The plant has a bottling capacity of 132000 metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) and LPG storage capacity of 1800 MT (4 X 125 MT Bullets, 2 x 650 MT spheres). Currently, BPCL intends to enhance the capacity of the storage facility with addition of mounded storage vessels (MSV) of 600 MT (2 x 300 MT). On commissioning of the MSV, existing LPG Bullets of 4 nos. X 125 MT will be decommissioned. Thus the final LPG storage capacity in the plant after this expansion would be 1900 MT (2 X 650 MT Spheres + 2 X 300 MT MSV). The proposed project will require Environmental Clearance (EC) from State Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Maharashtra as per the requirements of the EIA Notification, 2006. BPCL has received an approved Terms of Reference (ToR) from State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC). The condition no 5 relating to Forest & Wildlife related issues stipulates as follows. The projects to be located within 10 km of the National Parks, Sanctuaries, Biosphere Reserves, Migratory Corridors of Wild Animals, the project proponent shall submit the map duly authenticated by Chief Wildlife Warden showing these features vis-à- vis the project location and the recommendations or comments of the Chief Wildlife Warden-thereon. Wildlife Conservation Plan duly authenticated by the Chief Wildlife Warden of the State Government for conservation of Schedule I fauna, if any exists in the study area. Copy of application submitted for clearance under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972, to the Standing Committee of the National Board for Wildlife. 1.2 LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY The proposed MSV units will be constructed within the premises of the existing plant. The existing plant is located at Chincholi village in Mohol taluka of Solapur district, Maharashtra. The plant can be accessed from Solapur by National Highway 65 (NH); which runs along the southern boundary of the project site. The nearest railway station is Pakni, which is approximately 3 km from the plant. The nearest airport in Pune is approximately 280 km from the plant. The district Head Quarter, Solapur is approximately 12 km from the plant towards south-east.

Area required for the proposed MSV i.e., approximately 1600 sq. m. (~0.40 acre) is available within the plant premises. No additional land will be required for the proposed project. Water: During construction phase, peak water requirement will be about 3.0 KLD to meet domestic and drinking water requirement for construction workers. About 10 Kilolitres per Day (KLD) of water will be required for construction work. Domestic water requirement will be met through Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) supply, whereas water requirement for construction work will be sourced from local supplier. Presently, about 27 KLD of water is required for operation of the plant. Water is sourced from MIDC, Chincholi. After proposed expansion, additional quantity of water will not be required for the project. Power: During construction phase, power will be sourced from two diesel generator sets each having capacity of 125 kilo-volt-ampere (KVA). During operational phase, maximum demand of power for plant is about 380 KVA which is obtained by the grid connection from Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB). Further, diesel generators sets (1x 500 KVA, 1x 250 KVA and 1 x 65 KVA) are installed to serve as alternative sources of power supply during power failure. No additional quantity of power will be required for the proposed expansion project. Manpower: The construction and commissioning of the project will take about approximately 12 months and peak labour requirement will be about 60 including skilled, unskilled and professional work forces. Construction workers will be sourced from nearby villages & town. No labour camp would be developed on-site. Existing amenities like portable drinking water, toilet, rest room etc. will be used by the construction workers. Manpower requirement for day to day operation of the plant is 100 including BPCL staff and contractor’s workmen. No additional manpower is required for the proposed expansion project. 1.3.2 Operation Description Existing operational process at the Solapur LPG plant is receipt of LPG by bulk tankers, storage of LPG in different type of storage vessel (MSV, Sphere etc.), bottling of LPG using electronic carousel, quality checking of LPG cylinder and finally dispatch to different distribution centre. Under this ERM WILDLIFE & BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PLAN PROJECT #I 11991/0365808 DECEMBER 2017 6 proposed expansion project, there will not be any changes in the existing operational process. Description of Proposed Storage Facility- MSV Proposed project will involve construction of MSV (2 Nos X 300 MT). Mounded storage is the term given to the pressurised storage at ambient temperatures of liquefied petroleum gases in horizontal cylindrical tanks placed at or just below ground level and completely covered with suitable backfill. Here it is proposed that two tanks to be placed side-by-side under one ‘mound’. Proposed MSV will be constructed as per OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) 150 and PD 5500/ SMPV (The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels) rules. 1.4 POLLUTION SOURCE, CATEGORIZATION AND CONTROL MEASURES 1.4.1 Waste Water Construction Phase Sewage will be generated during this phase from site office. The same is planned to be treated onsite using the existing STP of 15 KLD capacity. Treated water will be utilised for landscaping. Operational Phase During operational phase, approx. 8 KLD of waste water will be generated from domestic use. Sewage generated from the plant will be treated through the existing STP of 15 KLD capacity. Approx. 14 KLD of effluent will be generated from the process. This effluent will be treated through ETP of 15 KLD capacity. Sludge generated from the ETP will be disposed at designated disposal site of the MIDC Chincholi. The treated water from STP and ETP will be utilised for watering of landscape area. Proposed expansion project will not generate additional quantity of sewage and effluent. Also, drainage system at the plant is to be provided with oil-water separator to prevent contaminants especially oil and grease, from being carried off by runoff. Storm water from the site will be discharged into adjoining drainage stream. 1.4.2 Solid Waste Construction Period During the construction period, construction wastes such excess excavated earth, construction debris and metal chippings will be generated. The ERM WILDLIFE & BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION PLAN PROJECT #I 11991/0365808 DECEMBER 2017 7 construction debris will be used for filling work. Cement bags will be sold off to recyclers. Metal chippings will also be collected at site and sold to recyclers. Also, about 6 kg/day of municipal solid waste will be generated during construction phase of the project.

The characteristics of five different cultivars of the jujube fruit have been evaluated and classified into four different maturation stages according to the color of the peel, ranging from green in its most immature stage, to white, yellow, and red in its last, more mature stage. This is due in part to the amount of carotenoids and chlorophylls studied, which vary as the fruit matures. The cultivars ‘GAL-E’ and ‘GAL-T’ are the largest in size and weight, followed by ‘MSI’, ‘PSI’, and ‘DAT’, which are the smallest cultivars. The content of phenolic compounds was also analyzed. The antioxidant activity, which was studied by different methods, 2,20-azino-bis(3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), showed the highest activity in stages 3 and 4 of jujube fruit.

  • Antimicrobial Activity of Fruits Extracts of the Wild Jujube "Ziziphus Lotus (L.) Desf
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 4, Issue 9, September-2013 1521 ISSN 2229-5518 Antimicrobial activity of fruits extracts of the wild jujube "Ziziphus Lotus (L.) Desf. Rsaissi.N (1), EL KAMILI(1), B. Bencharki (1), L. Hillali(1) & M. Bouhache (2) Abstract— In Morocco, Wild jujube "Ziziphus Lotus (L.) Desf." is a very common fruit shrub in arid and semi-arid region. Fruits of this species are traditionally used for treatment of many diseases. The objective of this study is to evaluate in vitro the biological activity of the extracts of the fruits of this shrub, extracted successively by maceration with different organic solvents of increasing polarity (ether, dichloromethane and methanol), on four Gram negative and four Gram positive bacteria species and four species of filamentous fungi. All extracts showed an activity on different studied bac- terial species. At the concentration of 4000 µg/disk, the etheric and methanolic extracts were the most active by inducing growth inhibition diameters between 11 and 20 mm of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella Typhi, Escherichia coli, Enter- ococcus faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. At the concentration of 20 mg/ml, these extracts showed an interesting activity on the four fungi spe- cies: Fusarium culmorum, Aspegillus ochraceus, Penicillium italicum, Rhizomucor sp. The inhibition rates ranged from 31 to 85% and 17 to 76% at the second and the fifth day of incubation, respectively. Based on chemical analyses, the fruits of wild jujube contain phenols, flavonoids and tannins, which explain their high antimicrobial activity. Indeed, a strong correlation was noted between the concentrations of these components in the fruits ex- tracts and their antimicrobial activity.

Al-seeni Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University [email protected] Abstract: Dates contain many minerals, which is very important for healthy life. Sodium, potassium, calcium, manganese, cupper, cadmium, nickel, lead, ferric, zinc, cobalt and magnesium were determined in twenty samples, collected from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, of two types of dates, Safawy (Phoenix dactylifera) and Chinese date (Ziziphus zizyphus). The mean value of sodium was 3.5 µg/g and 3.8 µg /g in Chinese and Safawy dates, respectively. The mean concentrations of potassium were 1.34 µg/g and 1.04 µg/g but the mean concentrations of the detected calcium were 12.7 µg/g and 9.1µg/g in the Chinese date and Safawy date, respectively. Manganese concentration means were 1.50 and 2.64 µg/g in Chinese and Safawy dates, respectively. Cupper, cadmium, nickel, ferric, zinc, cobalt, magnesium were detected in the two previous types of dates but lead was not detected in either Chinese or Safawy dates. The antibacterial activity of date water extracts was determined using agar well diffusion method. The water extract of Chinese date (inhibition zone ranged from 11-19 mm) was more active compared to the extract of Safawy date (inhibition zone ranged from 10-13 mm). The antibacterial activity of date water extracts was compared with that of Ampicillin (control antibiotic). [Madeha N. Al-seeni.

  • Robert Brown's Contributions to Rhamnaceae Systematics
    515 Robert Brown‘s contributions to Rhamnaceae systematics Jürgen Kellermann Abstract Kellermann, Jürgen (School of Botany, The University of Melbourne, Vic 3010, Australia. Email: [email protected]) 2004. Robert Brown ‘s contributions to Rhamnaceae systematics. Telopea 10(2): 515–524. This paper outlines the taxonomic history of Rhamnaceae Juss. during the first half of the 19th century, with a focus on Robert Brown’s contributions. Brown advanced Rhamnaceae systematics in two ways. Firstly, he collected 31 species of the family during his time in Australia (1801–1805); nearly all of them were new to science. Although he did not publish any taxa from these collections himself, they were instrumental for his second contribution. In 1814, Robert Brown gave the family a definition that is still valid today. Brown split Rhamnaceae sensu Juss. into Celastraceae R.Br. and Rhamnaceae s.str. (i.e. sensu R.Br.). Some remaining genera had to be dispersed into a number of other families, such as Aquifoliaceae, Oleaceae or Staphyleaceae. Introduction The Rhamnaceae Juss. is a medium sized plant family, with 900–1000 species worldwide. The taxon was established by Michel Adanson in the Familles des plantes as ‘Ziziphi’ (Adanson 1763), followed by Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu, who treated it as ‘Rhamni’ in his Genera plantarum (Jussieu 1789). Both authors included a variety of genera in their treatments, many of which are now attributed to other families, for example Celastraceae R.Br., Oleaceae Hoffsgg. & Link or Staphyleaceae Martinov (see Table 2 for a detailed analysis of Jussieu’s genera). Jussieu seems also to have had doubts about the uniformity of his ‘Rhamni’ (Harms 1953), since he asks himself: “An indè dividendus ordo?” (Jussieu 1789: 383).
