a.Process description
Crude oil is heated and fed into a distillation column. As the temperature of the crude oil in the distillation column rises,
the crude oil separates itself into different components, called “fractions.” The fractions are then captured separately. Each
fraction corresponds to a different type of petroleum product, depending on the temperature at which that fraction boils off
the crude oil mixture.

Hazard identification and details of
proposed safety systems
Hazard identification is the process used to identify all the possible situations in theworkplace where people
may be exposed to injury, illness or disease. Identification of causes and type of hazards is the primary task for
planning for risk assessment.
A preliminary hazard analysis is carried out initially to identify the major hazards associated with storages and
51
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
the processes of the plant. This is followed by consequence analysis to quantify these hazards.
Hazardous chemicals:
In a refinery, hazardous chemicals can come from many sources and in many forms. In crude oil, there are not
only the components sought for processing, but impurities such as sulphur, vanadium, and arsenic compounds.
The oil is split into many component streams that are further altered and refined to produce the final product
range.
Most, if not all, of these component stream chemicals are inherently hazardous to humans, as are the other
chemicals added during processing. Hazards include fire, explosion, toxicity, corrosiveness, and asphyxiation.
Information on hazardous materials manufactured or stored in a refinery should be supplied by the client's
representative when a work permit is issued
Health and hygiene hazards
Major potential air contaminants which can escape from a typical refinery operation and their major sources. It
does not attempt to identify all such possible hazards.

– corrosive to skin and tissue
– designated substance under industrial regulations
Care should be exercised at all times to avoid inhaling solvent vapours, toxic gases, and other respiratory
contaminants. Because of the many hazards from burns and skin contact, most plants require that you wear
long-sleeved shirts or coveralls
Confined spaces
On most jobsites there are potential confined space hazards. These hazards are multiplied, however, on a
refinery site because of the complex collection of tanks, reactors, vessels, and ducts combined with a wide
varietyof hazardous chemicals and emissions, often in enclosed areas. Many of these chemicals can produce
oxygen- deficient, toxic, or explosive atmospheres. Knowledge of general confined space procedures and
specific in-plant requirements are both critical in refinery work. For more information, refer to the chapter on

Health hazards:
Routes of entry
Inhalation & Skin
Effects of Exposure/Symptoms
Effects w.r.t concentration
Inhalation can cause headache,
disorientation, dizziness,
drowsiness and possibly
unconsciousness at concentrations
that cause oxygen deficiency and
asphyxiation.
Rapidly expanding gas or
vaporized liquid may cause
frostbite to skin and eyes.
i) Concentration in air greater
than 10% causes dizziness in
few minutes.
ii) 1% conc. gives the same
symptoms in 10 metres.
iii) High concentration causes
asphyxiation.
Fire hazards:
Eliminate all sources of ignition, since motor spirit is highly inflammable.
Keep the containers cool by spraying water if exposed to fire or heat. If the container is not sufficiently cooled
it will explode in fire.
Use CO2, Dry Chemical Powder or Water Spray to extinguish fire.

Further details of stack emission are provided in theChapter 4 Section4.5.4 of EIA report.
Details of action plan for control of emissions:


vi. Measures
control
for
fugitive
emission
Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose.
Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the emissions of Nitrogen
Oxides (NOx).
 Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases of volatile hydrocarbon
streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released,
they will be directed to an elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming
an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.
 The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in
the refinery.Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also
envisaged..
 The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the refinery complex will meet all
the applicable standards/stipulations.
Details of action plan for control of emissions
 Minimum number of flanges, valves, etc.
 High grade gasket material for packing.
 Usage of state-of-the-art low leakage valves preferably with bellow seals.
 Usage of pumps with Double Mechanical seals for light hydrocarbon services.
 Provisions of floating roof storage tanks.

standards
for
Details of emissions from all the stacks
including volumetric flow rate.


Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose.
Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the emissions of Nitrogen
Oxides (NOx).
 Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases of volatile hydrocarbon
streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released,
they will be directed to an elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming
an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.
 The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in
the refinery.Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also
envisaged..
The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the refinery complex will meet all the
applicable standards/stipulations.

Oily sludge management plan.
The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in the
refinery. To ensure complete combustion of released hydrocarbons through flares, a pilot burner shall always be burning
with the aid of fuel gas. Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also
envisaged.
All the Safety valves are connected to the flare gas system (FGS). In the event of pop-up of the safety valves, flare gas
recovery system (FGRS) is in place to recover gas back in the fuel gas header
To control VOC emission from the Storage Tanks:

Heavier products have fixed roof tanks, whose Vapor pressure lower than the atmospheric pressure, results in no
emissions to atmosphere from the tanks.
 All Floating roof tanks have provision of primary and secondary seals to prevent emissions from the tanks.
IOCL Panipat Refinery has VOC Monitoring system in Existing Refinery and VOC facility in proposed Effluent
Treatment Plant will be installed in Proposed expansion
Oil Spill Management
Hay filters are installed along both the open channels running through Panipat Refinery to prevent spilled oil from
escaping out of the Refinery premises with the open channel water. Also oil traps have been installed at strategic locations
to arrest oil spillage.
Oily sludge generated from ETP shall be recovered for oil through oil recovery module. The residual sludge shall be bio
remediated using Confined Bioremediation as shown below:

i.Identification of hazards
Hazard identification is the process used to identify all the possible situations in the workplace where people may be
exposed to injury, illness or disease. Identification of causes and type of hazards is the primary task for planning for risk
assessment.
A preliminary hazard analysis is carried out initially to identify the major hazards associated with storages and the
processes of the plant. This is followed by consequence analysis to quantify these hazards.
Hazardous chemicals:
In a refinery, hazardous chemicals can come from many sources and in many forms. In crude oil, there are not only the
components sought for processing, but impurities such as sulphur, vanadium, and arsenic compounds.
The oil is split into many component streams that are further altered and refined to produce the final product range.
Most, if not all, of these component stream chemicals are inherently hazardous to humans, as are the other chemicals
added during processing. Hazards include fire, explosion, toxicity, corrosiveness, and asphyxiation. Information on
hazardous materials manufactured or stored in a refinery should be supplied by the client's representative when a work
permit is issued

Care should be exercised at all times to avoid inhaling solvent vapours, toxic gases, and other respiratory contaminants.
Because of the many hazards from burns and skin contact, most plants require that you wear long- sleeved shirts or
coveralls
Confined spaces
On most jobsites there are potential confined space hazards. These hazards are multiplied, however, on a refinery site
because of the complex collection of tanks, reactors, vessels, and ducts combined with a wide variety of hazardous
chemicals and emissions, often in enclosed areas. Many of these chemicals can produce oxygen- deficient, toxic, or
explosive atmospheres. Knowledge of general confined space procedures and specific in-plant requirements are both
critical in refinery work. For more information, refer to the chapter on Confined Spaces in this manual.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1
Project Description
Panipat Refinery (PR) was commissioned in 1997-98 with crude oil processing capacity of
6.0 MMTPA. The refinery capacity was raised in 2008-09 to 12.0 MMTPA with the addition
of another crude unit and a full conversion hydrocracker as the secondary processing unit and
Delayed Coker unit for bottom up gradation (PREP- Panipat Refinery Expansion Project).
Further through revamps and addition of process units the refining capacity has been brought
to the present operating capacity of 15.0 MMTPA (PRAEP- Panipat Refinery Additional
Expansion Project).
Panipat Refinery is integrated with Aromatic Complex and Naphtha Cracker Complex.
Aromatic complex consists of Paraxylene (PX) unit with production capacity of 360 KTPA &
Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) unit with production capacity of 550 KTPA which were
commissioned in 2006. Naphtha Cracker Complex with Ethylene production capacity of 857
KTPA was commissioned in 2010. At present revamping of PX, PTA and Naphtha Cracker
complex are under implementation.
Motor Spirit Quality Upgradation project with Naphtha Hydro treating unit (NHDT),
Isomerization (ISOM), FCC Gasoline Desulphurization unit (Prime G) was commissioned in
2010 for production of BS-IV quality compliant MS.
At present Panipat refinery has been upgraded to BS-VI grade fuel completely since 1st April
2020. Accordingly, EIL was asked to make a configuration study for 100% BS VI auto fuels
from existing 15 MMTPA Refinery. Stage-1 approval was accorded for production of BS-VI
compliant products with crude processing capacity of 15 MMTPA. In order to produce BS-VI
quality fuel, following units such as new DHDT (2.2 MMTPA), new HGU (44 KTPA), new
SRU (225 TPD), new ARU (189 m3/hr), new SWS (57 m3/hr) are envisaged in BS-VI
project has been commisioned.
Crude oil is received from two pipelines originating from Gujarat Coast. The first one is
SMPL(salaya Mathura pipeline), which supplies crude to Gujarat (Koyali refinery), Mathura
refinery and Panipat refinery. 2nd pipeline is MPPL(mundra Panipat pieline) 1194km long
and capacity is 8.4 MMTPA.

EIA Report
2.1.1 Type of Project
M/s Indian Oil Corporation limited, Panipat Refinery proposes “Panipat Refinery Capacity
expansion from 15MMTPA to 25MMTPA” falls under Schedule 4(a)–“Petroleum Refining
Industries” Category „A‟, since all the projects under this schedule falls under “A” category.
2.2
Need of the project
Panipat Refinery is strategically located to cater the increase in demand of Northern part of
India as compared to meeting the demand by sourcing of products from Refineries situated in
western part of India. Logistically, it will be more economical to cater the product demand
from Panipat Refinery.
There is adequate land available for expansion of Panipat Refinery facilitating smooth
execution of the expansion project.
There is wide network of Pipeline connectivity catering to large area and adequate facilities at
Marketing Terminal to facilitate evacuation of products at minimal cost.
There is reliable availability of other associated infrastructure like water and power from the
site. Availability of other in-house infrastructure for refinery operation, storage & dispatch
facilities of Petroleum Products at minimal cost.
In the above as per study carried out to expand the Refinery from existing 15.0 MMTPA to
25.0 MMTPA capacities with an objective to obtain viable configuration with economically
acceptable MIRR.
Industrial Demand under scenarios along with CAGR for intermediate years as provided by
PPAC is summarized below

configuration is provided in this section.
2.7.2.2 Crude Distillation Unit
a. Crude Charge and Preheat Train-I
Crude from offsite storage is received at CDU/VDU plant battery limit. The crude is
subsequently heated in preheat exchangers by hot streams of CDU/VDU. Crude picks up heat
in the preheat exchangers before being routed to Crude desalter.
b. Desalter
A 2-stage electrostatic Crude Desalter to be provided for removal of salt and water from the
crude to desired level. The principle of desalting operation requires mixing of preheated wash
water in a mixing valve with the crude under controlled conditions and to extract impurities.
c. Crude Preheat Train-II and Preflash
The crude from Desalter outlet is routed to the 2nd train of pre heat exchangers. Crude picks
up heat from hot streams of CDU/VDU and routed to Preflash drum. The liquid separated in
the Preflash drum is pumped to crude preheat train-III.
d. Crude Preheat Train-III
The pre flashed crude is heated in 3rd preheat train exchangers. Crude picks up heat from hot
streams of CDU/VDU and finally routed to crude heater.
e. Crude Heater
The preheated crude is fed to the crude heater and equally distributed to the heater passes
through pass balancer control valve. The total crude flow to the unit signal is sent to the crude
throughput controller, which sends signal to the furnace flow controllers.
f. Crude Distillation Column
Heated and partially vaporised crude enters crude column through feed nozzle. The column
has five side draws, namely, Light Naphtha (SN), Heavy Naphtha (HN), Kerosene (Kero),

f. Caustic Solution
Caustic solution is required in the unit for caustic make-up to Vent Gas Caustic Scrubber. 10
wt% caustic solutions is obtained from OSBL, which shall be used for make-up in Vent Gas
Caustic scrubber. 5 wt% Caustic solution might be required in the unit to be injected into
crude line downstream of desalter.
2.7.2.7 VGO HDT
VGO HDT unit shall treat the LVGO and HVGO from the CDU/VDU and gas oil from
bottom processing unit. Fresh feed is preheated, pumped and mixed with the preheated
recycle gas. The mixture is brought up to reaction temperature by the reaction furnace. In the
reactors the reactions are highly exothermic; therefore, the temperature at the inlet of each
bed is controlled by a quench gas injection. The reactor effluent is then fed into the hot HP
separator drum.
The vapor phase from hot HP separator is cooled and water is injected at the inlet of the air
cooler. The air cooler effluent is collected in the cold HP separator drum where three phases
are separated. The sour water is removed and routed to the sour water stripper system. The
gas phase is sent to the recycle gas HP amine absorber where almost all H2S is removed. The
recycle gas is separated in two parts, one towards quench and the other one with makeup gas
to feed effluent exchanger. The hydrocarbon liquid phase from the cold HP separator drum is
routed to the LP separator. At LP separator, the hydrocarbon liquid phase is combined with
146
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
hot HP separator liquid phase and routed to the inlet of the stripper where stripping is ensured
by injection of medium pressure steam at the bottom of the column. The overhead vapors
from the stripper is partially condensed by air and cooling water and collected in the reflux
drum. The liquid hydrocarbon phase is used part as reflux to the stripper and part is sent for
gas recovery.
The stripper bottom is heated and feeds the main fractionator where hydrotreated VGO is
stripped with superheated LP steam in the bottom section of the column. Fractionator
overhead stream is cooled and party refluxed back to the column and partly recovered as
unstabilized naphtha which is routed to Debutanizer. The diesel fraction is routed to side
stripper where part is recycled back to the column and part is obtained as diesel product.
Fractionator bottom product preheats the fresh feed, fractionator feed and reboils the
debutanizer and the deethanizer and also generates low-pressure steam and is finally cooled
in an air cooler before it is sent to storage.
LP separator vapor phase and stripper reflux drum vapor and liquid streams are routed to
Deethanizer via Deethanizer feed drum. Deethanizer bottom combines with Fractionator
reflux drum liquid phase to feed Debutanizer. Debutanizer overhead vapour is totally
condensed and part is routed back to column and net distillate is pumped as LPG.
The purpose of Absorber is to maximize LPG recovery which is achieved by counter flow of
cooled naphtha coming from Debutanizer bottom. Absorber overhead vapor go to LP amine
absorber from where sweet gas is obtained.
2.7.2.8 INDMAX FCC with Propylene Recovery Unit
INDMAX FCC is a fluidized catalytic process for selectively cracking a variety of feed
stocks to light olefins.
INMAX FCC is similar to conventional FCC in terms of basic process employed. But the
cracking is higher in INDMAX unit. The objective of this process is maximization of LPG
with higher selectivity towards propylene. LPG yield is typically 36-40 percent and
propylene is typically 20 wt%. Dry gas produced from this unit is rich in ethylene.
Hence, INDMAX unit provide opportunity for establishing downstream petrochemical units.
Propylene is recovered from LPG in downstream PRU and sent to downstream
Polypropylene unit. There is potential to use the dry gas rich in ethylene for the production of
styrene monomer after reacting with benzene to form ethyl benzene.
To achieve the higher conversions, unit operates at higher severity with high reactor
temperature, higher quantity of dispersion steam in the reactor and higher catalyst to oil ratio.
The catalyst employed is zeolitic in nature. High ZSM-5 to the extent of ~ 15% is added to
147
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
achieve the desired conversions and propylene make. Some licensors offer the catalyst
impregnated with ZSM-5.
The INDMAX unit reactor regenerator system utilizes a reactor/riser, catalyst stripper, 1st
stage regeneration vessel, 2nd stage regeneration vessel, catalyst withdrawal well and catalyst
transfer lines. Fresh feed, from upstream VGO HDT Unit, is finely atomized with dispersion
steam and injected into the riser through feed injection nozzles over a dense catalyst phase.
The small droplets of feed contact the freshly regenerated catalyst and instantly vaporize. The
oil molecules mix intimately with the catalyst particles and crack into lighter and more
valuable products.
As the reaction mixture travels up the riser, the catalyst, steam and hydrocarbon product
mixture passes through a riser termination device. This device quickly disengages the catalyst
from steam and product vapors. Reactant vapors are then ducted to the top of the reactor near
the reactor cyclone inlets, while catalyst is discharged into the stripper through a pair of
catalyst dip legs. The vapors with entrained catalyst pass through single-stage high-efficiency
cyclones. Reactor products, inerts, steam and a minute amount of catalyst flow into the base
of the main fractionator and are separated into various product streams.
Below the dense catalyst bed in reactor vessel, a steam ring strips off volatile hydrocarbon
material from reacted catalyst particles. Stripped catalyst leaves the reactor vessel through
catalyst withdrawal pipes and enters the 1st stage regenerator through a catalyst distributor
that disperses the catalyst onto the bed surface. Catalyst and combustion air flows counter
currently in the 1st stage regenerator vessel. Partially regenerated catalyst exits near the
bottom of the vessel through a hollow stem plug valve. A lift line conveys the catalyst into
the 2nd stage regenerator vessel utilizing lift air. CO-rich flue gas from the regenerator vessel
exits through two-stage high efficiency cyclones.
A mushroom grid evenly distributes the catalyst in 2nd stage regenerator vessel. Any carbon
remaining in the catalyst is completely burned off with an excess amount of air in this
regeneration stage. This results in high temperatures. Several design features like external
cyclones and a catalyst cooler are incorporated to minimize any mechanical and/or physical
temperature limitation. Hot regenerated catalyst flows into a withdrawal well, through
regenerated catalyst slide valves and into the "wye" section at the base of riser. Here, it meets
the hot feed. The INDMAX FCC gas recovery section employs a low pressure drop main
fractionator design with warm reflux overhead condensers to condense the large amount of
steam used in the convertor. A large wet gas compressor is required relative to FCC operation
because of high amount of dry gas and LPG. The absorber and stripper columns, downstream
148
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
of the wet gas compressor are specifically designed for enhanced C3 recovery at relatively
gasoline rates.
In addition to the above three products, the product fractionator separates the catalytically
cracked material into heavy naphtha, light and heavy cycle oils and catalyst slurry. The heavy
cycle oil is recycled back to the reactor. The catalyst slurry contains some lighter
hydrocarbon oil, clarified oil, which is subsequently separated and may be recycled back to
either the reactor or to the internal fuel oil pool.
The flue gas handling system downstream of the INDMAX regenerator requires
considerations no different than those of as FCC system. It consists of a flue gas slide valve
to control the differential pressure between the reactor and regenerator followed by an orifice
chamber. Heat is recovered by flue gas cooler in the form of high-pressure superheated
steam. Flue gas is de-sulphurized before sending out.
a) Propylene Recovery Unit
The Feed to the PRU consists of INDMAX Propylene from upstream INDMAX unit. The
feed is first sent to a Depropanizer to recover a C3-rich cut from the propylene. The
Depropanizer bottom is routed to the refinery LPG pool.
The Depropanizer overhead is totally condensed against cooling water in the Depropanizer
Condenser and the bubble point liquid enters Depropanizer Reflux Drum.
The Depropanizer pressure is maintained by the overhead pressure controller which permits
hot vapor to bypass the Depropanizer Condenser. The drum is pressurized by the hot vapor in
order to maintain the reflux drum liquid at, or near, bubble point. If non condensable build up
in the reflux drum, they can be purged to the High Pressure Separator on pressure control for
LPG recovery. Water condensed in the tower overhead system is routed to the Sour Water
Flash Drum. The hydrocarbon liquid out of the reflux drum is split into two streams; the
Depropanizer Reflux & PP Mix .The reflux is pumped back to the tower while the P-P Mix
pumps send the mixed C3‟s product stream to the Propylene Recovery Unit (PRU).
PP Mix (Depropanizer overhead) sent for drying & for RSH/COS removal. The dry, sulfurfree PP Mix is then sent on to the C3 Splitter system.
The PP Mix from the PP Mix RSH/COS Removal beds is fed to one of three feed trays in the
C3 Stripper. The C3 Stripper overhead is sent to the C3 Rectifier. The C3 Stripper uses highcapacity MD Trays. The C3 Stripper has an intermediate, or side reboiler and bottom
reboilers using hot water and LP steam as heating media. The bottom of the C3 Stripper, C3
LPG, is cooled by cooling water in the C3 LPG Cooler and sent on flow control to battery
limits for storage.
149
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
The C3 Rectifier gets feed from the overhead of the C3 Stripper. The C3 Rectifier also uses
high-capacity MD trays. The bottoms of the C3 Rectifier are pumped by the C3 Splitter
Transfer Pumps, on flow control reset by level, back to the C3 Stripper.
The overhead of the C3 Rectifier flows to the C3 Rectifier Condensers, condensed by cooling
water, and then to the C3 Rectifier Reflux Drum. There is a vapor-liquid equilibrium in the
reflux drum. The non-condensable vapor leaves the drum and is recycled back to the High
Pressure Separator Condenser in the gas plant. The pressure in the reflux drum is controlled
by a hot vapor bypass. It opens when the pressure is low. It resets the vent recycle flow when
the pressure is high. It is expected to always have a small vent recycle flow. The vent recycle
is on flow control and it is reset by pressure. The polymer-grade propylene (PGP) is
withdrawn below the tray #134.
2.7.2.9 Diesel Hydro treater
The Diesel Hydro treating Unit reduces the levels of sulphur and other contaminants in diesel
fuel products to meet regulatory specifications. The diesel feedstocks, including straight-run
diesel liquid streams from the Crude Distillation Unit and gas oil streams from the bottom
processing units, are mixed with recycle hydrogen and heated to the reaction temperature in a
fired heater. The feed mixture is passed over reactor beds (cobalt-molybdenum/ nickelmolybdenum catalyst) with inter-bed quench.
Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia by-products are removed in the water wash section and an
amine contactor downstream of the reactor. The aqueous wash fraction containing some
hydrogen sulfide and ammonia is removed in a separator, and routed to the sour water
collection system. The H2S-rich amine from the contactor is regenerated before being
returned to the recycle gas scrubber as lean amine.
The sweetened gas from the amine absorber is recycled back to the recycle gas compressor at
the reaction section inlet. A stream of H2-rich gas through makeup gas compressor meets the
feed stream.
Liquid organic effluent from the reactor is routed to a stripper where distillates and
unstabilized naphtha is separated. Unstabilized Naphtha is routed to a stabilizer to remove
light end hydrocarbons, which are routed to the LPG treating plant for processing and
stabilized naphtha is further processed.
The stripper bottoms are separated into naphtha, kerosene, and diesel fractions in a
fractionator column. Naphtha-cut boiling point material is removed as the overhead stream
150
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
and is sent for treatment. The hydro treated kerosene and diesel streams are sent to storage for
blending.
2.7.2.10
Naphtha Hydrotreater Unit
a. Naphtha Hydrotreater Section
Naphtha feed to NHT passes through a surge drum and a charge pump. It is then combined
with a H2-rich gas stream from the recycle gas compressor. The combined feed enters the
reactor feed/effluent exchanger, where the feed is heated. The heated feed is brought up to the
reaction temperature in a feed charge heater. The hot feed down-flows through a fixed-bed
reactor where the catalyst reacts with the feed to remove sulphur as H2S, in presence of
H2.The reactor effluent is cooled first in the reactor feed/effluent exchanger and then in the
product air cooler. Wash water is injected into the reactor effluent upstream of the product air
cooler so that any salt build up in the condenser may be washed out. Reactor effluent flows
out of the condenser at a low temperature to ensure complete recovery of naphtha and enters
the separator
The separator is provided with a mesh coalescer to ensure complete separation of vapor,
hydrocarbon liquid and sour water. Sour water is sent to SWSU, H2-rich vapor is recycled
back to the reactor through recycle gas compressor. A H2-rich makeup stream is fed into the
recycle stream through a makeup gas compressor. Liquid hydrocarbon from separator is
heated by heat exchange with stripper bottoms in stripper feed/bottom exchanger and enters
the stripper near its top. A steam reboiler provides stripper heat duty. Overhead vapor from
the stripper pass onto the stripper trim cooler partly condenses and separates into three phases
in the stripper receiver.
Net overhead gas from the stripper receiver is passed onto the refinery fuel gas system after
amine treatment to remove all H2S. Sour water from the receiver is sent to SWSU.
Hydrocarbon liquid from the receiver is sent back to the stripper as total reflux.
Hydrotreated sweet naphtha from stripper bottom is cooled in stripper feed/bottom exchanger
and then sent to naphtha/gasoline pool.
b. Naphtha Splitter Section
The Hydro treated Naphtha from Naphtha Hydro treating unit passes through a surge drum
and a charge pump. The feed enters the splitter column and is fractionated. The heat to the
fractionator is provided by a Reboiler. The Overhead vapors are condensed in the overhead
cooler into a Reflux drum. The overhead Light Naphtha is partially pumped as reflux to the
column and partially taken as Light Naphtha Product. The Heavy Naphtha from the bottom of
the splitter column is taken as Heavy naphtha Product.
151
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
The Light Naphtha becomes feed for Isomerization Unit while as Heavy naphtha becomes
feed to CCR Unit.
c. Continuous Catalytic Reformer Unit
The Catalytic Reforming Unit processes the heavy naphtha stream to make it more suitable
for the production of motor gasoline. The reforming process involves chemically rearranging
the hydrocarbon molecules to produce higher-octane materials. The octane number is a key
measure of motor gasoline performance. Hydrogen gas is produced as a by product of
reforming, and is used as feed to the Naphtha Hydro treater Unit, Distillate Hydro treater
Unit.
The heavy naphtha feed streams are mixed with recycle hydrogen, preheated by exchange
with reactor effluent, heated to reaction temperature in the charge heater and sent to the first
of a series of three to four reactors. Each reactor is preceded by a gas fired feed heater to
maintain a constant inlet temperature profile for the individual reactors (as reforming
reactions that take place in the reactors are predominantly endothermic). Effluent from the
last reactor is heat exchanged with the combined feed,
Condensed in the product trim cooler and sent to the separator. The reformed naphtha product
(reformate) is separated from the by-product hydrogen. A portion of the hydrogen is
compressed and recycled to be mixed with heavy naphtha feed material.
The remaining hydrogen is compressed for use in other refinery processing units.
The reformate product is fractionated in the debutanizer for separation of light ends. The
reformate liquid product is sent to storage, for use in motor gasoline blending. The Catalytic
Reforming Unit reactor catalyst is continuously regenerated in the Catalytic Reforming Unit
Catalyst Regenerator. The regeneration section of the reformer provides a continual stream of
clean coke-free active catalyst that is returned back to the reactors. Continuous circulation of
regenerated catalyst helps maintain optimum catalyst performance at high severity conditions
for long on-stream periods of reforming operation. Catalyst regeneration takes place in
dedicated equipment and uses nitrogen, air, and perchloroethylene as regenerating agents.
The Catalyst Regenerator performs two principal functions - solid catalyst regeneration and
circulation. Spent catalyst from the final Catalytic Reforming Unit reactor vessel is conveyed
to the Catalyst Regenerator, where it is regenerated in four steps:

Coke burning with oxygen,

Oxychlorination with oxygen and chloride,

Catalyst drying with air/nitrogen, and
152
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report

Reduction of catalyst metals to "reduced" oxidation states.
Exiting the Catalyst Regenerator, the regenerated catalyst is conveyed back into the first
Catalytic Reforming Unit reactor. Small quantities of hydrochloric acid and chlorine are
generated in the Catalyst Regenerator. The vent gas from the Catalyst Regenerator is
scrubbed in two stages with caustic solution and water in the Vent Gas Wash Tower for
removal of acid gases, in particular hydrochloric acid. From the Wash Tower, the cleaned.
d. Isomerization Unit
The fresh C5 /C6 feed is combined with make-up and re-cycle hydrogen which is directed to
a charge heater, where the reactants are heated to reaction temperature. The heated combined
feed is then sent to the reactor. Either one or two reactors can be used in series, depending on
the specific application.
The reactor effluent is cooled and sent to a product separator where the recycle hydrogen is
separated from the other products Recovered recycle hydrogen is directed to the recycle
compressor and back to the reactor section. Liquid product is sent to a stabilizer column
where light ends and any dissolved hydrogen are removed. The stabilized Isomerate product
can be sent directly to gasoline blending.
2.7.2.11
Resid Hydro processing Unit
a) Ebullated Bed Hydrocracker
Fresh hydrocarbon liquid feed is mixed with hydrogen and reacted within an expanded
catalyst bed that is maintained in turbulence by liquid upflow so as to achieve efficient
isothermal operation. Product quality is constantly maintained at a high level by intermittent
catalyst addition and withdrawal. Reactor products flow to the high-pressure separator, low
pressure separator, and then to product fractionation. Recycled hydrogen is separated and
purified.
Process features include on-stream catalyst addition and withdrawal, thereby eliminating the
need to shut down for catalyst replacement. The expanded bed reactors operate at near
isothermal conditions without the need for quenches within the reactor.
The reaction section uses a commercially proven low pressure hydrogen recovery system.
Separating the reactor effluent and purifying the recycled hydrogen at low pressure results in
lower capital cost and allows design at lower gas rates.
An available process option is the integration of Ebullated bed technology with distillate
hydrotreating or hydrocracking to produce high quality middle distillate products. This can
eliminate the need for additional downstream processing. Unconverted oil from an Ebullated
153
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
bed HCU can be sold as a stable, low sulfur IFO or sent to another heavy oil conversion unit
for further upgrading.
b) Slurry Hydrocracker
Slurry Hydrocracker Unit converts vacuum residue and other heavy residue feed stocks into
higher valued distillate products. The heart of this technology is its reactor that can operate at
high temperatures required to maximize vacuum residue conversion. Reactor conditions also
allow the majority of the products to vaporize and quickly leave the reactor, thereby
maximizing the residence time of the feed‟s heavier component and minimizing any
undesirable secondary cracking reactions which would produce lower valued products and
increase hydrogen consumption.
c) Catalyst Preparation Section
Catalyst is supplied to the refinery in the bulk form and stored in the raw catalyst storage silo.
The raw catalyst is then transferred from the storage silos to the hammer mills, then to a
second dust collector, weigh hopper, and finally into the slurry Mixing Tank and then
transferred to the Slurry Storage Tank. The slurry storage tank has a pump and internal
mixers to prevent any catalyst settling. The catalyst slurry is transferred to the feed heater by
the Slurry Injection Pumps.
d) Reaction Section
The reactor section configuration contains all of the equipment necessary to accomplish
where they are immediately quenched to terminate any reactions. The overhead streams from
the reactor are sent to the Hot Separator.
e) Gas Liquid Separation Section
Effluent from the reactor is cooled by direct quenching with cool recycle gas upstream of the
Hot Separator. The Hot Separator prevents heavy, high boiling reactor effluent components
from causing water separation problems in the downstream Cold Separator. The vapor from
the Hot Separator is cooled by heat exchange with recycle gas and reactor feed. Vapor is
further cooled and wash water is added to prevent the formation of salts. Final cooling of the
vapor takes place in the air cooler. The effluent then passes to the Cold Separator, where the
sour water, hydrocarbon liquid and hydrogen rich gas are separated into three phases. The
liquid from the Hot Separator flow so that the Hot Flash Drum. The Hot Flash Drum vapor is
cooled and sent to Cold Flash Drum. The hot flash liquid is sent directly to the Stripper in the
Fractionation Section. The feed to the Cold Flash Drum is cold separator liquid, cooled hot
flash drum vapor, and cold separator sour water. The Cold flash drum vapor can be sent to
Hydrogen Recovery. The liquid is preheated and sent to Stripper in Fractionation Section.
154
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
The hydrogen rich gas from Cold Separator id recycled back to the Reaction Section by the
recycle gas compressor. Make up hydrogen is added to make up the consumption of
hydrogen in various reactions.
f) Fractionation Section
This section contains all of the equipment to recover the light gaseous products and separate
the liquid hydrocarbons recovered in the flash drums into the desired boiling range fractions.
This section typically includes a Stripper, a Debutanizer, an atmospheric Fractionator and a
vacuum Fractionator. The purpose of the steam-stripped Stripper is to remove 99.99% of the
hydrogen sulfide overhead with negligible loss of kerosene boiling range material in the
overhead liquid. The Stripper overhead vapor is sent to the off gas treating section of the
refinery. Liquid hydrocarbons recovered in the Stripper overhead receiver are directed to
downstream Debutanizer. The Stripper bottoms product flows to the Atmospheric
Fractionator via Fractionator Feed Heater. In Atmospheric Fractionator naphtha and diesel is
recovered. In order to recover vacuum cuts, Atmospheric Fractionator bottom is routed to
Vacuum Fractionator where vacuum diesel, light vacuum gasoil and heavy vacuum gasoil are
produced. Unconverted pitch is obtained from Vacuum Fractionator bottom and sent to
storage.
g) Hydrogen Generation Unit
In a refinery, the reaction chemistry of hydro-processing units used for upgrading the straight
run products or for increasing middle distillate yields rely on continuous supply of high purity
hydrogen. For this purpose, Hydrogen Generation Unit is employed. The working of unit is
based on catalytic reforming and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system to produce 99.9
mole% pure hydrogen gases.
Hydrogen is produced by steam reforming of Regasified Natural Gas. LNG from surge drum
is pumped to LNG vaporizer. Vaporized LNG after mixing with recycled hydrogen and
superheated steam enters the pre-reformer. Superheated steam is added to adjust the steamcarbon ratio, and the mixture is heated. The superheated feed-steam mixture is distributed
through multi-tubular reactor consisting of high alloy reformer tubes containing nickel-based
catalyst. Reforming reactions produces CO, CO2 and H2, and heat for the endothermic
reaction is supplied by a number of burners with PSA purge gas and refinery fuel gas/
naphtha as fuel.
The reformed gas after being cooled undergoes shift conversion in shift converters. These are
cylindrical fixed bed reactors containing iron/chromium oxide or copper/zinc oxide catalyst.
Shift conversion reaction converts most of CO into CO2 and H2 in presence of the catalyst.
155
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
The heat removed from the converted process gas is used to vaporize and further heat the
feed, and preheat boiler feed water and demineralised water (make-up). Downstream of Shift
convertor is Process Condensate Separator where condensate is separated and routed for
BFW formation and steam generation.
Process gas is purified to remove inert gas impurities like CO2, CO, CH4, N2 and water vapor
by high-pressure adsorption of these impurities on molecular sieves, active carbon and
alumina gel in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system. All adsorbed gases are removed
during desorption and regeneration of the beds, and used as reformer burners fuel.
h) Sour Water Stripper Unit (Two stage)
The rich amine stream from various units is received by a flash column in ARU battery limit.
This flash column allows for the removal of any associated hydrocarbon along with some
H2S which might also be liberated. This H2S is removed from the liberated hydrocarbon
vapors by means of a lean amine which is brought into contact with the vapors in a counter
current fashion over packed bed.
The rich amine from flash column free of any associated hydrocarbon is routed to amine
regenerator column through lean amine/rich amine exchanger. This preheated rich amine
stream contacts with reboiler vapors from bottom in a counter current fashion.
This ensures removal of H2S from rich amine stream. The vapors obtained from column top
are condensed using a reflux condenser, the water thus obtained is sent back to the column as
reflux thereby preventing the escape of ammonia to overhead system by contacting the
vapors moving up in the column in a counter current fashion. The acid gases from column
overhead circuit are routed to SRU in steam jacketed lines. In case of SRU shutdown or high
pressure in column, the acid gases can also be routed to acid gas flare network.
2.7.2.12
Amine Regeneration Unit
Rich amine from various absorber units is received in a flash column. Rich amine is allowed
to flash in the column to drive off hydrocarbons. Some H2S also gets liberated.
The liberated H2S is again absorbed by a slip stream of lean amine solution making counter
current contact with liberated gases over a packed bed.
From the flash column, the rich amine is pumped by rich amine pumps under flow control to
amine regenerator, after preheating in lean amine/rich amine exchanger. In lean amine/rich
amine exchanger, the heat is supplied to rich amine by hot lean amine on shell side from the
bottom of amine regenerator under level control. The lean amine from lean amine/rich amine
exchanger is further cooled in lean amine cooler and routed to amine storage tank. Another
156
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
part of lean amine from lean amine cooler is used as slip stream to cartridge filter to remove
solid particles picked up amine in the system. It is also used to remove foam causing
hydrocarbon substances and thereafter routed to amine storage tank.
In amine regeneration column, reflux water enters the column top and descends down.
This prevents amine losses into the overhead and ensures complete removal of H2S.
The reboiler vapors from the bottom of the tower counter currently contacts the rich amine
and strips off H2S. The overhead vapors from regenerator are routed to regenerator overhead
condenser, where most of the water vapors condense and are pumped by amine regenerator
reflux pumps as reflux to the column. The acid gases are routed to the SRU. In case the
pressure goes high, acid gases are released to the acid flare. Reboiler heat by LP steam is
supplied to the column through amine regenerator reboiler
2.7.2.13
Sulphur Recovery Unit
Acid gas from ARU passes through acid gas knock out drum, to remove any liquid carryover,
before feeding to main burner. Similarly, any liquid carryover in sour gas from SWSU is
removed in sour gas knock out drum.
The air to main burner is supplied by an air blower, which also supplies air to Super Claus
stage and sulfur degassing. The air to the main burner is exactly sufficient to accomplish the
complete oxidation of all hydrocarbons and ammonia present in the feed gas and to burn as
much H2S as required to obtain desired concentration. The heat generated in the main burner
is removed in the waste heat boiler by generating steam.
Then the process gas is introduced into the first condenser in which it is cooled, sulphur
vapor condensed and is separated from gas. Upstream of 1st Claus reactor, the process stream
from waste heat boiler is heated in 1st steam reheater to obtain optimum temperature for the
catalytic conversion. The effluent gases from 1st reactor passes onto 2nd sulfur condenser
where sulphur vapor is condensed and uncondensed process gases pass to the 2nd steam
reheater. Heated vapors are again subjected to conversion in the 2nd Claus reactor followed
by cooling in the 3rd sulfur condenser. Then the process gas passes to the 3rd steam reheater
and the 3rd Claus reactor. Following reactions takes place inside the Claus reactor.
H2S + 3/2 O2 SO2 + H2O + Heat
2H2S + SO2 2H2O+ 3/n Sn + Heat
2NH3 + 3/2 O2 3H2O + N2
The sulfur formed remains in vapor phase and goes in polymeric reaction, which forms
polymericsulfur in vapor phase. The predominate reactions are:
157
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
3S2 S6 + Heat
4S2 S8 + Heat
Some of these combustion reactions also take place in the burner section of the reaction
furnace. The lists of reactions taken place in the reaction furnace are given below:
CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2 H2O
CO2 + H2S COS + H2O
COS + H2S CS2 + H2O
2H2S 2H2 + S2
COS + H2O H2S + CO2
The unconverted H2S from the clause reactor is sent to the TGTU unit. Sulfur condensed in
condensers is routed via sulfur locks to sulfur cooler and drained into sulfur degasification
vessel. Stripping air is supplied to the spargers located at the bottom side of the vessel. This
strips off H2S from liquid sulfur and oxidizes the major part of H2S to sulfur. Air leaving the
stripping columns, together with H2S released from sulfur degasification vessel, and is routed
to TGT Unit. Liquid Sulphur from pit is pumped by sulphur pumps to Sulphur Yard.
2.7.2.14
Tail Gas Treating Unit
The Tail Gas Treating Section is required for the removal of sulphur compounds (H2S, SO2,
COS, CS2, elemental sulphur) from the tail gas from the Claus Section. This is achieved by
catalytic reduction of sulphur compounds to hydrogen sulfide and the subsequent absorption
of hydrogen sulfide in a regenerable absorption medium (Amine).
Rich amine is subsequently treated in Amine Regeneration Section in order to release the
absorbed hydrogen sulfide which is recycled back to the Claus section for further recovery of
elemental sulphur. The H2S recycled allows an overall sulphur recovery efficiency of 99.9%
to be achieved.
Tail gas enters the hydrogenation reactor preheated at 130°C. H2 reducing gas is mixed with
Claus tail gas in the preheat effluent stream via a controller which is reset by the SO2
concentration in the downstream of the hydrogen reactor. The effluent is preheated under
temperature controller by an electrical heater. A pre-sulfiding line is provided to activate the
TGU catalyst using acid gas from the acid gas KOD. Thus line is not used for normal
operation.
The hot preheated effluent passes through the catalyst bed of the hydrogenation reactor where
SO2 and other sulfur compounds are converted to H2S. Due to exothermic reaction, the gas
temperature increases. The reactor inlet temperature should be held reasonably steady to
158
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
provide stable conditions in the reactor. To avoid excessive outlet temperature, the inlet gas
may be controlled at somewhat lower temperature to compensate for more SO2 and/or S in
the tail gas feed. However, excessively low reactor inlet temperature will result in poor
conversion. The SO2 monitor at the reactor effluent is observed to maintain an excess of ~3%
H2. In addition, if the circulating water in the quench loop shows the presence of finally
divided sulfur this indicates incomplete reaction and the SO2 has reached the column to form
sulfur via the Claus reaction:
2H2S + SO2 3S + 2H2O
This behavior should be monitored as the presence of the sulfur not only means the reaction
is incomplete but the column can be plugged. Monitoring the pH of the quench water
provides a pre-warning to an impending problem. The pH should be maintained near 7.0.
Hot reactor exit gas must be cooled before entering the absorber. A first stage gas cooling is
accomplished by generating steam at the TGU waste Heat Boiler, decreasing the process gas
temperature. BFW is fed to the shell side of the TGU-WHB on level control and low pressure
steam is generated. When the steam flow and/or BFW flow rate changes, the water level in
the steam generator varies. Rising level in the generator indicates that the BFW flow rate is
exceeding the rate of steam generation. In this case, signal to the level control valve will
decrease. If the steam generation exceeds the BFW rate, level will decrease. In this case,
signal to the level control will increase. The process gas enters the quench column. The
quench water recirculating loop consists of the quench water pump, filter and water cooler.
The cooler removes the heat from the column, cooling the inlet gas. The water flow to the top
of the column is controlled after being filtered by quench water filter. Decreasing the water
flow rate will increase the bottom temperature. Increasing the water rate will increase the
load in the quench water circulation pumps and flow through the quench water cooler and
column. The quench column recirculation system has the provision to adjust the pH by
addition of caustic to the column recirculation line. The pH of the quench water to the water
pump is monitored and kept at a value between 7 and 9 in an effort to prevent corrosion and
inhibit colloidal sulfur formation. The water system should be visually inspected for
cloudiness. Low pH will indicate incomplete reduction of sulfur compounds. Sour water
condensed from the inlet feed is removed from the quench water loop via a zevel controller
from the quench column and is sent offsite to sour water storage. The rate depends on the
water in the Claus tail gas, water produced in the hydrogenation reactor and the amount of
water overhead in the quench column.
159
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
Downstream of these reactors, additional recovery of reduced sulfur is accomplished in an
amine absorber column that uses an aqueous methyl di-ethanolamine (MDEA) solvent to
scrub H2S from the TGTU tail gas. The overhead stream from this contactor, containing very
low sulfur levels, is sent to the tail gas thermal oxidizer for disposal. The rich MDEA solvent
is regenerated in the TGTU amine stripper and H2S is returned to the inlet of the Claus SRU
trains to be recovered. Regenerated MDEA solvent is recirculated back to the TGTU amine
absorber column.
Tail gas from TGU is routed to the incinerator where residual sulfur is converted to SO2 and
discharged into the atmosphere.
The overhead line from the quench column flows to the absorber. The absorber is a packed
column and is designed to absorb practically all the H2S in the recirculating Amine solvent.

The purpose of the incinerator system is to oxidize all the sulfur compounds in the tail gas to
SO2 and to vent the oxidized stream at high temperature and at a high elevation.
The incinerator system included the two primary sections:
In the incinerator burner, fuel gas is burnt with excess air to a temperature over 1650 oC. The
temperature is sufficient to heat the tail gas from TGU to ~768oC. This temperature is
sufficient to oxidize the residual H2S and sulfur compound, while minimize NOx and SO3
formation.
The effluent is discharged to the incinerator stack. The stack height of 60 meters is set to
ensure dispersion of SO2 and to meet ground level concentration limits.
Effluent tail gas from the TGU absorber is thermally oxidized with air to convert reaming
sulfur compounds to SO2. Fuel gas and excess air are combusted at high temperature at the
incinerator burner. Then it is mixed with the absorber overhead effluent tail gas in the
primary oxidation chamber. The fuel gas and air rates are adjusted to control the temperature
of the mixed and oxidized tail gas stream. The air is supplied by a dedicated incinerator air
blower. Excess air is used to ensure sufficient oxygen is present to oxides the sulfur and other
sulfur compound. Oxidation reactions are as follows:
H2S + 3/2 O2 SO2 + H2O
160
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
2COS + 3 O2 2 CO2 + 2SO2
CO + ½ O2 CO2
CS2 + 3 O2 2SO2 + CO2
Sn + nO2 n SO2
The incinerator effluent temperature is measured and used to adjust the flow rate of fuel gas
to maintain the desired operating temperature of 768oC. The incinerator is refractory lined
with an external thermal shroud to control the shell temperature. Skin thermocouples are
provided to monitor the shell temperature. The shell temperature should be maintained
between 149 – 350oC.
The air blower is designed to provide supply of air and stack while providing a minimum of
2% excess O2 at an operating temperature of 768oC. Ambient air is drawn through the inlet
filter to remove solid debris and to protect against water during heavy rainfall. The
combustion gas from the burner and combustion chamber flow into the incinerator where
adequate residence time is provided for combustion. The incinerator stack vents the effluent
to the atmosphere. A SO2/O2 analyzer is provided to determine the SO2 and O2 in the effluent
stream.
Further P-25 configuration is capable of producing additional ~95 KTPA of ethylene and it is
proposed to recover and utilize this additional ethylene during PNCP phase-2 expansion. The
proposed block flow diagram in quantitative manner is enclosed as Annexue 27 and Figure
2-11.

2.7.3 Raw Material and Mode of Transportation
Products of the refinery are dispatched through all three means of transportation, i.e.
pipelines, road and rail. The major portion is transported by pipeline. SMPL terminal is
within the refinery battery area and in case of any emergency; all firefighting facilities and
necessary assistance are being rendered by the refinery. Dispatch of products from the
petrochemicals complex is done through both road and rail transportation.
At present crude is being received from Mundra-Panipat Pipeline (MPPL) of capacity
8.4MMTPA and Salaya Mathura Pipeline (SMPL) of Capacity 7.3 MMTPA (Chaksu to
Panipat) Further a proposal to enhance Chaksu to Panipat section of SMPL pumping capacity
from 7.3 to 19.1 MMTPA has been finalized by pipeline division. With this augmentation the
total crude pumping capacity to Panipat refinery will be 27.5MMTPA.

2.14 Water Pollution Control Measures
Several measures are proposed to be incorporated at the designs stage towards minimizing
the generation of wastewater and treatment of the generated effluent. Some of these measures
are described below

Closed blow down system will be incorporated for hydrocarbon liquid discharges in
all the process units, which will reduce the wastewater load to ETP both in terms of
quantum load and quality. This is another of the in-plant control measures.

Appropriate segregation and collection philosophy (separate sewers for process waste,
contaminated rainwater, spent caustic, cooling tower blow down, boiler blow
down,etc.) will be incorporated for various effluents depending on individual stream
characteristics.

A comprehensive wastewater management system to comply with treated effluent
quality as specified by CPCB shall be established.

Process area will be paved to avoid contamination of soil/sub-soil/ground water in
case of accidental spill/leakage of hydrocarbon liquids.
IOCL Panipat is having full-fledged effluent treatment plant system for maintaining CPCB
discharge standards. The Effluent Treatment Plant is capable of handling (800 m3/hr.) to
accommodate peak flows in during the wet season. The effluent treatment plant appropriate
steps were taken to meet the most stringent norms. The Pollutants are treated and disposed in
proper way as given in Table 2-20.

For further removal of TDS and increased recycle of wastewater RO system with Ultra filtration
has been installed. The RO plant takes ACF outlet as feed and produce low TDS RO permeate
water as Product which is used as feed to DM plant in TPS. Totally 690 KLPH of RO permeate
is produced.
The Existing and Proposed ETP and RO plants flow diagram is given in Figure 2-20 and
Characteristics of Effluent Generated is given in Table 2-22.

3.5.3 Natural Resources ofPIA District
3.5.3.1 Flora & Fauna
Flora: The natural vegetation in the study area is sparse. Various kinds of trees and shrubs are
found growing indigenously. On account of the pressure of population and extensive cultivation,
very little land has been left under natural forest cover. Strip forests along the roads and canals
and block forests of Babool (Kikar) are on the forest record. Most of the area is occupied by
agriculture fields. Wherever the forests are present, they are of open evergreen scrub or thorn
type comprising mainly of:

3.5.3.2 Forest Resources
The district is covered by Panipat forest range which comes under the Karnal Forest Division
headed by the Deputy Conservator of Forests stationed at Karnal. The district falls in North
Haryana Forests Circle with headquarters at Panchkula. As regards, proportion of forest cover,
Haryana State (1.4 percent forest cover of total area) is at bottom place among the State of the
country. Panipat district has 3.2 percent area under forests. Forests and forest produce have a
recognised place both in rural and urban economy of the district. Nurseries of different tree
species like Timber, fuel, shady, ornamental, fruit trees, etc., are raised for afforestation and
reafforestation.
The district is not rich in its forest wealth. Tropical dry deciduous forests are found here. Mostly
the vegetation consists of Khair (Acacia catecha), Kikar (Acacia nilotica), Shisham
(Dalbergiasissoo),
Nim
(Azadirachtaindica),
Tut
(Morisalba),
Sirish
(Albizialebbeck),
VilayatiImli (Inga dulcis) etc., Peepal (Ficusreligiossa) and Badh (Ficusbenghalensis) are often
seen planted near village settlements and the people look upon these trees with religious ferour.
Ber (Ziziphusmauratiana), Aam (Mangiferaindica) and Jamun (SygiumJambolanum) are the
main fruit trees.
Due to extension of cultivation, very little of nature forest is left over. Presently, forests form
3.24 percent of the total area of the district. Wherever these forests are present, are of open type,
217
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
EIA Report
dry deciduous scrub, consisting of following shrubs and trees: Dhak, Jal, Kaindu, Jand, Jhar,
Babul, Neem, Tut, etc. Shisham (Ficusreligiosa), Badh (Ficusbengalensis), etc., are the important
tree species grown in the plains. Safeda (Eucalyptus hybrid) has been introduced since 1963 in
forest areas and along the road routes. The natural vegetation is mainly of forest growth and its
degradation stages.
During the monsoon a number of herbaceous plants appear as underground in the jungles. Kikar
and Khajur are very common in swampy or marshy localities and in low-lying areas. Farash is
common in saline areas where hardly and other tree can grow. Shisham is extensively planted
along canal banks and road sides. Peepal and Badh are often planted near village settlements. To
awaken people regarding medicinal plants, Haryana Forest Dept has developed 32 Herbal
gardens/ Parks (between 2005 and 2011) in all the districts of the state and named the parks in
the name of important medicinal plants. In Panipat district such a Herbal garden is named as
BilvaVatika which is located in Patti Kalyana village.
There was a time when dense jungles of the district harboured various kinds of wild animals and
birds. But with the development of communications, clearance of jungles, increases in
irrigational facilities and extension of cultivation due to pressure of population, rich stocks have
considerably finished, some species are almost extinct. Hog deer, which was quite abundant in
swampy areas, is now available in traces. Grey and black partridges are sufficiently available.
Black buck, nilgai and chinkara are still available though not in plenty. Hare are commonly
available. Pea fowl is abundantly found in cultivated fields, in groves and orchards. Blue rock
pigeons are also commonly noticed. Common quail comes with the ripening of wheat. The
common and Jack snipe are also found in rice fields. The jheels abound in ducks and geese. The
pintail, mallard, pochard, shoveller teals, comb duck, spotbil and goose are the common species
of ducks available. The grey leg goose is to be found on the large marshes and the black barred
goose is to be seen on river side. The pelicans, cranes, herons, bitterns and many sort of waders
cover jheels; sars and kunj are conspicuous. In 1986, a Deer Park-cum-Breeding centre was
established in National Fertilizers Limited at Panipat. Nardak area, once a favourite habitat of the
lions and tigers is now completely devoid of these carnivores. Jackals can be seen which make
much damage to crops.

3.5.6 Geomorphology of PIA District
The district forms a part of Indo gangetic plain and lies in Yamuna Sub basin of main Ganga
basin. Physiographically, the district is characterised by two distinct features i.e. vast upland
plain and Yamuna flood plain. The width of the flood plain varies according to the amount of
shift experienced by the river. It is narrow in the Northern part and widens downstream. The
district is mainly drained by the river Yamuna and its tributaries. The river Yamuna is major
Perennial River which flows all along the eastern margin of the district from northern to southern
direction. The district is also drained by the artificial drain named as „Naurah Drain‟ which
originate in southern eastern part of Madlauda block and flows through south western part of
Panipat and all along eastern boundary of Israna block in southerly direction. The district has two
types of soils viz-tropical arid brown and arid brown soils (solemnized). The arid brown soils are
found in major parts of the district whereas tropical arid brown soils are found in north eastern
part of the district especially in parts of Bapoli and Panipat blocks.

3.5.7 Hydrogeology of PIA District
The district is occupied by geological formations of Quaternary age comprising of recent alluvial
deposits belonging to the vast Gangetic alluvial plains. The Central Ground Water Board has
drilled 08 exploratory boreholes in the depth range of 103 to 460 m and 35 piezometers in the
depth range of 33 to 348 m and 01 Slim Hole to delineate and determine potential aquifer zones,
evaluation of aquifer characteristics, behaviour of water levels etc.
The ground water exploration undertaken by CGWB has revealed the existence of 8 -23 granular
zones down to a maximum depth of 460 m. These zones mainly comprise of various grades of
sand and gravel. The first granular zone forms the water table aquifer and occurs down to 50 –
150 m below ground level. The second aquifer occurs between 130 and 250m depth, the third
one exists between 286 and 366 m depth. Total thickness of the alluvium is not precisely known.
However, the bedrock has not been encountered up to 460 m depth at village Dadlana (deepest
exploration borehole) in the district. The discharge range from 605 to 3258 lpm for 6 - 20 m of
draw down. The transmissivity of the aquifers lies between 350 and 1990 m2/day.

Air Environment
Baseline ambient air quality assessment gives the status in the vicinity of site and is an
indispensable part of environmental impact assessment studies. Significant changes, in
predominant winds and weather conditions are observed in winter, summer and postmonsoon seasons apart from the local topographic influences. The baseline status of air
environment in the study area is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance
programme.
3.7.1 Meteorological Conditions
The regional air quality is influenced by the meteorology of that region. The principal
weather parameters that influence the concentration of the air pollutants in the surroundings
are wind speed, wind direction and temperature. The meteorological data is useful for proper
interpretation of the baseline data. It is used as input for air quality dispersion models for
predicting the post project environmental scenario i.e. ground level concentrations due to
proposed utilities like Boilers, etc.
3.7.2 Meteorological Data Collection
Available secondary data pertaining to the meteorological parameters was obtained from the
IMD Climatological tables. In addition, baseline meteorological data was generated during
the study period March 2019 to May 2019.The methodology adopted for monitoring surface
observations is as per the standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) i.e.
IS:8829 and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
3.7.3 General Meteorological Scenario based on IMD Data
The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) station located to project site is Karnal.
The Climatological data for Karnal(2942‟ N and 77o 02‟ E), published by the IMD, based on
daily observations at 08:30 and 17:30 hour IST for a period of 1971 to 1999 is presented in
the following sections on the meteorological conditions of the region. The monthly variations
of the relevant meteorological parameters are reproduced in Table 3-6.

Noise Environment
The prevailing ambient noise level at a particular location is nothing but the resultant (total)
of all kinds of noise sources existing at various distances around that location. The ambient
noise level at a location varies continuously depending on the type of surrounding activities.
Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at Eight (08) locations
in and around 10Km distance from project area during the study period using precision noise
level meter. The noise monitoring locations in the study area were selected after giving due
consideration to the various land use categories. The land use categories include commercial,
residential, rural and sensitive areas. Noise levels were recorded on an hourly basis for one
complete day at each location using pre- calibrated noise levels. Map showing noise
monitoring locations is Figure 3-19.
3.9.1 Results and Discussions
Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the day equivalent
(Ld) and night equivalent (Ln) were calculated;

Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.

Ln: Average noise levels between 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.
The comparison of day equivalent noise levels (Ld) and night equivalent noise levels (Ln)
with the respective CPCB stipulated noise standards for various land use categories are
shown in the Table 3-11.

3.9.1.1 Observations
It is observed that the day equivalent and night equivalent noise levels at all locations are
within prescribed CPCB standards

In industrial area (Project site), day time noise level was about 69.4dB(A) and 60.5
dB(A) during night time, which is within prescribed limit byCPCB for Industrial area
(75 dB(A) Day time & 70 dB(A)Night time).

In residential area (Dharamgarh, Barauli, Razapur, New Bahauli, Madlauda, Panipat,
Munak) day time noise levels varied from 47.5dB (A) to 54.8dB (A) and night time
noise levels varied from 41.5dB (A) to 44.7dB(A) across the sampling stations. The
field observations during the study period indicate that the ambient noise levelsin
Residential area are within the limit prescribed by CPCB for Residential area (55 dB
(A) Day time & 45 dB (A) Night time)

3.10 Water Environment
3.10.1 Surface Water Resources
The district possesses a good network of canals emanating from Western Yamuna Canal
(Delhi Branch) which passes through the centre of the district in north south direction. All the
distributaries depend upon this canal for water requirement. The canal takes off from the
Yamuna river at Tajewala and a strong masonary weir is built. There is a regulator at Indri
and canal bifurcates into Sirsa Branch and Main Branch. Again Main Branch bifurcates into
Hansi Branch, Delhi Branch and Gohana distributary at Munak in Karnal district. Near
Munak after bifurcation, the Hansi Branch entering from the north western edge of the
district passes into Jind district. But the Delhi Branch of the Western Yamuna Canal after
entering the district takes a direction towards Panipat town and then goes in a southerly
direction and enters Sonipat district. Main distributaries that irrigate the Bhangar area of the
district are Gohana Distributary, Bhutana Sub-Branch, Israna Distributary, Naraina
Distributary, Bazidah Distributary, Hulana Distributary and Samalkha Distributary.
3.10.2 Surface Water Quality Assessment
Water quality monitoring and assessment can be used to determine ambient water quality, the
extent and causes of a water quality problem, or to measure the effectiveness of best
management practices being implemented in water system. Monitoring helps to determine the
trends in the quality of the aquatic environment and the impact due to the release of
contaminants, other anthropogenic activities, and/or by waste treatment operations (impact
monitoring).To establish the baseline status of water environment, the representative
sampling locations for surface water within a radial distance of 10Km from project site have
been selected as per CPCB guidelines of Water Quality Monitoring through an adequate
survey of the project area. Test methods used for the analysis of water quality parameters is
given in Table 3-12. Water sampling and map of sampling location are given in Table 3-13
and Figure 3-20.

3.10.3 Groundwater resources
The ground water development in all the blocks has exceeded the available recharge, thus all
the blocks have been categorized as over exploited. Stage of ground water development,
ranges from 127% (block-Madlauda) to 210% (block-Samalkha). Net annual replenishable
ground water availability in the district has been assessed as 308.65 MCM. The total ground
water draft for all uses in the district is 514.56 MCM, thus leaving shot-fall (over draft) of
205.91 M C M. Stage of ground water development in the Panipat district has been assessed
to be 167%.Depth to water level during Pre Monsoon & Post Monsoon for Panipat District, is
given in Figure 3-21.

3.10.3.1 Groundwater Quality
Block-wise ground water resource potential of the district has been assessed by CGWB as per
GEC-97 as on 31st March 2009. Groundwater is the principal source for domestic and
drinking purposes in almost all villages near the study area. The quality of the groundwater
received is influenced by pollution of soil and air, industrial and domestic waste disposal,
organic components, pathogenic microorganisms, application of fertilizers and pesticides in
agriculture, etc. Total Eight (08) ground water monitoring locations were identified for
assessment in different villages around the project site based on the usage of sub surface
water by the settlements/ villages in the study area. The groundwater results are compared
with the desirable and permissible water quality standards as per IS 10500 (2012) for
drinking water. Groundwater quality monitoring locations and results are given in Table 3-16
and Table 3-17. Map showing the groundwater monitoring locations are given in Figure 322.

3.12 Biological Environment
Biological environment is a good bio-indicator of changing environmental quality. The
secondary data source of 15 km radius area around the project site was considered for the
study on biodiversity. Both terrestrial and aquatic ecological analysis was carried out through
secondary data. Assessment of flora and fauna was undertaken in the study area through
literature review /desk research was carried out to determine the existing conditions within
the study area and to identify habitats and species of potential importance that may be
affected by the Project.
The following parameters were primarily considered in the study.


Collection of secondary data from literature about the flora and faunal diversity.
Identification of rare endangered plants and animal species (if any).
Flora
A total of 173 flowering plants were recorded from the secondary source belonging to 58
families.

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS &
MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 Introduction
One of the important components in the process of environmental impact assessment is
identification of significant impacts as it leads to other elements such as quantification and
evaluation of impacts. Any change in environment whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or
partially, resulting from impacting activity is called Environmental Impact. Each individual
activity with respect to each environmental parameter will have its own impact potential.
Proposed project activities will be carried out in such a way so that potential adverse/negative
impacts are avoided, wherever possible. While for remaining impacts which are inevitable,
practicable mitigation measures will be recommended to minimize the adverse impacts.
The prediction of impacts helps to develop and implement mitigation measures/environment
management plan in such a way that the developmental activity will minimize the
deterioration of environmental quality.
4.2 Proposed Project Activities
The proposed project will have impacts on environment during the tenure of two phases; i.e.
construction phase and operation phase.
4.3 Construction Phase
Construction phase of the proposed project is temporary and will mainly involve the
following generic construction activities

Excavation

Formwork & concreting

Material handling and Transportation

Use of Tools and Potable power tools

Scaffolding

Crane and Rigging Equipment


298
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
4.3.1 Impacts During Construction Phase
As the main impacts of the construction phase are envisaged in terms of air pollution only,
this natural mitigation would be significantly helpful in elimination of predicted impacts of
the phase. However, the following principal major impacts to the environment are considered
for further planning of mitigation measures:

The use of automobiles and machinery during construction can deteriorate the air
quality and generate temporary emission.

The use of automobiles and machinery generates noise pollution from construction
activities.

The irregular working hours, & traffic, night-working, flood-lighting and
transportation damage the socioeconomic balance of surrounding region.

Effects may occur due to the accumulation of the contaminant in water resources &
soil due to uptake of construction material.

Short term heavy construction might cause increase in noise level

Effects on work place condition & human health due to the accidents during the
construction works.

Effects on the socio-economic activity due to direct impacts or indirect impacts on
socio-economic activities.
4.3.2 Mitigation Measures for Construction Phase

The entire construction activities will be confined with the designated area inside the
existing premises.


utilise further in construction activities and surplus excavated material shall be
disposed of in suitable pre-identified areas.

Construction material shall be stored at adequate distance from the water storage in
order to prevent any chances of accidental leakage or spillage which could pollute the
water storage

Wherever required impervious lining shall be provided to the storage premises to
avoid accidental mixing or mixing due to fugitive losses.

To reduce the dust generation on site wherever & whenever required water shall be
sprinkled on ground or stock pile of excavated soil.
299
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

work with optimum efficiency generating less noise pollution

Operation of machineries/equipment causing high noise level shall be stopped during
the night time and all such operations shall be planned for day time only.

Transportation activities shall not be conducted during the night (other than in case of
emergency) to avoid high noise level in nearby villages/locality.
4.3.3 Land environment
a. Impacts
Since it is an expansion project, it will be implemented within the M/s IOCL, PR, premises;
there is no additional land to be acquired for the proposed project. The expansion project will
be done in land area, which is identified as appropriate location based on environmental and
engineering requirements. The activities carried out during the construction phase will
involve a change in the land use from vacant industrial land to a built up industrial land,
which will pose the following impacts on the land environment.
1. Compaction of soil and a change in the soil structure due to the use of heavy
construction vehicles and machineries.
2. Removal of soil from the site.
3. Mixing of the topsoil and subsoil.
4. Dispersion of dust.
b. Mitigation Measures
1. Employing techniques such as restricting access during wet conditions, using
protective boarding and low ground pressure machineries to minimize compaction of
soil.
2. The removed soil will be properly stored for subsequent reinstatement.

validPollution Under Control(PUC) certificates
10.Very old vehicles (more than 20 years) will not be allowed at site
11.Trucks will comply with standards for exhaust emissions and noise levels.
4.3.4 Air environment
In order to predict the impact of constructional and operational activities on the ambient air
quality, the data on emission, micrometeorology and from Indian meteorological department
(IMD)were collected. All these data will be used to predict ground level concentration of
(GLCs) of SO2, NOX and PM10 for different temporal variations.
In the construction phase, activities like site clearance, site leveling, movements of workers
and material, construction of road, transportation activities will generate dust, gaseous
pollutants and particulate matter and affect the air quality. Other impacts include 1. Site Preparation-fencing, boundary and clearing of site will cause disturbance to the
surroundings.
2. Excavation, backfilling and leveling.
3. Hauling and dumping of earth materials and construction spoils.
4. Foundation works can cause dust generation which will decrease the air quality and it
can impact the labors working.
5. Fabrication, erection of steel structures such as tanks, pipelines and sheds.
6. Construction of internal roads drains and water supply.
7. Cleaning and landscaping.

302
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
4.3.6 Noise environment
a. Impacts
During construction phase, the noise will mostly be produced because of building activities
and machineries used for carrying out construction. Construction activities mainly involve
diesel generators, laying of foundation, erection of superstructure, clearing of obstruction and
trees if any from the proposed area. Activities such as construction of labor camps, onsite
office, pneumatic hammers, compressors, concrete mixers, construction material plants
however, do not cause significant noise pollution. But if the work continuous for longer
duration, it can affect the health of local people and workers involved in the project work.
b. Mitigation Measures
1. Barricading the construction site.
2. The green belt will help in reducing the noise nuisance.
3. Selection of equipment‟s of high quality.
4. Proper planning and organizing of construction activities which will help in avoiding loud
verbal exchanges between the intervening parties.
5. Transportation activities will be carried out only during the day and only in case of
emergency, the transportation activities will be permitted in night time.
6. The vehicles used for construction activities and transportation of materials will be
provided with the horn of low noise level as recommended by RTO/ concerned
authorities.
7. Minimization
of
operation
time
of
noisy
equipment
and
operation
of
machineries/equipment that generate high levels of noise only during day time.
8. Inadequate use of plant and equipment, namely, running on full power when the work
does not necessitate it will be avoided.
9. Personal protective equipment‟s, education and public awareness and exposure control
through rotation of work will be provided to the workers engaged in construction
activities in the area generating high levels of noise.
4.3.7 Waste generation
The source of waste are metal pieces, cardboards, wooden scrap, sand gravels etc., generation
of chemical waste by general site practices (e.g. vehicle and plant maintenance/servicing),
municipal waste generated by site workers.
303
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
a. Mitigation measures
1. Recycling/reusing/recovering materials where possible and thereby neglecting or
reducing the disposal requirements.
2. Separation of construction material for reuses either to be used on onsite filling or can
be used as public fill.
3. Training the staff in waste minimizing practices.
4. Chemical waste should be stored in a locked area so as to avoid leaching of harmful
chemicals in the soil or nearby water bodies (If any).
4.3.8 Ecology
Except for the removal of weeds, the ecological status of the site will be well maintained by
conserving/ developing the greenbelt at the site.
4.3.9 Social environment
A socio-economic study was undertaken with the help of secondary sources in assessing
aspects which are dealing with social and cultural conditions, and economic status in the
study area. The study provides information such as demographic structure, population
dynamics, infrastructure resources, and the status of human health and economic attributes
like employment, per-capita income, agriculture, trade, and industrial development in the
study area. There will be temporary employment for manpower required during construction
phase available from local communities. Overall socioeconomic effect of construction phase
will be positive due to direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local population
Summary:
Due to the running refinery nearby so adequate precautions must be taken, in areas of
1. Work permit system must be followed for carrying out any job inside the Refinery,
Flare System, Effluent Treatment Plant(ETP), and New Tank Farm(NTF).Presently
permit system available are Hot Permit, Cold Permit, Height Permit, Excavation
Permit, Confined space Permit, Radiography Permit, Electrical energizing/
deenergizing Permit & Vehicle Entry Permit. The work permit system should be
followed as per OISD-105
2. Jay Walking of Construction workers in the refinery area
3. Labour camps to be totally eliminated. Even small labour camp should not be
allowed.
304
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
4. No hot work including Civil jobs like chipping, excavation etc. which produces open
flame/sparks ignition should be carried out in the plant area unless such work is
authorized by fire & safety permit issued by IOCL/ authorized representative.
5. All contractor workers must have to undergo safety briefings before they are issued
gate passes
4.4 Operation Phase
From an Environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to its
potential to invoke long term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur during this
operational phase of the project are Air pollution (gaseous Emissions), Effluent generation,
Noise Generation, Solid waste Generation etc.
4.4.1 Impacts During Operational Phase
Because of its potential to create long-term impacts, this phase is very important from the
environmental impact point of view. The basic impacts like gaseous emissions, water
consumption/ pollution and solid waste will have the potential to adversely affect air, water
and land / soil in the vicinity of the project site.
This phase will broadly include the following direct and indirect activities / actions:

Storage and transportation of raw materials and finished products.

Gaseous emissions

Effluent Generation, treatment and disposal

Noise Generation

Solid waste generation
4.5 Air Environment
Baseline data reveals that the ambient air quality has been monitored at 8 locations for 14
parameters as per NAAQS/CPCB guidelines within the study area. The maximum and
minimum baseline levels taken is PM10 (212.14 and 53.17µg/m³), PM2.5 (107.24 and
27.44µg/m³), SO2 (29.96 and 12.50µg/m³), NO2 (61.10 and 20.69µg/m³). The average of
baseline levels taken for 8 location ranges is PM10 (83.59 to 128 µg/m³), PM2.5 (42.77 to
64.98µg/m³), SO2 (14.92 to 22.83µg/m³), NO2 (27.89 to 43.71µg/m³) and CO (610 –
780µg/m³).
The nearest HSPCB AAQ monitoring station is Sector-18, Panipat in which the maximum
and minimum levels for the period March to May 2019 is PM10 (487.59 and 29.52µg/m³),
305
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
PM2.5 (131.87 and 15.96 µg/m³), SO2 (148.33 and 5.82 µg/m³), NOx (120.5 and 11.87 ppb)
and CO (77.44 and 0.14 mg/m³). The average values of same station for the above period is
PM10 (169.49µg/m³), PM2.5 (47.27µg/m³), SO2 (30.56 µg/m³), NO2 (48.86ppb) and CO (11.13
mg/m³).

Some of the parameters are exceeding the National Ambient Air Quality Standards the study
period from March to May 2019 . Stack emission of PM, SOx & NOx are due to process units.
Adequate measures will be taken to control Air Pollution.
4.5.1 Meteorological data
The meteorological data for a month, i.e. from March to May 2019 was considered for the
study. Data included for AERMET were daily wind speed, wind direction, temperature,
relative humidity, air pressure, precipitation, and solar radiation recorded during the period.
AERMET reformats meteorological data so that it can be used as input for AERMOD model.
The wind rose for the study period is given as Figure 4-1

HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
Figure 4-1 Wind rose diagram of Meteorological data considered for Modelling (March
to May 2019)
4.5.2 AERMET Process
For the 3 phase AERMET processing of the meteorological data, specifications of the land
use in the area are required to determine the terrain roughness for modelling. The land use
was characterized for in and around the site. The surface characteristics for the site and
surroundings were selected and used to calculate the Albedo, Bowen ratio and surface
roughness parameters.
4.5.3 AERMOD Process
AERMOD Software Version 8.0.5 was used for air dispersion modelling and is applicable to
a wide range of buoyant or neutrally buoyant emissions up to a range of 50. In addition to
more straight forward cases, AERMOD is also suitable for complex terrain and urban
dispersion scenarios.
AERMOD is a steady-state plume model. In the stable boundary layer (SBL), it assumes the
concentration distribution to be Gaussian in both the vertical and horizontal. In the convective
307
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
boundary layer (CBL), the horizontal distribution is also assumed to be Gaussian, but the
vertical distribution is described with a bi-Gaussian probability density function (pdf). This
behavior of the concentration distributions in the CBL was demonstrated by Willis and
Deardorff (1981) and Briggs (1993). Additionally, in the CBL, AERMOD treats “plume
lofting,” whereby a portion of plume mass, released from a buoyant source, rises to and
remains near the top of the boundary layer before becoming mixed into the CBL. AERMOD
also tracks any plume mass that penetrates into the elevated stable layer, and then allows it to
re-enter the boundary layer when and if appropriate. For sources in both the CBL and the
SBL AERMOD treats the enhancement of lateral dispersion resulting from plume meander.
The emissions from proposed stacks are estimated and used for the air dispersion modeling as
shown in Table 4-1. Maximum incremental values for PM, SO2, NOx and CO have been
represented as pictorial concentration contours and as tabular concentration values in
following section

4.6 Noise Environment
a. Impact
The noise generated during the operational phase can be divided into two categories
A) Stationary source due to heavy duty machineries at the project site such as compressors,
DG sets, pumps etc.
B) Mobile source corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization, materials,
material transportation, liquid fuel transportation to project site, etc.
Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with the proposed
project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations beyond the site would be
negligible during normal operation phase. However, the impacts on workers engaged in the
plant area would be considerable due to occupational exposure. The proposed fixed major
equipment/units such as compressors, pumps, DG sets etc., also generate vibrations during
operational phase and may cause exposures to the workers/operators engaged at these units.
325
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
All equipment‟s in the plant produce 40 to 55 dB(A) after control measures and equipment‟s
are designed/operated to have a noise level not exceeding 85 to 90 dB(A) as per the
requirement of Occupational Health and Safety Administration Standard (OHSAS). In
addition, since most of the noise generating equipment would be in closed structures, the
noise transmitted outside would be still lower and for any other case of higher noise sufficient
safety ear plugs and ear muffs will be provided to the employees.
b. Mitigation Measure

The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, pumps etc. will be
enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for an insertion loss of 25 dB (A) and
silencers to other equipment etc.

Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring
cumulative noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).

The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly time
weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standard limits.

Adequate PPE will be provided to the staff exposing to noise risks.

Acoustic silencers will be provided in equipment wherever necessary.

Acoustic design with sound proof glass paneling will be provided for critical operator
cabins / control rooms of individual modules as well as central control facilities.

Use of personal protective equipment‟s/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs etc. will
be strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.

Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental works will be
carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts will be lubricated to
minimize noise emissions.

Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub
plantation; landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle parking areas
and along approach roads.

Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational phase
of the project.

Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet international
standards and foundations will be so designed to minimize vibrations and secured
properly.
326
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

Vibration generating sources and their platforms should be maintained properly to
minimize vibrations and related impacts.

Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies like
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS),
which is being practiced would be continued to mitigate the workers‟ health effects
due to vibrations.

Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.

Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of
construction materials will be planned in line with the same.
4.7 Water Environment
No water will be extracted from ground water sources. The source of water will be from
Western Yamuna Canal. The total raw water requirement for existing facility is 3545 m3/hr
and for proposed operation phase total requirement will be 3241 m3/hr. On total after
expansion 6786m3/hr of water of which the fresh water of 4120 m3/hr will be taken from
existing water source (Western Yamuna Canal). Hence there will be no separate permission is
required for the proposed projects.
Existing effluent is being treated in existing ETP-1 of capacity 400m3/hr, Combined ETP-2 of

treated effluent test report from NABL & MoEF accredited lab- M/s. Nitya Laboratories is
attached as Annexure 28.
4.7.2 Mitigation measures on Ground Water
Though the proposed development will not draw Groundwater, the following measures
proposed as a part of development to improve the ground water scenario and also to ensure
that ground water is not contaminated.
Strategic plans such as implementing the following structures for rain water harvesting and
groundwater recharging purposes in project site will be adhered.

Recharge pits

Only roof-top rain water harvesting

Monitoring of water quality and groundwater level variations in the project site.
Due to discharge in Thirana drain, there is higher values of BOD, COD and SAR (NEERI
Report 2020) and therefore secondary effects are possible in nearby villages water resources.
4.7.3 Impacts Due to Wastewater Generation
The source of wastewater generation from the project is as follows:

Industrial wastewater/effluent

Cooling water blow down

Domestic Sewage

Equipment cleaning and floor washings, etc.
331
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
The untreated wastewater if discharged into nearby surface water may affect the surface
water and/or if disposed off on land without treatment may pollute the ground and surface
water.
4.7.4 Mitigation Measures to Wastewater Generation
Various mitigation measures are proposed to be adopted to minimize the impact if any on the
water environment due to the wastewater/runoff generation during the operation phase of the
project.

Institutional arrangement for monitoring of water pollution.

Corrective and preventive measures if any contamination happens.

Monitoring should ensure early determination of any threats to water resources in
terms of contamination.

If contaminated, proper expertise will be brought to schematize the various recharge
mechanism to reduce or nullify the impact effects.
4.8 Effluent Water Quality, Quantity and Treatment Method
a. Existing
Approx. 1030 m3/hr of effluent and 235 m3/hr of sewage is generated in the existing facility
which is reused back in RO plant and Cooling tower. The quantity of 775 m3/hr is treated in
ETP-1 and 2 and being completely reused in RO plant and Cooling tower. Remaining
255m3/hr is treated in the PTA-ETP and Treated effluent from PTA ETP is discharged in
Thirana drain (vide permission- No.HSPCB/Consent/:313105620PITCTO7559304 dated 0405-2020). The 235 m3/hr of sewage is generated in which 125 m3/hr is sent to horticulture
and balance is sent to ETP for treatment.
b. Proposed
Due to the proposed expansion Approx. 362 m3/hr of effluent and 9 m3/hr of sewage are
generated in the existing facility. The Effluent of 360m3/hr is reused back for process steam
generation, 2m3/hr of sludge is generated which will be disposed off in scientific manner and
sewage of 9 m3/hr is reused back for Green Belt. Rejects of 48 m3/hr effluents from RO/DM
is directed to MEE and to ATFD, finally remaining 4 m3/hr of effluent as salt from ATFD is
discharged to Disposal Facilities.
Zero liquid discharge is practiced for existing and proposed effluent generated. Hence, the
impacts of effluent discharge on water bodies are avoided.
332
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
Panipat Refinery has developed a Modernised effluent treatment plant (ETP) for treatment of
process wastewater, generated from various units of the refinery as well as Township.

for generating DM quality Water.
The new ETP shall consist of treatment facilities/chains/systems along with associated
facilities for treatment of effluent streams: The capacity of ETP shall be 450 m3/hr.
4.8.1 Process Description
The principal contaminants present in these effluent streams are mainly oil (free and
emulsified), suspended solids, phenols, sulphides, ammonia and organic matter contributing
to BOD &COD. The OWS feed effluent received by pumping at the Effluent Treatment Plant
battery limit shall be stored and equalized in OWS Tank and then treated in API oil
separators for Free oil removal. The Stripped Sour Water shall be stored in Stripped Sour
Water Tanks and then mixed with OWS Stream at the inlet of TPI and treated in TPI oil
separators for free oil & Suspended solids removal. The effluent after free oil removal in API
and Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI) separator shall be fed to of Dissolved Air Floatation unit
for removal of emulsified oil.
333
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
The effluents after oil removal shall be stored in Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) Feed Tank.
The effluent from SBR feed tank is routed to Walnut shell filter for further Oil & TSS
removal and then biologically treated in 3 basin SBR system.
The treated water from SBR unit shall be processed in the polishing section consisting of
High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier (HRSCC), Dual Media Filters (DMF) and Activated
Carbon Filters (ACFs). The l treated effluent from ACF shall meet MINAS standards and
further routed to RODM recycle plant for DM production. No Effluent is disposed outside the
refinery.
The contaminated rain water stream shall be treated in a CRWS treatment chain of consisting
of TPI oil separator for oil removal, DMF and ACF for final polishing before disposal/routing
to storm water drain/horticulture/RO-DMP feed.
Spent Caustic received in the ETP from the process units shall be equalised in the holdup
tanks and then processed at a control rate. The spent caustic effluent shall be treated at
controlled rate in a chemical oxidation section with H2O2 / Ozone in presence of FeSO4 as
catalyst for removal of contaminants such as Sulphides, Phenols, COD, BOD, etc. The treated
caustic shall be sent to the ZLD Plant with a provision of final treatment with the OWS
effluent in the ETP.

4.9 Land Environment
4.9.1 Potential Impact Due to Location
The proposed expansion from existing 15MMTPA to 25MMTPA is proposed within the
IOCL existing facility, there will be no additional land acquisition and resettlement or
Rehabilitation required. Therefore, there will not be any direct impacts.
4.9.2 Impacts Due to Changes in Land Use Pattern
One of the factor that is usually considered as a major impact from any project is the land use
change. But since the proposed expansion will be established within the existing IOCL site,
no land use change is foreseen, as the current land use is that of industrial.
4.9.3 Mitigation Measures
The following mitigation measures may be explored:

Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines

Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken parts
of the conveyance pipeline in case of any leakage is detected.

Necessary preventive measures for spillage from pipelines, such as surface RCC
channels along the pipelines shall be adopted.

Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using internal
use.

374
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
10.5.4 Solid Waste

Main solid waste generation during construction phase will be construction debris like
rubble, brick bats, debris, steel scrap, wooden scrap, sand, gravel etc. However, these
materials are inert in nature and will not result into leaching of any substance or its
constituent.

These materials will be carefully sorted and will be used within premises for filling of
low lying areas.

Wooden scrap, steel scrap will be given to authorized scrap dealers.

On completion of civil work, all debris etc. will be completely removed from site to
avoid any incompatibility with future use.

All the wastes will be stored at a designated site within the premises to prevent
scattered discharge on land.
10.5.5 Land Environment

Top soil layers shall be stored for reclamation and re-vegetation and reforestation at
approved locations.

Existing storm water drainage facility will be used for disposal of storm water.


The loading of finished products to trucks and drums is done through automated
filling systems with overflow protections.

All key raw materials are charged to the reactors through closed pipeline systems
including pneumatic systems for solid handling.

Raw materials/ intermediates/ products are stored in closed tanks/drums provided with
breather arrangements to avoid fugitive emissions.
10.5.7 Ecology
Project site is an existing unit so there will be no clearance of land envisaged for proposed
projects and adequate measures will be taken to maintain the existing 539 Acres and Total
625 Acres green belt is developed outside and periphery of Panipat Refinery Complex. For
375
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
compliance of EC condition green belt area augmentation, if any will be done through avenue
plantation.
10.5.8 Socio Economic
There will be temporary employment for manpower required during construction phase
available from local communities. Overall socioeconomic effect of construction phase will be
positive due to direct and indirect employment opportunity for the local population.
10.6
Environmental Management Plan for Operation Phase
Monitoring during the operation phase shall reflect those environmental and socio-economic
issues that may persist upon completion of construction activities. Monitoring shall focus on
evaluating the effectiveness of project mitigation measures and continue baseline monitoring
and sampling. The mitigation measures to prevent adverse impact during the operation phase
of the project shall focus on the following:

Air quality

Noise environment

Solid and hazardous waste

Land environment
10.6.1 Air Quality Management
The gaseous emissions from the proposed project will be controlled to meet all the relevant
standards stipulated by the regulatory authorities. Standards applicable to this project are
classified into three categories:

Ambient Air Standards

Emission Standards

VOC control, Emission and Monitoring
Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during the operation phase of
the project on the surrounding air environment.
10.6.1.1
Ambient Air Standards
The ambient air quality around the premises will be limited to those limits as per National
Ambient Air Quality Standards, National Ambient Air Quality Standards (Gazette No.
217 dated 18 November 2009)
376
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
10.6.1.2
Emission Standards
The emission from the new facilities envisaged in this configuration study will be conforming
to the standards stipulated by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF&CC) vide their
notification GSR 186€ dated 18th March 2008.
*As per MoEF&CC notification dated March 18, 2008 vide circular no G.S.R 186(E) for Oil
Refinery Industry.
1. The refinery complex is designed to meet all statutory requirements. Some of the
major features of these environmental measures are as follows:
2. In case of mixed fuel (gas and liquid) use, the limit shall be computed based on heat
supplied by gas and liquid fuels.
3. All the furnaces/ boilers with heat input of 10 MMKcal/hr. or more shall have
continuous systems for monitoring of SO2, NOx, CO and PM. OCEMS connectivity
to CPCB and SPCB will be ensured. Manual monitoring for all the emission
parameters in such furnaces/ boilers shall be carried out once in two months.
4. All the emission parameters in furnaces/ boilers having heat input less than 10 MM
KCal/hr. will be monitored once in a quarter.
5. In case of continuous monitoring, one hourly average concentration values shall be
met 98% of the time in a month. Any concentration value obtained through manual
monitoring, if exceeds the limiting concentration value, shall be considered as
noncompliance.
6. Data on Ni + V content in the liquid fuel (in ppm) shall be reported. Ni + V content in
the liquid fuel shall be monitored once in six months, if liquid fuel source & quality
are not changed. Incase of changes, measurement is necessary after a change.
In addition to the above, the particulate matter in emissions from stacks should not exceed the
maximum permissible limit is 10 mg/Nm3 for gaseous fuel and 100 mg/Nm3 for liquid fuel.
The refinery complex is designed to meet all the statutory requirements. Some of the major
features of these environmental measures are as follows:

Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose.

Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the
emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).

Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases
of volatile hydrocarbon streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an
emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released, they will be directed to an
elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming
377
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the
atmosphere.

The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on
the operating personnel in the refinery. To ensure complete combustion of released
hydrocarbons through flares, a pilot burner shall always be burning with the aid of
fuel gas. Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision
at the flare tip is also envisaged.

The heights of various stacks will be determined taking into consideration the
"Guidelines for Minimum Stack Height" as per notification by MoEF dated 19th May
1993, which fixes the minimum stack height based on emission of Sulphur Dioxide.
This is as given below:
H=14(Q) 0.3
Where
H = Stack Height in m,
Q = Sulphur Dioxide emission in kg/hr.
If, the Pollution Control Board specifies any minimum stack height, the higher of the
two will be selected.

The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the
refinery complex will meet all the applicable standards/stipulations.
10.6.1.3
VOC Control, Emission and Monitoring
Fugitive emissions are primarily due to intermittent/continuous leakage or evaporation of
Volatile Organic carbons (VOCs) from processing/storage area of the refinery. The major
sources of such fugitive emissions of VOCs in the refinery are the main processing area, the
storage tank farm area for crude oil & products and the loading/unloading gantry area. These
fugitive emissions originate from the compressor joints and seals used in flanges, pumps,
valve packings and connection joints to the atmosphere like sampling, relief valves, etc. In
order to minimize the fugitive emissions, the following measures will be taken during
engineering:

Minimum number of flanges, valves, etc.

High grade gasket material for packing.

Usage of state-of-the-art low leakage valves preferably with bellow seals.

Usage of pumps with Double Mechanical seals for light hydrocarbon services.

Provisions of floating roof storage tanks.
378
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

Provisions of double seal in some of storage tanks.

Provision of covering the oil-water separation units in ETP.

Provision of seals in the drains and manholes.
IOCL Panipat Refinery has VOC Monitoring system in Existing Refinery and VOC facility
in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant will be installed in Proposed expansion.
10.6.2 Noise Monitoring
Impacts of noise on workers are minimized through adoption of adequate protective
measures in the form of
a) Use of personal protective equipment (earplugs, earmuffs, noise helmets etc.),
b) Education and public awareness, and
c) Exposure control through the rotation of work assignments in the intense noise
areas.
10.6.3 Water and waste water management
Oil Spill Management
Hay filters are installed along both the open channels running through Panipat Refinery to
prevent spilled oil from escaping out of the Refinery premises with the open channel water.
Also oil traps have been installed at strategic locations to arrest oil spillage.
Rainwater Harvesting
There are 21nos. of rainwater harvesting pits available within the IOCL Panipat Refinery
township and 8nos of rainwater harvesting pit available in refinery complex. Additionally 34
nos of rainwater harvesting pits completed in IOCL Panipat refinery complex. The total
catchement area on roof top is 78087 m2.

10.6.4 Land Environment
During the design stage itself due care will be taken to select the process technologies
generating minimum solid wastes so that their handling, treatment and disposal do not cause
any serious impact on the existing land environment. Also, efforts will be made to recycle
some of the spent catalysts by way of returning to the original supplier for reprocessing.
The solid wastes management plan proposed is briefly described below. The provisions of
Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2008, amended up to 2009, will be
complied with. There are primarily four types of solid wastes generated in a refinery:
1. Spent Catalyst /Chemicals
2. ETP Sludge‟s
3. General Solid Wastes
4. Tank Bottoms Sludge
10.6.4.1
Spent Catalyst/Chemicals
Patented catalysts are used in various refinery process units. Some of the spent catalyst will
be sent back to the original supplier for reprocessing. The other catalysts are normally sent to
a secured landfill. The chemicals used in various process units will be procured, stored inside
the closed vessel inside the refinery and used as per the rules of “Manufacture Storage and
import of hazardous chemicals Rules 1989, amended 2000”.
10.6.4.2
ETP Sludge
The oily & chemical sludge separated in different units of ETP shall be dewatered, handled
and disposed so as to produce zero effluent discharge. The bio sludge from bio-treatment
section will be separately dewatered and utilized inside the refinery as manure
10.6.4.3
General Solid Wastes
Small quantities of non-hazardous, non-recyclable solid waste consisting of waste refractory,
spent insulation, decoking solid waste used filter cartridges, spent charcoal, spent clay and
sand will be generated will be sent to nearby authorized landfill agency for further disposal.
10.6.4.4
Tank Bottom Sludge
This sludge is generated periodically during the tank cleaning operations approx 1000 T/ tank
at the periodicity of 5 years. Tank bottom sludge shall be handled and disposed as per
existing practice.

HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
10.7
Cumulative EMP
10.7.1 Construction Phase
The overall impact of the pollution on the environment during construction phase is localised
in nature, reversible and is for a short period.
Air
The suspended particulate pollution generated during transportation will be mitigated by
covering the vehicles so as to ensure no spillage. Hosing down the wheels of the vehicles
with water and providing washing troughs for them would further mitigate the amount of dust
generated. In addition, emission of other pollutants from construction machinery using diesel
driven prime movers, will be controlled by proper maintenance.
Noise
Noise emissions from construction equipment will be kept to a minimum by regular
maintenance. Heavy and noisy construction work will be avoided during night time.
Water
The existing drinking and sanitation facilities at the refinery will be extended to the
construction workforce. This is necessary to reduce pollution of any receiving water body and
also to prevent hazards due to water borne vectors. Potable water shall be provided to the
workers.
Socio Economic
Being the proposed project, small in terms of construction, there will be no permanent impact
on the existing socio-economic system around the refinery.
10.7.2 Operation and Maintenance Phase
It is envisaged that with strict adherence to the pollution prevention and control measures
during the design stage, the environmental impacts could be moderated to the minimum
possible level during the operation phase.
Air

In-plant Control Measures
Some of the important operational measures, which can reduce the impact on air
environment, are as follows:

Ensuring the operations of various process units as per specified operating
guidelines/operating manuals.

Strict adherence to maintenance schedule for various machinery/equipment.

Good housekeeping practices
383
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

Stack and Ambient Air Monitoring
In order to keep a check on the emissions of SO2, NOx, SPM and CO from
reactor/regenerator, boiler and furnace stacks shall be monitored as per statutory regulations.
Continuous monitors for emissions shall be installed on all major stacks. Ambient Air
Monitoring Stations shall continuously monitor quality of the air in the vicinity of the
refinery premises. Sophisticated instruments for measuring Sulfur Dioxide, NOx,
Hydrocarbon, and Carbon Monoxide shall be used in these Monitoring Stations.
Noise
As the plant is going to be operational on a 24-hour basis, noise considerations are very
important. All equipments will be specified to meet 85 dB (A) at 1 m distance. The exposure
of employees working in the noisy area shall be monitored regularly to ensure compliance
with the OSHA requirements.
A green belt of appropriate width exists around the refinery. Treated effluent from the
wastewater treatment plant will be used for irrigating this belt. This green belt will help to
reduce the noise and visual impact upon the surrounding population as much as possible.
Water

In-plant Control Measures
Some of the measures, which can be taken up during operational phase of the complex are:
o Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of improvement in
operation of processing units.
o Looking into more options of reusing the treated effluent besides fire water make
up or for horticulture development.
o Ensuring proper monitoring and maintenance schedule for the effluent treatment
plant.
o Providing reuse and recycle of the treated effluent and water.

Water Quality Monitoring
The monitoring of raw influent, the intermediate stages of Effluent Treatment Plant, the
treated effluent, the receiving water body and the ground water quality in the surrounding
areas will be carried out regularly. For regular monitoring of the operation of various
pollution control facilities, a laboratory with sophisticated instruments and well-trained
manpower shall be established. A separate Pollution Control Cell with qualified Chemical
Engineers/Scientists also form part of the facility, which will ensure that all pollution control
384
HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063
measures are effectively operating and to carry out day-to-day checks, trouble shooting and
further improvements wherever necessary
Land
To improve the environmental quality following measures are recommended.

The solid waste generated in the form of packaging material etc. shall be sold off for
making it suitable for reuse by reprocessing.

The solids wastes identified to be disposed off in the landfill shall be done as per
scientifically established procedure for land filling.

In order to improve the aesthetics in the plant surrounding, further plantation shall be
carried out the around the plant boundary.
Socio-Economic
Being the proposed project, small in terms investment, there will be no permanent impact on
the existing socio-economic system around the refinery. However, IOCL shall take part
actively in the overall development of the area.
