PELLETISATION PLANT (2 X 0.4 MILLION TPA CAPACITY)

Manufacturing Process of Pelletisation Plant

The grinding process is adopted to improve granularity constitution of

concentrated iron ore and make material fully blended and grinded so that it
can be suitable for palletizing. The sophisticated disc palletizer is adopted to
reduce circulating load and improve utilization efficiency.

The characteristic of grate-annular cooler production process is as follows:

(1) Drying and preheating roasting and cooling proceed in grate kiln and
annular cooler respectively so its equipment is sample and reliable and
product quality is even.

(2) The equipment of roasting system with high adaptability to raw material
can be individually controlled and flexibly regulated.

(3) The consumption of fuel is low and power low as well.

The advanced air flow system is adopted, which fully reclaim-and utilize
sensible heat of high-heat flue gas from annular cooler reduce heat rate of
pellet with maximum utilization of heat energy. The main production process is
controlled by PLC with high automatically. Exhaust gas with dust is purified
and discharged by static de-duster to protect environment. Returned material
and dust arrested are sent to stock yard and damp mill so as to resources can
be fully re-utilized.

PRODUCTION FLOW AND WORKSHOP CONSTITUTION:

Main Workshop:

The main workshop of this pellet production line stockyard proportioning room
drying room damp mill room pelletizer room grate oven building (including
screening and distribution of green pellets), rotary kiln annular cooler air flow
system spillage return system (including spillage lifting) fuel preparation room.

15
Stockyard and Proportioning System

A stockyard has storage capacity sufficient amount of concentrated iron

ore. Concentrate iron ore piled open in the stock yard and is delivered to a
receiving bin by the help of shovel cars. It is then extracted from the bottom
part of the bin with the help of vibrating feeder, and then transported into
proportioning bunkers by a reversible belt conveyer. There are two
bentonite receiving bin in the stock yard and 4 proportioning bunkers for
concentrate iron ore. The bentonite is charged by man. The four nos. of
concentrate proportioning bunkers can store iron ore for 8 hour usage. Two
bentonite bin with the capacity of 15 m3 can store usage. Under these
concentrate bunkers, belt scales are equipment for feed proportioning and
by means of frequency speed control of the belt, feed amount of
concentrate iron ore can be regulated. Under the bentonite bin, a weighing
machine is mounted for batching. The speed ratio is controlled by
computer.

Drying Room:
This is a drum like structure of dimension 3x20 m for drying purpose.
Mixture of proportioned concentrate and bentonite is sent to drier drum for
the purpose of heating and drying with the help of flue gas with temperature
of 700°C supplied by a combustion furnace. After heating the end gas with
a temperature of 1200°C is discharged through the chimney. The initial
water content of the mixture is about 11.0% and after drying it comes to
7.0~8.0%.

The dried mixture is then discharged through a chute to a belt conveyer, and
then transported to damp grinding room. The drier has normal processing
capacity of 90 tons per hour.

Grinding Room:
In normal state, the dried blended mix is distributed to belt conveyor by disc

16
feeder and conveyed to a blended bin located at damp mill room by belt
conveyer. Then it is filled into the damp mill through a charging conveyer for
mixing, homogenizing and grinding. The grinded material is transferred to a
pallefizin9 belt and then to a blending bin at palletizer house.

Palletiser House:
Dimension of palletiser house covers 15x34.4 m2• The mixture is sent to upper
part of the pelletiser house by belt conveyor then separately discharged to three
bins with level gauges. Each blended mix bin has an effective content of 60 m3
under them tight type belt conveyor are laid respective to 36.0 m disk palletiser.
The speed of tight type belt conveyor can be regulated by a frequency variable
controller, and their speed is matched with that of disk palletizer. Each palletiser
has a production capacity of 50 T/hr. Generally during normal operation two
sets are in operation and the third one is on standby. During palletizing an
amount of water is added to the mixture so that it can have optimal water
content for palletizing. Green pellets from the palletizer are collected and
shipped to screening and distribution system through palletisation belt.

Grate Oven Building:

The green pellets screening & distribution system is composed of spillage
return conveyor. The shaking conveyor evenly distributes the green pellets
transferred by palletisation belt to the conveyor oversize ball roll screen. The
oversize green pellets (>16mm) on the screen are gathered by return conveyer
and transferred to blending bin in palletizer house for re-palletizing. The green
pellets below 16mm in size are transferred to the roller conveyer screen by the
frequency controlled wide belt. Through these two screens, green pellets
between 8-16mm in size are distributed onto receiving area of the oven,
However the pellets below 8mm under the roller conveyer screen are gathered
by return conveyer for re-palletizing.

Grate oven
The plant building for grate oven covers 14 x 59 m2 and the effective width and
length of grate oven is respectively 2.8m and 36m, the depth of pellets

17
distribution on the grate oven bed is 120-180mm. The grate oven is divided into
four chambers from inside with whole preheating section I, II.

Blast drying section I

In this section circling hot air is at about 150°C. Mixed air is blast through pellet
bed, so that circulating hot air at dewatered and get dried. The main heat
source is wasting heat from section III of annular cooler. The air can be give out
directly a lot of steam and mini-dust.

Downdraft drying section

In this section circling hot air at about 300°C mixed with air is downdrafted
through pellet bed so that the green pellets are dried further. The main heat
source is wasting hot air from preheating section I, II. The wasting hot air collect
main pipes in the side blast box and the give through static de-duster, main
draught fan and chimney.

Preheating section I
The hot air from annular cool section II connects the preheating section I by hot
air pipe. The lacking heat is supplies by hot air from preheating section II to get
the hot air temperature of 900°C.

h)
This preheats the pellet from the downdraft section. The wasting hot air is
collected by collecting main pipe in the side blast box and into

Preheating section II

In the preheating section II, pellets are further heated under hot air of 1100°C,
at the same time partially become hardened. These partial hardened pellets
can bear the impact of drifting-down from grate oven to rotary kiln, and will not
break during rotation of the kiln. Heat sources in this section comes from hot
flue of the kiln tail, end the lacking heat is supplied hood of the section, a flue
and a relief valve are fixed for the lacking heat is supplied hood of the section,
a flue or additional burner. Over the top part of furnace hood of the section, a
flue and a relief valve are fixed for baking furnaces and emergency operation.
18
Green pellets dried and preheated totally about 28 minutes, with enough
strength, are sent into the rotary kiln by way of a shovel and a chute at tail end
of the kiln.

Rotary kiln

The kiln is supported by 2 lintel girders. Compound precast bricks and high
strength heat insulation castable are resistance to wear and thermal insulation,
which can decrease temperature of the kiln's surface and extend its working
life.

The preheated pellets are loaded at feed end of rotary kiln by a shovel and
chute. A special designed collapsible spray gun is mounted at kiln discharge.
Combustion intensity and flame profile can be regulated by means of extension
and contraction of the collapsible spray gun as well as adjustment of blast
volume. Roasting temperature in the kiln is 13001350 °C and rotating speed
and position of the kiln can be controlled. The discharge hood is sealed by a
device, which is protected by a structural cooling blower.

Annular cooler

The baked and roasted pellets from rotary kiln, fall into the receiving bin
(capacity-50m3) of annular cooler through the kiln discharge hood. And then
leveled off on pellets cars of the annular cooler by help of a roller pusher and
cooled by air blast. Its processing capacity is 80t/h, while its cooling time is
around 45 minutes at a normal depth of 680-760 mm of pellets. The annular
cooler is divided into three cooling sections, each equipped with cooling fans,
partition wall and the receiving bin.

The fume hood of the cooler is divided into four areas. In the area i.e. blowe air
to chills the pellets and its heated to 1000-1100°C then directly returns to the
rotary kiln through the kiln discharge hood over the receiving bin and the
parallel fume duct. This hot fume is used to increase temperature and oxygen
content of kiln and change the flame profile from the spray gun. In the second
area, i.e. section II cold blasted and further cools the section I at the same time.

19
The temperature increases to 400-600°C then is right led to drying section I of
the grate oven via a hot air pipe, for further drying and preheating of green
pellets. In section II & IV, the pellets should be cooled to 1500°C and collected
by a buffer bin and then sent out by a heat resistant belt conveyer. Air
temperature in cooling section III is 35000C and is introduced to Drying
Section. Air temperature in cooling section is at 90-100 °C and fume is directly
freed through the chimney of the annular cooler. Blast volume of blowers is
automatically adjusted by a throttle installed in the blast inlet, which is used to
control hot air temperature, so that the most part of heat volume recovered
from pellet cooling can be utilized for palletizing production process.

Air flow system

The air flow system of roasting system including: cool blower hot air circling
and hot air disposal. Circling cool air is the main air source. The air cool the
hot pellets, on the annular cooler and become hot. This hot air from annular
cooler section 1 is used as the second air of rotary kiln and lead to rotary kiln
through hot air pipe directly.

The hot air from annular cooler section II lead to great oven preheating
section I. 'Hot air circling' is the process in which waste hot air grate oven
preheating section I, II to blower drying section and downdraught drying is that
wasting hot air of downdraught drying section give out through static de-
duster and main draught fan and chimney. The dust content off wasting hot air
is less than 50mg/Nm3, the dust collected by multi-cyclone and static de-
duster is returned to damp mill room through spillage system.

The materials conveyer by spillage includes dust collected by process de-

duster and environment de-duster, dust collected by grate oven dust box,
broken and Jacking pellet collected by lower grate bed lacking pellet under
scriber plate, dust collected by charging & discharge end of rotary kiln. The
spillage will regrind in damp mill room through scrape and heat-resistant belt
conveyer and make ball again. Dust lacking pellets, broken pellets are
collected from side blast boxes. Lower grate bed and end funnels, then sent
to a duty vibration sieve for grading. Over 8mm pellets will be delivered to the
20
kiln charge chute by a heat resistant bucket elevator .

Fuel:
The various types of fuels like liquid, solid and gaseous fuels are available as
a heating source in industrial use. The selection of right type of fuel depends
on various factors such as availability, storage, handling, pollution and landed
cost of fuel. Keeping the pollution status of proposed Pelletisation plant, Coal
Gas has been selected as heating fuel in the process. The knowledge of the
fuel properties helps in selecting the right fuel for the right purpose and
efficient use of the fuel.

Storage of Coal I Furnace Oil

Coal will be stored in covered shed with pucca platform. Bag filter will be provided to
control the fugitive emission.

It can be potentially hazardous to store furnace oil in barrels. A better practice is to store it
in cylindrical tanks, either above or below the ground. Furnace oil, that is delivered, may
contain dust, water and other contaminants.

The sizing of storage tank facility is very important. A recommended storage

estimate is to provide for at least 10 days of normal consumption. Industrial
heating fuel storage tanks are generally vertical mild steel tanks mounted
above ground. It is prudent for safety and environmental reasons to build bund
walls around tanks to contain accidental spillages.

As a certain amount of settlement of solids and sludge will occur in tanks over
time, cleaning should be carried out at regular intervals annually for fuels. A
little care should be taken when oil is decanted from the tanker to storage tank.
All leaks from joints, flanges and pipelines must be attended at the earliest.
Fuel oil should be free from possible contaminants such as dirt, sludge and
water before it is fed to the combustion system.

The physical properties and chemical composition of the raw material and fuel
used in production, and those of finished product must be checked in
21
accordance with those items list.

The following are the major raw material required for the manufacturing of
Iron Ore Pellets.

1) Raw Material- Hematite Iron Ore fines

2) Binding Material - Bentonite.
3) Coal.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION CONSIDERATION

Every industry creates pollution up to certain extent. Raw material handling,
finished product handling industrial process becomes sources of pollution.
Environmental considerations, therefore, have a major bearing in the planning of
any project.

SOURCES OF POLLUTION
The major sources of pollution from a project can be classified under the following
heads:

Pollutants in the waste gases namely, suspended particulate matter (SPM),

sulphur dioxide, NOx, Carbon Monoxide & Hydrocarbons (HC) etc

Fugitive dust generated during solid fuel handling and processing.Fugitive dust
generated during conveying, storage and disposal etc.

Thermal pollution

Noise pollution

Waste water and sewage

The various measures proposed to mitigate the impact of these pollution sources
on the environment are discussed below:

33
POLLUTION CONTROL MEASURES AIR POLLUTION
High efficiency electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) will be installed to limit the
particulate emission to 50 mg/Nm3 in line with the State Govt. Policy. To facilitate wider
dispersion of remaining particulates and gaseous pollutants (SO2 and NOX), a chimney of
suitable height will be provided. The chimney will be provided with personal
access for monitoring of stack emissions.

For control of fugitive dust emissions within and around the raw material handling and
finished product handling areas, dust extraction and suppression systems would be

provided. Dust suppression system shall be installed at all requisite points in the plant.

WATER POLLUTION
An effluent management scheme, consisting of collection, treatment,
recirculation and disposal of effluents, shall be implemented in order to optimize
the make up water requirement as well as liquid effluent generation. The details
of water system for the project is described as follows:

• Neutralization of D.M. plant regeneration waste and disposal through;

Central Monitoring Basln.

• Recirculation type C.W. system with induced draft cooling towers, with
C.W. blow down from cold water side to ensure that there is no thermal
pollution.

• Filling firewater storage tanks.

NOISE POLLUTION
The major noise generating sources are those pumps, fans, handling plant etc.
from where noise is continuously generated. Acoustic enclosures shall be
provided wherever required to control the noise level below 75 dB (A). Wherever
it is not possible technically to meet the required noise levels, the personal
protection appliances shall be provided.

34
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The solid waste management scheme for solid waste generated from project
shall involve collection, supply to entrepreneurs for utilization, promoting solid
waste utilization and safe disposal.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Air Environment

The installation of plant during construction phase would result in the increase of
SPM concentrations due to fugitive dust. Frequent water sprinkling in the vicinity of
the construction sites would be undertaken and will be continued after the
completion of plant construction, as there is scope for heavy truck mobility. It will be
ensured that both gasoline and diesel powered vehicles are properly maintained to
comply with exhaust emission requirements.

Noise Environment
There will be marginal increase in noise levels during construction phase, which is
temporary. No construction activities are planned during night time, which may
contribute to the existing baseline.

Water Environment

During construction, provrston for infra-structural services including water supply,

sewage, drainage facilities and electrification will be made. The existing toilet
facilities will be available for the workers to allow proper standards of hygiene.
These facilities are connected to a septic tank and soak pits. Waste water drainage
system of the plant is well connected to the sewerage channel.

Land Environment
Generally cutting of herbaceous vegetation, during the construction phase results in
35
the loosening of the top soil. There is no such removal of vegetation in the proposed
site. Further plantation measures would help in preventing soil erosion.

Any hazardous material required for constructional activity will be sorted as per
safety norms. Further construction site will be provided with suitable toilet and
treatment facilities etc for maintaining hygienic conditions.

Socio-economic Environment
Any construction activity will benefit the local population in a number of ways. The
company management shall give preference to local people through both direct and
indirect employment. It shall provide ample opportunity to the locals to up-lift their
living standards by organizing events that propagate mutual benefits to all, such as
health camps, awareness campaigns, donations to poorer sections of society and
downtrodden. Educational needs of the region should be improved by encouraging
the workers to allow their children to attend schools. Sufficient funds shall be
allocated for these and other emergency needs. Compensation packages to the kin
of those workers who loose I disable their working ability due to any accident.

Safety and Health

Adequate space will be provided for construction of temporary sheds for
construction workers for rest purpose. M/s. Vandana Global Limited. Raipur will
supply potable water for the construction workers. The safety department will
supervise the safe working of the contractor and their employees. Work spots will be
maintained clean, provided with optimum lighting and enough ventilation to eliminate
dust/fumes. A comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety management plan is
put in place to address any sort of eventuality.

OPERATIONAL PHASE

Air Environment
The dust generated from the various conveyors points, crushing etc, will be
controlled by covering the conveyor belt and approaching the transfer points

36
and then installing one centralized dust extraction system which extract all the
dust from various points. These dust later be trapped by ESP .

Noise Environment

The following are the noise control measures proposed to be undertaken in the
proposed plant.

• Provision of acoustic dampeners in foundations and insulators at high noise

producing equipments and machnies,

• A thick greenbelt will be developed all around the plant boundary to act as
noise attenuator.

• In addition personnel working near high noise level generating sources will
be provided with ear muffs.

• Proper and suitable acoustic barrier will also be provided around areas
generating high noise to maintain noise levels below 90 dB (A).

• Effective preventive maintenance and vibration measurement of all rotating

equipment will help in the improvement of plant life and also noise
reduction.

• Automatic door enclosures for control room and laboratory etc

Water and Wastewater Management

An effluent management plan will be implemented with collection, treatment,
recirculation and disposal of effluents. Rain water will is collected and
recharged through a recharge tank .

• Storm rain water drainage will be routed through a silting tank, for arresting
of silt. Rain water will be used during the rains for the purpose of the plant
water requirement.
37
An independent plant affluent drainage system is proposed to ensure that
plant effluent doesn't contaminate storm water drains. After individual
treatment of effluents, these will be disposed off through a central monitoring
basin. Efficient operation of various treatment schemes will be ensured to
conform quality of treated effluents to relevant discharge standards.

The sewage from plant will be directed to STP. The capacity of STP will be
adequate and the treated effluent would be either utilised for plantation
purposes or will be discharged.

Storm Water Management

Underground sewers are preferable to collect the storm waters, storm waters
of open road drains are often misused as open sewers for the discharge of
industrial and domestic wastewater and as well as dumps for disposal of solid
wastes. Further more, it creates obstacle to the access of industries.

In general, the storm water run-off is often polluted through dust, garbage and
unprotected solid wastes. Hence, primary treatment in setting tanks is
essential in order to minimize the pollution to a significant level before the
disposal of these waters into natural environment.

Rainwater Harvesting
Underground sewers are preferable to collect the storm waters, storm waters
of open road drains are often misused as open sewers for the discharge of
industrial and domestic wastewater and as well as dumps for disposal of solid
wastes. Rainwater Harvesting technique will be adopted by the industry as per
guideline of the MoEF and CGWB.

Solid Waste Management

The disposal of solid waste is planned by utilising safe and scientific procedures its
handling, storage and disposal activities. Solid waste generated will be disposed

safely through a well planned handling and cisposal management plan.

38
Few measures are further elaborated below, which would promote sustainable
development in this expansion activity.

i. Water blanket will be maintained over material heaps, and other dust

ii. Thick green belt will be developed all around the periphery of the plant and
some free areas within the premises so as to reduce the pollution and improve
the aesthetics of the area.

iii. Adoption of good house-keeping measures shall be the company's

commitment for a pollution free environment. One of the measures that is
proposed by the company is to install a separate electric energy meter for
monitoring the electrical consumption of ESP and its statistics shall be made
available on monthly basis for any energy audits in future.

Green Belt Development

The plan for attenuation of the noise and air pollutant levels includes design for
plantations around the plant boundary, roadside, office buildings and stretches
of open land. The vegetation for the attenuation of air pollution shall be most
needed in the areas where ground level concentrations of the pollutant are to
be highest. 33% plantation will be carried out, by consultation with DFO
Bilaspur of State Forest Department according to guideline of MoEF and
CPCB.

Occupational Safety & Health Management

The proponent will provide all necessary provisions stipulated under The
Factories Act. In addition a Safety committee has been formed and manned by
equal participants from Management and Workers. Personnel Protection
equipment (PPE) is being issued to each worker. Other safety equipments shall
be used according to the nature of job involved. A detailed structure of risk
analysis is already presented in previous sections in this chapter.

39
POST OPERATIONAL MONITORING PROGRAM
Regular monitoring of pollutants in different environmental disciplines like air,
water, noise etc will be conducted for proposed units and the data will be
regularly submitted to Chhattisgarh Environmental Conservation Board.

INSTITUTIONAL SET-UP
The post operational monitoring program will be under the supervision of the
Environmental Management Group (EM G) at the project site. The EMG at site
will interact with state Environment Conservation Board for all environmental
related issues during operation of the station.

STATUTORY CLEARANCES
A comprehensive study is in process to prepare Environmental Impact
Assessment report for this project. After receipt for No Objection Certificate
from Chhattisgarh Environmental Conservation Board, Ministry of
Environmental & Forests will be approached for obtaining Environmental
Clearance. This will be in accordance with the procedure laid down in the EIA
Notification 2006 and its subsequent amendments.

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES
The plant and facilities will be designed, engineered, manufactured, tested,
erected and commissioned ensuring compliance to international standards
and incorporating state of the art technology. Quality assurance programs will
be implemented meticulously to ensure high quality for the equipments and
systems. At every stage right from the selection of raw materials till
conductance of performance guarantee tests, inspection shall be carried out
at every stage of manufacture and tests such as type tests and routine tests
will be carried out on the components, equipment and systems so as to
ensure that the plant will give integrated optimal performance. While it is not
the intent to elaborate all the inspection, testing and performance guarantee
40
tests involved, the following specific guarantees will be adhered to:

a. Design of plant and equipment as per Indian and or international

applicable standard like ISO, ASME, ASTM, IEC, DIN, JIS standards
etc.

MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
With a view to build up to required expertise and institute the best maintenance
practices, initially for the first few years, major overhauls and maintenance of
major equipments will be carried out directly by the respective equipment
manufacturers or their licensed representative. The overhaul and maintenance
procedures will then be tuned suitably to have an optimal customized
maintenance system for the equipment and systems covered under the plant.
The maintenance procedure aims at maximizing the availability of generating
units while ensuring minimum maintenance cost and safety of plant and
personnel.

HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT

This chapter deals with assessment of manpower required for the proposed plant:

Looking to the automation with advanced technology, the manpower would be

quit limited. The estimated manpower requirement is indicated as below.

TRAINING
Depending on the level and experience of O&M staff, training programs will be
designed and implemented by contractor in association with O&M contractor and
the owner. The covered includes the following:

- The Training at manufacturer's works

- Training at operating plants in India and abroad where similar equipment are in

42
operation.

- Maintenance training.

- Simulator training.

- Workshops.

In high-tech areas including environment monitoring etc., special training

programs will be arranged for imparting right exposure and building up expertise.

TRAINING POLICY:
An appropriate training policy would be adopted at the outset aiming to fulfill the
main objectives of improving the organizational efficiency & effectiveness as a
whole and also to maintain a high technological status and develop an
understanding of the importance of cooperation & teamwork.

AFFORESTATION
The project envisages a good quantum of afforestation glvmg it the highest
priority to maintain as a pollution free area as far as possible. Afforestation and
green belt development activities would be implemented in a massive way for
which specific land is also separately proposed. Extensive plantation program will
be commenced right from the procurement of the land so that the trees are
appreciably grown up till the plant is commissioned.

Green belt has been considered to be one of the major components of

Environment Maintenance Practice (EMP). The site preparation does not need of
felling trees as the site is covered with negligible bushes and shrubs and is
already within existing plant premises. However, the industry will develop green
belt which will further enhance environmental quality through; mitigation of fugitive
emissions, attenuation of noise levels, balancing Eco-environment, consumption
of treated effluent prevention of soil erosion, and creation of aesthetic
environment. It is proposed to develop green belt/forestation for about 330/0 of
land.

43
Factors for selection of plant species for green belt development; fast growing,
perennial and ever green, thick canopy cover, large leaf area index, resistant to
specific air pollutants, preferably indigenous, will maintain regional ecological
balance and soil and hydrological conditions of the region. The species to be
planted will be selected based on the available land soil quality and the quantum
of water available. The following aspects would be considered in the placement of
plants.

(i) Trees growing up to two meters or more in height with thick canopy cover
and perennial foliage will be planted around the installation.

(ii) Planting of trees will be done is rows (minimum three rows) while planting
trees care will be taken so that the green envelop would conceal the installation
when observed from outside the premises. For preventing the horizontal
dispersion pollutants if any, the trees planted in alternative row will fall in straight
line.

(iii) Trees will be planted on roadside for vehicular traffic emissions.

(iv) Sensitive species like magnifera indica will be planted in patches along the
entire green belt to work as an indicator of pollution potential.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
The project provides full opportunity for local people/village to get employment
directly or indirectly and helps in the up-liftment of socioeconomic status of the
area, which is one of the most essential factors. The project envisages
involvement of social activities of the surrounding community by planning
betterment of neighboring social conditions through awareness and welfare
programs that will ensure improved relations. The commitment of management
includes upIiftment of social, health, basic needs of drinking water supply and
provision of educational facilities. Many of the beneficiaries of such programs
shall include own employees as well. Goodwill of the local population can never
be ignored. The channels employed may vary either through direct contact or by
means of local organizations. Another important fact of social environment
identified by the project proponents is a green appearance; hence the
44
management will develop a green belt towards aesthetic beautification, as the
same is necessary to be considered as a responsible, social neighbor.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Project management covering various aspects of the project will be implemented
following appropriate systems for which experienced Personal and suitable
management tools specially developed for the purpose will be deployed. The
project management activities are ammged in phases and accordingly project co-
ordination procedures will be developed in association with contractor.
Computerized systems with advanced software will he followed for materials
management, cost control, budgetary control, finance management, scheduling,
resource allocation, monitoring etc. An integrated project management and
control system is envisaged for the project planning, scheduling, monitoring and
control. This system encompasses all areas of engineering management,
contract, management, construction and commissioning management. This
system would envisage development of a master network, which is the overall
program of the project.

procedure, which shall follow the model of ISO 9000. The apex document for
the Quality Management shall be a Quality program which shall cover system
& procedure for various activities which may have effect on Quality like design
control, document and data control, document and data control, process
control inspection and testing,corrective and preventive actions, quality audit,
control of document and records etc.

This Quality program will include detailed quality control plans for major
equipment & services and it will ensure that the equipment & services under
the scope of contract whether manufactured or performed within the
contractor's works or subcontractor's works or at site, are in accordance with
the contract specification, codes and standards, statutory requirements, etc.

46
CONTRACTOR
The contractor will have dedicated team headed by a Project Manager who
will be the chief coordinator for the Project, and will be responsible for the
project execution. The project ream of Contractor will have sufficient
technical personnel for various areas like engineering, procurement,
execution, quality, finance etc. to co-ordinate all matters pertaining to the
Project.

In addition the contractor will maintain a site organization headed by a site

construction manager for all site operations. The organization at site will cover
various levels of experts for execution of all works in the areas of Mechanical.
Electrical, Control & Instrumentation, Quality Assurance etc., during
construction, erection and commissioning of the Project.

The Civil works contractor will carry out all civil works required for the project
including all detailed design work. However EPC contractor will carry out the
basic design.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

The maintenance of a healthy and safe working environment regarded as a
major mutual objective for management and employees at all levels. We
believe that every accident can be prevented and aim to achieve the highest
possible standard in safety and health with an ultimate goal of zero accidents.
To achieve the above objective, construction management will encompass a
comprehensive health, safety and environment management systems, which
includes followings major activities.

• Ensuring all safety features in the equipment, system and layout in the
design stage itself.

• Identification of all site hazards and assessment of risks.

• Safety meetings, safety training and safety drills.

• Safety inspections and auditing.

47
 • Preparation of site emergency plans I Disaster Management Plan.

• Safe storage and handling of hazardous materials .

• Clearing and disposal of all combustible wastes generated at site.

• Arrangement of fire protection system and maintenance.

• Inspection and maintenance of all electrical installation.

• Usage of Safety equipments.

• Accident reporting and analysis procedures.

• Establishment of first aid post with necessary facilities. _

• Health screening and recording system.

The Construction management system will include development of a

comprehensive environmental management plan in the construction phase of
the project. This will deal with both planned and unplanned occurrences.

Specific areas of control during construction and commission will include

correct disposal of any wastewater, control of oil spills, control of noise
emission, control of dust emission etc. . The contractor will be responsible
through various measures including appropriate provisions in the contract, for
discharging their safety obligations. Area covered under construction safety
includes various areas of civil construction, mechanical erection, electrical etc.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rashi Steel and Power Limited are planning to have a system of rainwater harvesting at
village Paraghat and Beltukri, district Bilaspur, Chhattisgarh. Rainwater harvesting is
primarily dependent on various site characteristics such as soil property, catchments
characteristics; rainfall characteristics, and ground water tables etc.

48
There are artificial as well as natural rainwater harvesting systems. The collecting system
can be implemented for i) Individual units and ii) Centralized collection system

Scheme I: Collection of rainwater harvesting from individual building units. Rainwater

falling on other open area is to be collected, through constructed drainage system and
discharge system and discharge to surface out-fall (by passed for rainwater harvesting)

Scheme II: Construction of rainwater filter bed at centralized place where water from
individual unit as well as storm water from open area shall be diverted

The reference is hydrological data of Bilaspur from the IMD. The maximum rainfall in july
in the year of 2011-12 is 300.3 mm. The yearly rainfall is 1041 mm in 2011-12 and 1100
mm is the average rainfall in the last five year from 2008 to 2012. 1,01,700 m3 maximum
water will be collected from the rain fall in the rain water harvesting pond in a month.

Approximately 3,52,899 m3 water will be collected from the rain fall in the rain water
harvesting pond, which will fulfill the 47 days requirement of the plant.

 PROJECT FINANCIAL, COST ESTIMATION ETC.

ESTIMATE OF PROJECT COST

The cost of the palletisation plant of proposed project is estimated on
the basis of the prevailing prices and rates and the estimation is for, the
installation of pallet facilities described in the earner sections with air and
water pollution control equipments. The estimates are derived by dividing the
total quantum of work into three categories, viz., civil works, electrical system
equipment & mechanical equipment no provision for escalation is considered.

The cost of the Iron Ore Palletisation Plant covers all the costs associated
with the construction of the plant, and includes the civil construction cost, cost of
equipment for production, cost of auxiliaries utilities. The total project cost is
arrived at by adding to this cost, the pre operative expenses inclusive of
project design and engineering, sa-t-up and training expenses, interest during
construction and the margin money to meet the working capital requirements. The
