Catalytic hydrogenation has evolved into a key process technology for the manufacture of specialty chemicals, replacing chemical reduction methods that generate large quantities of waste. Catalytic hydrogenations strike a balance among reaction kinetics, reactor design, catalyst activity and selectivity, process control, mass transfer and mixing. Each of these factors contributes to the performance of hydrogenation processes and their products. The complexity and diversity of catalytic hydrogenation makes it a rich platform for innovation in equipment design, process monitoring, process engineering and catalysis. For example: (i) the growing need for chiral chemical products for pharmaceutical and specialty chemical applications has promoted the development of new catalysts and hydrogenation techniques to selectively produce these compounds; (ii) a general, applicable method for retaining the properties of homogeneous catalysts in supported systems remains elusive and is driving innovation in physical and chemical fixation methods; (iii) advances in process equipment have improved the mixing and mass transfer performance of traditional reactor technology, facilitating scale-up and efficient manufacturing; (iv) novel reactor technologies that use monolithic catalysts hold the potential to EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-1

60 eliminate many of the problems associated with traditional powdered catalysts; (v) online spectroscopic and physical process monitoring instruments create new opportunities to control and characterize processes while improving productivity; and (V) operation under super critical condition eliminate the fluid phase boundaries that limit traditional hydrogenation techniques. These innovations and developments provide the industrial development team with an arsenal of new tools and ideas to create new products and improve processes. 2.3 MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES (DETAILED MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF EACH PRODUCT ALONG WITH CHEMICAL REACTIONS AND MASS BALANCE) Manufacturing activities proposed in the project include various processes.

143 3.9 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecology is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment. Producer, consumer and decomposer govern whole cycle of ecology. Plant and animal both are interdependent to each other. Producer is necessary for each consumer. Plant plays their role in ecology as producer. Plant, animals and microorganism together with the environment in which they live make an independent unit called the Ecosystem. Mainly two types of Vegetation cover are on the earth surface. One is self-growing and another is cultivated. Plants are renewable resource and useful to living organism in many ways. It is therefore the role of man in manipulating and changing vegetation population. Due to lack of awareness deforestation is occurring which in turn is responsible for imbalance of ecosystem. The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed to find out baseline status of flora and fauna of the study region. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted particularly with reference to listing of species and assessment of the existing baseline ecological (terrestrial and marine ecosystem) conditions in the study area METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR THE STUDY OF FLORA & FAUNA The importance of primary data collection in all ecological work cannot be over-emphasized as without good survey data the quality of an ecological assessment, mitigation and compensation proposals will be compromised. The data of flora & fauna were collected on visual observation during our site visit and by reviewing various literatures. Authenticity of the primary data was checked by reviewing the data collected from Forest Department, EIC and different Taxonomy books. Previous EIA reports of Valsad region were also referred during the finalization of floral and faunal data. The detail of different species of fishes collected by Department of Fisheries, Valsad (2011) is tabulated. Data Collection: Following steps were considered for the collection of secondary data and generation of primary data while carrying out ecological survey of the study area.

144 Step 1: Defining the study area The study area was larger than the development site as it included adjacent areas that might be directly or indirectly affected by the proposal. Step 2: Stratifying the site When designing a field survey, the study area was stratified (i.e. divide the area into relatively homogenous units - often referred to as 'environmental sampling units' or 'stratification units'). Stratified sampling provides a logical, objective and efficient method of undertaking surveys and ensures that the full range of potential habitats and vegetation types will be systematically sampled. Step 3: Visiting the site A preliminary site visit was conducted to refine the initial stratification units, determine the vegetation types present at the site, assess the vegetation condition and conduct a habitat assessment.

149 3.10 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT An assessment of socio - economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA study. Therefore, baseline information for the same was collected during the study period. The baseline socio - economic data collected for the study region, before the proposed expansion is in operation, has been identified for the four major indicators viz. demography, civic amenities, economy and social culture. The baseline status of the above indicators is compiled in forthcoming sections. Base line data has been collected for all the 45 villages falling within 10 km. study area from the proposed project site. Industrialization, in general, has quite an important impact on socio-economic pattern of the region. Before industrialization, Vapi was a backward area and the town was quite small with agriculture as the main source of income. The Gujarat Government established GIDC estate long time ago and gave excellent benefits to the entrepreneurs who responded by establishing their units at Vapi. Vapi being in close proximity to Mumbai and being easily accessible by road and rail became the attractive are for establishing industries in chemical, textile, paper and other sectors. The result was increased employment opportunities of primary and secondary nature. Population of Vapi started increasing and urbanization began. People from all parts of India started coming to Vapi for employment. Local population accepted these changes willingly due to increasing economic prosperity. Today, Vapi is a well developed industrial town. It has all amenities of a good city and has cosmopolitan population. All important trains stop at Vapi station. Vapi has good communication system. Industrialization, however, affects air and water quality of the region. This in turn, affects agriculture, fisheries, flora and fauna. To bring these effects on an acceptable level and EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 3-34

150 create a balance between benefits and adverse effects, Gujarat Pollution Control Board has laid down the norms for gaseous, aqueous and solid waste discharge into the environment. It is mandatory to meet these norms while discharging pollutants into the environment. Besides this prime Government body, there are other regulatory departments like Factory Inspectorate Office (FIO), which also controls social impacts by setting up standards and rules to be followed by the industry. These standards prevent accidents and disasters whereby the undesirable social impacts are controlled SETTLEMENTS AND DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERN Method of Data Preparation The 2011 census data of CoI has been attached to geo-referenced settlements. The GIS software has been used to identify the settlements at various distances from the project site and compile the demographic data as per the requirement of environmental clearance questionnaire for different distance bands from the project site.

161 Chapter 4: Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures 4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACT Various sources of pollution with respect to wastewater, the flue gas / process emission, hazardous / solid waste and noise generation along with their qualitative and quantitative analysis as well as measures taken to control them are discussed herein with details. The network method will be adopted to identify potential impact, which involves understanding of cause-condition-effect relationship between an activity and environmental parameters. 4.2 EVALUATION AND PREDICTION OF IMPACT Evaluation is an absolute term used for assessment and prediction by means of numerical expression or value. Assessment is the process of identifying and interpreting the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Prediction is a way of mapping the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Significant Action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effects on health of biota including flora, fauna and man, socio-economic conditions, landforms and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and quality of bio-physics surrounds. Prediction requires scientific skill drawn from many disciplines. Prediction of ecological components is often uncertain, because their response to environmental stress cannot be predicted in absolute terms. The assessor (one who does the assessment) and decision maker (one who take the decision after adequate analysis of assessment report) is expected to be aware of the degree of uncertainty. The assessor generally uses the following methods and resources for impact assessment. Field surveys and monitoring Guideline and modeling Literature surveys and interviews Qualification and experience EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-1

162 An impact can be defined as any change in physical, chemical and biological, cultural and or socioeconomic environment that can be attributed to activities related to alternatives under study for meeting the project needs. Impact methodology provides an organized approach for prediction and assessing these impacts. Scientific techniques and methodologies based on mathematical modeling are available for studying impacts of various project activities on environmental parameters. The nature of the impacts due to said project activities are discussed here in detail. Each parameter identified in proceeding chapters, is singularly considered for the anticipated impact due to various activities listed. The impact is quantified using numerical scores 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in increasing order of activity. In order to assess the impact accurately, each parameter is discussed in detail covering the following: 1) Project activities like to generate impact 2) Quantification and prediction of impact Operation of the project may have potential to affect quality of life, air, noise, water, land and flora, fauna and human by increase in air, noise and water pollution, by increase in hazardous waste generation, by pollution from spillage/surface run-off, by disturbance to flora and fauna, by loss of trees resulting from increased assess, by increase in land values threatening agriculture, etc. During the operation phase, the following activities are considered significant. Air emission (Minor Negative Impact) Noise generation (No Impact) Hazardous waste generation (Minor Negative Impact) Water use and waste water discharge (Minor Negative Impact) Employment Generation (Marginal Positive Impact) Socio-economic Environment (Minor Positive Impact) EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-2

163 4.2.1 WATER ENVIRONMENT With respect to water environment three aspects are generally considered in EIA, the raw water availability, consumption and wastewater generation that will be disposed. The first priority in water quality assessment is to maintain and restore the desirable level of water quality in general (Wholesomeness of water) Impact during Construction Phase The peak water requirement during construction will be met from the GIDC Water supply. Further, the wastewater generation during the construction period will be basically from construction activities and the sanitary units provided for the workers. Hence, there will not be any impact on the water environment Impact during Operation Phase Water Consumption & Waste Water Generation is given in Table 2.2 of Chapter 2. Details of ETP are discussed in Topic 2.5 of Chapter 2. Overall there won t be any significant adverse impact due to proposed activity on the water environment. Ground water and soil will not get contaminated, as M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. has already become a member of CETP, Vapi. The waste water will be treated adequately in ETP for achieving the specified inlet norms of CETP and high concentrate stream shall be shall be sent to common MEE or to four stages Evaporator. In case of MEE, Condensate from MEE shall be collected in Condensate Storage Tank (CST) and then pumped back to Aeration Tank-1 for further Treatment and then send it to CETP for further treatment. With the above, it can be said magnitude of impact will be minor impact on surface and ground water or soil quality AIR ENVIRONMENT Impact during Construction Phase During construction phase, dust emissions will be the main pollutant, which would be generated from the site development activities and vehicular movement on the road. Further, concentration of NOx and CO may also slightly increase due to increased vehicular traffic movement and it will be temporary. However, the increase in ambient concentrations EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-3

164 of air quality will be negligible. As most of the construction equipment will be mobile, the emissions are likely to be fugitive. There will some likelihood that during the construction phase local air quality may be temporarily affected by these emissions Impact during Operation Phase With respect to operation phase impact, Air emission from M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. includes both process and utility emissions. The dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is a function of several meteorological parameters viz. temperature, wind speed and direction, mixing depths, inversion level, etc. A number of models have been developed for the prediction of pollutant concentration at any point from an emitting source. The Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) dispersion model is a steadystate Gaussian plume model. It is most widely accepted for its interpretability. It gives reasonably correct values because this obeys the equation of continuity and it also takes care of diffusion, which is a random process. For the present study, this model is used for the prediction of maximum ground level concentration (GLC). The different air emissions at M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. are PM, SO 2, NOx from Boiler, TFH and D.G. Set. Process gas emissions at factory are SO 2, HCl from process vent. The site specific and monitored details considered for input data for the software ISC- AERMOD View by Lakes Environmental, Canada for prediction of impact on air environment are given in Table-4.1.

172 4.2.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS Construction activities are likely to produce noise up to some considerable extent. During the construction phase of the project, there will be noise generation from earth moving equipment and material handling traffic. The noise generation level will be confined within the surrounding area of construction site. There will be short term, localized and reversible impact on ambient noise levels during the construction activities OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS Noise levels in and around the plant site will be measured. These values represent status of Noise levels. The main sources of noise pollution in the plant will D.G. Set and other noise generating units. Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading/unloading of raw and finished materials and other transportation activity may also increase noise level LAND USE AND SOIL QUALITY CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACT Since the proposed activity will be located on existing flat terrain, no significant topographical change is expected due to construction activities. The construction of building will help in fixation of soil, thereby reducing the soil erosion. Some construction operations shall disturb the soil profile, but the impact will be insignificant. The plant will be located in a notified industrial estate. The proposed plant site is suitably located considering availability of transportation, communication, residence and manpower. The project will not involve displacement of any population. Electricity, water, roads, all basic amenities and infrastructure are available at the site OPERATION PHASE IMPACT The hazardous wastes generated from proposed plant like ETP Sludge, Discarded Containers/Barrels/Liners used for handling of hazardous wastes/chemicals, Iron Sludge, MEE Salt, Inorganic Salt, spent solvent and Used Oil, Distillation Residue, Process waste in proposed scenario. These Hazardous wastes are stored in scientifically designed and constructed hazardous waste storage area within the premises with leachate collection EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-12

173 system and send for disposal to secured land fill site at Vapi. Hence, there will be marginal impact on the soil environment HOUSING Any permanent demand on existing housing facilities is not considered as permanent impact. No township is constructed. Enough numbers of dwellings are available in nearby villages and towns for accommodating extra workforce. On town or neighboring villages, the impact on this account is minimal INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. is identically located in Notified Area. Water requirement for is fulfilled by GIDC. Proposed requirement will also be met through GIDC. The power requirement of M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. will be met through DGVCL. The transportation of raw materials, fuel and finished products will be by road. As stated earlier, the site is near to National Highway NH 8 and State Highway -SH. Finished products can also be transported by railway facilities. M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. is a member of M/s. VCEL, Vapi and CETP, Vapi facility for disposing off its Hazardous wastes. Due to project there are minimal additional impacts on services such as road transport, communication facilities, etc. However, looking at the overall volume of transportation and communication in this area, the impact is marginal. M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. contributes for development of neighboring areas in terms of residential and commercial use. The infrastructure services e.g. roads, state transport, post and telegraph, communication, education and medical facilities, housing, etc. will be improved in the surrounding areas. The project would have beneficial impact on infrastructure & services ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Raw materials such as different chemicals, solvents, etc. will be transported by road and stored in the plant premises. The company will maintain systems for better performance in EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-13

174 Quality, Environment, Occupational Health and safety. Hence, marginal impacts on this account are anticipated. The company is committed to adopt and implement all national and state legislation pertaining to workers safety, occupational health and in-plant and surrounding environment. M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. is committed for continuous improvement and sustainable development. Hence, company is able to take care of any environmental hazards within the plant premises ECOLOGY The impact due to proposed expansion of project on the ecological parameters like natural vegetation, cropping pattern, fisheries and aquatic life, forests and species diversity is as summarized below: NATURAL VEGETATION Since, there is provision for space for the proposed unit and there will not be any cutting of the plantation at the site. The adequate green belt will be developed by the industry, which will lead to beneficial impact. During construction phase, due to generation of fugitive dust emission there will be slight impact on natural vegetation of the surrounding area. There shall be emission within limit as per the EMP provisions. Therefore, the adverse impact over any of the ecological components of the environment will be negligible CROPS Since, the project is proposed on the plot of the exiting GIDC Industrial premises; it is not likely to alter the crop production and pattern of the area, either during the construction phase or the operation phase. Further, the necessary environmental protection measures would be planned under EMP e.g. air pollution control systems designed to take care of even emergency releases of the gaseous pollutants like PM, SO 2, NOx, HCl and regular environmental surveillance, etc; so as not to have any short-term or cumulative effect on the crops and the natural vegetation of the area. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-14

175 FOREST AND SPECIES DIVERSITY The details of flora / fauna species and the wildlife habitat in the area covering 10 km radius have been collected to determine the existence of rare and / or endangered species. There is no reserved forest, national park or sanctuary within 10 km radius of the plant. There was no acquisition of forest land or parks for the plant FISHERIES AND AQUATIC LIFE No commercial fishery activities are observed within 10 Km radius of the premises, and hence, due to proposed project activities no any adverse effect on fisheries and aquatic life could be envisaged AESTHETIC ENVIRONMENT The project will be developed on industrial land with good landscape and plantation. Increase in fugitive emission due to very limited construction activities and increase in the vehicular movement due to the proposed project may have minimal adverse impact on the visual quality. However, this impact can be minimized with implementation of environment management plan. Since, there will be no discharge of effluent to any water body; there is no adverse impact in the visual water quality. Thus, adverse impacts are minimized with various EMP measures taken by the industry on the aesthetic environment DEMOGRAPHY, ECONOMICS, SOCIOLOGY AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT There are beneficial effects due to improved communication and that resulted in economic prosperity, better educational opportunities and access to better health and family welfare facilities. There will be a beneficial effect on human settlement due to employment opportunities from various industries in the area. The standard & quality of life of local people will be improved due to the M/s Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. This factor combined with all other mitigation measures like proper treatment and disposal of Hazardous and liquid wastes and gaseous emission will have a beneficial impact on human settlement and employment opportunities. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-15

176 There will be no displacement of population in plant area. Any major activity that may lead to resettlement of the people is considered as permanent impact. Hence, there is no permanent impact on this account SOCIO - ECONOMIC IMPACTS EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES During construction phase, skilled and unskilled manpower will be needed. This will temporarily increase the employment opportunity. Secondary jobs are also bound to be generated to provide day-to-day needs and services to the work force. This will also temporarily increase the demand for essential daily utilities in the local market. The manpower requirement for the proposed project is expected to generate some permanent jobs and secondary jobs for the operation and maintenance of plant.

206 ACTION PLAN TO CONTROL AMBIENT AIR QUALITY AS PER NAAQES STANDARDS: Control Measures: The design stage endeavors to mitigate the problems related to environment and health at the process technology/ source level itself. Besides standards, emphasis would be given to comply with all design standards/ regulatory norms as specified by CPCB/MoEF/GPCB etc. Following measures would be taken right from the design stage to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory standards: Use of low sulfur fuels in D.G.Set. Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous release of volatile hydrocarbon streams. However, if during start-up/ shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon stream is released, the same 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 un-burnt hydrocarbons to the atmosphere INFORMATION FOR CONTROL OF FUGITIVE EMISSIONS The emissions are normally defined as emissions to the atmosphere resulting from leaking piping sources and equipments such as valves, flanges, pump seals, connections, and compressor seals open end lines and pressure relief valves. The emissions are not visually observed but can be measured in relatively low concentration at each area of source. Fugitive emissions from the proposed project would be significant as there will be air pollution due to activities like material handling, transfer points of materials and movement of vehicles. Fugitive emissions are expected to be generated during construction and operation stages of the proposed project. During construction stage, main source of fugitive emission is dust which is expected mainly due to movement of vehicles carrying construction material and vehicles used for construction. During operation stage, leakage through valves, pumps, emission from open drum containing chemicals, open feeding; storage tanks, etc. are the major sources of fugitive emissions of organic chemicals and VOCs. Excess use of solvent may also results fugitive emission from the process vessels. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-18

207 The above will be controlled by having proper scrubbing system with a provision of primary, and secondary scrubber, Condenser, Chilling Plant and boiler stacks will be provided with adequate height. Condenser to trap VOC, solid raw material charging will be done through closed system. Proper maintenance schedule will be adhered to avoid emissions through flange joints, pump seals etc. Proper gland packing is always maintained for pumps and valves and to the extent possible pumps will be with mechanical seal. M/s. Vapi Products Industries Pvt. Ltd. will have fully closed system. Adequate dust collector will be installed for control of fugitive emission during loading of raw material and product. Condenser will be provided to trap VOC. All the Flange joints of the pipe lines which carry solvents will be covered with flange guards. All the rotating equipments like pumps will be installed with Mechanical Seals to arrest any sort of emissions. VOC detectors will be installed at various places to identify any fugitive emissions. A regular preventive maintenance schedule will be in place to replace or rectify all gaskets and joints etc as a part of ISO systems to ensure no fugitive emissions shall take place. Following measures will be adopted to prevent and control fugitive emissions 1. Airborne dust at all transfers operations/ points will be controlled either by spraying water or providing enclosures. 2. Care will be taken to store construction material properly to prevent fugitive emissions, if any. 3. Regular maintenance of valves, pumps, flanges, joints and other equipment will be done to prevent leakages and thus minimizing the fugitive emissions of VOCs. 4. Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with proper maintenance of pressure and temperature. 5. Periodic monitoring of work area will be carried out to check the fugitive emission. 6. Breather valves will be provided on solvent tanks. 7. Solvent tank vents will be connected to vent chillers. 8. To eliminate chances of leakages from glands of pumps, mechanical seal will be provided at all solvent pumps. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-19

208 9. Close feeding system will be provided for centrifuges. Centrifuge and filtrate tank vents will be connected to vent chillers. 10. Minimum number of flanges, joints and valves in pipelines. 11. Enclosures to chemical storage area, collection of emission from loading of raw materials in particular solvents through hoods and ducts by induced draft, and control by scrubber / dust collector to be ensured. 12. Nitrogen blanketing will be provided, besides special care needs to be taken for control in respect of odorous chemicals ODOR CONTROL PLAN The chemicals used or manufactured related to the proposed project do not release any disagreeable odor. However if any spillage or leakage of such chemicals are taken place then following material handling procedures will be followed to reduce the Odour and release of chemical vapors in atmosphere. Procedure for unloading chemicals from tankers When a liquid is transferred from one container to another the air from the receiving container is displaced to atmosphere and the air from atmosphere is sucked into the container from which the material is transferred. The air released from receiving container is contaminated with vapors of the liquid being transferred. To avoid this release of vapors into atmosphere, the contaminated air from receiving tank is let into the tanker from where the material is transferred with help of a designated pipe line called as pressure equalization line or vent equalization line. The system has been depicted in the following drawing. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-20

209 Procedure for transferring chemicals from one tank to another tank or reactor. The same technique of pressure equalization is used for transfer of liquid from one tank to another tank or reactor to reduce the release of vapors to atmosphere. The system has been depicted in the following drawing. Spill control measures The accidental spill of chemicals is handled in a systematic manner to reduce the odor. 1. The area where the chemical spillage can take place is covered with appropriate adsorbent material like soda ash, saw dust or even an earth using all necessary Personal Protective equipment (PPE). 2. Contaminated area is then cleaned with soap and water and the water used is transferred to ETP. 3. Masking agents (e.g. PIION, ECOPEARL) spray is then used to reduce the impact of lingering odors. Odor can be defined as the perception of smell or scientific terms as a sensation resulting from the reception of stimulus by the olfactory sensory system. Whether EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-21

210 pleasant or unpleasant, odors are induced by inhaling air-borne volatile organics or inorganic. An odor is the most complex of all the air pollution problems. Unlike conventional air pollutants, odor has distinctly different characteristics, which, to an extent, can be comparable with noise pollution. Similar to noise, nuisance is the primary effect of odor on people. Some of such characteristics are: Substance of similar or dissimilar chemical constitution may have similar odors. Nature and strength of odor may change on dilution. Weak odors are not perceived in presence of strong odors. Odors of same strength blend to produce a combination in, which one or both may be unrecognizable. Constant intensity of odors causes an individual to quickly loose awareness of the sensation and only noticed when it varies in intensity. Fatigue for one odor may not affect the perception of dissimilar odors but will interfere with the perception of similar odors. An unfamiliar odor is more likely to cause complaint than a familiar one. Two or more odorous substances may cancel the smell of each other. Odors travel downwind. Person can smell a distance. Many animals have keener sense of olfaction than man. Like a dislike often depend on association of the scent with pleasant or unpleasant experiences. Odor controls depends on type of sources and are discussed below: a) Odor control from area sources For large area sources following methods can be used to reduce odor complaints. i. Excluding development close to the site A reasonable buffer zone around the area sources has to be determined. The actual size of this zone will depend upon a number of factors, including the size of the area from which odors emanate, the intensity of the odors being emitted, the duration and EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-22

211 frequency of the odor emissions, the actual process being undertaken, the topography of the site, the weather conditions that prevails at the site. Green belt development in the buffer zone may help at least partially to obfuscate the odor. ii. Ensuring that the operation in carried out under the best management practice Best management practices (BMP) will vary according to the industry producing the odor. However, for all new developments, BMPs will start with the site selection and the building of the facilities. b) Odor control from point sources In case of point sources such as that of industries, the odor-causing gas stream can be collected through piping and ventilation system and made available for treatment. Dispersion method is the simples of the methods that can be adopted for odor abatement. This is nothing but to release odorous gases from tall stack. It results in normal dispersion in the atmosphere and consequent decrease in ground-level concentration below the threshold value. An array of treatment technologies is available for control of odor from gas streams collected through process ventilation systems. These include : Mist Filtration Thermal Oxidation / Incineration Catalytic Oxidation Biofiltration Adsorption Wet Scrubbing / Absorption The choice of the technology is often influenced by the factors such as volume of gas (or vapor) being produced and its flow rate, chemical composition of the mixture causing the odor, temperature, water content of the stream, etc. i) Mist Filtration While gases cause most odors, problems may also result from aerosols in the fumes. Odorous air streams frequently contain high concentration of moisture. If these vapor EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-23

212 discharge can be cooled to less than 40 o C, a substantial quantity of the water vapor will be condensed and so reduce the volume of gases to be incinerated. Mist filters can be used for this purpose. Mist filters can also remove solids and liquids from gas stream; if the odor is caused by these particles, then it will result in odor reduction. ii) Thermal Oxidation / Incineration Thermal Oxidation / Incineration is oxidation of the odor into Carbon Dioxide and water by the combustion of the odor with fuel and air. The reaction takes place at temperatures ranging from 750 o C to 850 o C. This is generally above the auto-ignition temperature of most solvents and other VOC s and is a reflection of the heat required to maintain the reaction at dilute concentrations with additional process heat losses. In this regime, the destruction efficiency is almost 100 %, assuming adequate Oxygen supply. In some cases, other compounds may be formed depending on the mixture of fuel and air used the flame temperature and the composition of the odor. These compounds may include Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Sulfur oxides. Thermal oxidizer is a refractory-lined furnace fitted with one or more burners. The furnace consists of two chambers - Mixing Chamber and Combustion Chamber. iii) Catalytic Oxidation Catalytic Oxidation reaction can be forced to proceed at much lower temperatures (e.g. 200 o C) in the presence of a catalyst. Thus, the advantage of this process over Thermal Oxidation is the reduction in required energy input. Catalytic systems are therefore more favorable where auto-thermal operation is not practical and heat can be economically used elsewhere. A number of transition and precious metal catalysts can be used in Catalytic Oxidizer to destroy various VOC s over a wide range of process conditions. iv) Biofiltration This method is becoming an acceptable and successful way of reducing odors from biological process. Biofiltration is a natural process that occurs in the soil that has been adopted for commercial use. Bio-filters contain micro-organisms that break down VOC s EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-24

213 and oxidize inorganic gases and vapors into non-malodorous compounds such as water and CO 2. The bacteria grow on inert supports, allowing intimate contact between the odorous gases and the bacteria. The process is self-sustaining. Bio-filters constructed of various materials including compost, straw, wood chips, peat, soil and other inexpensive biologically active materials. Another type of bio-filter is the soil-bed filter. Here the odorous gas stream is allowed to flow through a porous soil with a typical depth of 60 cm. The bacteria in the soil are responsible for the destruction of the odorous compounds. v) Adsorption A method that is suitable for controlling odorous substances, even at low concentrations, is adsorption on to activated carbon; the contaminated air stream must be free from dusts and particulates that might clog the carbon particles. Regeneration of carbon for reuse will produce either waste water, which will require further treatment before disposal, or a concentrated vapor stream, which can be incinerated more cheaply than the original air stream. There are also systems that use Activated Alumina impregnated with Potassium Permanganate for adsorption. The Alumina absorbs the odorous substances so that the Permanganate can oxidize them, usually to Carbon Dioxide, water, Nitrogen and Sulfur Dioxide, depending on their composition. The alumina bed is replaced progressively as the Permanganate is exhausted. This has an advantage over carbon because no further treatment is needed; this may offset the cost of Alumina. vi) Wet Scrubbing / Absorption Wet scrubbing of gases to remove odor involve either absorption in a suitable solvent or chemical treatment with a suitable reagent. It is important that hot, moist streams are cooled before they contact scrubbing solutions. If this is not done the scrubbing solution will be heated and become less efficient, the scrubbing medium will become diluted from condensation of water vapor. Wet scrubbing of absorption systems can be either venture systems or packed tower systems. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-25

214 Venturi systems are co-current scrubbers that accelerate the gas stream into a high density liquor spray. The aqueous droplets then impinge or impact at high relative velocity with solids in the gas stream. The resulting conglomerated particle is then separated from the gas stream in a disengagement tower by virtue of inertial forces, the high density spray also provides reasonable mass transfer to the absorption of gaseous contaminants. Packed Towers are typically counter current scrubbers that utilize high surface area media as a contact zone for the gas stream with suitable scrubbing liquor. The media facilitates high efficiency mass transfer to provide > 99.9% removal of gaseous contaminants. When the odor is caused by the presence of unsaturated organic compounds, it may be necessary to use an oxidizing agent such as Chlorine, diluted Sulfuric Acid and Sodium Hydroxide to treat odor. Adsorption is applicable when the odorous are soluble or emulsifiable in a liquid or react chemically in solution. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-26

215 7.4.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The sound pressure level generated by a noise source decreases with increasing distance from the source due to wave divergence. The propagation and attenuation of noise pressure wave is dependent on many parameters amongst which, the medium of travel and the ambient conditions are the most significant parameters. In order to minimize adverse impact on the noise environment, due attention shall be given for implementing noise control measures. Comprehensive measures shall be taken at design stage for noise from proposed unit. The measures are as under: The noise level at the plant boundary shall be restricted to 75 db(a) during day time and 70 db(a) during night time. Noise level shall be specified for various rotating equipment as per Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) standards. Equipment lay-out shall be done considering segregation of high noise generating sources. Erection of suitable enclosure, if required, to minimize the impact of high noise generating sources. There may be small addition to the ambient noise level, due to the increased transportation activities. This creates a slight adverse impact on the sound environment. Regular oiling, lubrication and maintenance of the equipment shall be carried out to minimize noise generation. During Construction Phase Following measures shall be taken for abatement of noise during construction phase: Noise emissions from construction equipment will be kept to a minimum by regular maintenance. Heavy and noisy construction jobs shall be avoided during night hours. Following measures shall be adopted for abatement of noise during operation phase: Acoustic laggings, enclosures and silencers shall be provided wherever necessary for high noise generating equipment. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-27

216 Sound proof glass paneling shall be provided for all operating stations / control rooms as well as for shift rooms at critical places. Strict implementation/ compliance of all statutory norms w.r.t. noise generation, occupational exposure shall be done. Use of personal protective devices such as ear-muffs and ear-plugs shall be strictly enforced. Acoustic barriers / shelter shall be developed in noisy workplaces. Noise generating sources in the plant areas shall be monitored regularly. Monitoring of ambient noise levels should also be carried out regularly both inside the premises as well as outside the greenbelt. During Operation Phase However, due to the attenuation of noise level within the factory and due to the fact that the project site is situated in a well developed industrial estate and not in the immediate vicinity of human settlement, significant impact is not expected in the nearest present human settlement. The volume of transport vehicles to be handled is very low. The company shall develop a green belt around the periphery of the premises, which shall act as a barrier to the propagation of noise from the factory premises. This shall further reduce the noise levels appreciably. It is recommended to measure and maintain records of noise level at various places within and outside factory premises. Manufacturers/ suppliers of major noise generating equipment/ machines like compressors, turbines, generators should be asked to take required measures for minimizing the noise levels generated by machines by using noise absorbing material for various enclosures or using appropriate design/ technology for fabricating/ assembling the machines. Audiometric tests should be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. EIA Report prepared by M/s Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 7-28

228 8.3. Description of the Environment BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS AIR ENVIRONMENT The dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is a function of several meteorological parameters viz. temperature, wind speed and direction, mixing depths, inversion level, etc. The ambient air samples were collected and analyzed for Particulate Matter (PM 10 ), Particulate Matter (PM 2.5 ), Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2 ), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Ozone (O 3 ), Lead (Pb), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonia (NH 3 ), Benzene (C 6 H 6 ), Benzo (a) Pyrene (BaP), Arsenic (AS), Nickel (Ni), HCl & VOCs were monitored at site and nearby villages for identification, prediction, evaluation and assessment of potential impact on ambient air environment. The maximum concentration of SPM (120.9 µg/m 3 ), PM 10 (92.8 µg/m 3 ), PM 2.5 (59.6 µg/m 3 ), SO 2 (38.5 µg/m 3 ), maximum concentration of NOx (25.2 µg/m 3 ), maximum concentration of O 3 (12.4 µg/m 3 ), maximum concentration of CO (1.58 µg/m 3 ), maximum concentration of VOC (1.1 ppm), was recorded in study area. The minimum concentration of SPM (101.2 µg/m 3 ), PM 10 (59.1 µg/m 3 ), PM 2.5 (38.9 µg/m 3 ), SO 2 (15.6 µg/m 3 ), minimum concentration of NOx (14.2 µg/m 3 ), minimum concentration of O 3 (9.1 µg/m 3 ), minimum concentration of CO (1.14 µg/m 3 ), minimum concentration of VOC (0.4 ppm), was recorded in study area. The PM 10 and PM 2.5 concentrations at all the AAQM locations were primarily caused by local phenomena including industrial & vehicular activities and natural dust getting air borne due to manmade activities and blowing wind. PM 10 and PM 2.5 concentrations were observed below stipulated standards of CPCB for Industrial, Residential, Rural and Other Area at all air quality monitoring locations during the monitoring period.

Prolonged exposure to air and light may form unstable peroxides especially when anhydrous and unless it is inhibited against peroxide formation. Special Remarks on Corrosivity: It will attack some forms of plastics, rubber, coatings. Polymerization: Will not occur. Section 11: Toxicological Information Routes of Entry: Absorbed through skin. Eye contact. Inhalation. Ingestion. Toxicity to Animals: WARNING: THE LC50 VALUES HEREUNDER ARE ESTIMATED ON THE BASIS OF A 4- HOUR EXPOSURE. Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 1650 mg/kg [Rat]. Acute toxicity of the vapor (LC50): mg/m3 2 hours [Mouse]. Chronic Effects on Humans: MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. Mutagenic for bacteria and/or yeast. May cause damage to the following organs: blood, kidneys, lungs, liver, upper respiratory tract, skin, eyes, central nervous system (CNS). Other Toxic Effects on Humans: Hazardous in case of ingestion, of inhalation. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant, permeator). Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals: Not available. Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans: A- 67

314 May affect genetic material (mutagenic). May cause adverse reproductive effects. based on animal test data. No human data found at this time. Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans: Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes skin irritation. May be absorbed through skin and cause symptoms similar those of inhalation and ingestion. Eyes: Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation with possible eye burns. Vapors may cause eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause upper respiratory tract (nose, throat) irriation. High concentrations may affect behavior/central nervous system (central nervous system depression/effects characterized by headache, general anesthetic, dizziness, somnolence, muscle weakness, loss of conciousness, and coma), respiration (respiratory stimulation, dyspnea), andgastrointestinal tract (nausea, vomiting). Ingestion: May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, abdominal pain. May also affect the liver and behavior/central nervous system with symptoms similar to inhalation. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause defatting and dermatitis. Eyes: Prolonged or repeated eye contact may cause conjunctivitis. Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated exposure to vapors may affect the liver, kidneys, muculosketal system, endrocrine system (spleen and thymus), blood, cardiovascular system, thymus, spleen, and lungs (lung damage). Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated exposure from ingestion may affect the blood, and metabolism. Section 12: Ecological Information Ecotoxicity: Ecotoxicity in water (LC50): 2160 mg/l 96 hours [Fish (Fathead Minnow)]. BOD5 and COD: Not available. Products of Biodegradation: Possibly hazardous short term degradation products are not likely. However, long term degradation products may arise. Toxicity of the Products of Biodegradation: The products of degradation are less toxic than the product itself. Special Remarks on the Products of Biodegradation: Not available. A- 68
