

Local people will be given preference for employment depending on their suitability;

All the applicable guidelines under the relevant Acts and Rules related to labour
welfare and safety will be implemented during the construction phase;

The contractor has been advised to provide fire wood/kerosene/LPG to the workers
to prevent cutting of nearby trees for firewood; and

The construction site will be secured with fencing and is having guarded entry points.

Meteorological Data
The meteorological data recorded continuously during the study period on hourly basis on
wind speed, wind direction and temperature has been processed for application of ISC
AERMOD View model.
Simulation Model for Prediction using Industrial Source Complex AERMOD View
The pollutants released into the atmosphere will disperse in the down wind direction and
finally reach the ground at farther distance from the source. The concentration of ground
level concentrations mainly depends upon the strength of the emission source and
micrometeorology of the study area.

In order to estimate the ground level concentrations due to the emission from the proposed
project, EPA approved Industrial Source Complex AERMOD View Model has been
employed.
The mathematical model used for predictions on air quality impact in the present study is ISCAERMOD View. It is the next generation air dispersion model, which incorporates planetary
boundary layer concepts.
The AERMOD is actually a modelling system with three separate components: AERMOD
(AERMIC Dispersion Model), AERMAP (AERMOD Terrain Pre-processor), and AERMET
(AERMOD Meteorological Pre-processor).
Special features of AERMOD include its ability to treat the vertical in homogeneity of the
planetary boundary layer special treatment of surface releases, irregularly-shaped area
sources, a plume model for the convective boundary layer, limitation of vertical mixing in the
stable boundary layer, and fixing the reflecting surface at the stack base.
The AERMET is the meteorological pre-processor for the AERMOD. Input data can come
from hourly cloud cover observations, surface meteorological observations and twice-a-day
upper air soundings. Output includes surface meteorological observations and parameters
and vertical profiles of several atmospheric parameters.
The AERMAP is a terrain pre-processor designed to simplify and standardize the input of
terrain data for the AERMOD. Input data include receptor terrain elevation data. Output
includes, for each receptor, location and height scale, which are elevations used for the
calculation of airflow around hills.
4.3.3
Post Project Scenario
Predicted maximum ground level concentrations considering micro meteorological data of
Post Monsoon (Oct- Nov) 2012 are superimposed on the maximum baseline concentrations
obtained during the study period to estimate the post project scenario, which would prevail at
the post operational phase. The overall scenario with predicted concentrations over the
maximum baseline concentrations is shown in the Table 4.2along with isopleths shown in
Figures 4.1 to 4.3.

The predicted ground level concentrations obtained when superimposed on the baseline
concentrations are well within the prescribed NAAQ Standards.
Mitigation Measures
The power plant operates during cane crushing season and off season by using bagasse as
a fuel. Electrostatic precipitator is proposed for the boiler. The height of the stack is fixed at
90 m as per CPCB guidelines.
Fugitive emissions at transfer points will be controlled by water sprinklers.
4.4
Impact on Noise Levels
The equipment in the plant would be designed for noise levels not exceeding 90 dB(A) .
Proper encasement of noise generating sources will be done to control the noise levels
below 75 dB(A) at plant boundary.
The steam turbine generator is provided with acoustic enclosures and silencers in the
exhaust. The steam turbine is housed in a closed building which considerably reduces the
noise. In case of maintenance, the persons working near the steam turbine generator
building are provided with ear muffs.
Green belt in an area of 32.35 acres will be developed all around the plant which will act as a
noise barrier.
In general the following methods will be adopted to control the noise pollution from the
proposed Enhancement Project units: The use of concrete and masonry walls and barriers – keeping in view the benefits of
stiffness weight and cavity construction and the need to provide well sealed sound
attenuating doors and windows.
 The use of complete or partial enclosures
 Attenuation by use of sound absorbents on walls and fixed or suspended ceilings
 Introduction of control and monitoring rooms having good sound insulation properties
 The use of vibration insulation techniques

4.5 Impact on Water Quality
Effluent from water treatment plant
Hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide will be used as regenerants in the proposed
demineralising water plant. The acid and alkali effluents generated during the regeneration
process of the ion-exchangers would be drained into an epoxy lined underground
neutralizing pit. Theseeffluents are self-neutralizing.However, provisions will be made such
that the effluents will be neutralized by addition of either acid or alkali to achieve neutral pH
of 7.0.The effluent will then be pumped into the effluent treatment plant for treatment.
Chlorine in cooling water
In the auxiliary cooling water, residual chlorine of about 0.2 ppm
Boiler Blow down
The salient features of blow down water from the point of view of pollution are, the pH and
temperature of water since suspended solids are negligible. The pH would be in the range of
9.8 to 10.3 and the temperature of blow down water will be 100C. The quantity of about 1.8
tonnes/hour of blow down is very small and hence, it is proposed to pull the blow down into
the trench and leave it in the effluent ponds.
Waste Water treatment
Waste water treatment for the plant will be based on discharges of the various wastewater to
ponds for clarification and filtration. Oily water will be treated separately to remove oil/grease
before discharge into effluent ponds. The oily water collection in the plant is basically due to
floor cleaning, leaky oil filters, etc.
4.5.1 Waste water generation
The total waste water generation from the Sugar plant along with the Cogeneration Plant will
be432 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.
4.6
Solid Waste
4.6.1 Dry fly ash and Furnace bottom ash
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 21.7 TPD will be used as manure. The high potash content in the
bagasse ash makes the ash as good manure.

Press mud of 140 TPD will be sold to farmers as manure.
The liquid molasses 140 TPD will be sent to distillery for manufacture of alcohol.
4.6.2 Sewage from various buildings in the plant
Sewage from various buildings in the plant area will be conveyed through separate drains of
the septic tank followed by soak pit. Sludge will be removed occasionally and disposed off as
a land fill at suitable places.
4.8
Impact on Ecology
The enhanced project will not have any significant impact on ecology as there are no reserve
forests in the study area and in addition to that the project will implement an effective
environmental management plan to control the emissions from the project.
Green belt development
The total project area acquired for plant is 98.04 acres, and 33% of it,32.35 acres will be
used for green belt development. Local species will be preferred for green belt development.
4.9
Demography and Socio-economics
The impacts due to enhanced project on demography and socio economic condition are as
follows: Increase in employment opportunities and Reduction in migrants to outside for
employment.
 Increase in literacy rate.
 Growth in service sectors
 Increase in consumer prices of indigenous produce and services, land prices, house
rent rates and Labour prices.
 Improvement in socio cultural environment of the study area.
 Improvement in transport, communication, health and educational services.
 Increase in employment due to increased business, trade commerce and service
sector.
 The overall impact on the socio economic environment will be beneficial.
4.10
Impact on Health
Adequate air pollution and noise control measures will be provided. The environmental
management and emergency preparedness plans will be prepared to ensure that the
probability of undesired events and consequences would be reduced, and adequate
mitigation measures will be provided in case of an emergency. The overall impact on Human
health is negligible during operation of plant.

Environmental Monitoring Program
Pollution Monitoring and Surveillance Systems
For Proposed Enhanced Sugar Plant and Cogeneration power plant, the Indian Emission
Regulations stipulate the limits for particulate matter emissions and appropriate stack
heights will be maintained for keeping the emission levels in the ambient within the air quality
standards.
The characteristics of the effluent from the plant would be maintained so as to meet the
requirements of the State Pollution Control Board and the National Standards for Sugar
Plant stipulated by the Central Board for Prevention and Control of Water Pollution.
Air Quality monitoring programme
The purpose of air quality monitoring is acquisition of data for comparison against prescribed
standards, thereby ensuring that the quality of air is maintained within the permissible levels.
It is proposed to monitor the following from the stack emissions:
Particulate Matter (SPM, PM10& PM2.5)

Sulphur dioxide

Oxides of Nitrogen
It is proposed to monitor particulate emission qualitatively and quantitatively in the stack and
with the aid of a continuous particulate stack monitoring system. The stack monitoring data
would be utilized to keep a continuous check on the performance of ESPs.
Further it is proposed to monitor and record the weather parameters such as temperature
(maximum & minimum), Relative humidity, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall etc. on daily
basis, for this purpose, it is proposed to install Weather Monitoring Station with necessary
gadgets.

Post Project Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring will be conducted on regular basis to assess the pollution level in
the plant as well in the surrounding area. Therefore, regular monitoring program of the
environmental parameters is essential to take into account the changes in the environment.
The objectives of monitoring are: To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to
new developments;
 To follow the trend of parameters which have been identified as critical;
 To check or assess the efficacy of the controlling measures;
 To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact
assessment study, do not become critical through the commissioning of new
installations or through the modification in the operation of existing facilities;
 To check assumptions made with regard to the development and to detect
deviations in order to initiate necessary measures; and
 To establish a database for future Impact Assessment Studies for expansion
projects.
The attributes, which merit regular monitoring, are specified below:
Air quality;

Water and wastewater quality;

Noise levels;

Soil quality;

Ecological preservation and afforestation; and


Risk Assessment
6.1
Introduction
The word 'disaster' is synonymous with 'emergency' as defined by the Ministry of
Environment and Forests (MoEF). An emergency occurring in the proposed Enhancement
plant is one that may affect several sections within it and/ or may cause serious injuries, loss
of lives, extensive damage to environment or property or serious disruption outside the plant.
It will require the best use of internal resources and the use of outside resources to handle it
effectively. It may happen usually as the result of a malfunction of the normal operating
procedures.
It is imperative to conduct risk analysis for all the projects where hazardous materials, fuels
are handled.
The following have been addressed as part of the risk analysis.

Introduction

Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis

Risk Reducing Measures
The Introduction deals with the objective and methodology of carrying out the risk analysis.
Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis discusses about the various types of hazards
associated with the operation of the Plant due to process, storage & handling, human errors,
electric failures and natural calamities. It also presents the calculated frequencies of
occurrence of different accident scenarios for the identified potential hazard occurrence in
the proposed plant and the details of consequence modelling/ analysis for the identified
potential accidents/disaster scenarios in the plant.
Risk Reducing Measures based on the calculated frequencies and consequences.

Objective
The principal objective of the study is to identify the potential hazards from the proposed
Enhancement Project and estimate the effects of the hazards to people and property within
the plant premises.
The consequences resulting due to accidental release of toxic & flammable liquids and
leakage of fuels, will provide data for developing strategies to prevent accidents right from
design to operational phase. This will also generate information for formulating a meaningful
Disaster Management Plan (DMP).
A risk analysis is defined as an assessment of the likelihood of a release of HAZMAT
(hazardous materials) and the consequences that may result, based on information gathered
during the hazard identification and vulnerability analyses. Risk analysis requires evaluation
of existing base and local community plans, response capabilities, and previous incidents.
In order to determine the risk factor at each facility on the base, the following information
was evaluated: Procedures for storing, handling, shipping, and transferring of HAZMAT;
 Facility information including: physical features and location of storm and sanitary
sewer systems;
 Site measures for managing and controlling HAZMAT releases; and,
 Base emergency response and preparedness programs.
6.3
Methodology
The Risk Analysis Study carried out under the following task heads: System Study
The system description covers the plant description, storage & handling of fuels /
chemicals, etc.
 Hazard Identification
The hazards associated with the proposed Enhancement Project have been
discussed in terms of material hazards due to fuel storage.
 Frequency of Hazard Occurrence

Limited – Unit II
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.
 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.
 Risk Reducing Measures
Necessary risk reducing measures have been suggested based on the consequence
scenarios.
6.4
Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis (HIRA)
The main hazard potentials in the Proposed Plant are categorized as below:
Material hazards; Diesel Oil as an auxiliary fuel to start-up and flame
stabilization of the boiler.
 Process hazards due to loss of containment during handling of hazardous
materials or processes resulting in fire, explosion, etc.
 Mechanical hazards due to "mechanical" operations such as welding,
maintenance, falling objects etc. - basically those NOT connected to hazardous
materials.
 Electrical hazards: electrocution, high voltage levels, short circuit, etc.
Out of these, the material and process hazards are the one with a much wider damage
potential as compared to the mechanical and electrical hazards, which are by and large
limited to very small local pockets.
6.4.1
Material Hazards
Diesel Oil is used as an auxiliary fuel, which is inflammable.
6.4.2
Process Hazards
No process hazards are assessed
6.4.3
Hazard Intensity Classification
The hazard intensities of the chemicals that are to be handled in the proposed Enhancement
plant (as per NFPA codes) are presented below.

 Storage in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from WATER,
HEAT, COMBUSTIBLES (such as WOOD, PAPER and OIL) and LIGHT.
 Storage away from incompatible materials such as flammable materials, oxidizing
materials, reducing materials, strong bases.
 Use of corrosion-resistant structural materials and lighting and ventilation systems in
the storage area.
 Wood and other organic/combustible materials will not be used on floors, structural
materials and ventilation systems in the storage area.
 Use of airtight containers, kept well sealed, securely labelled and protected from
damage
 Use of suitable, approved storage cabinets, tanks, rooms and buildings.
 Suitable storage will include glass bottles and containers.
 Storage tanks will be above ground and surrounded with dikes capable of holding
entire contents.
 Limit quantity of material in storage. Restrict access to storage area.
 Post warning signs when appropriate. Keep storage area separate from populated
work areas. Inspect periodically for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
 Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area.
The following measures are adopted for reducing the risk involved in pipeline systems.
Preventive Maintenance:
Routine inspection and preventive maintenance of equipment / facilities at the unit.
Instruments:
All the instruments like pressure, temperature transmitters/gauges and alarms switches and
safety interlocks will be tested for their intended application as per the preventive
maintenance schedule. Similarly, the emergency shutdown system will be tested as per the
preventive maintenance schedule.
6.6
Risk Mitigation Measures
The materials handled at the proposed installation are non-inflammable and non-reactive
substances and based on the consequence analysis; the following measures are adopted as
risk mitigation measures.

 The storage area, process area as well as road tankers loading/unloading areas
where there is maximum possibility of presence of flammable hydrocarbons such as
diesel in small quantities, it will be ensured that combustible materials are not placed
here such as oil filled cloth, wooden supports, oil buckets etc. to reduce the
probability of secondary fires in case of release.
 Hydrocarbon, smoke and fire detectors will be suitably located and linked to fire
fighting system to reduce the response time and ensure safe dispersal of vapours
before ignition can occur.
 Emergency procedures will be well rehearsed and state of readiness will be
achieved.
6.6.1
Possibilities, Nature and Effects of Emergency
Leaving aside earthquake, cyclone, flood, arson and sabotage, the possible
emergencies that can arise in the plant due to storage and handling of the above
materials are:
 Explosion in boilers, turbo generators, and transformers.
 Accidental release of huge ash slurry
 Chlorine leakage in the water treatment plant
 Accidental fire due to some other reasons
6.7
Disaster Management Plan
This DMP has been designed based on the range, scales and effects of "Major
Generic Hazards" described in the Risk Assessment Report just mentioned and on
their typical behaviours predicted therein. The DMP addresses the range of thermal
and mechanical impacts of these major hazards so that potential harm to people
onsite and off-site, plant and environment can be reduced to a practicable minimum.
The scenarios of loss of containment are credible worst cases to which this DMP is
linked.
The project is in its formative stage and detail engineering is yet to be done, so the
elements of the DMP are based on concepts.

Capabilities of DMP
The emergency plan envisaged will be designed to intercept full range of hazards
specific 'to Cogeneration power plant such as fire, explosion, major spill etc. In
particular, the DMP will be designed and conducted to mitigate those losses of
containment situations, which have potentials to escalate into major perils.
Another measure of the DMP's capability will be to combat small and large fire due to
ignition of flammable materials, either from storage or from process streams and
evacuate people from the affected areas speedily to safe locations to prevent
irreversible injury.
Emergency medical aid to those who might be affected by incident heat radiation
flux, shock wave overpressures and toxic exposure will be inherent in the basic
capabilities.
The most important capability of this DMP will be the required speed of response to
intercept a developing emergency in good time so that disasters such as explosion,
major fire etc. are never allowed to happen.
6.7.2
Disaster Control Philosophy
The emergency control philosophy of the plant is in line with its normal operational
controls. The emergency control room will be the plant's Central Control Room,
which will employ Distributed Control System (DCS). All emergency operations,
which may involve shutdown of the plant, will be controlled from the Central Control
Room by the same operator(s) using dedicated "Shut-Down Consoles". The consoles
will send commands to initiate the shutdown procedure. Plant shutdown system will
be performed by DCS.
The principal strategy of DMP of the plant is "Prevention" of identified major hazards.
The "Identification" of the hazards will employ one or more of the techniques [e.g.
Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP), accident consequence analysis etc.]. Since
these hazards can occur only in the event of loss of containment one of the key
objectives of technology selection, project engineering, construction, commissioning
and operation is "Total and Consistent Quality Assurance". The Project Authority will

6.8.7
Assembly Point
In an emergency, it will certainly be necessary to evacuate personnel from affected
areas and as precautionary measure, to further evacuate non-essential workers, in
the first instance, from areas likely to be affected, should the emergency escalate.
The evacuation will be effected on getting necessary message from i.e. On
evacuation; employees would be directed to a predetermined safe place called
Assembly Point.
Proposed Location: Area opposite to service building will be the Assembly Point
where all non-key personnel would assemble on getting direction over PublicAddress System.
Outdoor assembly points, predetermined and premarked, will also be provided to
accommodate evacuees from affected plant area(s). Roll call of personnel collected
at these assembly points, indoor and outdoor will be carried out by roll call crew of
safety team to account for any missing person(s) and to initiate search and rescue
operations if necessary.
6.8.8
Declaration of Emergency
An emergency may arise in the terminal due to major leakage of oil or major outbreak
of fire. In case of major leak or major outbreak of fire the state of emergency has to
be declared by the concerned by sounding Emergency Siren.
Upon manual or sensor detection of a major loss of containment of volatile
hazardous substance, the DMP is activated by raising an audible and visual alarm
through a network of geographically dispersed gas/vapour and heat detectors and
also "break glass" type fire alarm call points with telephone handsets to inform the
Central Control Room.

A separate siren audible to a distance of 5 km range will be available for this
purpose. The alarm is coded such that the nature of emergency can be distinguished
as a leakage or major fire.
The Control Centre and Assembly point have been located at an area of the
minimum risk or vulnerability in the premises concerned, taking into account the wind
direction, areas which might be affected by fire/explosion, leakage etc.
After cessation of emergency, FSO will communicate to IC. After verification of
status, IC will communicate with SC and then announce the "All Clear" by instructing
the Time Office to sound the "All Clear Signal".
Alarms would be followed by an announcement over Public Address System (PAS).
In case of failure of alarm system, communication would be' by telephone operator
who will make announcement in the complex through PAS. Walkie-talkie system is
very useful for communication during emergency with predetermined codes of
communication. If everything fails, a messenger could be used for sending the
information.
Two 5 km, range variable pitch electric sirens (one in service and the other standby)
will generate the main alarm for the entire site as well as for the district fire brigade.
The alarm is coded such that the nature of emergency can be distinguished as a
leakage or major fire. Fire and Gas alarm matrices are provided at the Central
Control room, security gate, on-site fire station and main administrative office corridor
to indicate location of the site of emergency and its nature.
6.8.9
Mutual Aid
Procedure
All factories may not be equipped with an exhaustive stock of equipment/materials
required during an emergency. Further, there may be a need to augment supplies if
an emergency is prolonged.
It would be ideal to pool all resources available in the and nearby outside agencies
especially factories during an emergency, for which a formal Mutual Aid scheme
should be made among industries in the region.
6.8.10 Essential Elements
Essential elements of this scheme are given below: Mutual aid must be a written document, signed by Location In-charge of all the
industries concerned

 It should specify key personnel who are authorized to requisition materials
from other industries or who can send materials to other industries
 It should state clearly mode of receipt of materials at the affected unit without
waiting for quantity/quality verification etc.
 Revision number and validity of agreement should be mentioned
 This may be updated from time to time based on experience gained
6.8.11 Emergency Management Training
The Key Personnel would undergo special courses on disaster management. This
may preferably be in-plant training. The Managers, Senior Officers and Staff would
undergo a course on the use of personal protective equipment.
The Key Personnel belonging to various Teams would undergo special courses as
per their expected nature of work at the time of emergency.
The plant management should conduct special courses to outside agencies like
district fire services to make them familiar with the plant layout and other aspects,

Solid Waste Management
Dry fly ash and furnace bottom ash
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 21.7 TPD will be used as a landfill. The high potash content in the
bagasse ash makes the ash as good manure.
Press mud of 140 TPD will be sold to farmers as manure.
The liquid molasses 140 TPD will be sent to distillery for manufacture of alcohol.
Sewage from various buildings in the plant
Sewage from various buildings in the plant area will be conveyed though separate drains to
the septic tank. The effluent from septic tank will be disposed in soil by providing disposing
trenches. There will be no ground pollution because of leaching due to this. Sludge will be
used as manure for green belt development.
8.2.4
Water and Wastewater Management
Continuous efforts would be made to reduce the water consumption and thereby to reduce
the wastewater generation. Flow meters would be installed for all major water inlet and the
flow rates would be continuously monitored. Periodic water audits would be conducted to
explore the possibilities for minimization of water consumption.
Water will be drawn from Bhima River to meet the plant consumptive water requirement.
Considering the quality of water, the Cycle of Concentration (COC) of the cooling tower is
considered as 1.5.
Waste water Management
The treated water quantity will be used for dust suppression.
Water Pollution control measures to be undertaken are given as under: No trade effluent shall be discharged from the Plants
 Cooling water is put into closed circuit to minimize the evaporation losses
 The domestic sewages from the Plants, Sugar Plant with Cogeneration Unit and

 Rainwater harvesting structures shall also be developed as proposed from the roof
tops of Plants as well as Township areas to supplement the water supply from the
river.
Wastewater treatment
Waste water treatment for the plant will be based on discharges of the various effluents to
ponds for clarification and filtration. Oily water will be treated separately to remove oil/grease
before discharge into effluent ponds. The oily water collection in the plant is basically due to
floor cleaning, leaky oil filters, etc.
Clarification is used to settle out large suspended particles and condition smaller colloidal
particles to make them settle. A pond, reservoir tank or tank is used to allow larger particles
to settle in a matter of hours. The finer particles overflow and are made to settle more quickly
by the addition of chemical agents, coagulants and polymers that cause agglomeration to
sizes large enough to settle out of suspension.
As required and with approvals from appropriate regulating bodies, final waste stream pH is
controlled by combining various plant streams to provide a neutral pH product. Where
needed, acid or alkali addition will be used to achieve the final pH.
Final Disposal of the wastewater
The treated effluent from the effluent tank will be used for horticulture and green belt
development within the plant.
Monitoring of Wastewater Treatment
The treated effluent would be monitored regularly for the flow rate and quality to identify any
deviations in performance of Effluent treatment plant.
Thermal Pollution Management
A closed circuit cooling water system with cooling towers is present in the existing area. This
eliminates the letting out of high temperature water into the canals and prevents thermal
pollution. Blow down from the cooling tower will be trenched out and ultimately conveyed to
the effluent ponds. Hence, there is no separate pollution on account of blow down from
cooling water system.
8.4
Rain Water harvesting System
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

The precautionary measures, which will be followed to reduce the risk due to dust on the
workers, engaged in and around the material handling areas:
 Adequate arrangements are made for preventing the generation of dust by
providing the chutes at transfer points to reduce the falling height of material,
preventing spillage of material by maintaining the handling equipment, isolating
the high dust generating areas by enclosing them in appropriate housing and
appropriately de-dusting through high efficiency bag filters;
 Massive plantation will be undertaken in the plant. The tree cover acts as a sink
for both gaseous as well as particulate matter.
 Due care will be taken to maintain continuous water supply in the water spraying
system and all efforts would be made to suppress the dust by water spraying at
appropriate points;
 All material handling systems are automatic. The workers engaged in material
handling system will be provided with personal protective equipment like dust
masks, respirators, helmets, face shields etc;

Design of Green Belt
Green belt development in around 33 % of the total plant area i.e. 32.35 acres will be developed.
Green belt of around 50 m width will be provided throughout the periphery of the existing
project site.
8.7.1 Green Belt and Plantation Plan
Green belt development in an industry is one of the most effective environmental pollution
control measures. Trees play vital role in keeping the ground level concentrations in control
within the plant premises and also in preventing the horizontal dispersion of the pollutants to
the surrounding areas. They are very effective in trapping the pollution causing agents viz.
dust and gaseous pollutants. They are also considered to be excellent indicators of
excessive ground level concentrations. The green belt is being proposed for the following
objectives.
Out of the total 98.04 acres of land, green belt will be developed 33% in 32.35 acres. Apart
from the bulk plantation around the boundaries, Roadside avenue plantations will also be
taken up. Based on the agro-climatic conditions of the region, location of the Sugar Plant
with Cogeneration Unit, physico-bio-chemical properties of the soil strata, nature of the
pollutants and their rate of dispersion, it is suggested to develop greenbelt around the plant.
Such green areas would improve the floral status and serve the dual purpose of arrest of any
fugitive dust from unpaved or open areas and also help to abate the noise effects through
dampening effects.
