Bagasse will be used as and when available.

8 Manufacturing process

The proposed expansion of power plant will comprise of 1X12 MW. The whole process comprises of generating heat energy in the boiler and then converting heat energy generated in the CFBC Boiler into mechanical energy in the turbine and further converting this mechanical energy generated in the turbine into electrical energy in the alternator. Coal (Indigenous / Imported) and Biomass will be used as fuels in the boiler. The combustion of the fuel generates the heat energy in the boiler. This heat energy is transferred to heat transfer area provided in different areas like (bed coils, water wall, Steam Drawn/mud drum, bank tubes, economizer, super heater, air pre-heater). This heat will be transferred to the water which will pass through and steam is generated and this steam will be further super heated in the super heater so that dry super heated steam will be generated. The quantity of the steam generated in the boiler will be 100 TPH. This Steam will be fed into the turbines and this steam expands in the turbine and generates mechanical energy i.e., it starts rotating the Rotor at high speed and further this mechanical energy will be converted into electrical energy in the alternator. The power generated at the alternator terminals will be 12 MW. The following are the environmental advantages of CFBC Boiler. •The efficiency of CFBC Boiler is high and the environmental emissions will be much less.

•Limestone to be used as bed material in CFBC Boiler will help in absorbing the SO2 emissions consequently SO2 emissions will reduce significantly. •Due to lower combustion temperature formation of Thermal NOx will be eliminated. Accordingly NOx emissions will reduce.

The emissions of concern due to the proposed expansion power plant are Particulate Matter (PM), Sulphur dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Fugitive dust. One stack of 73 m for the 100 TPH Boiler will be provided for effective dispersion of SO2 emissions into the atmosphere. •Electro Static Precipitator (ESP) will be provided to bring down the Particulate emission in the exhaust gas to less than 30 mg/Nm3. •Interlocking system will be provided to ESP, which will work in such a way that whenever ESP fails, the fuel feed to the boiler will stop and the boiler will trip down and there will be no power generation till the ESP is rectified. •All the conveyors will be covered with GI sheets to prevent the fugitive dust emission into the atmosphere. •Adequate dust suppression system like fog type and water spray system has been installed in the material unloading areas of existing plant. As there will be no change in coal storage quantity, no such additional systems will be required for the expansion project. •Flue gas velocity of 22 m/s will be maintained.

3 •Low NOx burners will be provided to restrict the NOx emission to less than 100 mg/Nm . •Sulphurdioxide emissions will be less than 100 mg/Nm3. •Mercury emissions will be less than 0.03 mg/Nm3 •Extensive greenbelt already developed all around the plant area & proposed additional greenbelt will further reduce the air emissions •All the existing internal roads are already asphalted. New internal roads proposed as part of capacity enhancement will also be asphalted. This will attenuate the fugitive dust emission further due to the vehicular movement. •Water spraying will be done frequently at coal stock yard to control the fugitive dust. •Dust extraction system with bag filters will be provided at material transfer points and junction towers. •The net resultant Ground Level Concentrations (baseline concentration + max. predicted incremental rise in

Concentration) of PM, SO2 and NOx during the operation of both existing, expansion of the power plant will be within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on the air environment due to the proposed 12 MW power plant. •All the CREP recommendations will be implemented. Wastewater generation

The wastewater generation from existing plant is 1200 KLD. The wastewater generated from the proposed expansion power plant will be 237.8 KLD. Total effluent generation from the existing and proposed expansion will be 1437.8 KLD. The liquid effluents from expansion mainly consist of Boiler blow down & DM plant regeneration.

The effluents Boiler blow-down and D.M. Plant regeneration generated from the expansion project will be treated in existing effluent treatment plant of designed capacity of 3,000 KLD. The residues generated will be utilized in sledge drying beds. No effluent will be sent outside the plant premises. Zero liquid effluent discharge system is being followed in the existing plant and similar practice will be maintained after expansion also.

All machinery will be manufactured as per MoEF/OSHA & other international standards on noise levels. The major noise levels will be confined to the working zones of the plant. The Leq of eight hours will be within the prescribed standards. Acoustic enclosures are provided to the STG. Community noise levels are not likely to be affected due to the proposed green belt and attenuation due to the physical barriers. The ambient noise levels will be less than 75 dBA during day time & less than 70 dBA during night time

Recommendations •Acoustic enclosures to be provided to STG. •The impact can reduce by adopting shock absorbing techniques. •The Noise absorption to improve by using hollow concrete blocks in the construction of the proposed Plant. •Ear plugs to be provided to the workers and this shall be enforced strictly. •Further greenbelt proposed to be developed will help in further attenuating the noise levels.

Rainwater harvesting structures have been constructed to harvest the run-off water from roof tops by laying a separate storm water drainage system for recharging of ground water. Rain harvesting has been taken-up in consultation with State Ground Water Board. The harvested water is being reused to meet plant water requirements. The organisation is committed to adopt rain water harvesting schemes. The plant site is surrounded by hillocks and there are natural streams. Recently a survey is conducted by the group of engineers and the team is identified most suitable, compatible and wide area, where the rain water runoff from the hillocks can be collected. The proposed area of dimensions are 90 mtr x 50 mtr x 4.5 mtr, which has a storage capacity of approx. 20,000 m3. Earthen work is completed, surrounding bunds have been constructed. EMPLOYEMENT

The proposed expansion project creates employment to 200 people during construction and existing staff are adequate for operation of the proposed expansion project.
