CHAPTER-2 INTRODUCTION OF PROJECT /BACKGROUND INFORMATION 2.1 IDENTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT M/s Aryan Energy (P) Ltd. hereinafter referred as AEPL is operating a Coal Washery Plant of capacity 2.34 Million TPA within the Industrial Estate of South Balanda in Angul district of Odisha. The project is spread over an area of 10 acres. The raw coal is received from the nearby coal fields of M/s Mahanadi Coal Field Limited and the washed coal is dispatched to the different consumers like M/s Andhra Pradesh Power Development Company Limited, M/s Orissa Sponge Iron & Steel Limited, National Aluminium Company Ltd. (NALCO), Indian Metal & Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) etc. The solid waste like Washery Rejects are also consumed by some the local [players for power generation like Bhusan Steel Limited, Vedanta, Jindal Stainless Steel etc. The present proposal is to enhance the washing capacity from the existing 2.34 Million TPA to 5.0 Million TPA by installing Heavy Media Bath/Drum in parallel to the existing one. Most of the ancillary facilities and infrastructures shall be common for both the units. The present expansion shall be carried out within the existing premises of the plant and hence, no additional land shall be required to install the new one. The project is well accessible by road & rail. The district headquarter i.e. Angul is at a distance of 7 km from the project and the State Capital is approx. 100 km (crow fly distance). The nearest railway station is Talcher at a distance of approx. 4 km. M/s AEPL has more than a decade long experience in coal beneficiation by adopting suitable technologies for the last 10 years. M/s AEPL is operating three (03) washeries at different locations in India and has served many consumers. The following are the units established by M/s AEPL.

No. Name of the Board of Directors Designation 1. Mr. Rudra Sen Sindhu Chairman Cum Managing Director 2. Mr. Ajay Mrig Non-Executive Director 3. Mr. Vritpal Sindhu Whole Time Director 4. Mr. Vir Sen Sindhu Joint Managing Director 5. Mr. Kartikeswar Patra Director 2.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROJECT M/s Aryan Energy Pvt. Ltd. has established a coal beneficiation plant in the year 2003, for supplying washed coal to consumers who were receiving raw coal for their plants from different mines of M/s MCL. The plant is located on a land measuring 10.0 Ac. at Village Tentulei in the District of Angul. The location is in near proximity to the different mines of Talcher Coalfields of MCL, which are located at a distance between 5 to 10 kms. M/s Aryan Energy Pvt. Ltd. (AEPL) is the pioneer in establishing a washery in the work area of MCL. About 90 % of the coal produced in MCL conforms to Gr. F (as per earlier classification), having ash % between 37 to 47 %. About 70 % of the coal produced by MCL is being consume by State Power Utilities, IPPs, CPPs located at far-flung areas of India. The installed capacity of the plant is 2.34 Million TPA (throughput) of raw coal. The raw coal is received from the nearby mines through mechanically closed trucks and is washed in the plant using Barrel Washery. Water is mainly used for washing of the coal and at later stage water is separated out from the coal and stored in the Water harvesting pond after suitable treatment. There is a loss of almost 1 % of the total water during the entire process. The washer coal is sent to the consumer through rail and M/s AEPL has agreement with M/s Global Coal Washery for utilizing the railway siding allotted to them which is at a distance of approx. 0.2 km from the plant boundary. The washery rejects which has the potential to generate power is being consumed by many local industries like Bhusan Steel, Jindal Stainless Steel etc for CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 3
power generation. Even the coal fines are also consumed by some of the local players. The work orders from the different industries for consuming the washed coal, washery rejects and fines are enclosed. Due to rising demand of washed coal and the MOEF s guideline on utilization of washer coal, there is an immense pressure in the region to develop some more additional coal washery projects. Viewing the demand of the washed coal, M/s AEPL has planned to install one more additional unit of coal washing section using Heavy Media Bath/Drum technology within the existing plant which is also based on wet process and is very environment friendly. The following facilities / amenities/ infrastructures are available at the site. 1. Administrative Buildings & Office Buildings. 2. Rest Shelter & Car Shed. 3. Canteen. 4. Store & Scrap yard. 5. Workshop & Maintenance shed. 6. Diesel Filling Arrangement. 7. Laboratory & Sampling room. 8. Water Reservoir for use at the Washery. 9. Separate Stockyard for Clean Coal & Rejects. 10. Weighbridge for Road Sale. 11. Railway siding (acquired on rental basis). All these facilities have been provided, keeping in mind the expansion of the plant in future. Thus no infrastructural civil constructions are necessary other than some modifications of the existing system and one additional washing section. 2.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY/ REGION To meet the demand for energy requirements of all sectors including the vulnerable households in all parts of the country with safe, clean and convenient energy at the coal works out to be most cost efficient at the present juncture. CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 4
India is a strong player in the sponge iron business. In order to push up the production of sponge iron in the country and to gainfully utilize natural resources, the Government is encouraging the development of coal washery. Coal acts as fuel as well as reducing agent in industrial sectors. Power plants are the major consumers of coal followed by sponge iron industries as well as integrated steel plants. Coal based power plants play a leading role in power generation in our country. About 70% of the country s power is generated from coal based power plants. The quality of coal plays an important role in the environmental aspects of a power plant and improper grade of coal also results in poor plant performance and high cost of operation & maintenance. The plants are designed for a particular range of quality of coal and any deviation in coal quality adversely affect the performance and efficiency of the plants. The key areas of concern in coal are ash content and inconsistency in quality of coal. Thus the need of beneficiation of coal is felt and accordingly the thrust has been given to this. Apart from this, there are various factors which are required to be evaluated for the need of washing coal. The various factors are summarized below. Economy in long distance transportation of raw coal Poor performance and efficiency of plant using unwashed raw coal Ash management Multiplicity of supply sources in many cases further adds to the problems of inconsistency in quality of coal. Benefits of Using Washed Coal Increased generation efficiency, mainly due to the reduction in energy loss as inert material passes through the combustion process. Increased plant availability. Reduced investment costs. Reduced operation and maintenance (O & M) costs due to less wear and reduced costs for fuel and ash handling. Energy conservation in the transportation sector and lower transportation costs. Less impurities and improved coal quality. CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 5
Reduced load on the air pollution control system. Reduction in the amount of solid waste that has to be disposed off. Based on the above facts, it is felt that washing of coal in the present scenario shall help us in achieving the operational efficiency and better plant performance. Hence, washing of coal plays vital role in the National as well as for Regional interest. 2.4 COAL RESERVE IN INDIA As a result of exploration carried out up to the maximum depth of 1200 metre by the GSI, CMPDI, SCCL, MECL, DGM (Maharashtra) and DGM (Chhattisgarh) etc., a cumulative total of 2,93,497 Million Tonnes of Geological Resources of Coal have so far been estimated in the country as on 1.4.2012. 2.5 DEMAND SUPPLY GAP India in electricity sector is the major consumer accounting for about 72 % of total coal consumption. Its demand has been projected based on the total generation capacity envisaged in successive five-year plan periods. The estimation of long-term of coal demand for other sectors, except iron & steel and cement, are difficult due to factors like rapid changes in the relative availability and prices of different fuels as well as the technological changes etc. The expert committee on Integrated Energy Policy has estimated the long term power demand and non power demand based on the growth projections made by different agencies. The committee has made an assessment of the requirement of coal under different scenarios using multi-sector, multi-period optimizing linear programming model. Three alternative scenarios considered by the committee are:- i. Coal dominant scenario: with maximum coal based electricity. ii. iii. Maximum development of hydro, nuclear and gas based generation. Low coal scenario: maximizing efficiency and contribution from renewable energy sources. Based on various estimates one possible scenario of sector-wise demand of major industry groups has been projected as given the table below: CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 6

3.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATE SITES CONSIDERED AND THE BASIS OF SELECTING THE PROPOSED SITE No alternate sites were taken into consideration for the expansion project because the proposed expansion is planned to be carried out over the vacant land within the acquired plant premises. The land allotted to M/s AEPL measures about 10 acres and there is sufficient area to lay one additional stream of washing section parallel to the existing one. 3.4 SIZE OR MAGNITUDE OF OPERATION M/s AEPL proposes to install additional one stream of Coal Washery using Heavy Media Bath/Drum technology. The installed capacity of the proposed installed washery will be 2.66 million tonne per annum throughput. There exist 350 TPH Barrel Washer and it has been planned to install 400 TPH Heavy Media Bath/Drum. The plant will operate 20 hours in a day and 335 days in a year. The total installed capacity after the proposed expansion shall be 5.00 Million TPA and out of which 3.70 Million TPA shall be washed coal and 1.30 Million TPA shall be washery rejects. The washed coal shall be transported to the consumers through rail and the washery rejects shall be supplied to the local players having FBC/AFBC Boilers for power generation. The railway siding at a distance of 200 mtrs from the existing plant boundary. 3.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND FLOW DIAGRAM Existing :- Beneficiation of Coal Using Barrel Washer The Barrel is fed with 25-50 mm sized coal through a double deck screen. The slurry media pumped up from the slurry tank and forced through the upper end of the barrel joins this coal. The barrel rotates at a predetermined speed, making the feed back inside it to roll on itself, resulting in stratification of the coal particles according to density, the heaviest settling at the bottom. The barrel is fitted internally with specially designed spirals. The spiral action generated due to rotation of the barrel makes the heavier material laying at the bottom to move backward i.e. to the feed end of the barrel and is discharged as reject. CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 10
The lighter material in the upper stratified layer is carried down by the flow of the fluid to the lower end of the barrel i.e the discharge end and is collected as deshaled coal after draining out the media. Material flowing out from both ends of the barrel is dewatered and the slurry is separated by a set of Trammel and a single deck vibrating screen. The slurry is stored in the slurry tank for recirculation into the circuit. The process flow sheet, Material Balance and Water Balance of the existing unit is depicted in Annexure II, III & IV respectively. Expansion :- Beneficiation of Coal Using Heavy Media Bath/Drum The raw coal is crushed to 0-50 mm size by double roll crusher and screened by double deck screens to make it suitable for use in beneficiating process. The raw coal having size -50 mm to +6 mm is fed to HM Bath/Drum, where media at a prespecified specific gravity is maintained. The coal lighter than the specific gravity of the media float and is removed from bath mechanically by a moving scraper conveyor which removes the sinks in its return stroke. The coal taken out from H.M Bath/Drum is passed through D/R screens for washing with water jet to remove magnetite content and the dewatered coal is collected as washed coal. The -6 mm portion is blended with the Bath product and dispatched as clean coal having prespecified quality. The rejected coal is also passed through de-watering screen and washed with water to remove magnetite. The dewatered sinks are collected as rejected coal. The Magnetite washed from the body of coal by water is collected as dilute media in dilute media sump. It is pumped to a wet drum magnetic separator for recovery of magnetite which is again fed back to H.M Bath. This maintains the consistency in specific gravity in the H.M Bath. The tailing from the separator is collected in coal thickener (-0.5 mm size) where the coagulation and flocculation are done to allow the fines particles to settle fast in the bottom. The thickened fines are taken out by thickener under flow pump and fed to a vacuum drum filter for dewatering of fine coal. The cleaner overflow water from the thickener is reused in the plant process. Thus the plant operates in CEMC Pvt. Ltd. Page 11
complete closed circuit. The process flow sheet, Material Balance and Water Balance of the proposed unit is depicted in Annexure V, VI & VII respectively. 3.6 RAW MATERIAL REQUIRED ALONG WITH ESTIMATED QUANTITY, LIKELY SOURCE, MARKETING AREA OF FINAL PRODUCT/S, MODE OF TRANSPORT OF RAW MATERIAL AND FINISHED PRODUCT The plant will have the washing capacity of 5.00 Million TPA of raw coal after the proposed expansion. The existing plant- has the washing capacity of 2.34 Million TPA of raw coal. The additional capacity 2.66 Million TPA of raw coal shall be cleaned in the proposed expansion using Heavy Media Bath/Drum technology. The raw coal will be sourced from the nearby mines of M/s Mahanadi Coalfield Limited (MCL) of Talcher region. The raw coal shall be transported to the plant site through road network using mechanically covered trucks. The finished product shall be dispatched to the customers like National Aluminium Company Limited (NALCO), Orissa Sponge Iron & Steel Limited, Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGENCO), Indian Metal & Ferro Alloys Limited (IMFA) and other customers through rail. The railway siding of M/s Global Coal & Mining Pvt. Ltd. is/shall be utilized for transport of clean coal. There is an agreement between M/s AEPL and M.s Global Coal & Mining Pvt. Ltd. for use of railway siding which is at a distance of approx. 0.2 km from the plant boundary.
