(F) PROJECT CONCEPT The Recovery Facility is proposed to provide recovery services for scheduled waste as shown in table below. No. Code Type of Waste Maximum Quantity/month (MT) 1 SW 305 Spent Lubricating Oil 300 2 SW 306 Spent Hydraulic Oil 200 3 SW 322 Waste of Non-Halogenated Organic Solvent 80 4 SW 323 Waste of Halogenated Organic Solvent 20 (G) PROJECT DESCRIPTION There is existing covered factory building in rectangular shaped of 21.3 m long and 13.7 m wide. The covered area for factory is about 292.6 m2. The factory will be renovated to accomplish for the proposed Project. The proposed layout is shown in Chapter 4 which will include the areas allocated for recovery machines, storage of scheduled waste raw materials, finished products, residue wastes storage area, office and etc. Waste Acceptance Criteria Before the scheduled wastes are accepted for recovery at the plant, they will first be inspected and sampled at source of origin to satisfy the waste acceptance criteria set up by the project initiator. A list of the waste acceptance is shown in Chapter 4. The Recovery Processes The recovery process for the spent oil (SW 305 & SW 306) and waste solvent (SW 322 & SW 323) are via heating and distillation processes. The process flow and mass balance for the recovery are described in detail in Chapter 4. Storage The incoming scheduled wastes will be transported from waste generators using truck. They will be stored into respective storage drums or tanks at the storage area. Upon completion of recovery process, the recovered product will be stored at the finished product storage area GE ES-3 EIA FOR B GATES ENTERPRISE SDN BHD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY before sold to customer. Residue produced from the recovery processes will be kept at the residue storage area pending disposal to KA. Recovered Products The summary of all Recovered Products is presented in Table ES.1. Table ES.1: Summary Of The Products and Their Specifications Waste Code Monthly Yield Type of Waste Recovered Product Product Characteristics (MT) Spent Lubricating Oil SW 305 Recovered oil Free of solid particle and 285 water. Fulfill the 300 TPM specification as shown in Table 4.7 Spent Hydraulic Oil SW 306 Recovered oil Free of solid particle and 194 water. Fulfill the 200 TPM specification as shown in Table 4.7 Waste of SW 322 Recovered solvent Almost 100% pure 75.2 Non-halogenated solvent Organic Solvent 80 TPM Waste of Halogenated SW 323 Recovered solvent Almost 100% pure 18.8 Organic Solvent solvent 20 TPM ay (H) OPERATION OF THE PLANT The plant operates 30 days each month and 12 months in the year. The project will draw its power supply from the current electricity provider, TNB and potable water at the office is tap water supplied by Syarikat Air Johor (SAJ). (I) PROJECT OPTIONS The proposed Project is a preferred option to the status quo for the following reasons: The illegal dumping of spent oil and solvent will be reduced. Manufacturers will benefit, as it will help them to reduce potential environmental liability. The Project will create more jobs and business opportunities for the region. Can promote the strategy of wastes reduction by recycling. (J) EXISTING ENVIRONMENT Parameters Description Physical Environment Topography The Project site is located at latitude N 1.793941° and longitude E103.320490°. It is sited on existing factory building within the developed Taman Perindustrian Rengland. Geology Triassic period. Consists of interbedded sandstone, siltstone and shale. Soils Belong to Munchong Serdang GE ES-4 EIA FOR B GATES ENTERPRISE SDN BHD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Parameters Description Hydrology Currently there is no river flowing through the Project site. The surface runoff water from the Project site will discharge to the monsoon drainage system at the boundary of Project site and then to downstream Sg Pinggan and eventually lead to Selat Melaka. Climate Humid tropical with heavy seasonal monsoonal rains. (Meteorological station at Senai International Airport) Average Annual Rainfall (2007-2011) 2745.2 mm Maximum temperature 32.4°C Minimum temperature 22.6°C Environmental Quality Water Quality Water was sampled from drain at the upstream (W1) and downstream (W2) of Project site. The parameters tested such as AN, BOD and COD at W1 had exceeded the NWQS Class llI limits. TSS at W1 & W2 had also exceeded the NWQS Class III limit. Air Quality The air quality was good and the parameters PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO and O3 measured at A1 & A2 was well within the Malaysia Recommended Air Quality Guideline. Noise Level The noise level recorded at N1 was within the recommended limit of 70 dB(A) at the plant boundary for daytime and 60 dB(A) for night time. Noise level at N2 has slightly exceeded the recommended limit of 50 dB(A) during daytime and 40 dB(A) during night time for school. Biological Resource Ecosystems The proposed Project site is located within Taman Perindustrian Rengland, on a piece of flat land with factory building. Neither vegetation nor significant biological habitat was found at the site. Existing Landuse 3-km Land Use The existing landuse of the Project site is a flat land with an existing factory building located in Taman Perindustrian Rengland. The nearby landuse (within 0.5km) comprises of industrial factories, SMK Dato’ Ibrahim Majid and Simpang Renggam Plaza Toll. The nearest residential area is Taman Sri Bayu which is about 825 m southwest of the Project site. (K) POTENTIAL IMPACTS AND PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES Sources of Degree of Impact Proposed Mitigation Measures Impacts Impact 1. Water pollution Spillage and Can be Safe Storage and Handling of Spent Oil & Waste due to handling accidental significant Solvent discharge Use durable drums /tanks with liners for containment. Drums/tanks to be clearly labeled. Inspect all equipment for hydraulic and oil leaks prior to use on site and have regular inspection schedules. Have absorbent pads, booms, and other materials available to moped up oil, hydraulic fluid, and other hazardous material spills. Store all hazardous materials in compliance with DOE regulations. Storage areas to be designed with impermeable floors to contain and recover spillage. Concrete bunds to be constructed with 110% capacity of the largest storage tank. GE ES-5 EIA FOR B GATES ENTERPRISE SDN BHD EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Sources of Degree of Impact Proposed Mitigation Measures Impacts Impact Check incoming feedstock to ensure acceptance based on waste acceptance criteria. Adopt the "just-in-time" inventory approach to optimize the inventory level of flammable chemicals. 2. Water pollution Spillage or The volume Transport of Spent Oil & Waste Solvent due to accidental transported at transportation discharge of any one time Prepare a logistic and routing plan. spent oil is limited, All vehicles to be equipped with mopping up /solvent during impact is also equipment and fire extinguishers transportation. limited. Provide information in accordance with the Seventh Schedule. Inform the transport contractor of the purpose and use of the Seventh Schedule. Contractor should be made to understand the Seventh Schedule and comply with the instructions contained therein. Check condition of the truck before use. Accidental Spillage or Discharge of Spent Oil / Waste Solvent Use appropriate personnel protective equipment (PPE) to provide protection for workers in handling any accidental spillage of hazardous wastes. The contractor/Project Initiator to contain, clean and abate any accidental spillage or discharge of the waste as soon as possible. To inform DOE and other relevant agencies of the occurrence as soon as possible. Remedial activities to be in accordance with approved work plan by the regulatory agency. Transport route to avoid densely populated areas, water catchment areas and other environmentally sensitive areas. 3. Fire/explosion Accidental Can be Have a well-rehearsed ERP that can be put into hazard in the ignition of significant effect at short notice.
