INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT 2.1 Identification of the Project and Project Proponent M/s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited, (HPCL), a Government of India Enterprise, is engaged in Refining, Storage and Marketing of Petroleum Products. The kota LPG Bottling Plant of M/s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (HPCL) was commissioned in the year 2002 and located at Manda village on the Kota- Jhalawar Road (National Highway no. 12) on 68 acres of land. The nearest villages are Mandana and Mukundpura situated approximately 1.28 KM and 1.24 KM at south and south-west of the plant respectively. Agriculture land and NH-12 1 P a g e
at west, Agriculture land at north side of the plant, railway track at east side of the plant. LPG is received at the plant by Road Tankers of capacity 12 and 18 MT from Ajmer, Jamnagar, Gail Vijaypur & Bhatinda (HMEL). The bulk tankers are unloaded into four Bullets of total 506MT (2 x 159 bullets, 1 x 98 and 1 x 90 bullets.) capacities. Plant is having Tank truck decantation unit with six bays each having unloading arms. HPCL LPG bottling Plant Kota supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic filled cylinders in five revenue district of Rajasthan and Two district of Madhya Pradesh. 2.2 Brief Description of nature of the Project The proposed LPG storage capacity enhancement of LPG bottling plant from 506 MT to 2006 MT by constructing new 3 X 500 MT Mounded Storage Vessels within existing plant premises. LPG will be coming to the Plant by road in trucks from Ajmer, Jamnagar, Gail Vijaypur & Bhatinda (HMEL). etc. This is being stored in bullets then filled in various capacities of the cylinders within the plant and sold (dispatched) to the distributors and direct customers. 2.3 Need for the Project and its importance Based upon LPG consumption scenario, need is felt to enhance the LPG storage capacity at Kota LPG Bottling plant. To achieve the same, HPCL LPG Bottling Plant proposes to install three new mounded storage vessels of capacity 500 MT each. This will improve the storage capacity of LPG at existing plant with enhanced cover from 2.5 days to 5 days and distribution network. Moreover Mounded Storage Vessel is the safest and proven storage in vogue. 2.4 LPG Import At HPCL LPG Bottling Plant Kota, LPG is being received from Ajmer, Essar, Pali, Jamnagar, Gail Vijaypur & Bhatinda (HMEL). etc., through truck tankers. 2.5 Cylinder Supply HPCL LPG bottling Plant Kota supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic filled cylinders in five revenue district of Rajasthan ( Jhalwar, Bundi, Sawai Madhopur, Karauli, dholpur) and two revenue district of Madhya Pradesh (ujjain, Gwalior) 2.6 Employment Generation due to the Project The proposed Expansion project will provide indirect employment to about 30-40 persons during the construction phase and also in transportation during construction phase. 2 P a g e
3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Type of the Project This is Storage capacity enhancement project of Existing HPCL LPG bottling Plant from 506 MT to 2006 MT at Plot No.499 Kota-Jhalawar Road (NH-12) Village Mandana, Tehsil- Ladpura, Cable Nagar, Kota (Rajasthan) 325003. This project falls under item no. 6 (b): Isolated storage & handling of hazardous chemicals under the category B (general conditions apply) as per the EIA notification 2006 and its amendments. 3.2 Project Location The Project site is located at Plot No.499 Kota-Jhalawar Road (NH-12) Village Mandana, Tehsil- Ladpura, Cable Nagar, Kota (Rajasthan) 325003.

3.3 Process Details At Plant LPG is received through Truck Tankers of generally 12 MT and 18 MT capacity. LPG is being received from Ajmer, Essar, Pali, Jamnagar, Gail Vijaypur & Bhatinda (HMEL). etc. There is 6 bay gantry for unloading of LPG. Further it is stored in above ground bullets 2 X 159 MT, 1 X 98 and 1 X 90 MT. Maximum existing inventory of LPG at the plant is 506 MT. Plant operates in one shifts. LPG from Bullets is pumped with the help of LPG pumps to electronic carousel for cylinder filling operation. Domestic and Commercial cylinders of sizes 14.2 kg & 19 kg are filled. HPCL LPG bottling Plant supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic filled cylinders to the five revenue district of Rajasthan and two district of Madhya Pradesh. Defective cylinders are segregated for correction before dispatch to the market. All standard operating procedures are followed as per OISD and best engineering practices. Receipt of Bulk LPG from Road Tankers Storage of LPG in above ground bullets and Horton Sphere Empty Cylinders Bottling of LPG through electronic Carousal into 5, 14.2,19 kg LPG Cylinders Loading of Filled Cylinders into Packed Trucks Dispatch of Filled Packed Cylinder Trucks to Dealers Figure 5: Process Flow Diagram for HPCL, Kota LPG Bottling plant 7 P a g e
