2.7 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
2.7.1 Hydrogenated Castor Oil (HCO)
Refined Castor oil is charged in autoclave under vacuum and heated upto 110oC.
Ni is added to the autoclave as catalyst. The vacuum valve is closed and
hydrogen valve is opened to charge of Hydrogen gas at 8kg/cm2 in the autoclave.
The hydrogenation reaction being an exothermic reaction, the temperature in
autoclave is maintained between 140 – 150oC. The hydrogenation process takes
approximately 4hrs. to complete. Sample is drawn and analysed for Iodine valve,
on achieving Iodine value below 3 units, the reaction mass is cooled to 100oC.
The batch is filtered through pressure leaf filter to recover the Ni catalyst and
transferred to storage tanks. The material from the storage tanks is transferred
for manufacturing derivatives or to flakers. The flaked material is then packed
bags and stored in godown.

3.3 METHODOLOGY
a) Air Sampling
The parameters of concern in the air environment are combustion-derived pollutants
– PM10, SO2, and NOx and there are no process emissions. Hence the existing
Ambient Air Quality status (AAQ) has been monitored for the same. The monitoring
stations have been identified taking into account the pre-dominant wind direction,
population zone and sensitive receptors.
b) Water Sampling
Ground water & surface water such as ponds are the sources of water in the study
area. The drinking water demand is met by groundwater & washing water
requirement is satisfied by surface water in the impact area. Water sampling and
analysis was carried for the identified monitoring stations.

3.4 ESTABLISHMENT OF BASELINE FOR VALUED COMPONENTS

Kheda district is a part of Gujarat plain and is subdivided into five sub-micro regions
viz. Sabarmati-Vatrak plain, Nadiad plain, Aravalli Forested Rock-outcrops and Mahi
plain on the basis of topography, climate, geology, soils and natural vegetation.
The latitude and longitude of the district are 22 30’ to 23 17’ and 72 30’ to 73 34’
respectively. The district is bounded on the north by Sabarkantha district, on the east
by Panchmahals district, on the west by Ahmedabad district and on the south by
Anand district.
Geographically, the district has a small hilly area only in northern parts of Kapadvanj
and Balasinor taluka. The remaining portion of the district is plain sloping gently from
the North-East towards the South-West.
3.4.1 Micrometeorology
Weather and Climate
The project location is situated at a height of about 21 m above MSL, has a hot
summer and general ambient dryness except during monsoons. Winter is very short
and spans from December to February. June to August is the southwest monsoon
season. The site has varying range of temperatures, from the average maximum of
32 oC in May to average minimum of 12oC in January (Ref: IMD, Ahmedabad
station). The heat during the later part of the summer is intense and day temperature
goes above 43oC. The summary climatic features of the area are presented in Table
3.3.
Average rainfall is 723 mm - over 90% of this falls during the months of June to
August. Only during the monsoon the humidity is high and rest of the year the climate
is comparatively dry. Cloudiness rapidly decreases after the monsoon and the sky is
mostly clear or lightly clouded till May. Moderate windy condition prevails all through
the year with winds ranging from 6.09 to 16.19 km/hr making the area fairly windy.

3.4.2 Land use and Land cover

The land use / land cover has been presented in the form of a map prepared by using
IRS-P6 LISS-III (11-FEB-2009) and procured from the National Remote Sensing
Agency (NRSA), Hyderabad. The satellite data has been processed using ERDAS
Imagine software supported with ground checks and ground truth verification. Area
and distance calculations have been carried out using GIS software after geo-
referencing the interpreted data with the help of Survey of India (SoI) topographical
maps of the scale 1:50,000. [Source: Environmental Information Centre, MoEF, New Delhi]
A map depicting major land use/ land cover classes comprising lands under
agriculture, fallow land, open/degraded vegetation; lands falling under water bodies,
marshes and sand beds, open/rocky lands and lands under inhabitations along with
the village locations in the area of coverage is presented as Figure 3.2. The map also

3.4.3 Air
The terrain being flat, the site is in an extended, unconfined air shed. The surface
wind over Kheda has a fairly clear-cut seasonal character with easterly component
predominating in winters and westerly component in the summers. During May to
September, the winds are from West to Southwest while during November to March,
they are from Northeast to East. April and October are the transition months.
3.4.4 Water
The district has nine rivers of which Mahi and Sabarmati are principal perennial
rivers. The river Mahi is known as Mahisagar. Total length of Mahi River in the district
is about 180km and of Sabarmati River in the district is about 88km. Other rivers of
the district viz. Shedhi, Vatrak, Meshwo and Khari meet Sabarmati River at its left
bank.
The natural drainage is through river Vatrak towards southwest made up of natural
nallas generally flowing from northeast to southwest leading to Gulf of Cambay.
Gulf of Cambay is about 40 kms away on the southwest side of the project site. River
Vatrak is the only major river in the impact area. Multitudes of ponds present in
almost every village in the area are used for domestic purpose such as washing,
bathing, cattle requirements, etc. The source of water for these tanks is seasonal and
so water is available for about six months in a year. From March onwards the tanks
remain almost dry.
The impact area falls under Mahi Right Bank Command (MRBC) Aquifer region
Figure 3.4. In the MRBC area, apart from the shallow aquifer, there are two semi to
fully confined aquifers whose thickness increases from East to West. Groundwater
used to be available in phreatic conditions 100 years back when groundwater was
not exploited for agricultural purposes.
Groundwater conditions in some parts of the canal head areas are water logged for
some parts of the year. But, on the whole, water table is found at 40-80 feet below
ground level. Few wells access this shallow groundwater table and reach out to the
deeper two layers. Most irrigation wells are between 120 ft to 200 ft, with some going
upto 300 ft and 350 ft also.
3-9 Prakruti
Figure 3.4: Soil distribution across the MRBC aquifer
Comparing the groundwater quality of the MRBC aquifer with several other aquifers
in Gujarat, it can be seen that the MRBC aquifer is relatively in a better quality from
the existing data on water quality. Apart from high salinity and TDS, other parameters
seem to be within WHO safety limits.

Major part of the area is covered by Alluvial Sandy Loam to Sandy Clay Loam. The
soils of this group are very deep, well drained and reddish brown in colour. They are
classified as Ustifluvents. Heplaquents. Ustorthents and Ustochrepts. These soils are
the most productive in the whole of the state and well supplied with due to presence
of Illite type of clay mineral. [Source: Gujarat State Agricultural Marketing Board]
3.4.6 Agricultural
This area has been amongst the first in the country to adopt tubewell technology has
witnessed high growth in the past five decades. Consequently, conjunctive use of
canal water and groundwater developed in the area to current proportions, when the
previously undivided Kheda district ranked amongst the most agriculturally
prosperous districts of the India.
The surrounding area is densely cultivated. The principal crops grown in Kheda are
the ordinary millets and pulses, rice, wheat, tobacco and a little indigo. Bajri is the
principal crop and the staple grain food. Tobacco is the most valuable crop produced
in the district. It is grown mostly in the Charotar tract. Castor seed and sesame are
the only oilseeds grown in the district. [Source: Annual Employment Report 2006-07, District

3.4.7 Industrial/ Commercial Activities

Agriculture is the mainstay of people in the district. District economy is
preponderantly agricultural. There are few small and medium scale industrial units in
mixed composition in Kheda District.
3.4.8 Socio economic status

According to Census 2001, Kheda district has a total population of 20.24 lakhs. The
total number of households being 395493, the average family size works out to 5.12.
Sex wise data show that the proportion of males in the total population is 52.1% while
that of females is 47.9%. The resultant sex ratio works out to 923 females per 1000
males. The literacy ratio is 82.6% in urban areas whereas is much lower (69.2%) in
rural areas. The overall literacy rate in the district is thus 72.0% - males 86.0% cent
which is substantially higher than the female literacy rate (56.9%). It is interesting to
notice that male literacy in urban areas of the district has shot up to as high as 90.0%
implying that every 9 out of 10 persons living in towns and cities are literate.

Full time workers 693605 (34.28%)
Part time workers 213035 (10.53%)
Unemployed and their Percentage 1116714 (55.19%)
The district is having dominance of farming occupation. Nearly 60% workers are
engaged in agriculture-either as cultivators (27.4%) or as farm labourers (31.3%). A
distinct observation emerging from the relevant data is that the proportion of females
working as agricultural labourers is larger (38.8%) than that of male (27.1%) workers.
Another notable fact is the relatively larger participation of females in urban areas
(5.4%) in house hold industries compared to male workers (1.9%).
In Kheda district, out of the total 3,69,732 rural families, according to Below Poverty
Line (BPL) census data, 16.41% families are found to be living below poverty line.
Comparatively low poverty ratio in the district is evident from these data. Among the
BPL families in rural areas, 1.30% belongs to scheduled castes, only 0.72% are tribal
families while over 2.82% women are classified as poor according to the BPL census
definition.
Agriculture is the mainstay of people in the district. District economy is

preponderantly agricultural. According to the data furnished by District Industries
Centre (DIC), there are in Kheda district nearly 300 rural industrial units providing
employment to more than 1800 persons in the district. Cement and wood units are in
maximum number among them. They are followed by those engaged in paper
products, rubber industries and non metallic mineral products.
3-12 Prakruti
Number of units registered as Small Scale Industries is 293 providing wage

employments to 1817 persons. Of these 243 (82.93%) units are registered in rural
area and 50 (17.07%) in the urban parts of the district.
The proportion of working population in the total population is 48.1% in the rural
areas and is much lower (31.8%) in the urban areas. Obviously, cultivators,
agricultural laborers and those engaged in animal husbandry account for a
substantial portion of the rural work – force. It is noticed that among the urbanites the
proportion of non – workers is almost double that in the ruralites. The proportion of
nonworkers among urban females is much higher than that in the rural areas.
Services sector in Kheda district appears to have provided employment to nearly 50
thousand persons consisting of 85 per cent percent males and 15 per cent percent
females. Apart from govt. and semi-govt. jobs, private sector has been responsible
for engaging quite a considerable number of persons (17965) of which 16140 are
males and 1825 are females.
As far as the economy of Kheda district is concerned, the phenomenon of out –

migration from villages is rather exceptional. Development of agriculture and animal
husbandry is so advanced that farmers including small and marginal farmers or even
agricultural laborers are not required to migrate even in times of failure of monsoon
and the resultant drought conditions. There are ample employment opportunities in
farm, non – farm and service sectors in the district both during agricultural season as
well as off-season. According to 2001 census, there are a fair number of persons
(33582) who migrated into this district in search of jobs and labour (skilled or
unskilled) work. These in-migrants were mostly from the three neighboring states of
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. It is rather curious to observe that in-
migrants from the distant state of Uttar Pradesh were quite considerable (33.1 per
cent) and were even larger in proportion than other distant states.

3.4.9 Biological Features

The district has no big forest areas except some forests in Balasinor and Kapadvanj
taluka where teak, babul, neem, mahuda and mango trees are found. The flora within
the 10 km radius was studied under seasonal vegetation, cultivated plants including
roadside plantation and agricultural crops. Vast agricultural fields of ordinary millets
and pulses, rice, wheat, tobacco, castor seed and sesame seed and some scattered
and small plantations of banana, drumsticks, a little indigo, lemon and gooseberry
are found in the impact area. Sparsely distributed trees of Mango (Mangifera
indiaca), Neem (Azadirachta indica), Rayan (Manilkana lexandra), Teak (Tectona
grandis), Babul (Acacia arabica), Timru (Diospyrus tupru), Amli (Tamarindus indicus),
Sasad (Terminalia tomentosa), Cassia spp., Vad (Ficus bengalensis) and Pipal
(Ficus religiosa) and wild bamboo are available in the impact area. A wide variety of
annual herbs are found just after monsoon. Ground flora is dry during rest of the
season. As there is no dense canopy forest in the impact area, large wild animals
are absent. Xerophytes and dry deciduous trees dominate the wild flora.

The primary criteria pollutants sampled and analysed in the sampling locations are
well within the 24 hourly average values prescribed under the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards, Annexure–7, the levels of air quality with an adequate margin to
safety, to protect the public health, vegetation and property.
PM10 values in the impact zone ranges from 39.0 µg/Nm3 (minimum at Project Site)
to 115.2 µg/Nm3 (maximum at Kheda). PM10value at the project site ranges from 39.0
µg/Nm3 to 56.0 µg/Nm3 with 47.5 µg/Nm3 of average concentration.
SOx values in the impact zone ranges from 9.9 µg/Nm3 (minimum at Mahelaj) to 22.4
µg/Nm3 (maximum at Kanera). SOx value at the project site ranges from 11.7 µg/Nm3
to 13.1 µg/Nm3 with 12.4 µg/Nm3 of average concentration.
NOX values in the impact zone ranges from 11.3 µg/Nm3 (minimum at Mahelaj) to
23.6 µg/Nm3 (maximum at Kanera). NOX value at the project site ranges from 15.6
µg/Nm3 to 17.1 µg/Nm3 with 16.4 µg/Nm3 of average concentration.
Values for HC and VOC in the impact zone and project site were found well below
the detectable levels.
The level of all monitored air pollutants at the project site are found to be well within
the NAAQ Standards.
4.2.2 Water Environment

Ground water is expected to have long-term impact from the project activities, mainly
due to the withdrawal of fresh water. A total of 36 grab samples were collected from
various chosen locations in the impact area to give an idea of the prevailing water
quality in the impact zone. The locations were:
• Bore water, which will be used for all industrial and domestic operations at the
project site.
• Representative samples of drinking water from village sites (bore well and hand
pump water is the source of drinking water in all the villages)
• Surface water from the villages within the impact boundary
Ground water was given a special emphasis in the impact zone as it is used for
drinking purpose in the impact area.
The analysis of groundwater, surface water and Vatrak River are tabulated in Table
4.4, Table 4.5 (a) & (b) and Table 4.6 respectively. Water quality was studied to

water criteria as given in IS 10500, Annexure-8.

4.3 IMPACT EVALUATION
4.3.1 Impact on Air Environment

The source of the air pollution from the industry is flue gas emission through stack
attached to Boiler using Deoiled Cake as fuel. There shall be no process emissions
from the manufacturing processes. Occassional air emissions from DG set used as
emergency power source shall also be encountered. The air emissions are mainly
due to combustion of fuel through the Boiler that would contribute to pollutants viz.
PM, SOx, and NOx. A stack with adequate height & air pollution control system is
proposed to be installed.
Based on the above pollutant generators and type and quantity of fuel used, the
parameters PM, SOx, and NOx were identified as pollutants. The stack details are
presented in Table 4.9.

NOX 0.907
Note: The pollution emission rate is based on the permissible limit
Impact of a source or group of sources on air quality has been evaluated by using
the mathematical model - Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3). The
model simulates the concentration of air pollutants emitted from point sources from a
release height on the basis of Gaussian distribution. The important factors
responsible for the nature and degree of emissions are production capacities of
plant, type of fuel, stack height, air pollution control measures, etc.
The model predicts Ground Level Concentrations (GLC) as a function of wind speed,
direction and stability class (Based on solar isolation, wind speed and cloud count).

There is no significant building turbulence effecting the pollutant dispersal and the
terrain is flat. The 24 hourly mean meteorology data of October month at the project
and the windrose based on it is presented in Annexure-10 and Figure 4.2
respectively. The input parameters for the models consist of stack emission rate,
stack height, flue gas temperature, flue gas velocity, inner diameter of stack at exit
and ambient temperature and other meteorology data.
Figures 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 indicate the GLCs of pollutants PM, SOx, and NOx based on
the 24 hourly mean-met data of the season. The GLCs are presented in the form of
Isopleths.

The maximum contributions of the pollutants from the project activities are observed
to be 0.19825 μg/m3 for PM 1.13287 μg/m3 for SOx, and 0.40710 μg/m3 for NOX
which is very insignificant. The maximum ground level concentration is at about 500
m from the project site towards northwest. The predicted values are not to cause any
significant impact in the existing ambient air quality with respect to PM, SOx, and
NOX.
b. Fugitive Emissions
The fugitive emissions to environment during the handling, charging, separation, etc.
of chemicals are possible. However, the quantity of such emissions is negligible, as
the process would operate in a closed loop system. Also the fugitive emissions from
the specific storage areas are negligible as the chemicals would be stored in
4-20 Prakruti
KGN Bio - Tech Ltd.
accordance to the guidelines given under MSIHC Rules, 1989. The industry
proposes to connect the vents of the reactors to chilled water condenser system; the
receiver would be jacketed with circulation of chilled water thereby reducing fugitive
emissions. The recovered solvents would be stored and reused. The industry
proposes to conduct regular monitoring of fugitive emissions as per the requirement
of Factory Act 1948 and G.S.R. 414(E) dated 30th May, 2008.
4.3.2 Impact on Water Environment

The maximum water consumption of the facility for the proposed production shall be
255m3/d. The water demand of shall be sufficed by 1no.-borewell of 200mm dia.
equipped with 45 m3/hr pump coupled with 15HP motor.
The industry proposes to install an adequate Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) for
handling, treatment and reuse of liquid effluent from the plant. The proposed unit has
provided 15,000 Sq. Mt. of land as green belt. The treated effluent conforming to the
on-land disposal norms, Annexure–11 shall be used for the green belt development.
Industry has due respect for the Environment and is committed for the environmental
protection and conservation of natural resources, whereby the industry proposes to
practice rain water harvesting and explore the possibility to reuse the treated effluent,
thereby reducing the demand for the fresh water.
4.3.3 Impact on Soil Environment

The possible impact on soil would be due to spillage of wastewater or chemicals if at
all any, on land due to the project activities. However these do not have a significant
impact on the soil, as the instances/frequency of spillage will be rare; chemicals, fuel
and waste storage areas, transfer areas are proposed to be impervious; material
shall be handled and transferred by means of pumps.
The handling & management of hazardous solid waste generated by the industry is
as shown in Table 4.12.

facility (TSDF) developed by NEPL, Odhav, Ahmedabad, Annexure-12.
4.3.4 Impact on Noise Environment

The noise levels recorded during the study period mentions that the noise levels are
very much within the stipulated levels for rural/urban areas. The proposed project
would have few potential noise-generating sources such as Boiler, Pumps, Blower
Operations, occasional use of DG set and other manufacturing operations wherein
the industry proposes mandate the use of earplugs. Since there is no noise
generating activity in the proximity, the sound level would be very much within the
prescribed limits.
4.3.5 Aesthetic Impacts

The layout of the plant is done in a way that all the major areas are easily accessible.
The tank farms are constructed keeping in mind the safety data’s of chemicals to be
stored. The plant layout is done as per the requirement of MSIHC rules thereby have
positive impact as far as aesthetics is concerned. Furthermore the industry has
earmarked 15,000 m2 area surrounding the plant for Green Belt Development.

5.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

Any developmental activity has positive and negative impact on the environment in
which it operates. These impacts would be identified and evaluated. The significant
negative impacts would be caused due to air emissions; wastewater and solid waste
generated from the project activities. The industry proposes the implementation of
Environmental Management Program as mentioned in Annexure-13 for air
emissions, Annexure -14 for Liquid emissions & Annexure-15 Hazardous Solid
Waste, to minimise negative impacts.
5.2 POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES

KGN Bio-Tech Ltd. propose to adapt a comprehensive pollution control measure to
manage the environmental pollution generated from the proposed project.
5.2.1 Air Pollution Control Measures

The air emissions from the proposed project would be flue gas emission through
Boilers and occasional use of DG set. There are no process emissions from the
manufacturing process. The details of air pollution control measure for the flue gas
emissions are mentioned below.
The project would have 1 no. of Boiler of 16 TPH capacity using 40 MT/day of
Deoiled Cake (fuel) consumption. The flue gas emission for Boiler would contain
SPM, SO2 and NOx as air pollutants. Multi Cyclone Separators followed by Bag
Filters is proposed to be installed to control the SPM values within the permissible
limit. Stack of adequate 30 m height would be attached to the air pollution system of
the Boiler for flue gas emission to atmosphere. The detail of the proposed air
pollution control equipment – Bag Filter is attached as Annexure-16.
Fly ash generated from the boiler is rich in the potash value (9 to 10%) so that it will
be directly sold to the farmers as natural manure for citrus fruits.
Only during power cut and shortage the industry will be operating 1 nos. of D.G. set
of 1200 KVA. The emissions from the D.G. Sets would be within the permissible
limits.
5.2.2 Water Pollution Control Measures

Wastewater would be generated from the process reactors & washing, utilities, and
domestic usages. The industry proposes to install an Effluent Treatment Plant of
capacity 75 m3/day for treating the industrial and domestic effluent load.
5-2 Prakruti
KGN Bio - Tech Ltd.
The process utilises solvents for the extraction of the final product. These solvents
would be mixed in the effluent streams. The project proposes to install solvent
recovery system from the wastewater stream which would be reused back in the
process and thereby reduce the organic load in the effluent stream. The Solvent
Recovery system proposed is attached as Annexure-17. The project also proposes to
install Double Effect Evaporation Plant with Thermo Compressor with Single Effect
Forced Circulation Evaporator as finisher for Glycerin concentration, the details of
which is attached as Annexure-18. The effluent from process washings is collected
for its treatment in Effluent Treatment Plant prior to its use for green belt
development.
A brief description of the proposed Effluent Treatment Plant is as mentioned below.
The raw effluent after passing through Screen Chamber and Oil & Grease Trap shall
be equalized in the Equalization Tank so as to maintain the homogenous character of
the effluent and to ascertain that the downstream units are fed with homogenous
effluent character.
The homogenous effluent then shall be subjected to Primary Chemical Treatment

using suitable Acid / Alkali and polyelectrolyte for pH correction in Flash Mixing Tank
and separation of settleable solids in Primary Clarifier. The clear neutral supernatant
effluent from Primary Clarifier alongwith screened domestic effluent from septic tank
shall then be subjected to aerobic biological process in an Aeration Tank working on
the principle of Extended Aeration Modification of Activated Sludge process. The
treated effluent shall then be held under quiescent conditions in the Secondary
Clarifier. The clear supernatant from the Secondary Clarifier shall then be filtered
through Pressure Sand Filter and Activated Carbon Filter to achieve the desired final
quality of treated effluent prior to its disposal on land for green belt development.
Sludge from bottom of Primary Clarifier and Secondary Clarifier will be dewatered
using suitable sludge dewatering unit (SDU). The filtrate from SDU would be taken
back in the treatment plant for further treatment. The solids would be disposed to the
secured landfill site.

5.2.3 Hazardous Waste Pollution Control Measures

The hazardous wastes generated from the proposed project and management and
handling for the same are as tabulated in Table 4.12.
The project proposes to have Hazardous Solid Waste Storage Yard, wherein the
wastes would be stored at the designated areas & separate cells. The storage yard
would have impervious floor with leachate collection system and a roof covering.
The dewatered chemical and biological ETP sludge would be packed in HDPE bags.
The industry proposes to avail the membership of M/s. Naroda Enviro Projects Ltd.,
G.D.C.I. Naroda, Ahmedabad for the disposal of ETP at the TSDF.
The used oil would be collected and stored in drums. The used oil shall be reused
within the industry and/ or sold authorised re – refiners.
The discarded drums, barrels, bags and liners would be decontaminated prior to
storage. The decontaminated drums, barrels, bags and liners be reused within the
industry and/ or sold authorised facility providers.
The spent catalyst (containing Ni) shall be collected in bags and stored. The spent Ni
waste shall be sold to authorised metal re-processors.
The Pyrolytic Mass of Methyl Ricinoleate shall be collected in drums and stored. The
Pyrolytic Mass of MR shall be sold to identified soap manufactures.
5.2.4 Noise Pollution Control Measures

Boiler area would be the only major source of noise generation in the plant, wherein
use of earplugs would be strictly enforced. The noise monitoring results indicate that
the noise levels are well within the National Ambient Noise Standards as per EPA.
5.2.5 Green Belt Development

Green belt provided around industries improves the aesthetics and provides a thick
canopy helping in noise abatement, captures aerosols, breaks wind-speed and
improves soil conditions. The greenbelt would be designed considering the emission
levels, resistance to pollutants, wind speed and the distance from the pollution
sources. The plants would be selected based on local soil, fast growth, height of the
trees selected, evergreen foliage and large leaf area index. The project proposes to
develop about 59.55% of the total area under greenbelt.

KGN Bio - Tech Ltd.
6.1 RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk is defined as the unwanted consequences of a particular activity. The
magnitude of risk varies with the total impact area for different scenarios. The risk
assessment is basically done of all the hazardous storages that are present in the
premises. The larger the storage, greater is the risk posed by the storage. The
impact area increases proportionately with storage.
Risk assessment is a method that has proven its value as an all-round tool for
improving the safety standards prevalent in the hazardous chemical handling
industry. The designs provided by the manufacturers of different equipments have in-
built safety systems but these are not sufficient as amply demonstrated by the
disasters all over the world. The specific safety systems designed to increase the
overall safety actually supplements other safety systems in place such as HAZOP,
Safety Audit, regular incident analysis to identify the potential for such incidents and
to evaluate the necessary control measures.
Risk assessment is a tool that is used to analyse the risk posed by different project
activities vis-à-vis the area. The consequence analysis forms part of this assessment
and helps in evaluation of different hazards that are to be considered for conducting
consequence analysis. The risk assessment basically involves the prediction of the
consequence in case there is a fire, explosion or toxic gas release that might occur
due to handling, storage or processing of any of the hazardous materials by the
industry. The findings of risk assessment are dovetailed into On-site emergency plan
also known as Disaster Management Plan.
Hazard Identification is a tool that is very useful for conducting a risk assessment as
it helps in identification and detailing of hazards that exist in a given plant. The
hazard identification is done prior to the consequence analysis in a given plant and
serves as the core base of information on which whole risk assessment is based.
The basic principle of risk analysis lies in the answer to the questions about risk such
as type, causes, consequences and frequency.

Environmental Professionals and Competent Persons, Vadodara for carrying out
Risk Assessment Studies for the proposed project.

6.2 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disaster prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection is
the first major step to reduce the probability of occurrence and consequential effect of
such eventualities. Though, it must be kept in kind that it is not possible to eliminate
all the possible failure situations. The hazard control procedures must be concerned
with reducing the impacts of such disasters and start of normal operations in the
affected unit as early as is possible.
Onsite Emergency Plan forms the basis of such mitigation measures. The plan is a
recognition that various possibilities of occurrence of accidents exist despite the best
possible prevention measures.
The plan provides a set of instructions for emergency personnel, administrators,

personnel working in areas not affected by emergency, visitors, security, etc. The
given sets of instructions are general in nature. It must however be noted that it is not
possible to envisage and detail every action that should be taken for every
emergency situation such as extent of emergency, immediate communication of
emergency, Onsite actions for process controls, mobilisation of internal and external
resources for fire, warning employees and visitors at the right time, evacuation,
medical preparedness, control of pollution, etc. It must be kept in mind that the DMP
gives in detail the actions that are to be taken in case an emergency arises but the
actions are to be fine tuned and properly communicated to all concerned so that
effective mitigation of any emergency takes place. The emergency organisation is set

up according to the organisation chart so that there is no confusion and also to

KGN Bio - Tech Ltd.
7.1 Improvements in Physical Infrastructure

To ensure the overall EHS, the industry proposes the following improvements in its
physical infrastructure.
• Steam generation using Biomass FBC boiler.
• Mechanised Material Handling system.
• Godown storages for raw materials and finished products
• Concrete floors and roads all within the factory premises
• Impervious floor in ETP and hazardous waste storage areas
• Rain Water Harvesting to recharge ground water strata
7.2 Improvement in Social Infrastructure

• The promoters have been working on improvement of social infrastructure in
association with Kheda Municipal Corporation by providing cement benches in
the gardens.
• The promoters have exhibited interest in development of cross road circles in the
region thereby helping in traffic regulation environment.
• The promoters would encourage contract farming for the farmers with small piece
of land, for which they would provide good quality castor seeds free of cost and
natural manure at subsidies rate and in turn would purchase the grown seeds
thus enhancing the economic status of the farmers.
• The promoters in association with local NGOs also proposes to undertaken
welfare activities for the nearby community.
7.3 Employment Potential – Skilled, Semi-Skilled and Unskilled

• The creation of the new project will bring direct employment for approximately 50
persons from the vicinity of Kheda, Nadiad and nearby villages.
• The skills already available in areas of ITI scholars, fitters, mechanics etc. get a
boost by being employed and further trained in respective skills.
7.4 Other Tangible Benefits

• Castor is a bio de-grable and sustainable. Now-a-day’s trend of in general is to
replace petroleum product by the agricultural product. This is, one of commodity
which can replace one to one uses of petroleum product.
• Hydrogenated Castor Oil and Castor Oil Derivatives are Agro based Organic
synthetics chemicals having wide application in polishes, pharmaceuticals,
cosmetics, lubrication and coating & greases where resistance to moisture, oils &
other petrochemical products are required.
• The latest trend exhibits the demand within Nationals (20%) and International
levels (80%). The raw material for manufacturing the proposed products is easily
7-2 Prakruti
KGN Bio - Tech Ltd.
available in local Indian market, especially the proposed area, at competitive rate,
which is ultimately benefit to finish product to enter in Global market at
competitive position.
• North Gujarat is one of the leading producers of Castor seed and is proximately
located to the ports viz. Kandala, Mumbai and Dahej and an International Airport
at Ahmedabad.
• Due to value addition, over a larger supply chain happening at a single location,
the economics of scale become far more competitive. There would be greater
productivity in manufacturing operations, logistics and cost competitiveness while
the product is made available to exporters as well as domestic customers.

calcium. Silver and mercury form slightly soluble salts. Alcohol preciptates most sulfates out of solution.
Special Remarks on Corrosivity:
The rates of corrosion of iron and steel in water are a function of the specific mineral quality as well as the alkalinity and pH
values. Sodium sulfate ... is a strong contributor to the rate of corrosion. For example, in water with 400 mg/l of alkalinity (as
CaCO3) at pH 7, the corrosion rate will be zero at 200 mg/l of Na2SO4, but when the concentration of sodium sulfate is 400
mg/l, the corrosion rate will be about 100 mg per square cm per day.

3. Hazards Identification
Routes of Entry:
Skin Contact: Moderate Eye Contact: Moderate Ingestion: Major Inhalation: Major
Effects of Short-Term (Acute) Exposure:

Inhalation: Inhalation of high airborne concentrations can also irriate mucous membranes, cause
headaches, sleepiness, nausea, confusion, loss of consciousness, digestive and visual
disturbances and even death. NOTE: Odour threshhold of methanol is several times higher than
the TLV-TWA. Depending upon severity of poisoning and the promptness of treatment, survivors
may recover completely or may have permanent blindness, vision disturbances and/or nervous
system effects. Concentrations in air exceeding 1000 ppm may cause irritation of the mucous
membranes.
Skin Contact: Methanol is moderately irritating to the skin. Methanol can be absorbed through
the skin and harmful effects have been reported by this route of entry. Effects are simialr to those
described in “Inhalation”
Eye Contact: Methanol is a mild to moderate eye irritant. High vapour concentration or liquid
contact with eyes causes irritation, tearing and burning.
Ingestion: Swallowing even small amounts of methanol could potentially cause blindness or
death. Effects of sub lethal doses may be nausea, headache, abdominal pain, vomiting and visual
disturbances ranging from blurred vision to light sensitivity.
Effects of Long-Term (Chronic) Exposure: Repeated exposure by inhalation or absorption may

cause systemic poisoning, brain disorders, impaired vision and blindness. Inhalation may worsen
conditions such as emphysema or bronchitis. Repeated skin contact may cause dermal irritation,
dryness and cracking.
Medical Conditions Aggravated By Exposure: Emphysema or bronchitis.
4. First Aid Measures

Note: Emergency assistance may also be available from the local poison control centre.
Eye Contact: Remove contact lenses if worn. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with
plenty of clean running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting the upper and lower eyelids
occasionally. Obtain medical attention.
Skin Contact: In case of contact, remove contaminated clothing. In a shower, wash affected
areas with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation occurs or
persists. Wash clothing before reuse.
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, restore or assist breathing if necessary. Obtain medical
attention.
Ingestion: Swallowing methanol is potentially life threatening. Onset of symptoms may be

delayed for 18 to 24 hours after digestion. If conscious and medical aid is not immediately

Methanol
available, do not induce vomiting. In actual or suspected cases of ingestion, transport to medical
facility immediately.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Acute exposure to methanol, either through ingestion or breathing high
airborne concentrations can result in symptoms appearing between 40 minutes and 72 hours
after exposure. Symptoms and signs are usually limited to CNS, eyes and gastrointestinal tract.
Because of the initial CNS’s effects of headache, vertigo, lethargy and confusion, there may be
an impression of ethanol intoxication. Blurred vision, decreased acuity and photophobia are
common complaints. Treatment with ipecac or lavage is indicated in any patient presenting within
two hours of ingestion. A profound metabolic acidosis occurs in severe poisoning and serum
bicarbonate levels are a more accurate measure of severity than serum methanol levels.
Treatment protocols are available from most major hospitals and early collaboration with
appropriate hospitals is recommended.
5. Fire Fighting Measures

Flash point: 11oC (TCC)
Autoignition temperature: 385 oC (NFPA 1978), 470 oC (Kirk-Othmer 1981;
Ullmann 1975)
Lower Explosive Limit: 6% (NFPA, 1978)
Upper Explosion Limit: 36% (NFPA, 1978), 36.5% (Ullmann, 1975)
Sensitivity to Impact: Low
Sensitivity to Static Discharge: Low
Hazardous Combustion Products: Toxic gases and vapours; oxides of carbon and
formaldehyde.
Extinguishing Media: Small fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray
Large fires: Water spray, AFFF(R) (Aqueous Film Forming Foam (alcohol
resistant)) type with either a 3% or 6% foam proportioning system.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Methanol burns with a clean clear flame that is almost invisible in
daylight. Stay upwind! Isolate and restrict area access. Concentrations of greater that 25%
methanol in water can be ignited. Use fine water spray or fog to control fire spread and cool
adjacent structures or containers. Contain fire control water for later disposal. Fire fighters must
wear full face, positive pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or airline and appropriate
protective clothing. Protective fire fighting structural clothing is not effective protection from
methanol. Do not walk through spilled product.
NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) HAZARD INDEX:

HEALTH: 1
FLAMMABILITY: 3
REACTIVITY: 0
6. Accidental Release Measures

Overview: Flammable liquid which can burn without a visible flame. Release can cause an
immediate risk of fire and explosion. Eliminate all ignition sources, stop leak and use absorbent
materials. If necessary, contain spill by diking. Fluorocarbon alcohol resistant foams may be
applied to spill to diminish vapour and fire hazard. Maximize methanol recovery for recycling or
re-use. Restrict access to area until completion of cleanup. Ensure cleanup is conducted by

Methanol
trained personnel only. Wear adequate personal protection and remove all sources of ignition.
Notify all governmental agencies as required by law.
Personal Protection: Full face, positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus or airline,
and protective clothing must be worn. Protective fire fighting structural clothing is not effective
protection from methanol.
Environmental Precautions: Biodegrades easily in water Methanol in fresh or salt water may
have serious effects on aquatic life. A study on methanol’s toxic efffects on sewage sludge
bacteria reported little effect on digestion at 0.1% while 0.5% methanol retarded digestion.
Methanol will be broken down to carbon dioxide and water.
Remedial Measures: Flammable liquid. Release can cause an immediate fire/explosion hazard.
Eliminate all sources of ignition, stop leak and use absorbent materials. Collect liquid with
explosion proof pumps. Do not walk through spill product as it may be on fire and not visible.
Large Spills: If necessary, contain spill by diking. Fluorocarbon alcohol resistant foams may be
applied to spill to diminish vapour and fire hazard. Maximize methanol recovery for recycling or
reuse. Collect liquid with explosion proof pumps.
Small Spills: Soak up spill with non-combustible absorbent material. Recover methanol and dilute
with water to reduce fire hazard. Prevent spilled methanol from entering sewers, confined spaces,
drains, or waterways. Restict access to unprotected personnel. Full. Put material in suitable,
covered, labeled containers. Flush area with water.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling Procedures: No smoking or open flame in storage, use or handling areas. Use
explosion proof electrical equipment. Ensure proper electrical grouding procedures are in place.
Storage: Store in totally enclosed equipment, designed to avoid ignition and human contact.
Tanks must be grounded, vented, and should have vapour emission controls. Tanks must be
diked. Avoid storage with incompatible materials. Anhydrous methanol is non-corrosive to most
metals at ambient temperatures except for lead, nickel, monel, cast iron and high silicon iron.
Coatings of copper (or copper alloys), zinc (including galvanized steel), or aluminum are
unsuitable for storage. These materials may be attacked slowly by the methanol. Storage tanks of
welded construction are normally satisfactory. They should be designed and built in conformance
with good engineering practice for the material being stored. While plastics can be used for short
term storage, they are generally not recommended for long-term storage due to deterioration
effects and the subsequent risk of contamination.
Corrosion rates for several construction materials:
<0.508 mm/year Cast iron, monel, lead, nickel

<0.051 mm/year High silicon iron
Some attack Polyethylene
Satisfactory Neoprene, phenolic resins, polyesters, natural rubber, butyl rubber
Resistant Polyvinyl chloride, unplasticized
8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: In confined areas, local and general ventilation should be provided to
maintain airborne concentrations beloew permissable exposure limits. Ventilation systems must
be designed according to approved engineering standards.

Methanol
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved supplied air respirator when airborne concentrations
exceed exposure limits.
Skin protection: Butyl and nitrile rubbers are recommended for gloves. Check with
manufacturer. Wear chemical resistant pants and jackets, preferably of butyl or nitrile rubber.
Check with manufacturer.
Eye and Face Protection: Face shield and chemical splash goggles when transferring is taking
place.
Footwear: Chemical resistant, and as specified by the workplace.
Other: Eyewash and showers should be located near work areas. NOTE: PPE must not be
considered a long-term solution to exposure control. PPE usage must be accompanied by
employer programs to properly select, maintain, clean, fit and use. Consult a competent industrial
hygiene resource to determine hazard potential and/or the PPE manufacturers to ensure
aadequate protection.

Symptoms of Exposure:
Inhalation: High concentrations of hydrogen so as to exclude an adequate supply of
oxygen to the lungs causes dizziness, deeper breathing due to air hunger, possible
nausea and eventual unconsciousness.
Toxicological Properties:
• Hydrogen is inactive biologically and essentially nontoxic; therefore, the major
property is the exclusion of an adequate supply of oxygen to the lungs.
• Hydrogen is not listed in the IARC, NTP or by OSHA as a carcinogen or potential
carcinogen.
• Persons in ill health where such illness would be aggravated by exposure to
hydrogen should not be allowed to work with or handle this product.

Special Handling Recommendation:

Use only in well-ventilated areas. Valve protection caps must remain in place unless
container is secured with valve outlet piped to use point. Do not drag, slide or roll
cylinders. Use a suitable hand truck for cylinder movement. Use a pressure reducing
regulator when connecting cylinder to lower pressure (<3,000 psig) piping or systems.
Do not heat cylinder by any means to increase the discharge rate of product from the
cylinder. Use a check valve or trap in the discharge line to prevent hazardous back flow
into the cylinder. For additional handling recommendations, consult Compressed Gas
Association’s Pamphlets G-5, P-1, P-14, and Safety Bulletin SB-2.
Special Storage Recommendations:
Protect cylinders from physical damage. Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area of I
noncombustible construction away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits.
Do not allow the temperature where cylinders are stored to exceed 125F (52C).
Cylinders should be stored upright and firmly secured to prevent falling or being knocked
over. Full and empty cylinders should be segregated. Use a “first in -first out” inventory
system to prevent full cylinders being stored for excessive periods of time. Post “No
Smoking or Open Flames” signs in the storage or use area. There should be no sources
of ignition in the storage or use area. For additional storage recommendations, consult
Compressed Gas Association’s Pamphlets G-5, P-1, P-14, and Safety Bulletin SB-2.
Other Recommendations or Precautions:

Earth-ground and bond all lines and equipment associated with the hydrogen system.
Electrical equipment should be non-sparking or explosion proof. Compressed gas
cylinders should not be refilled except by qualified producers of compressed gases.
Shipment of a compressed gas cylinder which has not been filled by the owner or with
his (written) consent is a violation of Federal Law (49CFR).
Special Packaging Recommendations:

Hydrogen is non-corrosive and may be used with any common structural material.
