PREFEASIBILITY REPORT

A. INTRODUCTION a. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT

M/s IndianOil Corporation Ltdhas set up a LPG Bulk Storage & Bottling Facility (Indane Bottling Plant) at S.F nos. B37/pt to B43/pt, B50/pt, B51/pt, C30 to 41 etc.at SIPCOT Industrial Growth Centre, Gangaikondan village, Tirunelveli Taluk &District, Tamil Nadu. LPG from M/s Indian Oil Petronas Pvt Ltd (Athipattu, Chennai) will be received through bullet trucks& stored in mounded bullets of capacity 3 x 600MT (total 1800MT). LPG will be pumped from storage bullets to filling shed where cylinders will be filled prior to dispatch through road. The current proposal has been submitted to Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change for issuance of Environmental Clearance for the Tirunelveli Indane BP of bulk LPG storage (1800MT) and the LPG throughput of 1,20,000MTPA through 2 LPG Filling Stations / Carousels each having 24 filling machines.

b. NATURE OF PROJECT

Indane Bottling Plant operates strictly as a storage & packing facility for LPG into 14.2kg, 19kg, 47.5kg & 85kg cylinders. No by-products / additional products are generated / manufactured during the operations. The project site falls within 5 km radius (aerial distance) of Gangaikondan Spotted Deer Sanctuary. Hence, the present proposal is classified under Schedule 6(b) & Category ‘A’ as per General Conditions listed in EIA Notification 2006 & subsequent amendments.

c. PROFILE OF PROJECT PROPONENT

Indian Oil Corporation Limited is an Indian state-owned oil and gas corporation with its headquarters in New Delhi, . It is the world's 88th largest corporation, according to the Fortune Global 500 list, and the largest public corporation in India when ranked by revenue. IndianOil is the highest ranked Indian company in the latest Fortune ‘Global 500’ listings, ranked at the 96th position. The company is mainly controlled by Government of India which owns approximately 79% shares in the company. It is one of the seven Maharatna status companies of India, apart from Coal India Limited, NTPC Limited, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, Steel Authority of India Limited, Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited and Gas Authority of India Limited.

PREFEASIBILITY REPORT

IndianOil and its subsidiaries account for a 49% share in the petroleum products market, 31% share in refining capacity and 67% downstream sector pipelines capacity in India. The IndianOil Group of companies owns and operates 10 of India's 22 refineries with a combined refining capacity of 65.7 million metric tonnes per year. In FY 2012 IOCL sold 75.66 million tonnes of petroleum products and reported a PBT of Rs.37.54 billion, and the Government of India earned an excise duty of Rs.232.53 billion and tax of INR10.68 billion. d. NEED FOR THE PROJECT & ITS IMPORTANCE

The present demand for packed LPG in Tamil Nadu is 780TMT as against the rated bottling capacity of 682TMTPA as on 1st April 2011. MOP&NG has mandated coverage of 75% population with LPG connection by the year 2014-15 including LPG connection in rural markets under RGGLV Scheme. The packed LPG demand projections in the State of Tamil Nadu are estimated to be 1051 TMT by the year 2014-15. Even after exhausting the available possibilities of additional capacity generation of 300 TPTMA in the Tirunelveli LPG Bottling Plants in Tamil Nadu, the available LPG capacity would not be sufficient to meet the increased demand of 1051 TMT during the year 2014-15. Therefore there is a requirement of setting up a new LPG Bottling Plant in the state of Tamil Nadu. Presently, there are no IOCL bottling plants in down south of , i.e. in the districts of Tirunelveli, Tuticorin, Kanyakumari and Nagercoil. There is a backlog at times during monsoon season and festival seasons. In order to overcome this problem, a bottling plant is very much necessary to be established in Tirunelveli to cater to the customers in the above districts so that there would not be a shortfall in supplies and customers will not be affected on any account. e. DESCRIPTION OF CURRENT PROPOSAL

Washing water generated from cylinder washing will be diverted to sedimentation trapsfitted with oil separator &clarified water will be reused for cylinder washing. The dimension of the sump is 2m x 1.5m x 1.5m.

c. FIRE FIGHTING & DISASTER MANAGEMENT MEASURES

M/s IOCL is classified as “Major Accident Hazard (MAH)” Installation under Manufacture, Storage & Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules 1989, 2000. Accordingly they have formulated & implemented On-site & Off-site Emergency Plans. The safety aspects taken into account during pipeline design are,

• Pipelines have been designed in accordance with the requirements of ASME B3.14 and OISD 141.

• Cathodic protection is provided for the pipelines to prevent external corrosion.

• Thickness of the pipeline as provided presently (6.4mm) is more than the calculated thickness (as per design). The calculated thickness is 2.17mm (inclusive of corrosion allowance) for the LPG pipelines.

Page 17

PREFEASIBILITY REPORT

• The pipelines are being provided with enhanced external corrosion 3LPE coating compared to the standard requirements of DIN 30670, which would significantly improve the in-filed performance of the coating. M/s IOCL have also conducted a Risk Assessment study. Findings & recommendations of the RA study have been summarized as follows,

• In mounded bullets, catastrophic failure will not take place. They are non-credible scenarios with a very low frequency of occurrence i.e. 1/106 years.

• Hazard distance due to road tanker catastrophic failure and unloading arm failure will not go beyond the plant boundary.

• The individual risk level of 1 x 10-6 /yr is limited to a distance of about 200m on either side of the pipeline corridor.

• Small holes when undetected may lead to large holes in the pipeline system. Large holes are associated with a very low frequency of occurrence and can be considered as rare. The results of such a failure are to be used for developing a meaningful emergency plan. The large hole scenario case (wherein the hazard distances are larger when compared to small holes) can be averted if the leak is determined in the initial stage itself when the leak size is small and the pipeline is isolated immediately on detection of the leak.

• It is advised to have a leak detection system to detect leaks in the pipeline due to small holes. Operator on detection of leak could then isolate this line by closing the valves remotely.

• Majority of pipeline incidents are caused by external interference. This external interference could be due to excavation, drilling etc. Frequent patrolling / full walking surveys of pipeline along the pipeline route will enable to detect, as early as possible, such activities near the pipeline.

• Emergency Response Plan / Disaster Management Plan which would be prepared for the system shall address the action plans to be taken in event of releases from LPG pipelines. The Hydrant Layout showing location of Fire Hydrants & Water Lines is shown in the following figure.

PREFEASIBILITY REPORT

d. DESCRIPTION OF MOUNDED BULLETS

The mounded storage of LPG has proved to be safer compared to above ground storage vessels since it provides intrinsically passive and safe environment and eliminates the possibility of Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion (BLEVE). The cover of the mound protects the vessel from fire engulfment, radiation from a fire in close proximity and acts of sabotage or vandalism. The area of land required to locate a mounded system is minimal compared to conventional storage. Excavation up to a depth of 0.75 M was done for construction of mounded bullet foundation (Below FGL). Cathodic protection through sacrificial anode method has been provided for all the three bullets for their protection.

i. SAFETY ASPECTS FOR SETTING UP MOUNDED BULLETS

• Mounded tanks are semi-conventional pressure vessels, covered by a layer of soil or sand. By mounding LPG tanks with an adequate layer of sand and earth, the possibility of fire engulfment and a BLEVE is removed.

• Mounded vessel(s) placed on a firm foundation will not suffer from flotation. Thus mounded tanks have the advantage over underground LPG tanks, which require protection against possible floatation.

• Mounding allows safety distances around the facility to be considerably reduced, compared to an equivalent unprotected design.

• The extra cost associated with a mounded system is offset by the lower cost of the land required, and the virtual exclusion of fire fighting systems.

• Mounded systems have also been installed where the available space, or environmental pressure, precluded traditional storage methods. ii. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS

• Large volume of water required for the fire systems of conventional storage are eliminated thus reducing the demand on valuable water sources, and problems associated with the drainage and disposal of the water.

• Mounded LPG gas tanks can be landscaped to blend with the environment.
