54 Annexure- 2.3 for M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III) Introduction Rain is the most important source of all water on the Earth. Water cycle is unique. In an endless cycle, rain rejuvenates all fresh water resources. Rainwater recharges the surface sources and slowly seeps into the ground to reach and replenish the underground aquifers. Water Harvesting is a technique of recharging ground water by collection, storage and percolation of rain/storm water into the ground water table. It is simply diverting rainwater either towards storage tank or to a recharge structure. Today, water scarcity is one of the major problems being faced by people all over the World, India and specifically in Gujarat. Increase in consumption of water and industrialization has resulted in the drastic depletion of the ground water table. This depletion could be arrested by water harvesting. This could be carried out by recharging ground water and reusing it appropriately. Rain/storm water can be harvested by different means, such as Tank Harvesting Using Wells/ Step wells for water storage. Constructing Check Dams / Canals across rivers. Using lakes or constructing ponds/reservoirs for water collection. Roof top/ Paved area harvesting through percolating wells. The harvested rainwater can not only be used to meet water requirements of the city, it also recharges groundwater aquifers. The decision whether to store or recharge water depends on the Rainwater Harvesting Scheme for M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) [ Page 1 of 4 ]

55 rainfall pattern and the potential to do so, in a particular region. The sub-surface geology also plays an important role in making this decision. Gujarat is an example of places where groundwater recharge is usually practiced. A unique borewell recharging system M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) located at Plot No.- Plot No. CH-1+2/A, GIDC, Dahej, Taluka-Vagra, District- Bharuch State- Gujarat, plans to adopt Water Harvesting technique out of social concern moral responsibility as well as regulatory requirements. Present Status Filteration Media Like Sand, Charcoal & Gravels are used Description Area (m²) Total land area : Roof area/paved area : Open land area : Green belt area : Miscellaneous Perforated Openable Lid In rooftop rainwater harvesting the rain water is collected from roof of the buildings and stored in ground water reservoir for beneficial use in nature. It could also be used for recharging the ground water. Garden/ Open area has not been considered due to fact that, storm water collection system has not been provided for the same and therefore most of the rain water falling onto the garden / open area would probably percolate in the soil there itself. Thus, V- wire screen of SS Rainfall Catchment Area : m² Intensity of Rainfall : Average Rain water dilutes Underground water zones Annual Rainfall in Region : 955 mm/year* Monsoon Period : 43 days/year * Rainfall Per Day : mm/day Total Rainfall on Plot Area : m 3 / year Smooth Surface Maintenance Free * Ref : C Climatological Tables of Observatories in India by India Meteorological Department Rainwater Harvesting Scheme for M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) [ Page 2 of 4 ]

56 Average Runoff : Average Calculation Through roof / paved area : m 3 /day [(18541)*(22.21/1000)] Total Runoff (runoff co-efficient assumed 0.8) : m 3 /day (411.8 x 0.8) Proposed Water Harvesting Scheme For recharging ground water by harvesting rain/storm water at M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) we suggest the use of percolating wells. This is due to the fact that these are easy to construct, relatively economical and require a small foot print. Design and Budgetary Cost Estimate Design Diameter of each bore in the percolating well structure : 0.30 m Depth of each bore in the percolating well structure : 30 m Vertical Assimilation Rate (Assumed) : 10 m 3 / m 2 /day Runoff Co-efficient (Assumed) : 0.8 Now, (1) Required Percolating Capacity of the Well = Total Average Runoff x Runoff Co-efficient = m 3 /day x 43 day/year = m 3 /Year (2) Total Percolating Area Required = Required Percolating Capacity/ Vertical Assimilation Rate = m 3 /day / (10 m 3 / m 2 /day) = m 2 (3) Percolating surface area of a 0.30 m Φ Bore = Π x D x L = 3.14 x 0.30 x 30 = m 2 Rainwater Harvesting Scheme for M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) [ Page 3 of 4 ]

57 There will be provision of 2 percolation wells. Thus, with 2 harvesting structures the total percolating area will be approx m 2 which is more than requirement Budgetary Cost Estimation No of harvesting structures : 2 Cost of water harvesting structures : Rs. 1,50,000/- Total : Rs. 3,00,000/- The stated cost would include the cost of boring the holes, the strainer pipe cost as well as the masonry work required to be carried out. Benefits of the suggested Rainwater Harvesting Structures Maintenance free Smooth surface so easy to clean Would reduce groundwater TDS and improve water quality Subsoil water levels would rise over a period of time. Solution to undue water logging in the absence of such percolation No use of electricity Conclusion It is viable to harvest water using percolating wells at M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III) Over and above MOL will carry also plan to out rain water harvesting in nearby areas. Rainwater Harvesting Scheme for M/s. Meghmani Organics Ltd. (Unit-III, Agro. Div.) [ Page 4 of 4 ]

It shall be connected with inlet and outlet side of the bag filter through flexible rubber tubes. Colored water should be filled to zero level mark for proper visibility of the pressure drop across bag filter. Un-interrupted supply of dry compressed air at desired pressure should be always ensured for pulsejet cleaning type bag filter. The flow rate and static pressure at the bag filter inlet should be monitored at least once a week and recorded to ensure appropriate functioning of the bag filter installed. In systems where water is also spread, it should be ensured that water does not get carried over/sucked to the bag filter. The details such as bag house specifications, layout drawing, operation and maintenance guidelines are to be maintained. A separate energy meter may be installed and the records of kwh consumption maintained on a periodic basis to ensure running of the APCD during furnace operation. Don ts Bag filter pressure drop should not be allowed to exceed approximately 200 mm WG. Higher-pressure reading indicates possible choking of the filter bags, which needs to be immediately cleared by thorough cleaning of the bags. Higher pressure drop in bag filter adversely affects in terms of reduced extraction volume sucked by the fan from the furnace and may result in fugitive emissions which should be immediately corrected. With respect to cooling tower Do s Follow manufacturer's recommended clearances around cooling towers and relocates or modify structures that interfere with the air intake or exhaust Optimize cooling tower fan blade uneven fan blade tip clearance and poor balance In old counter flow cooling towers, replace old spray type nozzles with new square spray nozzles that do not clog Replace splash bars with self-extinguishing PVC cellular film fill Install nozzles that spray in a more uniform water pattern Clean plugged cooling tower distribution nozzles regularly Balance flow to cooling tower hot water basins Covers hot water basins to minimize algae growth that contributes to fouling Optimize the blow down flow rate, taking into account the cycles of concentration (COC) limit Replaces slat type drift eliminators with low-pressure drop, self-extinguishing PVC cellular units Keep the cooling water temperature to a minimum level by (a) segregating high heat loads like furnace, air compressors, DG sets and (b) isolating cooling towers from sensitive applications like A/C plants, condensers of captive power plant etc. Note: A 1 C cooling water temperature increase may increases the A/C compressor electricity consumption by 2.7%.A 1 C drop in cooling water temperature can give a heat rate saving of5 kcal/kwh in a thermal power plant Monitor approach, effectiveness and cooling capacity to continuously optimize Page 2 of 4

90 Particulars With respect to plant operation Do s / Don ts Activity the cooling tower performance, but consider seasonal variations and side variations Monitor liquid to gas ratio and cooling water flow rates and amend these depending on the design values and seasonal variations. For example: increase water loads during summer and times when approach is high and increase air flow during monsoon times and when approach is low. Consider COC improvement measures for water savings Consider energy efficient fiber reinforced plastic blade adoption for fan energy saving Consider cooling tower fans based on exit water temperatures especially in small units Check cooling water pumps regularly to maximize their efficiency Do s Store used oil at proper place as per plant guidelines. Use lubricating oil carefully to avoid spillage on ground. Use lubricating oil as per requirement. Use minimum amount of water wherever it is required as per plant guidelines. Waste disposal system for all plants should be separate. Avoid spillage of liquid, hand gloves, cotton waste on road, which will cause pollution. Recycle or dispose that material. Use cleaning equipment carefully. (i.e. cotton waste, oil & chemicals) Place all the equipments (i.e. Fire Hose, Rubber Pipe and Chisel) at proper place. Handling of chemicals/materials should be as per plant guidelines to avoid undesired undue happening. Safety training and correct use of PPE s must for all the employees. Environment guidelines should follow during cleaning of vessels, Tank, channels etc. Follow shift in charge s instructions during loading or unloading of chemicals. In case of fire or any accident, immediately inform responsible person, In case of emergency, inform operator as well as control room. Area of work during excavation, radiography, sand blasting shall be cordoned with warning tags of "work in progress, no entry, radiography in progress' etc. Switch off lights and computers when not in use. Shut the water cock properly when not in use. Always follow safety rule during the plant operation. Do s during shut down All equipment, vessels, lines where hot work is envisaged shall be purged, flushed thoroughly and positively isolated. Similar precautions should be taken for vessel entry also. Back flow of materials from sewers, drains should be avoided by proper isolations. In case of confined space entry and other cleaning jobs etc. which are to be carried out by the process department, vessel entry permit should be issued to immediate supervising officer/operator by shift in charge. This permit should be renewed by incoming shift in charge during every shift. Hoist, Platform, cages used for lifting persons or to send persons inside vessels by such means must be of sound construction with wire ropes slings, etc. to avoid failure. All steam, condensate, hot water connections should be made tight with clamps. Nitrogen hazard should be kept in mind. All nitrogen sources should be positively isolated from vessels/confined spaces to avoid oxygen deficiency where vessel entry is required. Page 3 of 4

91 Particulars Do s / Don ts Activity All nitrogen hoses used for purging before vessel entry should be removed from source/ utility point. All underground sewers shall be flushed, protected from sparks. Full PPEs like PVC suits, gum boots, face shield & other required shall be used while draining, flushing and other reclaiming activities to avoid burn, poisoning etc. Wet asbestos cloth/metallic plate should be used to collect flying sparks. Water, steam flushing, nitrogen blanketing shall be continued where spontaneous combustion takes place. Precautions should be taken for pyrophoric nature of material. Temporary electrical connections, cords, boards and other electrical fixtures should be of sound material to prevent electrical shock. Oil spillage in the pit of oil slope tank should be cleaned with water/sand.
