Client: M/s Bansal EnviroTech Pvt. Ltd. ToR Compliance
Location: PSIEC Industrial Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali), Distt SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab

Reply The proposed project is an innovative state of the art Common Effluent Treatment Plant to be established on ZLD basis,
for effluent generated primarily from MSME and large scale industries located in and around the region including
Mohali Industrial Area and Chandigarh Industrial Area and adjoining areas involved in metal surface finishing and
polishing processes which are devoid of any treatment facilities for their effluent. There will be approximately 150
member industries from Mohali, Chandigarh initially and later on other adjoining Industrial Focal Points of Dera Bassi,
Nabha, Patiala, Mandi Gobindgarh can also be catered through this project, with reduced transportation costs due to
proximity as compared to Ludhiana CETP. The upcoming industries in the industrial areas will also be catered and the
industries located in these areas will be given an excellent, professional service to treat their effluent and procure treated
water for the secondary uses and save on their resources and water requirements. There are many ancillary small
industries of Swaraj tractors and bath fitting industries which are involved in phosphating, knealing, greasing,
galvanizing operations, and generate effluent which can be treated under the proposed project. It is to be noted that a
majority of the water based processing industries are located in the industrial areas of Mohali and Chandigarh,

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

MONITORING PERIOD
The monitoring of environmental parameters has been conducted for M/s Rainbow
Environment Pvt. Ltd. in the period November’2018- January’2019 by M/s Shivalik Solid
Waste Management Ltd. which is being used for CETP project located at PSIEC Industrial
Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali), Distt SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab as M/s Rainbow
Environment Pvt. Ltd. falls within the core zone of CETP. Further, additional monitoring has
been carried out at the CETP project site in March’2020 prior to lockdown period. The
monitoring has been carried out in accordance with the guidelines issued by the Ministry of
Environment, Forest & Climate Change, CPCB and PPCB.

AMBIENT AIR QUALITY DATA

PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 levels (Criteria Pollutants) as well as NH3 and O3 were monitored
at eight locations in the 10 km study area by M/s Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd. and
at project location by M/s. Eco Laboratories & Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Sites of the monitoring
stations were kept keeping in view of the dominant wind direction. On an average, the
observed levels are as follows: PM10 from 65.7 µg/m3 to 76 µg/m3 around the project location
and 89 µg/m3 at the project site, PM2.5 varies from 24.1µg/m3 to 31.5µg/m3 around the
project location and 51.5 µg/m3 at the project location, SO2 from 3.8 µg/m3 to 6.3 µg/m3
around the project location and 13.5 µg/m3 at the project site and NO2 from 8.9 µg/m3 to 15.7
µg/m3. The results when compared with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for "Industrial/ Residential/ Rural and Other
Areas", it was observed that all the values of SO2, NO2, CO and PAH were within the
prescribed limits. Mass levels of particulate dust as PM10 & PM2.5 are within the 24 hours
average NAAQ standards of 100 µg/m3 and 60 µg/m3 respectively.

AMBIENT NOISE QUALITY DATA

Ambient noise levels were measured at 5 locations within the project location and 8 locations
outside near the project. Noise levels varied from 45.2 dB(A) and 58.8 dB during the day
time and were 38.3 dB and 54.1 dB during the night time in the study area. The obtained
noise levels are well within prescribed limits for industrial area whereas marginally higher to

prescribed limits for residential areas indicating annoying environment for population and
sensitive receptors. Noisy environmental conditions are mainly associated to industrial
activities, heavy traffic movement on road network, etc.

WATER QUALITY DATA

The ground water test results indicate that water is good in quality and safe for drinking
purpose. In the study area, since the samples have been collected from different sites at
isolated places, the level of concentration and different elements vary quite considerably
which may be due to small aquifers. However, the levels of the various components are
within acceptable/ permissible norms for drinking water.
As effluent generated from the different types of industries will be treated in proposed CETP;
thus, there is no possibility that surface water quality will be affected.

SOIL QUALITY DATA

The soil analysis results in the study area indicates that soil is alkaline in nature and Sandy
loam texture at the project site and silty clay at locations around the project site with medium
class of fertility.

LAND USE/LAND COVER

The study area consists 90.5% (286.82 sq.km.) of agriculture land, settlement 3.90% (12.36
sq.km.), water body 3.38% (10.7 sq.km.) and Plantation 2.18% (6.90 sq.km.).

TRAFFIC STUDY
Traffic study measurement were performed at one location i.e. Kurali bypass road
connecting the project to assess impact on local transport infrastructure due to this proposed
project. From the study, it has been concluded that the LOS value due to the proposed
project vary from excellent to good. So, the additional load on the carrying capacity of the
road due to said project is not likely to have any significant adverse effect.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS
The sociological aspects of the project area have been studied that include human settlements,
demographic, socio economic aspects among others. The economic aspects include
agriculture, industry and occupational structures of workers. The demographic and socio -
economic details are described in the following sections:

1. There are around 124 villages within 10 km radius of the project area, 53 villages
falling under Rupnagar District headquarters and 71 villages under Sahibzada Ajit
Singh Nagar District headquarters (as per administrative division). As per the latest
Census of India data (2011), total no. of households in the project area is 81,786 (in
no.) in the 126 identified villages. Further, of total population of 4,14,633 (in no.)
53.3% is male population and 46.6% is female population while, only 31.4% belong
to Scheduled Caste, with no identified scheduled tribes in the 10 km radius of project
area.
2. Out of total 3,02,592 (72 .9%) of the literate population, 56.2% is male population
and 43.7% is female population.
3. Total working population is 1,46,755, out of which 81.6% is male working population
and 18.3 is female working population

ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY

The faunal and floral diversity observed during the field survey does not claim considerable
attention as most of the species observed are common throughout the region and no Rare,
Endangered and Threatened species or endemic species were present. The area also does not
possess the capacity to support such ecologically important species and their conservation.
The impact of the project activities thus is understood to be negligible on the biological
environment. Further, it is advisable to increase the green area through plantation in the
available land so that the local faunal and floral biodiversity may increase.

1.4 IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT

Rapid industrialization is underway in India and the State of Punjab, industrial and technology
hubs are emerging to cater to the growing demand export and domestic demand. The
environmental burden of the fast paced industrialization must be mitigated in a responsible
manner while ensuring maximize ease of doing business.
The State of Punjab has been drawing investment into the state while rejuvenating the existing
industries through initiatives like Invest in Punjab and the Right to Business Act, 2019. Common
Environmental Infrastructure forms a part of key support infrastructure as industries, especially
MSME sector, are seldom in a position to execute adequate environmental mitigation measures
successfully.
The State of Punjab has stressed on the development of Common Environment Infrastructure in
the Investment and Business Development Policy, 2017. Dedicating Chapter 4.7 to Common
Environment Infrastructure, the policy reiterates the importance and need of common
environmental infrastructure and the dedication of the State to aid the development. The relevant
excerpt of the Investment and Business Development, 2017 are reproduced herein under,

“4.7.1 The State firmly believes that Industrial development has to be environmentally
sustainable. Common Environment Infrastructure is the need of the hour for industries not
capable of putting up their own Environment Management System due to technical, financial or
land related constraints. This is particularly required to support MSME units in various
industrial clusters.”
Whereas, the State has reiterated its commitment to facilitating the development of Common
Environment Infrastructure in Clause 4.7.2.

Furthermore, the Supreme Court of India in landmark ‘Paryavaran Suraksha Samiti v. Union of
India’ dated February 22, 2017 had reaffirmed that setting up of Common Effluent Treatment

Plants should be taken up as an urgent mission and highlighted the issues, including lack of
financial resources and repairs, faced by CETPs.
The vision to establish and operate the CETP on Build, Own and Operate Model shall be
instrumental in overcoming the hurdles of lack of financial support, lack of technical support and
constant upgradation.
The multifaceted need and benefits of the proposed CETP would include:
Industries:
1. Industries lack adequate technical support to implement and operate a fully functional
environment management system. With CETP, industries can focus on core industrial
activities while ensuring management of hazardous effluent to specialists;
2. Industries often lack sufficient financial resources to fully install an Effluent Treatment
Plant furthermore have to bear the financial burden of human resource, operations, inputs
and repair. Thus, funds, both capital and operating, of industries are freed for investment
in primary business;
3. A proper Effluent Treatment Plant requires a sizable space for installation thereafter
additional space is needed to house the human resource, chemical storage and hazardous
sludge storage facilities. A CETP would free-up such space for expansion or process
activities in high real estate cost conditions;
4. The maintenance and handling of hazardous sludge on industrial premises is troublesome
for individual industries along with additional mechanisms required to dispose off
hazardous sludge. The entire burden of treatment of sludge and disposal of resultants
shifts to CETP operators;
5. Effluent treated in the CETP would be fit for reuse in industries thereby reducing the
burden on the scarce domestic and groundwater resources;
6. Achievement of Zero Liquid Discharge Norms involves installation of Ultrafiltration,
Reverse Osmosis, Triple Effect Evaporation, Boilers amongst other techniques which
posed financial and technical challenges for industries;
7. There is greater ease of doing business and reduced regulatory interferences in the
operations as critical environment management systems have been shifted;

8. Industries availing the services of Common Effluent Treatment, benefited by reduced

transportation cost due to close proximity;
9. On achievement of threshold limits of effluent, the cost of treatment may be reduced as
compared to the cost borne by individual industrial units.
Government and Regulators:
1. The monitoring of individual industrial units for compliance with treatment norms is
burdensome for regulatory agencies, the CETP offers singular point of monitoring of
treatment standards;
2. The monitoring of treatment standards is eased due to the installation of Online
Continuous Monitoring System (OCMS);
3. Hazardous sludge is available at a singular location for transportation and disposal;
4. Common Environment Infrastructure is lucrative for the upcoming industries and greater
interest and investment in the region is generated;
5. CETP remains in consonance with broader governmental goals and policies including
Invest in Punjab and Sustainable Development.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This study contains various information on Environmental factors viz-a-viz contribution of

pollution by the establishment of CETP unit. These factors include air, water, noise, health, socio-
economic, land use and agricultural pattern, etc. It discusses the predicted impact of the plant

2.3 NEED FOR PROJECT

District S.A.S Nagar (Mohali) adjoins the capital of the state of Punjab and houses over 6000
MSME Industries and over 60 Large Scale industrial units. There will be approximately 150
participant industries from Mohali, Chandigarh and other Industrial Focal Points of Mohali,
Derabassi, Nabha & Patiala. Cities of Mohali and Derabassi are the upcoming destinations for
numerous industries and remain home to the Mohali HiTech Metal Cluster and Advanced
Machining Tool Cluster. Thus, the district remains a vital source of industrial activity in the State.
However, the industrial units engaged in the process of metal surface finishing and polishing
including electroplating, chrome plating, metal polishing, cyanide washing and galvanizing
among others remain devoid of local Common Environmental Infrastructure. Therefore, the
industries engaged the services of the Common Effluent Treatment Plant in Ludhiana. The
distance between CETP in Ludhiana and Mohali is approximately One Hundred Kilometers (100
KM) thereby burdening the industries with high transportation costs. Furthermore, CETP in
Ludhiana was primarily established to cater to the needs of industries in and around Ludhiana
thus making the industries in Mohali an added burden upon the same.

The need for the Common Effluent Treatment Plant in closer vicinity was felt by the industries of
Mohali thus the Mohali Industries Association (hereinafter referred to as ‘MIA’) endeavored to
identify suitable organizations to undertake the proposed project. A Special Purpose Vehicle
(hereinafter referred to as ‘SPV’), Mohali Effluent Treatment Society was created by MIA to
identify suitable executing partners, capable of undertaking the financial and technical burden of
the proposed CETP. As such, Bansal EnviroTech was selected and after detailed negotiations, a
Letter of Intent was awarded to Bansal EnviroTech by MIA on 27.02.2019, bearing Letter No.

MIA-548/2019, highlighting the details of the operations. Furthermore, a tripartite agreement has
been signed between the Punjab Pollution Control Board, MIA and Bansal EnviroTech on
20.12.2019; copy of the same is enclosed as Annexure 2(c).

The industries of Chandigarh also remain devoid of suitable treatment mechanisms for effluent
generated by them, the industries seek to treat the hazardous effluent by establishing captive
Effluent Treatment Plants. Generally, captive effluent treatment plants offer limited treatment
capabilities and achievement of Zero Liquid Discharge remains becomes non-viable for such
units. The Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee, along with the industrial units of
Chandigarh, recognizes the need and importance of a Common Effluent Treatment Plant therefore
have extended ‘in principle agreement for treatment of effluent in the upcoming CETP’ vide
Letter No. CPCC/2019/190 dated 30.04.2019.

Therefore, it may conclude that the need for the proposed CETP has been observed by industrial
units and regulatory agencies alike. The CETP remains a viable alternative industrial unit engaged
in treatment of effluent, delivering to distant CETPs and those where there is absence of any form
of treatment. A Common Environment Management Facility like the proposed CETP shall serve
as a boon for the industrial climate in the region.

2.9.2 TECHNOLOGICAL ASPECTS

ETP has been designed to ensure that various parameters of treated wastewater are well below the
permissible limits, even under the varying flow conditions which are typical for such systems.

The major process steps along with salient technological aspects are described below:

2.9.2.1. Primary treatment

Main Channel for Effluent

The main collection channel will be lined by rubber lining in the underground RCC Tanks to
avoid the seepage of effluent into the ground. It is also valued for being abrasion-resistant for
RCC Tanks.

Screening and OGT

From the collection tank, the effluent will be pumped up to the ETP site where the effluent will be
first passed through a bar screen chamber provided with a perforated bar screens (Coarse and

fine) at the inlet point in the bar screen chamber for removal of floating materials. Removal of
floating/ coarse matter is essential otherwise it can choke piping/pumps/ etc. and hinder the
normal operation of the treatment plant. Bar screen shall be so designed that it can be cleaned
manually from outside the Tank.

Fig 2.1: Screening at ETP Inlet

From screen chamber, the effluent will be transferred to the Oil & Grease trap (OGT) by gravity.
Oil and Grease is designed to remove free floating oil & grease by the process of floatation and
for the removal of Bio-degradation of oil or to be periodically manually removed.

Batch Type Equalization Treatment

Batch type effluent equalization treatment will be done wherein; four equalization tanks will be
constructed. The overflow of (O&G) trap is collected into the effluent Equalization tanks. Firstly,
the effluent will be collected into one tank then, it will be aerated, neutralized and then will be
sent further for physiochemical treatment.
Once the treatment is occurring in the preceding tank, the succeeding equalization tank will be
filled up with the effluent for treatment. In this way the effluent will be equalized in bath wise.

Fig 2.2: Equalization Tank

Aeration in Equalization Tank

Effluent from the collection tank comes to the equalization tank in wastewater treatment. The
main function is to act as buffer. To collect the incoming raw effluent that comes at widely
fluctuating rates and position to the rest of the ETP at steady flow rate. Providing consistent flow
and loading to a biological process is important to maintain optimal treatment.

Aeration and mixing is provided both to keep the fluid from becoming anaerobic and smelly and
to biodegrade some of the organic compounds present. Benefits of aeration in the Equalization
Basin:
 Efficient aeration and mixing
 Simply balance flows during fluctuations
 Mix and aerate or just mix
Homogeneous mixture in Equalization Tank is done via the actions of coarse bubble diffusers,
oxygen transfer efficiency of a coarse bubble diffuser is 10%-20% and are capable of delivering 6
- 12 m3 / hour air, typical diameter of coarse bubble diffuser is 150 mm, coarse bubble diffuser is
shown below:

pH Neutralization in Equalization Tank

Neutralization of process water is a critical step in most industrial wastewater treatment

processes. A basic pH adjustment / neutralization is being done in this step.

Since the effluent has varying pH, chemical dosing i.e. acid and alkali will be done for
neutralizing the incoming effluent.

In this system, effluent will flow into the equalization tank where a pH sensor (also known as pH
electrode or pH probe) senses the pH of the solution. The sensor provides input to the pH
controller device which operates chemical pump(s) to inject acid or caustic as required to
neutralize the effluent. The aeration serves to evenly distribute the neutralizing chemicals
throughout the holding tank to ensure complete neutralization. From Equalization tank, effluent
will further undergo chemical treatment in flash mixer.
Neutralization of pH in the effluent will be fully automatic. The pH Control System will
automatically monitor and control the pH range.

Fig 2.4: Neutralization Process

Chromium Reduction in Equalization Tank

Various metal finishing processes such as chromium plating, chromating, bright dipping, chromic
acid anodizing and chromium stripping contribute to chromium in the wastewater. Although
chromium is present in both the trivalent (Cr+3) and hexavalent (Cr+6) state, the dominant species
is Cr+6. Unlike most heavy metals which are precipitated readily as insoluble hydroxides by pH
adjustment, Cr+6 must first be reduced to the trivalent state because it forms the chromate complex
which behaves as an anion and cannot form an insoluble hydroxide.

Conventional chromium reduction is achieved by reaction of Cr+6 with a reducing agent. The
most commonly used reducing agents are sulfur dioxide gas, Sodium Bisulfate and sodium
metabisulfite (dry granular power) i.e. SMBS. In the Equalization tank, sodium meta-bisulfate
will be added at pH 2- 2.5 and the whole of hexavalent chrome is converted into trivalent chrome.
In this way, chrome in the incoming effluent will be treated here by following reaction.

3NaHSO3 + 2H2 CrO4 >>> Cr2 (SO4)3 + 3NaHSO4 + 5H2O

The pH Control System will automatically monitor and control the pH range. The equalization
tank will be equipped with online displayed TDS and pH meter.

Safety of Equalization tank from seepage

The equalization RCC tank are also designed with protective layer of HDPE lining at bottom &
Rubber lining inside the tank to avoid the seepage into the ground if any as a safety measure. The
sectional drawing of the same is also shown as follows:

DAF: DISSOLVED AIR FLOATATION

DAF system is proposed before the physicochemical treatment in order to remove the Oil &
Grease to increase the efficiency of the system.

Working Principle: Contaminants are removed through the use of a dissolved air-in-water
solution produced by injecting air under pressure into a recycle stream of clarified DAF effluent.
This recycle stream is then combined and mixed with incoming wastewater in an internal contact
chamber where the dissolved air comes out of solution in the form of micron-sized bubbles that
attach to the contaminants. The bubbles and contaminants rise to the surface and form a floating
bed of material that is removed by a surface skimmer into an internal hopper for further handling.

2.9.2.2 PHYSIOCHEMICAL TREATMENT

Brief Introduction about the process
Physico-chemical treatment of wastewater focuses primarily on the separation of colloidal
particles. This is achieved through the addition of chemicals (called coagulants and flocculants).
These change the physical state of the colloids allowing them to remain in an indefinitely stable
form and therefore form into particles or flocs with settling properties. Physicochemical treatment
involves a set of processes which may be consecutively performed in a single unit or in separate
units. These processes are coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation.

Fig 2.7: Physiological Treatment

Milk of Lime Preparation

Firstly, in Lime Preparation Tank, milk of lime i.e. hydrated lime is formed. Lime is the most
widely used reagent in water treatment applications. It is supplied in two forms:
 Quick lime: CaO;
 Slaked (or hydrated) lime: Ca(OH)2.
In both cases, these reagents will contain between 4 and 20% of solid impurities (CaCO3, SiO2).
These impurities must be removed before the product is used.
Lime powder (CaO) will be added to Lime preparation tank gradually and mixing will be done by
agitator. From this tank, the milk of lime will be transferred to lime dosing tank by gravity. The
impurities remain settled at the bottom of the lime preparation tank from where these solids will
be drained off for disposal.
From Equalization Tank, the effluent will be pumped to flash mixer tank for further treatment.

Flash Mixer Tank

From lime dosing tank, the solution will be pumped to the flash mixer tank through dosing pumps
automatically to obtain a pH within a range of 9-10.
The metering pumps are positive displacement reciprocating pumps provided with stroke
adjustment mechanism to vary flow of liquid as per requirement. Accuracy of flow is controllable
within + 1%.
Effluent coming from Equalization tank is neutral in nature and in flash mixer tank, this effluent
is dosed with the milk of lime from lime dosing tank. This dosing increases the pH level of the
effluent upto 10 or 11 which results in chemical reaction with heavy metals ions.
As the pH reaches 11, then the dosing of lime will be automatically cut-off and poly dosing will
be started. When poly is added in the tank, the formed flocs get thickened. These flocs and the
chemicals are continuously getting mixed by variable speed (50-60 rpm) Agitator in Flash mixer
tank.
Coagulation
Coagulation process is integral to neutralizing the charges (usually negative) on the colloid
surfaces by addition of coagulant while rapidly mixing of waste water. Ferric chloride,
Aluminium poly-chloride, Ferric sulphate, Aluminium sulphate, iron poly-chloride and sodium
aluminate are some of the commonly used coagulants which are applied in varying doses
depending on quality of waste water. Coagulation and rapid mixing with short contact times helps
in destabilizing the colloid surfaces so they can clump together and thus conditioning them for
next step of flocculation.

Mechanism of Coagulation
In wastewater, colloidal particles, TSS will settle very slowly or not at all because the colloidal
particles carry surface electrical charges that mutually repel each other. This surface charge is
most commonly evaluated in terms of zeta potential, the electrical potential at the slipping plane.
To induce coagulation, a coagulant (typically a metallic salt) with the opposite charge is added to
the water to overcome the repulsive charge and "destabilize" the suspension. For example, the
colloidal particles are negatively charged and alum is added as a coagulant to create positively
charged ions. Once the repulsive charges have been neutralized (since opposite charges attract),
van der Waals force will cause the particles to cling together (agglomerate) and form micro flocs.
Flocculation
Process, wherein, the colloids come out of suspension in the form of flocs, either spontaneously
or due to the addition of a clarifying agent. Flocculation, a gentle mixing stage, increases the
particle size from submicroscopic microfloc to visible suspended particles. Floc size continues to
build with additional collisions and interaction with added inorganic polymers (coagulant) or
organic polymers. Macro flocs are formed and high molecular weight polymers, called coagulant
aids, may be added to help bridge, bind, and strengthen the floc, add weight, and increase settling
rate. Once floc has reached it optimum size and strength, water is ready for sedimentation. Design
contact times for flocculation range from 15 or 20 minutes to an hour or more, and flocculation
requires careful attention to the mixing velocity and amount of mix energy. To prevent floc from
tearing apart or shearing, the mixing velocity and energy are usually tapered off as the size of floc
increases. Once flocs are torn apart, it is difficult to get them to reform to their optimum size and
strength. The amount of operator control available in flocculation is highly dependent upon the
type and design of the equipment.

Polymers Addition for flocculation

Polymers (long-chained, high-molecular-weight, organic chemicals) are becoming more widely
used. These can be used as coagulant aids along with the regular inorganic coagulants. Anionic
(negatively charged) polymers are often used with metal coagulants. Low-to-medium weight
cationic (positively charged) polymers may be used alone, or in combination with alum or ferric
coagulants to attract suspended solids and neutralize their surface charge.
Polymers are effective over a wider pH range than inorganic coagulants. They can be applied at
lower doses, and do not consume alkalinity. They produce smaller volumes of more concentrated,
rapidly settling floc. Floc formed from use of a properly selected polymer will be more resistant
to shear, resulting in less carryover and a cleaner effluent.

Clari-flocculator Systems for Clarification

Clari-flocculator is proposed for the settlement of sludge which is a combination of flocculation
and clarification in a single tank. It has two concentric tanks where inner tank serves as a
flocculation basin and the outer tank serves as a clarifier.
In the Clari-flocculator, the water enters the flocculator, where the flocculating paddles enhance
flocculation of the feed solids. As heavy particles settle to the bottom, the liquid flows radially
upward in the clarifier zone. The clarified liquid is discharged over a peripheral weir into the
peripheral launder. The deposited sludge is raked to the bottom near the central weir from where
it is routed to the sludge chamber and discharged.

Polishing Treatment of Effluent

For the removal of additional suspended solids and pollutant from partially treated primary
effluent, effluent polishing is an effective treatment. In this process, the effluent is fed into an
aeration tank wherein air is being provided for further oxidation of mental ions and other
suspended solids.

In the aeration tank, all the effluent from primary clariflocculator will be oxidized to CO2 & H2O
by the aeration principle in aeration tank. Air is a very fast oxidizer--considerably faster than
chlorine. Air is a powerful oxidizer of both metals which quickly converts unfilterable metal ions
to filterable metal ions. Twin-Lobe Blowers for oxidation provides the aeration.

Air blowers
An air blower is a machine used for generating flow of air at substantial pressure. Primarily air
blower performs following functions:
a. Generating the specific quantity of air flow.
b. Build Pressure of generated air flow to accommodate for the pressure drop.
Working Principle of air blower
Blowers increase the pressure of the absorbed gas by a series of vortex motions formed by the
centrifugal movement of the impeller. When the impeller is rotating, the channels in the impeller
push the air forward by the centrifugal movement and a helical movement occurs. During this
movement, the gas is continuously compressed along the channel and the pressure increases
linearly. The pressurized air is transferred from the outlet duct of the blower to the installation to
be used.
Fine air Diffusers System
It comprises piping to diffusers and the diffusers. The diffuser elements will be membrane type
and resistant to ingredients such as hydrocarbons, oil and grease. This will provide a high oxygen
transfer rate coupled with a minimal pressure drop besides permitting simple erection onto the
horizontal air manifold.

Fig 2.8: Fine Air Bubble Diffusers

They will have minimal coupling / attachments to the air manifold and will have self-cleaning
properties while in action. The diffuser unit is made up of corrosion resistant material. The
membrane diffusers permit connection to the air manifolds of circular or square cross section.

2.9.2.3 Tertiary Treatment

Wastewater leaving the Secondary Clarifiers looks as clean as drinking water. Depending on
conditions, this water can go directly to the Disinfection process to produce recycled water, or it
can go the Filtration Building i.e. Pressure Sand Filter (PSF) and Activated Carbon Filter (ACF).
The purpose of tertiary treatment is to provide a final treatment stage to further improve the
effluent quality before it is discharged to the receiving environment (sea, river, lake, wet lands,
ground, etc.).
As the wastewater reaches the tertiary treatment stage, it still has residual suspended matter and
fine particulates. Further, it has a relatively high level of nutrients such as nitrogen and
phosphorus and has microbes and odor in it. During tertiary treatment process, different methods
are used to remove all these contaminants and properties from wastewater.
The final steps in tertiary wastewater treatment, before release into the environment, are removing
any undesirable microbes through the process of disinfection and also removal of odors from
wastewater. The clear and less cloudy nature of wastewater at this stage is critical for efficiency
and effectiveness of the disinfection process. Several disinfection agents can be used depending
on wastewater condition (pH, clarity etc.) and among them chlorine, ozone, ultraviolet (UV) light
are most common.
Filtration system
Filtration process removes the particulate matter by passing water through the porous media. The
filtration process consists of different types of media which are usually made up of sand, gravel,
and charcoal.
Pressure Sand Filter
The pressure sand filter (PSF) is used as a tertiary treatment unit to trap the trace amounts of
solids which escape the clarifier, and can typically handle up to 50 mg/l of solids in an
economical manner. This unit is essentially a pressure vessel that is filled with graded media
(sand and gravel).
Working of PSF
The upper layers of the sand perform the actual filtration function. The gravel layers merely
provide physical support to the upper sand layers. The sand used in the PSF is not ordinary

construction sand: It has particle size in a specific range, and is specially sieved for this purpose.
Here, the filtration occurs along the entire depth of the sand layer.

Fig 2.9: Pressure Sand Filter

The solid particles in the water get entrapped and enmeshed in the spaces between the sand
particles. Gradually, the space between sand particles gets filled with incoming solids. This
blocks the passage of water through the sand layer. As a result, the pressure at the outlet drops,
and wastes the pumping power, and reduces the throughput of the filter. When the pressure drops
beyond a limit, the sand is cleaned by backwashing of the filter (back flushing) with water, in
which water is passed in the reverse direction (from outlet to inlet). This process agitates,
fluidizes and expands the sand bed. The backwash water carries away the lighter pollutant solid
particles as backwash waste.
Activated Carbon Filter
An activated carbon filter, like the Pressure Sand Filter, is a tertiary treatment unit. It receives the
water that is already filtered by the Pressure Sand Filter and improves multiple quality parameters
of the water: BOD, COD, clarity (turbidity), color and odor.
Working of ACF
This filter uses the adsorption action of activated carbon. Activated carbon is typically
manufactured from coconut shell or charcoal, the “activation” process creating a highly porous

material with a very large surface area. Organic pollutant molecules are physically adsorbed and
held fast within the catacomb-like porous structure of the activated carbon. Granular activated
carbon is typically used for this purpose. The water filtered by the Pressure Sand Filter enters the
Activated Carbon Filter.

Fig 2.10: Activated Carbon Filter

Unlike in the case of the sand filter, trapped molecules in the carbon cannot be back washed and
got rid of. Hence, activated carbon in the filter has a finite capacity to adsorb and hold the
pollutants, after which the carbon is said to be exhausted. The exhausted material is removed from
the filter and disposed off. Fresh activated carbon is charged in the filter.

Backwash Process of Filters

With the continuous operation, these filters get clogged gradually. So, they require Backwash
treatment after every 7-8 hours to clean various clogged layers of fine sand, gravel, activated
carbon etc. which are present inside the PSF and ACF. Backwash is also necessary and required
whenever the required range of pressure difference increases in the filters

Disinfection
Disinfection is the process designed to kill or inactivate most microorganisms in wastewater,
including essentially all pathogenic organisms.

Ultra Violet System

UV Disinfection System is proposed in the CETP which is an extremely effective way to combat
microbial contamination in water. UV treatment for water is recognized as a safer and more cost-
effective way to disinfect water for industrial applications. In UV water disinfection technology,
Ultraviolet light of wavelength 253.7 nanometers is used for disinfection of bacteria, viruses,
molds, algae, and other microorganisms, which multiply and grow. UV disinfection technology
destroys the DNA of microorganisms which leaves them dead and unable to grow further. UV
disinfection technology can be used for drinking water disinfection, process water disinfection,
wastewater disinfection, and surface disinfection. Other than disinfection applications, this
technology can also be used for TOC removal and Ozone destruction.

Fig: 2.13: UV Disinfection

Working of UV Technology
In the UV water disinfection technology, the UV light disinfects by penetrating microorganisms
and destroying their DNA. DNA plays an important role in organisms’ functions and reproduction
hence destroying the DNA prevents the organism from being active and multiplying. This UV
energy (wavelength of 240-280 nm) is also naturally found in sunlight in very small quantities.
The same energy is produced in stronger intensities with the help of high mercury discharge
lamps, commonly known as UV lamps.

2.9.2.4 Ultra-Filtration (UF)

Brief Process Description

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which forces like pressure or
concentration gradients lead to a separation through a semipermeable membrane. Suspended
solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained in the so-called retentate, while water and
low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane in the permeate (filtrate). The main
separation mechanism of UF membrane filtration is size exclusion or sieving and the graphic
illustrates that UF effectively removes particles in the size range of less than 0.01 to 0.1 mm.
Effective removal of these contaminants in a source water results in a filtrate well suited for
further treatment by downstream reverse osmosis (RO). Ultrafiltration is applied in cross-flow or
dead-end mode.

Fig: 2.16: Dead End operation for UF Technology

Ultra Filtration systems are pressure-driven membrane operations that use porous membranes for
the removal of dissolved and colloidal material. These systems differ from Reverse Osmosis
Systems by relatively low driving pressures, usually under 1034 KN/m2. Numerous polymers,
including Poly (Ether Sulfone) (PES), Polysulfone (PSF), Poly (Vinylidene Difluoride) (PVDF),
and polyacrylonitrile (PAN), are commonly used for UF Plant. Ultra Filtration is normally used to
separate colloidal material and large molecules with molecular weights in excess of 5000 from
salts and low molecular weight materials, with pores of 0.001 to 0.1 micron. Turbidity is sharply
reduced by 99 %. UF is an excellent means to remove metal hydroxides, reducing the heavy metal
content to 1 ppm or less. UF permeate will be stored in the UF permeate tank.

Working& Principle of UF Plant

 The basic operating principle of ultra-filtration uses a pressure induced separation of
solutes from a solvent through a semi permeable membrane.
 Ultrafiltration (UF) is a type of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a
liquid against a semi permeable membrane. A semi permeable membrane is a thin layer of
material capable of separating substances when a driving force is applied across the
membrane. Once considered a viable technology only for desalination, membrane
processes are increasingly employed for removal of bacteria and other microorganisms,
particulate material, and natural organic material, which can impart color, tastes, and odors

to the water and react with disinfectants to form disinfection byproducts (DBP). As
advancements are made in membrane production and module design, capital and operating
costs continue to decline.

Ultrafiltration uses hollow fibers of membrane material and the feed water flows either inside the
shell, or in the lumen of the fibers.

Fig 2.17: Filtration through hollow fiber UF

Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low
molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. This separation process is used in industry
and research for purifying and concentrating the particles having molecular weight (103 - 106
Dalton), especially protein solutions. When strategically combined with other purification
technologies in a complete water system, UF is ideal for the removal of colloids, proteins,
bacteria, pyrogens, proteins, and macromolecules larger than the membrane pore size from water.
The primary removal mechanism is size exclusion, though surface chemistry of the particles or
the membrane may affect the purification efficiency. UF can be used as pretreatment for reverse
osmosis systems or as a final filtration stage for deionized water.

Benefits of UF Plant
 Low fouling membrane modules
 Excellent filtration performance with high flux
 High chemical resistance and temperature tolerance for effective membrane cleaning
 Very fine nominal pore diameter (0.02 µm)
 High removal efficiency of bacteria & viruses
 Dead-end or concentrate bleed flow capabilities
 Can be periodically back washed and air scoured to improve performance and extend
operating life by removing the fouling layer
 Simple, vertical, modular design allows low cost, compact systems
 UF Outside-In or Inside-Out Configuration allows for less plugging and higher solids
loading, higher flow area and easier cleaning.
Membrane Fouling
Despite the enormous applications of MF and UF membranes in various fields, their permeability
and selectivity deteriorates over time because of an accumulation of solids, suspended particles,
colloids, and bacteria on the membrane surface and within the membrane pores; this is known
as membrane fouling. Fouling is the deposition of retained particles, colloids, macromolecules,
salts, biomolecules, and so on the membrane surface or inside the pore at the pore wall. Fouling
reduces the membrane flux either temporarily or permanently.
The main mechanisms of fouling are:
(1) Adsorption of partially rejected matter within the membrane pores (pore constriction).
(2) Plugging of individual pores by particles similar in size to the pores (pore blocking).
(3) Accumulation of completely rejected particulate matter on top of the membrane surface also
(cake formation).
Several pretreatment methods for preventing UF membrane fouling include coagulation, sand
treatment, flocculation, chemical treatment, adsorption, and ozone oxidation

enhance the recovery rate through the RO Membranes provided at the downstream in RO System.
Once the effluent is collected in the UF feed tank, it is pumped to micron filter is paced before UF
module to remove any micron solids of size 5 micron to 10 microns. After passing to micron
filters, the effluent is fed to UF modules.
Due to very fine suspended solids present in the raw water, UF feed system gets clogged over a
period of time and needs cleaning / backwashing periodically. When the Trans Membrane
Pressure (TMP) across the UF membrane modules gets increased to a predetermined set point,
backwashing through the backwash pumps will take place manually. Cleaning of the membrane
in the UF system will be required periodically with the chemicals i.e., Sodium Hypo Chloride and
Hydrochloric Acid, having high and low pH to remove the biological growth retained over the UF
membrane. After that, the UF permeate will be stored in the storage tank. Backwash will be done
by withdrawing water from the Permeate Storage Tank.
Also, this storage tank will be used to feed the Reverse Osmosis (RO) Plant.

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a special type of filtration that uses a semi-permeable, thin membrane
with pores small enough to pass pure water through while rejecting larger molecules such as
dissolved salts (ions) and other impurities such as bacteria. Reverse osmosis is used to produce
highly purified water for drinking water systems, industrial boilers, food and beverage processing,
cosmetics, pharmaceutical production, seawater desalination, and many other applications. It has
been a recognized technology for more than a century and commercialized since the 1960’s.

Semi- Permeable Menbrane for RO Plant

The membranes used for reverse osmosis systems have a dense polymer barrier layer in which
separation takes place. A reverse osmosis system is built around its individual membranes. Each
membrane is a spiral wound sheet of semi-permeable material. Membranes are available in 2-
inch, 4-inch, and 8-inch diameter with the 4- and 8-inch diameter sizes most commonly used in
industry. The industry has accepted a 40-inch length as a standard size so that membranes from
different manufacturers are interchangeable in equipment systems. One of the primary
measurements of a membrane is its square footage. Membranes are available in the range of 350-
450 square feet of surface area.

Fig 2.21: RO Membrane

Working & Principle

It is the process by which water molecules are forced through a 0.0001 micron semi-permeable
membrane by water pressure. Reverse Osmosis works by using a high pressure pump to increase
the pressure on the salt side of the RO and force the water across the semi-permeable RO
membrane, leaving almost all (around 95% to 99%) of dissolved salts behind in the reject stream.
The amount of pressure required depends on the salt concentration of the feed water. As the feed
water enters the RO membrane under pressure (enough pressure to overcome osmotic pressure)
the water molecules pass through the semi-permeable membrane and the salts and other
contaminants are not allowed to pass and are discharged through the reject stream (also known as
the concentrate or brine stream), which goes to drain or can be fed back into the feed water supply
in some circumstances to be recycled through the RO system to save water. The water that makes
it through the RO membrane is called permeate or product water and usually has around 95% to
99% of the dissolved salts removed from it.

Fig 2.22: Working Principle of RO Plant

For the membrane to be usable it must be in some type of container (membrane housing) so
pressure can be maintained on its surface. It is this pressure that supplies the energy to force the
water through the membrane, separating it from unwanted substances.

2.9.2.7 RO System for CETP

The effluent from UF Permeate Tank will be pumped to the Micron Filter (MF) by RO feed pump
wherein, the suspended impurities greater than 10 & 5 micron is filtered so as to ensure that
membranes are not clogged. The water from MF will be passed to RO System. The scaling
tendency of feed water in RO membrane could be removed by dosing of antiscalent (Silica
inhibitor) in water.
The water then shall enter the RO membrane Housing at high pressure through a high-pressure
pump. Instruments like Rota meter are provided online at the downstream level to measure the
quality & quantity of treated water. The RO permeate shall be stored in a RO Permeate Water
Storage Tank from where, it will be used in the process again. RO reject will be stored in RO
Reject Tank from where it will be sent to evaporator for further processing.

2.9.2.8 Multieffect Evaporator

A multiple-effect evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate
water. In a multiple-effect evaporator, water is boiled in a sequence of vessels, each held at a
lower pressure than the last. A multiple-effect evaporator uses the water vapor from one effect as
the heating medium for the next effect which operates at a lower boiling point. The latent heat in

water vapor can also be reused by thermally or mechanically compressing the vapor to a higher
pressure and temperature. It combines two or more evaporator bodies to conserve steam, which is
condensed in the first-effect heat exchanger only. Water evaporated in the first-effect vapor body
is condensed in the second-effect heat exchanger, which provides energy for evaporation in the
second-effect vapor body (and so on for additional effects). Vapor from the last effect flows to a
condenser. Evaporator bodies are typically operated under vacuum to reduce the temperature of
boiling.

Falling Film Evaporator

In a falling film evaporator, the liquid is fed at the top of the tubes in a vertical tube bundle. The
liquid is allowed to flow down through the inner wall of the tubes as a film. As the liquid travels
down the tubes the solvent vaporizes and the concentration gradually increases. Vapor and liquid

are usually separated at the bottom of the tubes and the thick liquor is taken out. Evaporator liquid
is recirculated through the tubes by a pump below the vapor-liquid separator. The distribution of
liquid in the inner wall of the tubes greatly affects the performance of this type of evaporator. The
falling film evaporator is largely used for concentration of fruit juices and heat sensitive materials
because of the low holdup time. The device is suitable for scale forming solutions as boiling occur
on the surface of the film.

and thus reducing considerably energy consumption. The first effect is heated directly and next
effects are heated by vapors from the previous effects. The last effect process vapors are

condensed on a heat sink. Heating is archived commonly with live steam, but can also be done
with a heat transfer fluid such as thermal oil or a molten salt etc.
Steam is supplied into the steam compartment. Feed enters the top of the tube. The temperature of
the boiling liquid is same as that of the vapor head. The feed flows down the walls of the tubes.
The liquid gets heated rapidly. The liquid boils and becomes vapor which forms smaller bubbles.
These tend to fuse to form layers of bubbles, which travels down the tubes. Concentration takes
place during this down wards journey. Vapor and liquids are separated in the cyclone separator.

In a falling film evaporator, feed enters from the top and flow the walls of the tubes. In the head,
the product is evenly distributed into the heating tubes. The liquid enters the heating tube and
forms a thin film on the tube wall where it flows downwards at boiling temperature and is
partially evaporated by getting heated rapidly due to heat transfer steam. The liquid boils and
becomes vapor which forms the small bubbles. The product and the vapor both flow downwards
in a parallel flow. This gravity-induced downward movement is increasingly augmented by the
co-current vapor flow. Concentration takes places during this down wards journey. Vapor and

2.9.2.9 MEE for CETP

RO reject contains a lot amount of salt that's the reason it has been called as hyper saline
wastewater since the chemical added in the process are removed at treatment steps except the salts
in form of dissolved solids. The feed parameters of RO reject affect the efficiency of evaporator.
Reject from reverse osmosis system is stored in balance tank and pumped to the falling film
evaporators (first and second effects) through the tubes of the first calendrias, where heat is
added. The vapor from first falling film effect is separated and sends to the second falling film
effect and so on in order boil the effluent. The vapor leaving from the last effect is condensed in
the condenser and the supersaturated liquid flows down the down flow tube.
The leaving vapors are condensed and then can be stored in separate collection tank from where;
it will be reused for various purposes.
The concentrates remained after each calendrias is then collected into a separate tank called
concentrate collection tank. From this tank, the concentrate is sent to Agitated thin film dryer for
drying purposes.

2.9.2.10 Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD)

ATFD is a suitable solution for all types of drying applications. For evaporators, ATFD is a stand
to convert concentrated liquid to dry powder or flakes. ATFD is used for dry salt recovery
through evaporation of highly concentrated mother liquor (from chillers & centrifuges).

Working Principle of ATFD

ATFD consist of cylindrical body with heating jacket around it and a bladed rotor inside the shell
having conical shape at bottom. These blades are all over the length of dryer and spread the wet
concentrate in a thin film over the surface of heated wall inside the shell. As the heat is transferred
to the shell by steam, all the concentrate gets dried leaving the solids at bottom. An outlet vent is
also provided to pass out the condensed steam.
Key benefits/advantages of Agitated Thin Film Dryer
 Reduced time for Evaporation when compared to solar evaporation pans
 Solar pans can be gradually eliminated after installation of ATFD.
 Condensate with reusable quality can be recovered from the ATFD system and the same
can be reused in the process.
 Manual handling of waste salt can be totally eliminated and minimum manpower is
sufficient to bag the salt, instead of engaging huge manpower for cleaning of waste salt
from the solar pans.

 During rainy seasons overflowing of solar pans can be avoided by operating ATFD system
and waste salt can be recovered as dry salt and shall be bagged & stored in yard. Hence,
units and CETPs shall be operated continuously without any stoppage during rainy
seasons.
 Lower foot print area for installation as compared with solar pans.
 Ground water contamination by seepage/leakages from the solar can be avoided by
elimination the solar pans.

2.9.2.11 Boiler
HSD Based non IBR boiler is considered of capacity approx. 650 kg / Hr @ 7 kg Pressure.

 Working Principle
Steam boiler is a cylindrical shape closed vessel which has sufficient capacity to contain
water and steam. Generally, water or alternative fluid is stored in steam boiler to generate
steam. That water or fluid is heated by flames or hot gasses which are produced by
combustion of fuels and consequently steam is generated in the boiler at different pressure
according to Steam boiler's size and its specification. That steam is now passed through a
pipe and supplied into different production unit, power plant etc.

Advantages of Boiler:

 Fluctuation of steam demand can be met easily.

 Larger heating surface can be achieved by using more

numbers of water tubes

 Very high pressure in order of 140 kg/cm2 can be

obtained smoothly

 Due to convectional flow, movement of water is much

faster.

 And rate of heat transfer is high & its efficiency is

high.

Client: M/s Bansal EnviroTech Pvt. Ltd. Final EIA Report
Location: PSIEC Industrial Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali), Distt SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab Chapter 2

 Working Principle
The evaporation process only takes place on the surface of a liquid and needs latent heat of
vaporization to happen. Sensible heat is drawn from the body of the water to the surface to supply
the energy needed for the latent heat. It can be seen that for a little evaporation a lot of sensible
heat will be needed therefore the main body of the circulating water is cooled for very little loss of
water. Warm to hot water from the cooling process is pumped to the top of the cooling tower and
into the sprays where the water is broken up into droplets and distributed over the Fill. The water
droplet spreads out as it slides down the Fill creating the surface area necessary for evaporation.
The evaporation rate of the water is restricted by the amount of moisture already in the air around
it. To maintain evaporation, the moistened air must be replaced with dry air, usually by fans
blowing air through the tower.

2.9.2.13 Sludge Handling System

Brief Process Description

Sludge dewatering is the separation of a liquid and solid phase whereby, generally, the least
possible residual moisture is required in the solid phase and the lowest possible solid particle
residues are required in the separated liquid phase ("the filtrate").

During the course of the water treatment, products coming from the pollution are extracted while
the treated water is released in the environment. Amongst these products coming from the
pollution one can distinguish:

Particles that decant naturally or that come from the physico-chemical treatment. Excess micro-
organisms coming from the dissolved organic matter treatment Mineral matter that is non
biodegradable All these products are suspended in more or less concentrated forms and the
resulting liquid is called Sludge. The quantity of sludge generated depends upon the degree of
treatment or quality of treated effluent required i.e., higher the degree of wastewater treatment, the
larger the quantity of sludge to be treated and handled.

Type of sludge:

Primary sludge: Generates from the primary or physio-chemical Process.

Client: M/s Bansal EnviroTech Pvt. Ltd. Final EIA Report
Location: PSIEC Industrial Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali), Distt SAS Nagar (Mohali), Punjab Chapter 2

Biological Sludge: Generates from the biological treatment of wastewater.

The water content of the sludge is very high, and solids constitute very small part of it. Therefore,
before final disposal further treatment is required for this sludge to reduce water content.

Sludge Dewatering

The purpose of sludge dewatering is for waste minimization and to achieve overall cost efficiency
for disposal. Sludge dewatering is typically focused on reducing the weight and volume of
the sludge so that disposal costs - including transportation - are kept to a minimum. The choice of
a sludge treatment method is dependent on several factors including the characteristics, volume,
timing and the available disposal options. Various technologies are being used for sludge
dewatering purpose.

From the settling tanks, settled Chemical sludge, which is inorganic in nature, will be transferred
to the sludge holding tank. Here, Poly will be dosed to thicken the sludge and this thickened
sludge will be sent to the Volute. The dewatered water from the volute will be again sent to the
Equalization Tank & Dried sludge will be stored & disposed to TSDF Site.
Volute
The Volute dewatering press offers both sludge thickening and dewatering in one machine.
Suitable for industrial sludge, primary and secondary treatment sludge, aerobic and anaerobic bio
solids, digestate dewatering and oily sludge thanks to its self-cleaning moving ring mechanism
that prevents clogging.
The Volute is a horizontal continuous operation screw that is designed for dewatering/ solid-
liquid separation for a wide range of influent, effluent, other products. Volute is structured with a
filter element that consists of two types of Rings: Fixed Ring and a Moving Ring along with a
screw that thrusts the filter element & transfer and pressurizes the sludge. The gaps between the
Rings and the screw pitch are designed to gradually get narrower towards the direction of sludge
cake outlet and the inner pressure of the filter element increases due to the volume compression
effect which thickens and dewaters the sludge.

Working of Volute
Sludge is fed into a mixing tank or screw head where polymer is thoroughly mixed in. The sludge
then passes through a flocculation tank where gentle mixing and flocculation occurs. From there,
the sludge overflows into the dewatering drum and is pressed. The Volute is equipped with
separate main drive and cone motors for independent control of speed and retention time within
the press. The entire operation is controlled by the Volute Dewatering Press control panel. The
final solids are later dried to produce briquettes/sludge. Liquid is extracted from three areas of the
Volute to maximize output and recovery. Free liquid is drained immediately to reduce the
imposed hydraulic load.

Benefits of Volute
 Clog free & good for oily sludge.
 Reduces sludge volume which cuts down the transport and disposal costs.
 Continuous & easy operation
 Compact, modular design saves space
 Minimal maintenance (only 2 – 3%) & Easy automation
 Minimal alignment and wear issues
 Low power consumption (5% of a Centrifuge)
 OH & S benefits
 Low noise & Low odor – may be contained (along with harmful vapors)
 Minimal exposed moving parts,
 Easy to install

Fig 2.27: Volute Working Principle

Operation and Maintenance of Volute

The Volute Dewatering Press requires very little operator attention, other than periodic inspection
and chemical replenishment. As a fully automated process, it controls the operation of wasting
sludge directly from the biological process or clarifier, chemical make-up and dosing,
flocculation, and then dewatering. Depending on operating conditions, a partial overhaul of the
dewatering drums may be required every three years. This two-hour operation is undertaken in the
field, with minimal disruption to plant operation.

3.3 COMPONENTS & METHODOLOGY

The data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. The baseline information on
ambient air quality, water quality, noise levels, soil quality and floristic descriptions are largely
drawn from the data generated by M/s Shivalik Solid Waste Management Ltd and M/s Eco
Laboratories & Consultants Pvt. Ltd., NABL and MoEF &CC Accredited Lab. Climatological
data was collected from IMD station, Chandigarh. Apart from these, secondary data have been
collected from Census Handbook, Revenue Records, Statistical Department, Soil Survey and
Land use Organization, District Industries Centre, Forest Department, Central Ground Water
Authority etc.
The studies involved conducting field studies and analyzing various parameters that might be
affected due to the industry and conducting socio-economic survey among the people. During
reconnaissance survey, the sampling locations were identified based on:
 Existing topography and meteorological conditions.
 Locations of water intake and waste disposal points.
 Location of human habilitation and other sensitive areas present in the vicinity of the
project location.
 Representative areas for baseline conditions.
 Accessibility for sampling

of the primary data. Various Government and other organizations were approached for getting
information for the secondary data. The various parameters surveyed and studied for the baseline
study are discussed in the following components:
 Physical environment
 Air environment
 Noise environment
 Land environment
 Water environment
 Biological environment
 Socio-economic environment

3.4 METEOROLOGICAL DATA

Climate has an important role in the build-up of pollution levels. The climatic condition of the
study area is sub-tropical continental monsoon climate characterized by a seasonal rhythm: hot
summers, slightly cold winters, unreliable rainfall. Winter is critical for air pollution build-up
because of frequent calm conditions with temperature inversions resulting in poor atmospheric
mixing, natural ventilation and high emission loads.

3.4.1 CLIMATE
SAS Nagar has a sub-tropical continental monsoon climate characterized by a seasonal rhythm:
hot summers, slightly cold winters, unreliable rainfall and great variation in temperature (1°C to
44°C). In winter, dew occurs during December and January. The normal annual rainfall of the
district is 1061 mm which is unevenly distributed over the area in 49 days. The South-West
monsoon contributes about 80% of annual rainfall. The city also receives occasional winter rains
from the West.

During monsoon season, skies are overcast with moderate to heavy clouds. During rest of the
year, the sky is mostly clear. It is lightly clouded occasionally during winter season.

3.4.6 WIND SPEED & DIRECTION

Wind speed and wind direction have a significant role in the dispersion of atmospheric pollutants
and therefore, in the air quality of the area. Ground level concentrations for the pollutants are
inversely proportional to the wind speed in the down wind direction, while in the upwind
direction no effect will be observed and in cross wind directions, partial effect due to the
emission sources is observed.

Emissions from each activity vary from one another greatly with respect to characteristics and
quantity of emissions; controlling factors. A representative sample of input data is shown in
Table 3.5 below:

The average SO2 levels at various monitoring stations ranged from 3.8 to 6.3 µg/m3. The
average SO2 levels at project site is 13.5 µg/m3. It would be seen that the SO2 levels are
quite low in the area. The average value for SO2 around the project location has been
determined as 5.3 µg/m3. SO2 levels are quite low in the study area against 24 hours
average permissible limits of 80µg/m3 and the air quality in respect to SO2 is good and
comfortable.

3.5.5.4 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)

The average NO2 concentration in the study area varied from 8.9 to 15.7 µg/m3. The
average NO2 levels at project site is 28.5 µg/m3. The average value around the project site
remained as 12.2 µg/m3 during this period. It would be seen that the NO2 levels are quite low
in the study area in respect to 24 hours average permissible limits of 80µg/m3. The situation
in the study area as far as NO2 concentration as concerned is good and comfortable.

3.5.5.5 Conclusion
The Ambient Air Quality Monitoring in the study area shows that:
i) Mass levels of particulate dust as PM10 & PM2.5 were less than 24 hours average
NAAQ standards of 100 µg/m3 and 60 µg/m3 respectively.
ii) The mass levels of SO2 and NO2 are much below the desired limits of 80µg/m3
indicates good air quality.
iii) Mass levels CO were reported as less than 1 mg/m3 whereas other gases such as
ammonia (NH3) and ozone (O3) were reported as safer zone in respect to their
NAAQ standards.
iv) Mass levels of particulate metals as Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As) and Nickel (Ni) are
reported as traces or below detection levels which indicates safe environment.
v) Mass levels of hydrocarbons as Benzene, Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) were also reported
as below detection levels which indicates safe environment with no health hazards.

level monitoring has been carried out once during November’2018 – January’ 2019. Day and
night time Leq values have then been computed from the hourly Leq values. Day time &
Night time Leq have been computed from the hourly Leq values between 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. &
between 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. respectively. Ambient noise levels were measured using integrated
sound level meter at 8 locations around the project located within the study area and at 5
locations within the project site. (Fig. 3.7).
The acoustical environment varies dynamically in magnitude and character throughout most
communities. The noise level variation can be temporal, spectral and spatial. The maximum
impact of noise is felt in urban areas which are mostly due to the commercial activities and
vehicular movement during peak hours of the day.
From environment point of view, higher noise levels may affect health of human beings
and disturbance to animals if they are close to the noise generating sources. Measurement of
noise levels in the study area at several locations has been carried out to determine the
existing noise levels to subsequently superimpose increment in noise levels.

3.6.1 AMBIENT STANDARDS IN RESPECT OF NOISE

3.7.2 SOIL
SAS Nagar district is occupied by Quaternary Alluvial deposits belonging to the vast Indo-
Gangetic alluvial plains, which forms the main aquifer system. The area can be broadly
grouped into two depending upon its geomorphic features as alluvial fan and alluvial plains.
Alluvial fans are deposited by hill torrents with a wavy plain rather than a steep slope.
Adjacent to the alluvial fan are the alluvial plains which forms a part of large Indo-Gangetic
Quaternary basin comprising of thick sand and silty sand layers inter bedded with silt and
clay beds. The alluvial plains are of vital economic value as it supports the dense population
of the district. The soil is mainly developed on alluvium under the dominant influence of
climate followed by topography and time. The major soil type of the district is weakly
solonized tropical arid brown soil.

3.7.3 SOIL QUALITY

The information on soil has been collected from various secondary sources and also through
primary soil sampling analysis of which is described in this section. For studying the soil
profile of the region, soil samples were collected from project site and 8 locations around the
project to assess the existing soil conditions within the study area representing various land
uses. The sampling locations have been finalized with the following objectives:

 To determine the base line characteristics

 To determine the soil characteristics of project location.
 To determine the impact of industrialization/urbanization on soil characteristics
 To determine the impacts on soil from agricultural productivity point of view.

3.7.4 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Soil is generally considered as the upper layer of the earth that is dug or ploughed,
especially the loose material in which plants grow. It is generally unconsolidated material
composed of soil particles produced by disintegration of rocks. The void spaces between
the particles may contain air, water or both. Physical characteristics of soil influence its use
and behavior towards plants growth. The plant support, root penetration, drainage, aeration,
retention of moisture & plant nutrients is linked with the physical condition of soil.
Normally following physical parameters are important for determining the quality of soil:
(i) Soil Texture
Soil texture determined by percentage of sand, silt and clay is the important soil
characteristic influencing soil quality. Sand particles are relatively large, silt particles are
medium-sized and clay particles are very tiny in size. Clay and silt soil holds more water and
plant nutrients than the sand. Soil is classified as four major textural classes: 1) sand; 2) silt;
3) clay and 4) loam based on the proportion of particle sizes.

(ii) Porosity
Volume of soil mass that is not occupied by soil particles and usually occupied by air &
water are known as pore space. The plant roots grow & exist in the pore spaces. Porosity
therefore, refers to that percentage of soil volume which is occupied by pore spaces. Porosity
of soil at project location is 39%.

(iii) Bulk Density

The bulk density weight of a unit of volume of soil inclusive of pore spaces is called bulk

density. Average bulk density of soil 1.58 gm/cc in the study areas as low indicates
favorable physical conditions.

(iv) Water holding capacity

Water holding capacity is the amount of water retained by soil to make available for crops
which is determined by soil texture and available pore spaces in soil. Water holding capacity
of soil at project location is 22.5%. Clay and silty soil tend to have higher water holding
capacity whereas sandy soils have lower water holding capacity.
(v) Soil fertility
Soil fertility is the ability of a soil to provide the nutrients needed by crop plants to grow

3.7.5 CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Locations of soil monitoring stations are shown in Fig. 3.10. & Table 3.11. Chemical
characteristics of soil observed in the study area are given in Table 3.12(a) and at
project location in Table 3.12 (b).

Soil pH
Soil pH is another aspect of soil fertility after nutrients. Most of crops grow best in the pH
range of 6.2 to 6.8 as plant roots can best absorb most nutrients from the soil in this range.
Soil pH varied from 7.36 to 8.06 & alkaline in nature.

Organic matter
Organic matter in the soil of study area varies from 0.22% to 0.72% with average 0.55%.
Organic matter comprising of plant and animal residues, decomposed materials, living and
dead soil microorganisms is only in small proportion (usually less than 5%) for a good soil
quality and tends to improve soil structure, soil fertility and soil biological activity.

Nutrient value
Potassium varies from 146 kg/Ha to 188 kg/Ha with average of 158.2 Kg/Ha whereas
Sodium value at the project site is 364 mg/kg.

phreatic conditions in the shallow aquifers while leaky confined to confine conditions occur
along the deeper aquifers of Quaternary alluvial deposits.

In major part of the district, the water level ranges between 5 and 10 m while, the water level in
the North-western and Eastern part is between 10 to 20 m, in the extreme western part of the
district water levels are around 30 m. In the Southern part of the district water level ranges from
2 to 5 m. Seasonal fluctuation shows that, in general, there is an overall decline in the water level
except few isolated patches.

Ghaggar river and its tributaries form the natural drainage system on Derabassi block of the
district. While North-Eastern part is drained by Siswan Nadi, Jainti Devi Ki Rao and Patiali Rao,
which emerge from the Siwalik Hills. The Siswan Nadi drains the Northern part of the district
and finally converges with Sutlej River in the Ropar district. While Jainti Devi Ki Rao and
Patiali Rao drains in NE-SW direction and joins the Ghaggar River.

3.8.2 WATER LEVEL BEHAVIOR

Depth to water level in the SAS Nagar ranges from 2.14 to 32.24m bgl during pre-monsoon
period and between 2.61 to 33.37m bgl during post-monsoon period. Seasonal fluctuations (pre
& post) in the district ranges from -1.03 to 3.67 meters. The long-term trend of water level (2002
to 2011) also shows that there is decline in water level on major part of the area ranging from
0.16 to 0.35 m/yr except a few isolated patches where there is rise at the rate 0.02 to 0.06 m/yr
which is insignificant.

3.8.3 GROUND WATER RESOURCES

Ground water resource potential of the district has been assessed as per Groundwater Resource
Estimation Methodology (GEC-97) as on 31.03.09 by considering administrative block as the
assessment unit. The Net Annual Ground Water Availability of the district is 27,514 ham,
existing ground water draft for all uses is 28,005 ham. Provision for domestic and industrial
requirement supply to 2025 years is 5,455 ham. Net ground water availability for future
irrigation development is -1379 ham. The stage of groundwater development for the district is
102%. However, the stage of groundwater development in Kharar block is 100% and falls under
Over Exploited category. In Kharar block, agriculture draft decreased, but industrial & domestic

3.8.4 STATUS OF GROUND WATER DEVELOPMENT

The ground water in the district is slightly alkaline in nature with medium to high salinity. The
pH values ranges from 7.38 to 8.08. Chloride, nitrate & fluoride are the important parameters
that are normally considered for evaluating the suitability of ground water for drinking uses and
it is found that the ground water in the district is suitable for domestic use as all cations and
anions are within the permissible limits as per BIS 10500-1991 standard. Iron which is an
essential plant and animal nutrient is found to be within permissible limit except in some parts of
the district. Arsenic is below permissible limits in whole of the district.

Salinity (EC), sodium absorption ration (SAR) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) are the
basic parameters considered for ascertaining the suitability of ground water. The chemical data
indicates that most of water fall in C2S1category in USSL plot and is suitable for irrigation
purpose.

Drainage map within 10 km of study area is shown below in Fig. 3.11.

3.8.8 Conclusion
All the above parameters at the various locations in the study area are within permissible and
tolerable limits. In the study area, since the samples have been collected from different sites
at isolated places, the level of concentration and different elements vary quite considerably
which may be due to small aquifers. However, the levels of the various components are
within acceptable/ permissible norms for drinking water.

3.9 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

A natural ecosystem is a structural and functional unit of nature. It has different biological and
physical components, which are interrelated to each other and survive by interdependence. An
ecosystem has self-sustaining ability and controls the number of organisms at any level by
cybernetic rules. The basic purpose to explore the biological environment under
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to assist the decision making process and to
ensure that the project options under consideration are environmental-friendly. An ecological
survey of the study area was conducted, particularly with reference to listing of species and
assessment of the existing baseline ecological conditions in the study area. The main
objectives of the ecological survey were aimed at assessing the existing flora and fauna
components in the study area, to understand the possible impacts on the biological
environment caused by the project activities and to formulate if necessary the appropriate
mitigation/preventive measures for such impacts. Data has been collected through secondary
sources and by site visit. The present study was carried out in two separate headings for floral
and faunal community.

3.9.1 SAMPLING
For field assessment, i.e., primary data collection, a standard statistical sampling method was
followed. The sampling design followed random sampling method. The sampling area was
decided based on prior land-use map of the project influence zone (within the 10 km radius
around the project area), outlining forest areas and other types of habitats, topographic
features and build-up area.
The project is located in industrial zone which is being surrounded by many industrial units
there are no eco-sensitive zones and heritage areas within 500 m radius of plant premises or
any Schedule I and II species.

There are many green area patches allocated within the premises of the PSIEC, to provide
green spaces, green buffer support, bio-accumulative capacity, mitigation of heat Island effect
to ensure survival of the local ecosystem. The green belt will be provided along the boundary
wall of the project to ensure control of air pollution and odour issues.

However, there is no Protected Forest within 10 km study area. Also, there is no National
Sanctuary, wetlands or Reserved Forests within the 10 km radius of the project location as per
the Environment Protection Act 1986, The Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and Indian
Forest Act, 1927.
As per the layout of PSIEC there are green parks and spaces to cater the need of greenery and
landscaping of the project. However, as the project is being established in a project site
already developed. Thus, CETP project to be established is not impacting any virgin
ecological area but is being established under a brownfield project.

Mammals (Mammalia): Palm squirrel, Hare, Rat, Mice, Bat are encountered in the area.
Reptiles (Lizards, Snakes, Turtles, etc.): Wall lizard and Rat snake are present in the area.
Aquatic faunal diversity: The area is devoid of major water-bodies, thus may not support a
considerable aquatic faunal diversity.

3.9.4 CONCLUSION
The faunal and floral diversity observed during the field survey does not claim considerable
attention as most of the species observed are common throughout the region and no Rare,
Endangered and Threatened species or endemic species were present. As the CETP project is
being established in the already operation and commissioned project of PSIEC, thus, there is
no indigenous flora and fauna to be impacted, disturbed or diminished because of the
upcoming project of CETP. The land identified for establishment of CETP. The land identified
for establishment of CETP is primarily a barren land allocated for the construction of the
project as per the approved layout plan of PSIEC. The area also does not possess the capacity
to support such ecologically important species and their conservation. The impact of the
project activities thus is understood to be negligible on the biological environment which is
already disturbed and diminished because of previous industrial activities. As a measure to

minimize the prevailing and forthcoming environmental impacts due to industrial pollution
and activities, it is advisable to increase green areas through plantations in the available land
so that the local faunal and floral biodiversity may increase.

CHAPTER 4
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION
MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental impact in the study area is any alteration of environmental conditions or
creation of new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the
impacts of project. Prediction involving identification and assessment of potential impacts of
the project on surrounding environment is a significant component of EIA studies. The likely
impacts of various activities of the project on the environment were identified. These impacts
were assessed for their significance based on the background environmental quality in the area
and magnitude of the impact. All components of the environment are considered and wherever
possible impacts are evaluated in quantitative/qualitative terms. Several scientific methods are
available to predict the impact of the proposed project on environmental factors such as water,
air, noise, land, ecological, socio-economic. Such predictions are superimposed over baseline
environmental status to derive post project scenario of the environmental conditions. The
resultant (post-project) quality of environmental parameters is reviewed with respect to the
permissible limits. Based on the impacts thus, predicted preventive mitigation measures were
formulated and incorporated in the environmental management plan to minimize adverse
impacts on environmental quality.
The environmental impacts can be categorized as primary and secondary. Primary are those
which are directly attributed to the project and secondary impacts are those which are indirectly
induced due to primary impacts and include those associated with investment & socio-
economic status. The proposed project involves establishment of CETP of 600 KLD capacity in
phased manner on ZLD basis with 300 KLD capacity on phase I and additional 300 KLD
capacity in phase II. The unit will have 1 boiler of 5 ton capacity and 1 DG set of 200 KVA
capacity. Thus, impacts on environmental parameters during construction and operational phase
have been studied to estimate the impact on environment. These impacts are continuous
warranting built in permanent measures for mitigation and monitoring.

4.2 IDENTIFICATION & CHARACTERIZATION OF IMPACTS

The waste and pollutants to be generated due to various activities of the project cause impacts on
different environmental attributes. The major project activities and the anticipated environmental

impacts of the project are discussed below under the following categories:
 Impacts and mitigation measures due to project location.
 Impacts and mitigation measures due to project design.
 Impacts and mitigation measures during construction phase.
 Impacts and mitigation measures during operational phase.

4.2.1 IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES DUE TO PROJECT LOCATION

As, there will be establishment of CETP of 600 KLD capacity in a phased manner, with 300
KLD capacity in Phase I and additional 300 KLD capacity in Phase II at PSIEC Industrial Focal
Point, Chanalon, Mohali, Punjab. The project is located in PSIEC Industrial Focal Point,
Chanalon and proposed establishment will be limited to project boundary. Thus, no major and
significant impact anticipated to project location on population and sensitive receptors is
envisaged. However, vehicular load on road network for transportation of materials and
machinery and subsequent air and noise emissions can exert additional load on baseline
environmental conditions. These impacts will be identified by traffic survey, emissions
inventory and air quality modeling for additional loads on environmental emissions to be carried
out in additional studies as well as subsequent section respectively.

4.2.2 IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES DUE TO PROJECT DESIGN

The impacts on air quality from project depends on various factors like design capacity,
configuration, process technology, fuel used, air pollution control measures, operation and
maintenance. The establishment plan envisaged state of art technology, presently available in
the country to keep the impact low during establishment of the proposed CETP unit.
Hence, no significant anticipated impacts are envisaged due to project design.

4.2.3 IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES DUE TO CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The proposed project shall be developed at the PSIEC Industrial Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali),
Mohali, Punjab by M/s Bansal Envirotech, to achieve Zero Liquid Discharge norms, in phased
manner. The 600 KLD CETP shall be developed in two phases as explained hereunder:

structures shall be constructed as per full capacity, i.e. 600 KLD, whereas the electromechanical
and electrical components shall be installed as per initial operational capacity, i.e. 300 KLD.

Phase II: It would include the replacement and upgrading of the electromechanical and
electrical equipment to full capacity, i.e. 600 KLD, thereby making the CETP operational at the
full design capacity.

Particulate dust and noise levels would be the predominant pollutant affecting environmental
quality during the construction phase. To suppress fugitive and dust emissions, adequate
measures will be adopted such as proper sprinkling of water on land during loading and
unloading of construction material from vehicles, use of wind breakers, covered trucks carrying
the construction material etc. The green belt development in the project area will also help a
long way to attenuate the dust emissions and noise levels in the area.

4.3 IMPACT DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE

4.3.1 IMPACT ON AIR
4.3.1.1 Emission from Point Source (Stack Emissions)
Particulate dust, flue gases and vapor emissions shall be there during the operation of boiler, DG
sets and vehicles.
4.3.1.2 Emission from Area Source (Fugitive Emissions)
Fugitive emissions are expected from vehicular movements and other related activities will result
in air pollution.
4.3.1.3 Air Pollution – Impacts identification and Mitigation Measures
Air Quality Modeling
The extra load on the atmosphere by way of releasing air pollutants like particulate matter
(PM10, PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO)
from Diesel Generator sets have been taken up to assess the impacts on its surroundings. Entry of
pollutants into the atmosphere occurs in the form of gases or particles. Continuous mixing,
transformation and trans-boundary transportation of air pollutants make air quality of a locality
unpredictable.
Dispersion estimates are determined by using distribution equations and/or air quality models.
Gaussian plume equation is simple and widely used to identify the variation of pollutant
concentrations away from the center of the plume. This distribution equation determines ground
level pollutant concentrations based on time-averaged atmospheric variables (e.g. temperature,
wind speed).One of the Dispersion Model developed base on Gaussian plume equation was
AERMOD (The American Meteorology Society-Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory
Model) which is recommended for air quality simulations by the US EPA (2005). These models
stand for the state-of-the-science in air quality modeling and provide powerful features to
simulate various modeling situations and considerations

Fig 4.1: Site Location

Meteorological Data
AERMOD model requires hourly surface data values for wind speed, wind direction, temperature,
relative humidity and cloud cover as given in Table 4.4. Both data files for the surface and profile
files are then used to generate the meteorological file required by the AERMOD dispersion model
using the AERMET meteorological pre-processor program. This AERMET program has three
stages to process the data. The first stage extracts meteorological data and assesses data quality
through a series of quality assessment checks. The second stage merges all data available for 24-
hour periods and writes these data together in a single intermediate file. The third and final stage
reads the merged meteorological data and estimates the necessary boundary layer parameters for
dispersion calculations by AERMOD.
The meteorological pre-processed data has been used to determine its corresponding Wind Rose
plot. The Wind rose shows the most predominant wind direction from which the wind blows. This
means that the emissions plume will be dispersed mainly in that direction. The wind speed and
direction for year 2019 were recorded on continuous basis during study period at proposed site
location. The percentage frequencies of occurrence of various wind speed classes in different
directions were computed from recorded data on 24 hourly bases and presented in the form of
Wind Rose plot (see Figure 4.2). The wind rose diagram shows the predominant winds are mainly

flowing from North West -West, with the secondary wind direction being from the South East.
Calm conditions are observed for 1.0% of the total time.
The wind data is further analyzed to obtain predominant wind direction and average wind speed for
0 to 24 hr and the same data is used in prediction of impacts on air environment. The estimation
and evaluation of atmospheric emissions from proposed activity involves a number of scientific
inputs. Emissions from each activity vary from one another greatly with respect to characteristics
and quantity of emissions; controlling factors. A representative sample of input data is shown in
Table 4.3 below:

Prediction of GLCs
The estimation and evaluation of atmospheric emissions from proposed activity involves a number
of scientific inputs i.e. meteorology and surface data and source strength and quantity of emissions
from each activity/ process/ source associated to project operation.

Prediction of GLC for NOx

The maximum incremental pollutant concentration near the sources and within 500m is 2.0 µg /m3,
beyond which it rapidly gets diffused within 2 km to 0.2 µg /m3as shown in Figure 4.4 below. An
ambient value of 32.0 µg/m3, is observed throughout the region. This graph does not show much
variance. The small incremental 2.0 µg/m3 gets dispersed. Indicating no impact of NOx on any
sensitive receptors. All values are much below the CPCB limits.

The maximum incremental pollutant concentration near sources and within 500m is 1.0 µg/m3, and
within 2 km decreases to 0.3 µg/m3 beyond it the pollutant rapidly disperses. An ambient average
value of 15.0 µg/m3, is observed within 10 km influence zone which is the existing value, this
graph does not show much variance due to very small difference. Only within 2 km of sources
vicinity a slightly higher value is observed 1.0 µg/m3, indicating no impact of SO2 on any sensitive
receptors. All values are much below the CPCB limits.

CONCLUSION OF AIR QUALITY MODELING

The predictions of air pollutants (SO2, NOx, PM and CO) emitted post construction from CETP
has been studied through AERMOD View and local meteorological data has been used to
predicted concentrations of major air pollutants in the vicinity of the project in order to ensure
compliance with the Indian standards (CPCB, 2009) for ambient air quality. Results findings
indicate that after the implementation of the proposed project, concentrations of air pollutant are
found to be well below the permissible CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) Standards for
ambient air quality. Therefore, the proposed activity is not likely to have any significant adverse
impact on the air environment in the vicinity of the proposed project. Implementing proper
Environmental Management Plan along with mitigation measures like trees planting, around the
Project area can further minimize the pollution and protect the environment from the adverse
effects.

4.3.6 IMPACT OF BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Though the project site is located in PSIEC Industrial Focal Point, Chanalon (Kurali), on fallow
land, hence the impact zone is part of the landscape involving in rural areas. There is scarce growth
of vegetation and meager presence of fauna, thus the impacts on biological environment will be
negligible due to operation of the project.

4.3.6.1 Mitigation Measures-Biological Environment

Vehicular movement during night will be restricted to avoid adverse consequence on environment.
The project operations will be restricted to day time except transportation of chemicals and effluent.
There is no direct discharge of solid or liquid wastes. Adequate green area will be provided within
the project premises.
As the project is proposed in notified industrial zone, there is no doubt of the fact that accumulative
impact of the operating industries on the ecosystem in future is inevitable. But, as the area at
present does have any species under endemic or rare or endangered categories, hence no impact of
the industry on the biosphere of the region is anticipated.
Time to time monitoring of the plantation activities and proper management of green area will be
required from the regulatory bodies in order to ensure least harm to the surrounding ecosystems.

4.3.7 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Critically analyzing the existing environmental status of the socio-economic profile and visualizing
the scenario of the project, the impacts of proposed project would be varied and may generate both
positive and negative impact of the proposed project in the region that are stated below:

4.3.7.1 Positive Impacts

a) No Rehabilitation
Resettlement & Rehabilitation will not require as there is no land acquisition or displacement of any
houses, habitation or livestock.
b) Increase in Job Opportunities

any high employment potential activities, the people are economically backward.

c) No burden to the existing Infrastructure Facilities

Local work force will be given first preference in the activity due to which influx of the outsiders is
not envisaged or minimized. Thus, there will not be the necessity of provision of housing facility for
the local workers and not stressing on the existing civic amenities of the area. Hence no such burden
to the existing infrastructure is anticipated due to the project.

d) Improvement in Infrastructure
The activity will benefit the local people due to provision of more infrastructural facilities such as
development of approach routes within the village areas, street lights and health facilities etc.
e) Agriculture
The project will not going to cause any damage to the existing agricultural situation. Instead, it is
likely to provide the farmers with non-farm activities, connecting road facility to markets. There is a
possibility of increase in industrialization in the vicinity of the project site. This is likely to bring
more skill diversification among local people.

4.3.7.2 Adverse Impacts

a) Impacts on Human Health
The air emissions are controlled efficiently using air pollution control equipment and stacks shall be
provided at adequate height.
b) Impacts on Public Health & Safety
The discharge of waste materials (stack emission, wastewater and solid waste) from process
operations can have potential impact on public safety and health. The impact from the discharge of
waste products will not expected to be significant since, the adverse impacts on ambient air, water
and soil quality are predicted to be low. It is predicted that the impacts on public safety will be very
low, due to the effective safety system and safety management proposed within the plant.

could occur as a result of failures in process, procedures, or equipment. Increasing industrial
accidents, loss of life & property, public scrutiny, statutory requirements and intense industrial
processes, all contribute to a growing need to ensure that risk and hazard management study is
conducted and implemented. Risk Assessment associated to CETP unit depends upon frequency
and consequence of plant failure. The quantitative risk analysis (QRA) technique has been
adopted for risk assessment associated to CETP unit.

7.3.1 OBJECTIVES OF QRA

 As per the requirements stated in the Terms of Reference of the EIA study, the risk
assessment study has been undertaken to address the following aspects:

7.3.2 TERMS ENVIRONMENTAL RISK

 Harm: Damage to person, property or environment
 Hazard Situation: that poses a level of threat to life, health property or environment. A
Hazardous situation that has come to pass is called incident. Hazard and possibility
interact together to create risk. An environmental hazard is thus going to be a set of
circumstances which leads to direct or indirect degradation of environment and damage
to the life and property.
 Risk: The probability of harm or likelihood of harmful occurrence and its severity.
Environmental risk is a measure of the potential threats to the environment, life and
property.
 Consequence: Effect due to occurrence of the event which may endanger the
environment permanently or temporarily and, or, loss of life and property.

7.3.3 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS

7.3.3.1 Fire and Explosion Hazard

Burns and explosion are generally associated to handling and storage of chemicals in the
workplace. Major accidental hazards are due to flammable and explosive chemicals. Therefore
special precautions shall be taken before handling, storing or transporting these chemicals to
prevent fire and explosion events.

7.3.3.2 Chemical Hazards

Sources of chemical hazards are due to Exposure to chemicals and Toxic effects of chemicals.
7.3.3.3 Electricity

Fatalities can arise due to electric shocks, burns and when contacted with overheads or
underground power cables.

Recommendations to control the electricity hazards

 Use of safe and suitable equipments

 Safe installation of electrical appliances
 Provision of safety devices for detecting faults
 Overhead power lines
 Safe working conditions

7.3.3.4 Toxic Gaseous Hazards

The toxic gases as methane and hydrogen sulfide are the concern in wastewater treatment plants.
Hydrogen sulfide and methane are the byproducts of the decomposition of organic materials that
exist in the waste flows feeding the plant. The buildup of these gases may lead to the lack of
oxygen, or in some cases, explosion when coupled with a source of ignition. Beyond this, the
dangers also exist from purifying chemicals such as chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ammonia and
ozone used as decontamination of the waste/ effluent water. The potential for an unlimited
number of toxic or explosive gases exists from the chemicals that may be spilled or dumped into
the waste system from the industrial community.

7.3.3.5 Health Hazards

Various solvents are used in chemical, pharmaceutical, dyes and dye intermediate units. The
recovery and reuse of these solvents in these industries is very poor because of technology,
equipment add to pollution loads to CETP. This may leads to problems of hazardous air pollution

The physical layout of CETP involves open tanks and drainage areas. Volatile organics in
wastewater vaporize or air-stripped during CETP operation can be carcinogens and/or mutagens.
CETP workers generally report vomiting, nausea, upset stomach and diarrhea like symptoms.

The plant personnel may be exposed to the following hazardous conditions:

1. Physical Injuries- Injury can be caused by rotating equipment such as pumps, blowers
and fans. Falling from or into tanks and elevated platforms. These can be avoided by
use of ladders, handrails, hard hats etc.

2. Chemical Burns- An emergency shower and eye wash should be located at the plant
for washing out hazardous chemicals on the skin and eyes. Neutralizing solutions,
proper equipment and clothing should be available for safety reasons.

3. Oxygen Deficiency- Oxygen deficiency may occur in closed unventilated vessels.

Make sure fans or blowers are on when you inspect the vessel.

4. Toxic or suffocating Gases or Vapors – These come from chemicals used in treatment
processes and all personnel should be trained in ways to handle it and should be trained
in the use of self- contained breathing apparatus.

5. Fire- Burns from fire can cause very serious injury. Avoid accumulation of flammable
material and store any material of this type in approved containers at proper locations.
Note the location of firefighting equipment.

6. Electrical Shock- Electrical shock causes serious injury. Do not attempt to repair
electrical equipment. Call an electrical repair technician.

7. Noise- Loud noise from blowers can cause permanent ear damage. Personnel need to
wear proper ear protecting devices whenever working in noisy areas.

7.3.4 PREVENTION AND CONTROL OF HAZARDS

The risk management measures for the project activities require adoption of best safety practice
at respective construction zones within the Works boundary. In addition, the design and
engineering of the proposed facilities would take into consideration proposed protection
measures for air and water environment

 Administrative control- Rotation of personnel between treatment operations can reduce

inhalation of air-stripped chemicals and aerosols, and may help the development of
immunity to diseases by keeping exposure at low.
 Engineering control- Manage ventilation for processes located within the building, splash
guards for dewatering equipment and design to reduce air-stripping and aerosols.
 Plant trees around the plant process/ aeration basin to capture the droplets and particles.
 Reduce air-stripping and aerosols by using diffused aeration rather than mechanical
aeration and by using finer bubbles for aeration.
 Consider suppressing the droplets just above the surface by using water spray and
disinfection of the airborne particles by using ultraviolet lights.
 Cover the primary clarification process unit weir area to shield it from wind or use
submerged effluent collectors, such as pipes with orifices, rather than weirs.
 Avoid handling screenings by hand to prevent injuries.
 Label piping so that potable and nonpotable water are clearly
distinguished.
 Use processes that significantly reduce pathogens as aerobic / anaerobic digestion, air
drying, low temperature composting, lime stabilization.
 Worker exposure can be reduced with the use of and proper care of protective clothing
and
equipment.
 Heavy-duty rubber gloves and boots can be used to prevent skin contact with wastewater
and sludge.
 Remove contaminated clothing after job completion.
 Shower at work and change into clean clothes and shoes.

7.3.5 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disaster Management Plan (DMP) has been designed based on the range, scales and effects of
"Major Generic Hazards" described in the Risk Assessment.

The DMP addresses the range of thermal and mechanical impacts of these major hazards so that
potential harm to people onsite and offsite, plant and environment can be reduced to a practicable
minimum. The DMP or Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP) will consist of:

 On-site Emergency Plan

 Off-site Emergency Plan

Disaster Management Plan preparation under the headlines of On-site Emergency Plan and Off-
site Emergency Plan is in consonance with the guidelines laid by the Ministry of Environment,
Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) which states that the "Occupier" of the facility is
responsible for the development of the On-site Emergency Plan. The Off-site Emergency Plan
should be developed by the Government (District Authorities).

Criteria for Selection of Species
The choice of vegetative species for planting is based on studies of the natural vegetation in the
area and on the environmental conditions.
 Plant species, which show higher adaptability to local climatic and edaphic conditions.
 Plants which show vigorous growth, and higher fodder value.
 Preferably indigenous, endemic and rare species.
 Plants that serve as nesting, feeding and breeding sites for fauna.
 Plants that enhance the aesthetics of the surrounding areas.
 Plants species having property of soil binding.
 Plant species with different good canopy and preferably evergreen.
 Tolerant to specific conditions or capacity to endure water stress and climatic extremes
after initial establishment.
Economically important plant species
Green belts are used to form a surface capable of sorbing and forming sinks for odorous gases. Leaves
with their vast area in a tree crown, sorbs pollutants on their surface, thus effectively reduce their
concentrations in the ambient air and source emissions.

While making choice of plant species for green belts, weightage has to be given to the natural
factor of bio-climate. Odour can be reduced by developing green belt.

 Plants which counteract odour are
