viii. Process description along with a.Process description major equipment‟s and machineries, Crude oil is heated and fed into a distillation column. As the temperature of the crude oil in the distillation column rises, process flow sheet (quantitative) from the crude oil separates itself into different components, called “fractions.” The fractions are then captured separately. Each raw material to products to be provided fraction corresponds to a different type of petroleum product, depending on the temperature at which that fraction boils off the crude oil mixture. Further detailed process description in given in Chapter 2, Section 2.7 of EIA report

List of major Equipment‟s and machineries are enclosed as Annexure 12. The proposed block flow diagram in quantitative manner is enclosed as Annexure 27. Hazard identification and details of Hazard identification is the process used to identify all the possible situations in the workplace where people proposed safety systems may be exposed to injury, illness or disease. Identification of causes and type of hazards is the primary task for planning for risk assessment.

A preliminary hazard analysis is carried out initially to identify the major hazards associated with storages and

51 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report the processes of the plant. This is followed by consequence analysis to quantify these hazards.

Hazardous chemicals:

In a refinery, hazardous chemicals can come from many sources and in many forms. In crude oil, there are not only the components sought for processing, but impurities such as sulphur, vanadium, and arsenic compounds. The oil is split into many component streams that are further altered and refined to produce the final product range. Most, if not all, of these component stream chemicals are inherently hazardous to humans, as are the other chemicals added during processing. Hazards include fire, explosion, toxicity, corrosiveness, and asphyxiation. Information on hazardous materials manufactured or stored in a refinery should be supplied by the client's representative when a work permit is issued

Health and hygiene hazards

Major potential air contaminants which can escape from a typical refinery operation and their major sources. It does not attempt to identify all such possible hazards.

Parameters Major sources

Hydrocarbon Vapours –  Transfer and loading operations Compounds of Carbon  Storage tanks (C) and Hydrogen  Crude unit, atmospheric, and vacuum towers  Cracking units  Rearranging and combining processes such as Reformers and alkylation units  Treating Operations  Cracking Unit Regeneration  Heat Exchangers  Boilers & Heaters

52 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report

 Pumps, Valves Cooling Towers Sulphur dioxide  Boilers  Cracking Unit Regeneration  Treating Operations  Flares Carbon monoxide (CO)  Rearranging and combining processes such as reformers and alkylation units  Catalyst Regeneration  Flares  Boiler  Furnaces Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)  flares  boilers Hydrogen sulphide (H2S)  Sour Crudes  Liquid Wastes  Pumps  Crude Tower  Cracking Operations  Re-arranging and combining processes such as reformers and alkylation unit  Hydro generation Particulates  Catalyst dusts – Cracking unit, Catalyst regeneration and rearranging and combining processes such as reformers and alkylation units  Petroleum Coke Dust – Cracking units Chlorine (Cl or Cl2)  Caustic Unit Ammonia (NH3)  Compressors

Common hazardous chemicals and chemical groups typically present and their most significant hazards to workers. MATERIAL DOMINANT HAZARD Additives – usually skin irritants Ammonia – toxic on inhalation Asbestos – designated substance under construction regulations. See chapter on asbestos in this manual. Asphalt – dermatitis (can be photosensitizer)

53 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report Benzene – designated substance under industrial regulations

Carbon monoxide – toxic on inhalation Caustic soda – corrosive to skin and eyes Chlorine – corrosive to skin and tissue on contact or inhalation HBAHs (high boiling aromatic – potential carcinogens hydrocarbons) Hydrofluoric acid – corrosive to skin and tissue on contact or inhalation Hydrogen sulphide – toxic on inhalation MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) – corrosive to skin

Nitrogen – asphyxiant PAHs (polynuclear aromatic – potential carcinogens hydrocarbons) Phenol-acid – corrosive to skin and tissue Silica – designated substance under industrial regulations

Sulphuric acid – corrosive to skin and tissue on contact or inhalation Sulphur dioxide – toxic on inhalation

Care should be exercised at all times to avoid inhaling solvent vapours, toxic gases, and other respiratory contaminants. Because of the many hazards from burns and skin contact, most plants require that you wear long- sleeved shirts or coveralls

Confined spaces

On most jobsites there are potential confined space hazards. These hazards are multiplied, however, on a refinery site because of the complex collection of tanks, reactors, vessels, and ducts combined with a wide variety of hazardous chemicals and emissions, often in enclosed areas. Many of these chemicals can produce oxygen- deficient, toxic, or explosive atmospheres. Knowledge of general confined space procedures and specific in-plant requirements are both critical in refinery work. For more information, refer to the chapter on

54 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report Confined Spaces in this manual.

Further details of stack emission are provided in theChapter 4 Section4.5.4 of EIA report.

Details of action plan for control of emissions:

 Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose.  Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).  Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases of volatile hydrocarbon streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released, they will be directed to an elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.  The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in the refinery.Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also envisaged..  The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the refinery complex will meet all the applicable standards/stipulations. vi. Measures for fugitive emission Details of action plan for control of emissions control  Minimum number of flanges, valves, etc.  High grade gasket material for packing.  Usage of state-of-the-art low leakage valves preferably with bellow seals.  Usage of pumps with Double Mechanical seals for light hydrocarbon services.  Provisions of floating roof storage tanks.

79 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report  Provisions of double seal in some of storage tanks.  Provision of covering the oil-water separation units in ETP.  Provision of seals in the drains and manholes. IOCL Panipat Refinery has VOC Monitoring system in Existing Refinery and VOC facility in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant will be installed in Proposed expansion.

94 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report to meet the national standards for  Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose. petroleum refinery.  Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).  Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases of volatile hydrocarbon streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released, they will be directed to an elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.  The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in the refinery.Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also envisaged.. The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the refinery complex will meet all the applicable standards/stipulations.

2.1 Project Description

Panipat Refinery (PR) was commissioned in 1997-98 with crude oil processing capacity of 6.0 MMTPA. The refinery capacity was raised in 2008-09 to 12.0 MMTPA with the addition of another crude unit and a full conversion hydrocracker as the secondary processing unit and Delayed Coker unit for bottom up gradation (PREP- Panipat Refinery Expansion Project). Further through revamps and addition of process units the refining capacity has been brought to the present operating capacity of 15.0 MMTPA (PRAEP- Panipat Refinery Additional Expansion Project).

Motor Spirit Quality Upgradation project with Naphtha Hydro treating unit (NHDT), Isomerization (ISOM), FCC Gasoline Desulphurization unit (Prime G) was commissioned in 2010 for production of BS-IV quality compliant MS.

At present Panipat refinery has been upgraded to BS-VI grade fuel completely since 1st April 2020. Accordingly, EIL was asked to make a configuration study for 100% BS VI auto fuels from existing 15 MMTPA Refinery. Stage-1 approval was accorded for production of BS-VI compliant products with crude processing capacity of 15 MMTPA. In order to produce BS-VI quality fuel, following units such as new DHDT (2.2 MMTPA), new HGU (44 KTPA), new SRU (225 TPD), new ARU (189 m3/hr), new SWS (57 m3/hr) are envisaged in BS-VI project has been commisioned. Crude oil is received from two pipelines originating from Gujarat Coast. The first one is SMPL(salaya Mathura pipeline), which supplies crude to Gujarat (Koyali refinery), Mathura refinery and Panipat refinery. 2nd pipeline is MPPL(mundra Panipat pieline) 1194km long and capacity is 8.4 MMTPA.

Crude from offsite storage is received at CDU/VDU plant battery limit. The crude is subsequently heated in preheat exchangers by hot streams of CDU/VDU. Crude picks up heat in the preheat exchangers before being routed to Crude desalter. b. Desalter A 2-stage electrostatic Crude Desalter to be provided for removal of salt and water from the crude to desired level. The principle of desalting operation requires mixing of preheated wash water in a mixing valve with the crude under controlled conditions and to extract impurities. c. Crude Preheat Train-II and Preflash The crude from Desalter outlet is routed to the 2nd train of pre heat exchangers. Crude picks up heat from hot streams of CDU/VDU and routed to Preflash drum. The liquid separated in the Preflash drum is pumped to crude preheat train-III. d. Crude Preheat Train-III The pre flashed crude is heated in 3rd preheat train exchangers. Crude picks up heat from hot streams of CDU/VDU and finally routed to crude heater.

e. Crude Heater The preheated crude is fed to the crude heater and equally distributed to the heater passes through pass balancer control valve. The total crude flow to the unit signal is sent to the crude throughput controller, which sends signal to the furnace flow controllers. f. Crude Distillation Column Heated and partially vaporised crude enters crude column through feed nozzle. The column has five side draws, namely, Light Naphtha (SN), Heavy Naphtha (HN), Kerosene (Kero), Light Gas Oil (LGO) and Heavy Gas Oil (HGO). g. Crude Column Overhead Circuit The overhead system consists of a two stage condensing system with wash water circulation. Sour water separated in reflux drum is partly returned as wash water for atmospheric column overhead vapours. All the salt are dissolved in wash water and are purged out of the system

141 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report through sour water purge stream to sour water stripper unit. Additionally Filming Amine is also injected in the crude column overhead line in order to protect the overhead line. h. Light/Heavy Naphtha Section Naphtha is drawn as side product to side stripper. Stripper is provided with thermosiphonre boiler to knock off light ends from naphtha. The CDU hot stream is used as heating medium in reboiler. The bottom product of light/heavy naphtha stripper is pumped to naphtha product cooler. The cooled product ex-product cooler is finally routed to storage. The light hydrocarbon vapours leaving the naphtha stripper is returned to the crude column. Kero product from Kero Stripper bottom is pumped by Kero Product pump. After heat recovery, Kero product is further cooled in product coolers to required rundown temperature and routed to storage. i. LGO Product Circuit LGO Product from LGO Stripper is pumped by LGO product Pump for heat recovery, After Heat Recovery LGO product is further cooled in product coolers to required rundown temperature and routed to storage. j. HGO Product Circuit HGO Product from HGO Stripper is pumped by HGO Product Pump. After heat recovery, HGO product is further cooled in product coolers to required rundown temperature and routed to storage. k. RCO Product Circuit Normally, Reduced Crude Oil (Crude Column residue, RCO) from Crude Column is pumped to vacuum unit without any cooling. However, provision is kept to cool the hot RCO stream in crude preheat circuit and coolers to facilitate to operate Crude unit alone without Vacuum unit and route the RCO stream to storage. 2.7.2.3 Naphtha Stabilizer a. Naphtha Stabiliser Column The unstabilised naphtha consisting of all the fuel gas, LPG and Naphtha components is pumped to Naphtha stabiliser column after preheating in the stabiliser feed/bottom exchanger. The overhead products are partially condensed in the Stabiliser Overhead Condenser. Fuel gas and LPG are withdrawn from the overhead circuit. Fuel gas is routed to Fuel Gas ATU and LPG is routed to LPG Treater. Stabiliser column is a reboiled column using CDU hot stream as reboiling medium. Stabilised Naphtha is further cooled in the exchanger to required rundown temperature before routing the same to the storage.

142 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report 2.7.2.4 Vacuum Distillation Unit a. Vacuum Heater Hot RCO from Crude column bottom is pumped by RCO pumps to Vacuum heater. Each coil outlet of vacuum heater joins the transfer line and is routed to Vacuum distillation column. The mixed vapour & liquid stream from the heater is introduced to the Flash zone of Vacuum column. b. Vacuum Distillation Column Heated & partially vaporised RCO from Vacuum Heater enters the Vacuum Column. An open ended tangential entry device and a large empty space above flash zone ensure optimal vapour liquid separation. c. Stripping section: The heavy hydrocarbons are stripped on valve trays. Subsequently the residue is quenched by the vacuum residue product (Quench) to prevent after cracking in the bottom compartment of the column. The various side streams taken out from Vacuum Column are Vacuum Diesel, LVGO, HVGO and Slop Distillate. d. Overhead Circuit: Overhead vapour from vacuum column goes to the vacuum system. The vacuum system is designed with a two stage ejector and a vacuum pump as the third stage. Sour water from Hotwell is pumped by Hotwell Sour water pumps. Sour water ex-Hotwell flows under interphase level-cascaded flow control for further treatment in sour water stripper unit. e. Vacuum Diesel Section: Vacuum Diesel is drawn and pumped by Vacuum Diesel Product + CR + IR Pump and is divided into 2 streams, namely, Vacuum Diesel IR, Vacuum Diesel CR + Product. Vacuum Diesel IR is returned back under flow control to the Vacuum Column. The product stream is cooled in the Vacuum Diesel Product + CR Trim Cooler f. Gas Oil Section: Gas oil is collected in collector tray and pumped by Gas oil IR pumps under level control along with LVGO CR through spray nozzle distributor. g. Light Vacuum Gas Oil Section (LVGO): LVGO from collector tray is pumped by LVGO Product + CR + IR Pump and is divided into 3 streams, namely, LVGO IR, LVGO CR and LVGO product. LVGO IR is returned back under flow control to the Vacuum Column LVGO CR is cooled in crude/LVGO CR Exchanger before returning back to the Vacuum Column along with Gas oil IR.

143 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report h. Heavy Vacuum Gas Oil section (HVGO): HVGO from Collector tray is pumped by HVGO Product pumps and HVGO CR + IR Pumps HVGO CR+ IR streams are split into two streams namely HVGO CR & HVGO IR. HVGO product after exchanging heat with crude in crude preheats exchangers is combined with LVGO and the combined VGO is cooled in tempered water cooler before being routed to storage. i. Wash section: Slop from bed collector tray flows by gravity to the Slop Drum. Slop from this drum is pumped by Slop Distillate Pump and is divided into 2 streams. Vapours rising from flash zone are condensed by HVGO IR and collected as slop in collector tray. This liquid provides the required washing in this section. j. Vacuum Residue Section (VR): (Vacuum Residue + Quench) from Vacuum Column bottom is pumped by VR + Quench Pump to crude preheat train for heat recovery in Crude/VR+Quench exchangers. TheVR + Quench stream is then split into two streams and one stream as VR quench is returned back to the Vacuum Column under flow control cascaded with vacuum column bottom stream temperature controller.

2.7.2.5 Product Rundown section a. Hot well vacuum slop oil: Hot well vacuum slop oil from Hot well is pumped by hot well Slop Oil Pumps through a coalescer and routed to downstream unit for further processing. Sour water from coalescer is routed to sour water rundown line. b. Vacuum diesel Product: Vacuum Diesel from collector tray is drawn and pumped by Vacuum Diesel Product + CR + IR Pump and is divided into 2 streams namely Vacuum Diesel IR, Vacuum Diesel CR + Product.

LVGO Product LVGO from collector tray is pumped by LVGO Product + CR + IR Pump and is divided into 3 streams namely LVGO IR, LVGO CR and LVGO product. LVGO is combined with HVGO after heat recovery and the combined stream namely Vacuum Gas oil (VGO) is

144 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report routed to downstream unit. VGO is further cooled in cooler to required rundown temperature before routed to storage. d. HVGO Product HVGO product from Collector tray is pumped by HVGO Pump. Subsequently HVGO is combined with LVGO after heat recovery and the combined stream namely Vacuum Gas oil (VGO) is routed to downstream unit.VGO is further cooled in cooler to required undown temperature before routed to storage. e. Slop distillate product: Slop from collector tray flows by gravity to the Slop Drum. Slop from this drum is pumped by Slop Distillate Pump and is divided into 2 streams. One stream is returned under flow control back to Vacuum Column as over flash while the second stream as Slop Product is mixed with Vacuum residue. f. Vacuum residue product: (Vacuum Residue + Quench) from Vacuum Column bottom is pumped by VR + Quench Pump to crude preheat train for heat recovery in Crude/VR + Quench exchangers. The VR + Quench stream is then split into two streams. One stream as VR quench is returned back to the Vacuum Column and other stream VR product is routed to residue processing units such as SDA, BBU after heat recovery. VR product is further cooled to required rundown temperature before routed to storage. g. Tempered Water System

The cooling of the high pour point products like Vacuum residue & VGO is done by tempered water to prevent exchanger congealing and to reduce exchanger maintenance. Tempered water is pumped from Tempered Water Drum by Tempered Water Pumps to VR/TW cooler and VGO/TW cooler.

2.7.2.6 Steam Generation Section Make-up BFW is preheated by VR + Slop rundown stream in VR + Slop/BFW preheater. This make-up BFW then splits into two parts. One of the make-up BFW stream is fed to LP steams drum. The other Makeup BFW stream is fed to MP steam drum. a. Blowdown Blowdown from MP steam drum is flashed in a LP flash drum. The flashed condensates from this LP flash drum and blowdown from LP steam drum is sent to Steam Blowdown Drum where it is quenched with service water before draining it to storm sewer. b. Chemical Dosing Facility

145 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report This system caters to CDU/VDU units. c. Demulsifier Demulsifier chemical is unloaded into demulsifier drums. The drum is provided with a mixer which can be used for preparation of desired concentration levels of the chemical. Demulsifier injection is done at the inlet of First stage desalter. d. Filming Amine Filming amine is unloaded into Filming amine drum. The drum is provided with a mixer, which can be used for preparation of desired concentration levels of the chemical. It is injected in the column overhead circuit to prevent corrosion. e. Neutralising Amine Neutralising Amine chemical is unloaded into Neutralising Amine drum. The drum is provided with a mixer, which can be used for preparation of desired concentration levels of the chemical. It is injected in the column overhead circuit for pH adjustment and to prevent corrosion. f. Caustic Solution Caustic solution is required in the unit for caustic make-up to Vent Gas Caustic Scrubber. 10 wt% caustic solutions is obtained from OSBL, which shall be used for make-up in Vent Gas Caustic scrubber. 5 wt% Caustic solution might be required in the unit to be injected into crude line downstream of desalter.

2.7.2.7 VGO HDT VGO HDT unit shall treat the LVGO and HVGO from the CDU/VDU and gas oil from bottom processing unit. Fresh feed is preheated, pumped and mixed with the preheated recycle gas. The mixture is brought up to reaction temperature by the reaction furnace. In the reactors the reactions are highly exothermic; therefore, the temperature at the inlet of each bed is controlled by a quench gas injection. The reactor effluent is then fed into the hot HP separator drum. The vapor phase from hot HP separator is cooled and water is injected at the inlet of the air cooler. The air cooler effluent is collected in the cold HP separator drum where three phases are separated. The sour water is removed and routed to the sour water stripper system. The gas phase is sent to the recycle gas HP amine absorber where almost all H2S is removed. The recycle gas is separated in two parts, one towards quench and the other one with makeup gas to feed effluent exchanger. The hydrocarbon liquid phase from the cold HP separator drum is routed to the LP separator. At LP separator, the hydrocarbon liquid phase is combined with

146 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report hot HP separator liquid phase and routed to the inlet of the stripper where stripping is ensured by injection of medium pressure steam at the bottom of the column. The overhead vapors from the stripper is partially condensed by air and cooling water and collected in the reflux drum. The liquid hydrocarbon phase is used part as reflux to the stripper and part is sent for gas recovery. The stripper bottom is heated and feeds the main fractionator where hydrotreated VGO is stripped with superheated LP steam in the bottom section of the column. Fractionator overhead stream is cooled and party refluxed back to the column and partly recovered as unstabilized naphtha which is routed to Debutanizer. The diesel fraction is routed to side stripper where part is recycled back to the column and part is obtained as diesel product. Fractionator bottom product preheats the fresh feed, fractionator feed and reboils the debutanizer and the deethanizer and also generates low-pressure steam and is finally cooled in an air cooler before it is sent to storage. LP separator vapor phase and stripper reflux drum vapor and liquid streams are routed to Deethanizer via Deethanizer feed drum. Deethanizer bottom combines with Fractionator reflux drum liquid phase to feed Debutanizer. Debutanizer overhead vapour is totally condensed and part is routed back to column and net distillate is pumped as LPG. The purpose of Absorber is to maximize LPG recovery which is achieved by counter flow of cooled naphtha coming from Debutanizer bottom. Absorber overhead vapor go to LP amine absorber from where sweet gas is obtained. 2.7.2.8 INDMAX FCC with Propylene Recovery Unit INDMAX FCC is a fluidized catalytic process for selectively cracking a variety of feed stocks to light olefins. INMAX FCC is similar to conventional FCC in terms of basic process employed. But the cracking is higher in INDMAX unit. The objective of this process is maximization of LPG with higher selectivity towards propylene. LPG yield is typically 36-40 percent and propylene is typically 20 wt%. Dry gas produced from this unit is rich in ethylene. Hence, INDMAX unit provide opportunity for establishing downstream petrochemical units. Propylene is recovered from LPG in downstream PRU and sent to downstream Polypropylene unit. There is potential to use the dry gas rich in ethylene for the production of styrene monomer after reacting with benzene to form ethyl benzene. To achieve the higher conversions, unit operates at higher severity with high reactor temperature, higher quantity of dispersion steam in the reactor and higher catalyst to oil ratio. The catalyst employed is zeolitic in nature. High ZSM-5 to the extent of ~ 15% is added to

147 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report achieve the desired conversions and propylene make. Some licensors offer the catalyst impregnated with ZSM-5. The INDMAX unit reactor regenerator system utilizes a reactor/riser, catalyst stripper, 1st stage regeneration vessel, 2nd stage regeneration vessel, catalyst withdrawal well and catalyst transfer lines. Fresh feed, from upstream VGO HDT Unit, is finely atomized with dispersion steam and injected into the riser through feed injection nozzles over a dense catalyst phase. The small droplets of feed contact the freshly regenerated catalyst and instantly vaporize. The oil molecules mix intimately with the catalyst particles and crack into lighter and more valuable products. As the reaction mixture travels up the riser, the catalyst, steam and hydrocarbon product mixture passes through a riser termination device. This device quickly disengages the catalyst from steam and product vapors. Reactant vapors are then ducted to the top of the reactor near the reactor cyclone inlets, while catalyst is discharged into the stripper through a pair of catalyst dip legs. The vapors with entrained catalyst pass through single-stage high-efficiency cyclones. Reactor products, inerts, steam and a minute amount of catalyst flow into the base of the main fractionator and are separated into various product streams. Below the dense catalyst bed in reactor vessel, a steam ring strips off volatile hydrocarbon material from reacted catalyst particles. Stripped catalyst leaves the reactor vessel through catalyst withdrawal pipes and enters the 1st stage regenerator through a catalyst distributor that disperses the catalyst onto the bed surface. Catalyst and combustion air flows counter currently in the 1st stage regenerator vessel. Partially regenerated catalyst exits near the bottom of the vessel through a hollow stem plug valve. A lift line conveys the catalyst into the 2nd stage regenerator vessel utilizing lift air. CO-rich flue gas from the regenerator vessel exits through two-stage high efficiency cyclones. A mushroom grid evenly distributes the catalyst in 2nd stage regenerator vessel. Any carbon remaining in the catalyst is completely burned off with an excess amount of air in this regeneration stage. This results in high temperatures. Several design features like external cyclones and a catalyst cooler are incorporated to minimize any mechanical and/or physical temperature limitation. Hot regenerated catalyst flows into a withdrawal well, through regenerated catalyst slide valves and into the "wye" section at the base of riser. Here, it meets the hot feed. The INDMAX FCC gas recovery section employs a low pressure drop main fractionator design with warm reflux overhead condensers to condense the large amount of steam used in the convertor. A large wet gas compressor is required relative to FCC operation because of high amount of dry gas and LPG. The absorber and stripper columns, downstream

148 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report of the wet gas compressor are specifically designed for enhanced C3 recovery at relatively gasoline rates. In addition to the above three products, the product fractionator separates the catalytically cracked material into heavy naphtha, light and heavy cycle oils and catalyst slurry. The heavy cycle oil is recycled back to the reactor. The catalyst slurry contains some lighter hydrocarbon oil, clarified oil, which is subsequently separated and may be recycled back to either the reactor or to the internal fuel oil pool. The flue gas handling system downstream of the INDMAX regenerator requires considerations no different than those of as FCC system. It consists of a flue gas slide valve to control the differential pressure between the reactor and regenerator followed by an orifice chamber. Heat is recovered by flue gas cooler in the form of high-pressure superheated steam. Flue gas is de-sulphurized before sending out. a) Propylene Recovery Unit The Feed to the PRU consists of INDMAX Propylene from upstream INDMAX unit. The feed is first sent to a Depropanizer to recover a C3-rich cut from the propylene. The Depropanizer bottom is routed to the refinery LPG pool. The Depropanizer overhead is totally condensed against cooling water in the Depropanizer Condenser and the bubble point liquid enters Depropanizer Reflux Drum. The Depropanizer pressure is maintained by the overhead pressure controller which permits hot vapor to bypass the Depropanizer Condenser. The drum is pressurized by the hot vapor in order to maintain the reflux drum liquid at, or near, bubble point. If non condensable build up in the reflux drum, they can be purged to the High Pressure Separator on pressure control for LPG recovery. Water condensed in the tower overhead system is routed to the Sour Water Flash Drum. The hydrocarbon liquid out of the reflux drum is split into two streams; the Depropanizer Reflux & PP Mix .The reflux is pumped back to the tower while the P-P Mix pumps send the mixed C3‟s product stream to the Propylene Recovery Unit (PRU). PP Mix (Depropanizer overhead) sent for drying & for RSH/COS removal. The dry, sulfur- free PP Mix is then sent on to the C3 Splitter system. The PP Mix from the PP Mix RSH/COS Removal beds is fed to one of three feed trays in the C3 Stripper. The C3 Stripper overhead is sent to the C3 Rectifier. The C3 Stripper uses high- capacity MD Trays. The C3 Stripper has an intermediate, or side reboiler and bottom reboilers using hot water and LP steam as heating media. The bottom of the C3 Stripper, C3 LPG, is cooled by cooling water in the C3 LPG Cooler and sent on flow control to battery limits for storage.

149 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report The C3 Rectifier gets feed from the overhead of the C3 Stripper. The C3 Rectifier also uses high-capacity MD trays. The bottoms of the C3 Rectifier are pumped by the C3 Splitter Transfer Pumps, on flow control reset by level, back to the C3 Stripper. The overhead of the C3 Rectifier flows to the C3 Rectifier Condensers, condensed by cooling water, and then to the C3 Rectifier Reflux Drum. There is a vapor-liquid equilibrium in the reflux drum. The non-condensable vapor leaves the drum and is recycled back to the High Pressure Separator Condenser in the gas plant. The pressure in the reflux drum is controlled by a hot vapor bypass. It opens when the pressure is low. It resets the vent recycle flow when the pressure is high. It is expected to always have a small vent recycle flow. The vent recycle is on flow control and it is reset by pressure. The polymer-grade propylene (PGP) is withdrawn below the tray #134.

2.7.2.9 Diesel Hydro treater The Diesel Hydro treating Unit reduces the levels of sulphur and other contaminants in diesel fuel products to meet regulatory specifications. The diesel feedstocks, including straight-run diesel liquid streams from the Crude Distillation Unit and gas oil streams from the bottom processing units, are mixed with recycle hydrogen and heated to the reaction temperature in a fired heater. The feed mixture is passed over reactor beds (cobalt-molybdenum/ nickel- molybdenum catalyst) with inter-bed quench. Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia by-products are removed in the water wash section and an amine contactor downstream of the reactor. The aqueous wash fraction containing some hydrogen sulfide and ammonia is removed in a separator, and routed to the sour water collection system. The H2S-rich amine from the contactor is regenerated before being returned to the recycle gas scrubber as lean amine. The sweetened gas from the amine absorber is recycled back to the recycle gas compressor at the reaction section inlet. A stream of H2-rich gas through makeup gas compressor meets the feed stream. Liquid organic effluent from the reactor is routed to a stripper where distillates and unstabilized naphtha is separated. Unstabilized Naphtha is routed to a stabilizer to remove light end hydrocarbons, which are routed to the LPG treating plant for processing and stabilized naphtha is further processed. The stripper bottoms are separated into naphtha, kerosene, and diesel fractions in a fractionator column. Naphtha-cut boiling point material is removed as the overhead stream

150 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report and is sent for treatment. The hydro treated kerosene and diesel streams are sent to storage for blending. 2.7.2.10 Naphtha Hydrotreater Unit a. Naphtha Hydrotreater Section Naphtha feed to NHT passes through a surge drum and a charge pump. It is then combined with a H2-rich gas stream from the recycle gas compressor. The combined feed enters the reactor feed/effluent exchanger, where the feed is heated. The heated feed is brought up to the reaction temperature in a feed charge heater. The hot feed down-flows through a fixed-bed reactor where the catalyst reacts with the feed to remove sulphur as H2S, in presence of H2.The reactor effluent is cooled first in the reactor feed/effluent exchanger and then in the product air cooler. Wash water is injected into the reactor effluent upstream of the product air cooler so that any salt build up in the condenser may be washed out. Reactor effluent flows out of the condenser at a low temperature to ensure complete recovery of naphtha and enters the separator The separator is provided with a mesh coalescer to ensure complete separation of vapor, hydrocarbon liquid and sour water. Sour water is sent to SWSU, H2-rich vapor is recycled back to the reactor through recycle gas compressor. A H2-rich makeup stream is fed into the recycle stream through a makeup gas compressor. Liquid hydrocarbon from separator is heated by heat exchange with stripper bottoms in stripper feed/bottom exchanger and enters the stripper near its top. A steam reboiler provides stripper heat duty. Overhead vapor from the stripper pass onto the stripper trim cooler partly condenses and separates into three phases in the stripper receiver. Net overhead gas from the stripper receiver is passed onto the refinery fuel gas system after amine treatment to remove all H2S. Sour water from the receiver is sent to SWSU. Hydrocarbon liquid from the receiver is sent back to the stripper as total reflux. Hydrotreated sweet naphtha from stripper bottom is cooled in stripper feed/bottom exchanger and then sent to naphtha/gasoline pool. b. Naphtha Splitter Section The Hydro treated Naphtha from Naphtha Hydro treating unit passes through a surge drum and a charge pump. The feed enters the splitter column and is fractionated. The heat to the fractionator is provided by a Reboiler. The Overhead vapors are condensed in the overhead cooler into a Reflux drum. The overhead Light Naphtha is partially pumped as reflux to the column and partially taken as Light Naphtha Product. The Heavy Naphtha from the bottom of the splitter column is taken as Heavy naphtha Product.

151 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report The Light Naphtha becomes feed for Isomerization Unit while as Heavy naphtha becomes feed to CCR Unit. c. Continuous Catalytic Reformer Unit The Catalytic Reforming Unit processes the heavy naphtha stream to make it more suitable for the production of motor gasoline. The reforming process involves chemically rearranging the hydrocarbon molecules to produce higher-octane materials. The octane number is a key measure of motor gasoline performance. Hydrogen gas is produced as a by product of reforming, and is used as feed to the Naphtha Hydro treater Unit, Distillate Hydro treater Unit. The heavy naphtha feed streams are mixed with recycle hydrogen, preheated by exchange with reactor effluent, heated to reaction temperature in the charge heater and sent to the first of a series of three to four reactors. Each reactor is preceded by a gas fired feed heater to maintain a constant inlet temperature profile for the individual reactors (as reforming reactions that take place in the reactors are predominantly endothermic). Effluent from the last reactor is heat exchanged with the combined feed, Condensed in the product trim cooler and sent to the separator. The reformed naphtha product (reformate) is separated from the by-product hydrogen. A portion of the hydrogen is compressed and recycled to be mixed with heavy naphtha feed material. The remaining hydrogen is compressed for use in other refinery processing units. The reformate product is fractionated in the debutanizer for separation of light ends. The reformate liquid product is sent to storage, for use in motor gasoline blending. The Catalytic Reforming Unit reactor catalyst is continuously regenerated in the Catalytic Reforming Unit Catalyst Regenerator. The regeneration section of the reformer provides a continual stream of clean coke-free active catalyst that is returned back to the reactors. Continuous circulation of regenerated catalyst helps maintain optimum catalyst performance at high severity conditions for long on-stream periods of reforming operation. Catalyst regeneration takes place in dedicated equipment and uses nitrogen, air, and perchloroethylene as regenerating agents. The Catalyst Regenerator performs two principal functions - solid catalyst regeneration and circulation. Spent catalyst from the final Catalytic Reforming Unit reactor vessel is conveyed to the Catalyst Regenerator, where it is regenerated in four steps:  Coke burning with oxygen,  Oxychlorination with oxygen and chloride,  Catalyst drying with air/nitrogen, and

152 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report  Reduction of catalyst metals to "reduced" oxidation states. Exiting the Catalyst Regenerator, the regenerated catalyst is conveyed back into the first Catalytic Reforming Unit reactor. Small quantities of hydrochloric acid and chlorine are generated in the Catalyst Regenerator. The vent gas from the Catalyst Regenerator is scrubbed in two stages with caustic solution and water in the Vent Gas Wash Tower for removal of acid gases, in particular hydrochloric acid. From the Wash Tower, the cleaned. d. Isomerization Unit The fresh C5 /C6 feed is combined with make-up and re-cycle hydrogen which is directed to a charge heater, where the reactants are heated to reaction temperature. The heated combined feed is then sent to the reactor. Either one or two reactors can be used in series, depending on the specific application. The reactor effluent is cooled and sent to a product separator where the recycle hydrogen is separated from the other products Recovered recycle hydrogen is directed to the recycle compressor and back to the reactor section. Liquid product is sent to a stabilizer column where light ends and any dissolved hydrogen are removed. The stabilized Isomerate product can be sent directly to gasoline blending. 2.7.2.11 Resid Hydro processing Unit a) Ebullated Bed Hydrocracker Fresh hydrocarbon liquid feed is mixed with hydrogen and reacted within an expanded catalyst bed that is maintained in turbulence by liquid upflow so as to achieve efficient isothermal operation. Product quality is constantly maintained at a high level by intermittent catalyst addition and withdrawal. Reactor products flow to the high-pressure separator, low pressure separator, and then to product fractionation. Recycled hydrogen is separated and purified. Process features include on-stream catalyst addition and withdrawal, thereby eliminating the need to shut down for catalyst replacement. The expanded bed reactors operate at near isothermal conditions without the need for quenches within the reactor. The reaction section uses a commercially proven low pressure hydrogen recovery system. Separating the reactor effluent and purifying the recycled hydrogen at low pressure results in lower capital cost and allows design at lower gas rates. An available process option is the integration of Ebullated bed technology with distillate hydrotreating or hydrocracking to produce high quality middle distillate products. This can eliminate the need for additional downstream processing. Unconverted oil from an Ebullated

153 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report bed HCU can be sold as a stable, low sulfur IFO or sent to another heavy oil conversion unit for further upgrading. b) Slurry Hydrocracker Slurry Hydrocracker Unit converts vacuum residue and other heavy residue feed stocks into higher valued distillate products. The heart of this technology is its reactor that can operate at high temperatures required to maximize vacuum residue conversion. Reactor conditions also allow the majority of the products to vaporize and quickly leave the reactor, thereby maximizing the residence time of the feed‟s heavier component and minimizing any undesirable secondary cracking reactions which would produce lower valued products and increase hydrogen consumption. c) Catalyst Preparation Section Catalyst is supplied to the refinery in the bulk form and stored in the raw catalyst storage silo. The raw catalyst is then transferred from the storage silos to the hammer mills, then to a second dust collector, weigh hopper, and finally into the slurry Mixing Tank and then transferred to the Slurry Storage Tank. The slurry storage tank has a pump and internal mixers to prevent any catalyst settling. The catalyst slurry is transferred to the feed heater by the Slurry Injection Pumps. d) Reaction Section The reactor section configuration contains all of the equipment necessary to accomplish where they are immediately quenched to terminate any reactions. The overhead streams from the reactor are sent to the Hot Separator. e) Gas Liquid Separation Section Effluent from the reactor is cooled by direct quenching with cool recycle gas upstream of the Hot Separator. The Hot Separator prevents heavy, high boiling reactor effluent components from causing water separation problems in the downstream Cold Separator. The vapor from the Hot Separator is cooled by heat exchange with recycle gas and reactor feed. Vapor is further cooled and wash water is added to prevent the formation of salts. Final cooling of the vapor takes place in the air cooler. The effluent then passes to the Cold Separator, where the sour water, hydrocarbon liquid and hydrogen rich gas are separated into three phases. The liquid from the Hot Separator flow so that the Hot Flash Drum. The Hot Flash Drum vapor is cooled and sent to Cold Flash Drum. The hot flash liquid is sent directly to the Stripper in the Fractionation Section. The feed to the Cold Flash Drum is cold separator liquid, cooled hot flash drum vapor, and cold separator sour water. The Cold flash drum vapor can be sent to Hydrogen Recovery. The liquid is preheated and sent to Stripper in Fractionation Section.

154 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report The hydrogen rich gas from Cold Separator id recycled back to the Reaction Section by the recycle gas compressor. Make up hydrogen is added to make up the consumption of hydrogen in various reactions. f) Fractionation Section This section contains all of the equipment to recover the light gaseous products and separate the liquid hydrocarbons recovered in the flash drums into the desired boiling range fractions. This section typically includes a Stripper, a Debutanizer, an atmospheric Fractionator and a vacuum Fractionator. The purpose of the steam-stripped Stripper is to remove 99.99% of the hydrogen sulfide overhead with negligible loss of kerosene boiling range material in the overhead liquid. The Stripper overhead vapor is sent to the off gas treating section of the refinery. Liquid hydrocarbons recovered in the Stripper overhead receiver are directed to downstream Debutanizer. The Stripper bottoms product flows to the Atmospheric Fractionator via Fractionator Feed Heater. In Atmospheric Fractionator naphtha and diesel is recovered. In order to recover vacuum cuts, Atmospheric Fractionator bottom is routed to Vacuum Fractionator where vacuum diesel, light vacuum gasoil and heavy vacuum gasoil are produced. Unconverted pitch is obtained from Vacuum Fractionator bottom and sent to storage. g) Hydrogen Generation Unit In a refinery, the reaction chemistry of hydro-processing units used for upgrading the straight run products or for increasing middle distillate yields rely on continuous supply of high purity hydrogen. For this purpose, Hydrogen Generation Unit is employed. The working of unit is based on catalytic reforming and pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system to produce 99.9 mole% pure hydrogen gases. Hydrogen is produced by steam reforming of Regasified Natural Gas. LNG from surge drum is pumped to LNG vaporizer. Vaporized LNG after mixing with recycled hydrogen and superheated steam enters the pre-reformer. Superheated steam is added to adjust the steam- carbon ratio, and the mixture is heated. The superheated feed-steam mixture is distributed through multi-tubular reactor consisting of high alloy reformer tubes containing nickel-based catalyst. Reforming reactions produces CO, CO2 and H2, and heat for the endothermic reaction is supplied by a number of burners with PSA purge gas and refinery fuel gas/ naphtha as fuel. The reformed gas after being cooled undergoes shift conversion in shift converters. These are cylindrical fixed bed reactors containing iron/chromium oxide or copper/zinc oxide catalyst.

Shift conversion reaction converts most of CO into CO2 and H2 in presence of the catalyst.

155 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report The heat removed from the converted process gas is used to vaporize and further heat the feed, and preheat boiler feed water and demineralised water (make-up). Downstream of Shift convertor is Process Condensate Separator where condensate is separated and routed for BFW formation and steam generation.

Process gas is purified to remove inert gas impurities like CO2, CO, CH4, N2 and water vapor by high-pressure adsorption of these impurities on molecular sieves, active carbon and alumina gel in Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system. All adsorbed gases are removed during desorption and regeneration of the beds, and used as reformer burners fuel. h) Sour Water Stripper Unit (Two stage) The rich amine stream from various units is received by a flash column in ARU battery limit. This flash column allows for the removal of any associated hydrocarbon along with some

H2S which might also be liberated. This H2S is removed from the liberated hydrocarbon vapors by means of a lean amine which is brought into contact with the vapors in a counter current fashion over packed bed. The rich amine from flash column free of any associated hydrocarbon is routed to amine regenerator column through lean amine/rich amine exchanger. This preheated rich amine stream contacts with reboiler vapors from bottom in a counter current fashion.

This ensures removal of H2S from rich amine stream. The vapors obtained from column top are condensed using a reflux condenser, the water thus obtained is sent back to the column as reflux thereby preventing the escape of ammonia to overhead system by contacting the vapors moving up in the column in a counter current fashion. The acid gases from column overhead circuit are routed to SRU in steam jacketed lines. In case of SRU shutdown or high pressure in column, the acid gases can also be routed to acid gas flare network.

2.7.2.12 Amine Regeneration Unit Rich amine from various absorber units is received in a flash column. Rich amine is allowed to flash in the column to drive off hydrocarbons. Some H2S also gets liberated.

The liberated H2S is again absorbed by a slip stream of lean amine solution making counter current contact with liberated gases over a packed bed. From the flash column, the rich amine is pumped by rich amine pumps under flow control to amine regenerator, after preheating in lean amine/rich amine exchanger. In lean amine/rich amine exchanger, the heat is supplied to rich amine by hot lean amine on shell side from the bottom of amine regenerator under level control. The lean amine from lean amine/rich amine exchanger is further cooled in lean amine cooler and routed to amine storage tank. Another

156 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report part of lean amine from lean amine cooler is used as slip stream to cartridge filter to remove solid particles picked up amine in the system. It is also used to remove foam causing hydrocarbon substances and thereafter routed to amine storage tank. In amine regeneration column, reflux water enters the column top and descends down.

This prevents amine losses into the overhead and ensures complete removal of H2S. The reboiler vapors from the bottom of the tower counter currently contacts the rich amine and strips off H2S. The overhead vapors from regenerator are routed to regenerator overhead condenser, where most of the water vapors condense and are pumped by amine regenerator reflux pumps as reflux to the column. The acid gases are routed to the SRU. In case the pressure goes high, acid gases are released to the acid flare. Reboiler heat by LP steam is supplied to the column through amine regenerator reboiler

2.7.2.13 Sulphur Recovery Unit Acid gas from ARU passes through acid gas knock out drum, to remove any liquid carryover, before feeding to main burner. Similarly, any liquid carryover in sour gas from SWSU is removed in sour gas knock out drum. The air to main burner is supplied by an air blower, which also supplies air to Super Claus stage and sulfur degassing. The air to the main burner is exactly sufficient to accomplish the complete oxidation of all hydrocarbons and ammonia present in the feed gas and to burn as much H2S as required to obtain desired concentration. The heat generated in the main burner is removed in the waste heat boiler by generating steam. Then the process gas is introduced into the first condenser in which it is cooled, sulphur vapor condensed and is separated from gas. Upstream of 1st Claus reactor, the process stream from waste heat boiler is heated in 1st steam reheater to obtain optimum temperature for the catalytic conversion. The effluent gases from 1st reactor passes onto 2nd sulfur condenser where sulphur vapor is condensed and uncondensed process gases pass to the 2nd steam reheater. Heated vapors are again subjected to conversion in the 2nd Claus reactor followed by cooling in the 3rd sulfur condenser. Then the process gas passes to the 3rd steam reheater and the 3rd Claus reactor. Following reactions takes place inside the Claus reactor.

H2S + 3/2 O2 SO2 + H2O + Heat

2H2S + SO2 2H2O+ 3/n Sn + Heat

2NH3 + 3/2 O2 3H2O + N2 The sulfur formed remains in vapor phase and goes in polymeric reaction, which forms polymericsulfur in vapor phase. The predominate reactions are:

157 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report

3S2 S6 + Heat

4S2 S8 + Heat Some of these combustion reactions also take place in the burner section of the reaction furnace. The lists of reactions taken place in the reaction furnace are given below:

CH4 + 2O2 CO2 + 2 H2O

CO2 + H2S COS + H2O

COS + H2S CS2 + H2O

2H2S 2H2 + S2

COS + H2O H2S + CO2 The unconverted H2S from the clause reactor is sent to the TGTU unit. Sulfur condensed in condensers is routed via sulfur locks to sulfur cooler and drained into sulfur degasification vessel. Stripping air is supplied to the spargers located at the bottom side of the vessel. This strips off H2S from liquid sulfur and oxidizes the major part of H2S to sulfur. Air leaving the stripping columns, together with H2S released from sulfur degasification vessel, and is routed to TGT Unit. Liquid Sulphur from pit is pumped by sulphur pumps to Sulphur Yard.

2.7.2.14 Tail Gas Treating Unit

The Tail Gas Treating Section is required for the removal of sulphur compounds (H2S, SO2,

COS, CS2, elemental sulphur) from the tail gas from the Claus Section. This is achieved by catalytic reduction of sulphur compounds to hydrogen sulfide and the subsequent absorption of hydrogen sulfide in a regenerable absorption medium (Amine). Rich amine is subsequently treated in Amine Regeneration Section in order to release the absorbed hydrogen sulfide which is recycled back to the Claus section for further recovery of elemental sulphur. The H2S recycled allows an overall sulphur recovery efficiency of 99.9% to be achieved.

Tail gas enters the hydrogenation reactor preheated at 130°C. H2 reducing gas is mixed with

Claus tail gas in the preheat effluent stream via a controller which is reset by the SO2 concentration in the downstream of the hydrogen reactor. The effluent is preheated under temperature controller by an electrical heater. A pre-sulfiding line is provided to activate the TGU catalyst using acid gas from the acid gas KOD. Thus line is not used for normal operation. The hot preheated effluent passes through the catalyst bed of the hydrogenation reactor where SO2 and other sulfur compounds are converted to H2S. Due to exothermic reaction, the gas temperature increases. The reactor inlet temperature should be held reasonably steady to

158 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report provide stable conditions in the reactor. To avoid excessive outlet temperature, the inlet gas may be controlled at somewhat lower temperature to compensate for more SO2 and/or S in the tail gas feed. However, excessively low reactor inlet temperature will result in poor conversion. The SO2 monitor at the reactor effluent is observed to maintain an excess of ~3%

H2. In addition, if the circulating water in the quench loop shows the presence of finally divided sulfur this indicates incomplete reaction and the SO2 has reached the column to form sulfur via the Claus reaction:

2H2S + SO2 3S + 2H2O This behavior should be monitored as the presence of the sulfur not only means the reaction is incomplete but the column can be plugged. Monitoring the pH of the quench water provides a pre-warning to an impending problem. The pH should be maintained near 7.0. Hot reactor exit gas must be cooled before entering the absorber. A first stage gas cooling is accomplished by generating steam at the TGU waste Heat Boiler, decreasing the process gas temperature. BFW is fed to the shell side of the TGU-WHB on level control and low pressure steam is generated. When the steam flow and/or BFW flow rate changes, the water level in the steam generator varies. Rising level in the generator indicates that the BFW flow rate is exceeding the rate of steam generation. In this case, signal to the level control valve will decrease. If the steam generation exceeds the BFW rate, level will decrease. In this case, signal to the level control will increase. The process gas enters the quench column. The quench water recirculating loop consists of the quench water pump, filter and water cooler. The cooler removes the heat from the column, cooling the inlet gas. The water flow to the top of the column is controlled after being filtered by quench water filter. Decreasing the water flow rate will increase the bottom temperature. Increasing the water rate will increase the load in the quench water circulation pumps and flow through the quench water cooler and column. The quench column recirculation system has the provision to adjust the pH by addition of caustic to the column recirculation line. The pH of the quench water to the water pump is monitored and kept at a value between 7 and 9 in an effort to prevent corrosion and inhibit colloidal sulfur formation. The water system should be visually inspected for cloudiness. Low pH will indicate incomplete reduction of sulfur compounds. Sour water condensed from the inlet feed is removed from the quench water loop via a zevel controller from the quench column and is sent offsite to sour water storage. The rate depends on the water in the Claus tail gas, water produced in the hydrogenation reactor and the amount of water overhead in the quench column.

159 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report Downstream of these reactors, additional recovery of reduced sulfur is accomplished in an amine absorber column that uses an aqueous methyl di-ethanolamine (MDEA) solvent to scrub H2S from the TGTU tail gas. The overhead stream from this contactor, containing very low sulfur levels, is sent to the tail gas thermal oxidizer for disposal. The rich MDEA solvent is regenerated in the TGTU amine stripper and H2S is returned to the inlet of the Claus SRU trains to be recovered. Regenerated MDEA solvent is recirculated back to the TGTU amine absorber column.

Tail gas from TGU is routed to the incinerator where residual sulfur is converted to SO2 and discharged into the atmosphere. The overhead line from the quench column flows to the absorber. The absorber is a packed column and is designed to absorb practically all the H2S in the recirculating Amine solvent. Amine absorber column that uses an aqueous methyl di-ethanolamine (MDEA) solvent to scrub H2S from the TGTU tail gas. The overhead stream from this contactor, containing very low sulfur levels, is sent to the tail gas thermal oxidizer for disposal. The rich MDEA solvent is regenerated in the TGTU amine stripper and H2S is returned to the inlet of the Claus SRU trains to be recovered. Regenerated MDEA solvent is recirculated back to the TGTU amine absorber column. The purpose of the incinerator system is to oxidize all the sulfur compounds in the tail gas to

SO2 and to vent the oxidized stream at high temperature and at a high elevation. The incinerator system included the two primary sections: In the incinerator burner, fuel gas is burnt with excess air to a temperature over 1650oC. The temperature is sufficient to heat the tail gas from TGU to ~768oC. This temperature is sufficient to oxidize the residual H2S and sulfur compound, while minimize NOx and SO3 formation. The effluent is discharged to the incinerator stack. The stack height of 60 meters is set to ensure dispersion of SO2 and to meet ground level concentration limits. Effluent tail gas from the TGU absorber is thermally oxidized with air to convert reaming sulfur compounds to SO2. Fuel gas and excess air are combusted at high temperature at the incinerator burner. Then it is mixed with the absorber overhead effluent tail gas in the primary oxidation chamber. The fuel gas and air rates are adjusted to control the temperature of the mixed and oxidized tail gas stream. The air is supplied by a dedicated incinerator air blower. Excess air is used to ensure sufficient oxygen is present to oxides the sulfur and other sulfur compound. Oxidation reactions are as follows:

H2S + 3/2 O2 SO2 + H2O

160 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report

2COS + 3 O2 2 CO2 + 2SO2

CO + ½ O2 CO2

CS2 + 3 O2 2SO2 + CO2

Sn + nO2 n SO2 The incinerator effluent temperature is measured and used to adjust the flow rate of fuel gas to maintain the desired operating temperature of 768oC. The incinerator is refractory lined with an external thermal shroud to control the shell temperature. Skin thermocouples are provided to monitor the shell temperature. The shell temperature should be maintained between 149 – 350oC. The air blower is designed to provide supply of air and stack while providing a minimum of o 2% excess O2 at an operating temperature of 768 C. Ambient air is drawn through the inlet filter to remove solid debris and to protect against water during heavy rainfall. The combustion gas from the burner and combustion chamber flow into the incinerator where adequate residence time is provided for combustion. The incinerator stack vents the effluent to the atmosphere. A SO2/O2 analyzer is provided to determine the SO2 and O2 in the effluent stream. Further P-25 configuration is capable of producing additional ~95 KTPA of ethylene and it is proposed to recover and utilize this additional ethylene during PNCP phase-2 expansion. The proposed block flow diagram in quantitative manner is enclosed as Annexue 27 and Figure 2-11.

2.14 Water Pollution Control Measures

Several measures are proposed to be incorporated at the designs stage towards minimizing the generation of wastewater and treatment of the generated effluent. Some of these measures are described below  Closed blow down system will be incorporated for hydrocarbon liquid discharges in all the process units, which will reduce the wastewater load to ETP both in terms of quantum load and quality. This is another of the in-plant control measures.  Appropriate segregation and collection philosophy (separate sewers for process waste, contaminated rainwater, spent caustic, cooling tower blow down, boiler blow down,etc.) will be incorporated for various effluents depending on individual stream characteristics.  A comprehensive wastewater management system to comply with treated effluent quality as specified by CPCB shall be established.  Process area will be paved to avoid contamination of soil/sub-soil/ground water in case of accidental spill/leakage of hydrocarbon liquids.

IOCL Panipat is having full-fledged effluent treatment plant system for maintaining CPCB discharge standards. The Effluent Treatment Plant is capable of handling (800 m3/hr.) to accommodate peak flows in during the wet season. The effluent treatment plant appropriate steps were taken to meet the most stringent norms. The Pollutants are treated and disposed in proper way as given in Table 2-20.

For further removal of TDS and increased recycle of wastewater RO system with Ultra filtration has been installed. The RO plant takes ACF outlet as feed and produce low TDS RO permeate water as Product which is used as feed to DM plant in TPS. Totally 690 KLPH of RO permeate is produced.

The Existing and Proposed ETP and RO plants flow diagram is given in Figure 2-20 and Characteristics of Effluent Generated is given in Table 2-22.

215 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report 3.5 Physical Conditions of PIA district

In this section, the physical conditions of PIA district are discussed in general and wherever possible references to the conditions prevailing in the study area in particular are also provided. The physical conditions are discussed as under:

 District profile  Drainage, land use, geology, Physiography  Natural resources  Climatic conditions, seismic zone characteristics and natural hazard

3.5.1 PIA District Profile

Panipat district, lying in the east central part of Haryana State and is located between 29°09‟15”: 29°27‟25” north latitudes and 76°38‟30”: 77°09‟15” east longitudes. The total geographical area of the district is 1268 sq. Km. administratively; the district is controlled by Rohtak division. The district is sub-divided into five development blocks namely Panipat, Bapoli, Samalkha, Madlauda and Israna. Source:http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Haryana/Panipat.pdf

3.5.2 Climatic Conditions

The climate of the district can be classified as sub tropical and semi arid. The area receives normal annual rainfall is about 680 mm which is spread over 31 rainy days. 77% of rainfall occurs during south-west monsoon. The normal annual rainfall of district based on average of 5 years (2006-2010) has been computed as 591 mm. Source:http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Haryana/Panipat.pdf

3.5.3 Natural Resources ofPIA District 3.5.3.1 Flora & Fauna Flora: The natural vegetation in the study area is sparse. Various kinds of trees and shrubs are found growing indigenously. On account of the pressure of population and extensive cultivation, very little land has been left under natural forest cover. Strip forests along the roads and canals and block forests of Babool (Kikar) are on the forest record. Most of the area is occupied by agriculture fields. Wherever the forests are present, they are of open evergreen scrub or thorn type comprising mainly of:

216 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report  ButeaMonosperma (Dhak)  Prosopis Cineraria (Jand)  CapparisDeciduas (Kaur)  CapparisSeparia (Hins) Among the fruit trees the important are MangiferaIndica (Mango) and SyzygiumCumini (Jamun). Some of the important medicinal plants in the study area are AchyranthesAspera, Argemone Mexicana, Croton Sparcifours, Euphorbia Hirta, SolanumXanthocarpum, TribulusTerristris, VitexNegundo, AbrusPrecatorius, Abutilon Indicum and AdhatodaVasica.

Fauna:The majority domestic animals are Cow, Buffalo, Horse, Donkey, Goat, Pigand Dog. The main Birds are Pintail, Coot, House Sparrow, Myna, Cattle Egret, Little Egret, Pond Heron, Indian Ring Dove, Blue Rock Pigeon, etc.,

3.5.3.2 Forest Resources The district is covered by Panipat forest range which comes under the Karnal Forest Division headed by the Deputy Conservator of Forests stationed at Karnal. The district falls in North Haryana Forests Circle with headquarters at Panchkula. As regards, proportion of forest cover, Haryana State (1.4 percent forest cover of total area) is at bottom place among the State of the country. Panipat district has 3.2 percent area under forests. Forests and forest produce have a recognised place both in rural and urban economy of the district. Nurseries of different tree species like Timber, fuel, shady, ornamental, fruit trees, etc., are raised for afforestation and reafforestation.

The district is not rich in its forest wealth. Tropical dry deciduous forests are found here. Mostly the vegetation consists of Khair (Acacia catecha), Kikar (Acacia nilotica), Shisham (Dalbergiasissoo), Nim (Azadirachtaindica), Tut (Morisalba), Sirish (Albizialebbeck), VilayatiImli (Inga dulcis) etc., Peepal (Ficusreligiossa) and Badh (Ficusbenghalensis) are often seen planted near village settlements and the people look upon these trees with religious ferour. Ber (Ziziphusmauratiana), Aam (Mangiferaindica) and Jamun (SygiumJambolanum) are the main fruit trees.

Due to extension of cultivation, very little of nature forest is left over. Presently, forests form 3.24 percent of the total area of the district. Wherever these forests are present, are of open type,

217 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063 EIA Report dry deciduous scrub, consisting of following shrubs and trees: Dhak, Jal, Kaindu, Jand, Jhar, Babul, Neem, Tut, etc. Shisham (Ficusreligiosa), Badh (Ficusbengalensis), etc., are the important tree species grown in the plains. Safeda (Eucalyptus hybrid) has been introduced since 1963 in forest areas and along the road routes. The natural vegetation is mainly of forest growth and its degradation stages.

During the monsoon a number of herbaceous plants appear as underground in the jungles. Kikar and Khajur are very common in swampy or marshy localities and in low-lying areas. Farash is common in saline areas where hardly and other tree can grow. Shisham is extensively planted along canal banks and road sides. Peepal and Badh are often planted near village settlements. To awaken people regarding medicinal plants, Haryana Forest Dept has developed 32 Herbal gardens/ Parks (between 2005 and 2011) in all the districts of the state and named the parks in the name of important medicinal plants. In Panipat district such a Herbal garden is named as BilvaVatika which is located in Patti Kalyana village.

There was a time when dense jungles of the district harboured various kinds of wild animals and birds. But with the development of communications, clearance of jungles, increases in irrigational facilities and extension of cultivation due to pressure of population, rich stocks have considerably finished, some species are almost extinct. Hog deer, which was quite abundant in swampy areas, is now available in traces. Grey and black partridges are sufficiently available. Black buck, nilgai and chinkara are still available though not in plenty. Hare are commonly available. Pea fowl is abundantly found in cultivated fields, in groves and orchards. Blue rock pigeons are also commonly noticed. Common quail comes with the ripening of wheat. The common and Jack snipe are also found in rice fields. The jheels abound in ducks and geese. The pintail, mallard, pochard, shoveller teals, comb duck, spotbil and goose are the common species of ducks available. The grey leg goose is to be found on the large marshes and the black barred goose is to be seen on river side. The pelicans, cranes, herons, bitterns and many sort of waders cover jheels; sars and kunj are conspicuous. In 1986, a Deer Park-cum-Breeding centre was established in National Fertilizers Limited at Panipat. Nardak area, once a favourite habitat of the lions and tigers is now completely devoid of these carnivores. Jackals can be seen which make much damage to crops.

3.9 Noise Environment

The prevailing ambient noise level at a particular location is nothing but the resultant (total) of all kinds of noise sources existing at various distances around that location. The ambient noise level at a location varies continuously depending on the type of surrounding activities.

Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at Eight (08) locations in and around 10Km distance from project area during the study period using precision noise level meter. The noise monitoring locations in the study area were selected after giving due consideration to the various land use categories. The land use categories include commercial, residential, rural and sensitive areas. Noise levels were recorded on an hourly basis for one complete day at each location using pre- calibrated noise levels. Map showing noise monitoring locations is Figure 3-19.

3.9.1 Results and Discussions

Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the day equivalent (Ld) and night equivalent (Ln) were calculated;  Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.  Ln: Average noise levels between 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.

The comparison of day equivalent noise levels (Ld) and night equivalent noise levels (Ln) with the respective CPCB stipulated noise standards for various land use categories are shown in the Table 3-11.

3.10 Water Environment 3.10.1 Surface Water Resources

The district possesses a good network of canals emanating from Western Yamuna Canal (Delhi Branch) which passes through the centre of the district in north south direction. All the distributaries depend upon this canal for water requirement. The canal takes off from the Yamuna river at Tajewala and a strong masonary weir is built. There is a regulator at Indri and canal bifurcates into Sirsa Branch and Main Branch. Again Main Branch bifurcates into Hansi Branch, Delhi Branch and Gohana distributary at Munak in Karnal district. Near Munak after bifurcation, the Hansi Branch entering from the north western edge of the district passes into Jind district. But the Delhi Branch of the Western Yamuna Canal after entering the district takes a direction towards Panipat town and then goes in a southerly direction and enters Sonipat district. Main distributaries that irrigate the Bhangar area of the district are Gohana Distributary, Bhutana Sub-Branch, Israna Distributary, Naraina Distributary, Bazidah Distributary, Hulana Distributary and Samalkha Distributary.

3.10.2 Surface Water Quality Assessment

Water quality monitoring and assessment can be used to determine ambient water quality, the extent and causes of a water quality problem, or to measure the effectiveness of best management practices being implemented in water system. Monitoring helps to determine the trends in the quality of the aquatic environment and the impact due to the release of contaminants, other anthropogenic activities, and/or by waste treatment operations (impact monitoring).To establish the baseline status of water environment, the representative sampling locations for surface water within a radial distance of 10Km from project site have been selected as per CPCB guidelines of Water Quality Monitoring through an adequate survey of the project area. Test methods used for the analysis of water quality parameters is given in Table 3-12. Water sampling and map of sampling location are given in Table 3-13 and Figure 3-20.

Figure 3-21Depth to water level during Pre-Monsoon& Post Monsoon in Panipat District 3.10.3.1 Groundwater Quality Block-wise ground water resource potential of the district has been assessed by CGWB as per GEC-97 as on 31st March 2009. Groundwater is the principal source for domestic and drinking purposes in almost all villages near the study area. The quality of the groundwater received is influenced by pollution of soil and air, industrial and domestic waste disposal, organic components, pathogenic microorganisms, application of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture, etc. Total Eight (08) ground water monitoring locations were identified for assessment in different villages around the project site based on the usage of sub surface water by the settlements/ villages in the study area. The groundwater results are compared with the desirable and permissible water quality standards as per IS 10500 (2012) for drinking water. Groundwater quality monitoring locations and results are given in Table 3-16 and Table 3-17. Map showing the groundwater monitoring locations are given in Figure 3- 22.

CHAPTER 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

297 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 Introduction

One of the important components in the process of environmental impact assessment is identification of significant impacts as it leads to other elements such as quantification and evaluation of impacts. Any change in environment whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially, resulting from impacting activity is called Environmental Impact. Each individual activity with respect to each environmental parameter will have its own impact potential. Proposed project activities will be carried out in such a way so that potential adverse/negative impacts are avoided, wherever possible. While for remaining impacts which are inevitable, practicable mitigation measures will be recommended to minimize the adverse impacts.

The prediction of impacts helps to develop and implement mitigation measures/environment management plan in such a way that the developmental activity will minimize the deterioration of environmental quality.

4.2 Proposed Project Activities

The proposed project will have impacts on environment during the tenure of two phases; i.e. construction phase and operation phase.

4.3 Construction Phase

Construction phase of the proposed project is temporary and will mainly involve the following generic construction activities

 Excavation  Formwork & concreting  Material handling and Transportation  Use of Tools and Potable power tools  Scaffolding  Crane and Rigging Equipment  Mechanical Equipment‟s  Working in confined space

298 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

4.3.1 Impacts During Construction Phase

As the main impacts of the construction phase are envisaged in terms of air pollution only, this natural mitigation would be significantly helpful in elimination of predicted impacts of the phase. However, the following principal major impacts to the environment are considered for further planning of mitigation measures:  The use of automobiles and machinery during construction can deteriorate the air quality and generate temporary emission.  The use of automobiles and machinery generates noise pollution from construction activities.  The irregular working hours, & traffic, night-working, flood-lighting and transportation damage the socioeconomic balance of surrounding region.  Effects may occur due to the accumulation of the contaminant in water resources & soil due to uptake of construction material.  Short term heavy construction might cause increase in noise level  Effects on work place condition & human health due to the accidents during the construction works.  Effects on the socio-economic activity due to direct impacts or indirect impacts on socio-economic activities.

4.3.2 Mitigation Measures for Construction Phase

 The entire construction activities will be confined with the designated area inside the existing premises.  The small amount of unused construction material shall be stored in proper area to utilise further in construction activities and surplus excavated material shall be disposed of in suitable pre-identified areas.  Construction material shall be stored at adequate distance from the water storage in order to prevent any chances of accidental leakage or spillage which could pollute the water storage  Wherever required impervious lining shall be provided to the storage premises to avoid accidental mixing or mixing due to fugitive losses.  To reduce the dust generation on site wherever & whenever required water shall be sprinkled on ground or stock pile of excavated soil.

299 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

 Equipment‟s / machineries shall be used efficiently and shall be kept shut in order to reduce air emission, noise pollution and consumption of energy resource  Emission from the equipment‟s/machineries shall be monitored on regular basis and possible implementation shall be provided on site  Transport vehicles shall be monitored & maintained regularly to control the emission quality and fuel consumption  Provision of necessary PPEs like face mask & eye-glasses to employees /labours engaged in construction activities.  The machineries/equipment used on site shall be of highly maintained so they do work with optimum efficiency generating less noise pollution  Operation of machineries/equipment causing high noise level shall be stopped during the night time and all such operations shall be planned for day time only.  Transportation activities shall not be conducted during the night (other than in case of emergency) to avoid high noise level in nearby villages/locality.

4.3.3 Land environment a. Impacts

Since it is an expansion project, it will be implemented within the M/s IOCL, PR, premises; there is no additional land to be acquired for the proposed project. The expansion project will be done in land area, which is identified as appropriate location based on environmental and engineering requirements. The activities carried out during the construction phase will involve a change in the land use from vacant industrial land to a built up industrial land, which will pose the following impacts on the land environment. 1. Compaction of soil and a change in the soil structure due to the use of heavy construction vehicles and machineries. 2. Removal of soil from the site. 3. Mixing of the topsoil and subsoil. 4. Dispersion of dust.

b. Mitigation Measures

1. Employing techniques such as restricting access during wet conditions, using protective boarding and low ground pressure machineries to minimize compaction of soil. 2. The removed soil will be properly stored for subsequent reinstatement.

300 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

3. Reuse of excess excavated material for road development, green belt development and landscaping. 4. A well designed closed depository for storage of construction materials to prevent land/soil pollution. 5. Effective stabilization of altered landforms to minimize soil erosion and the potential for water pollution (e.g. Vegetation). 6. Reuse of construction wastes such as sand, brick, gravel, cement for developing internal road and project structures. 7. Trucks with construction material susceptible for fugitive emission will be covered with tarpaulin covers during transport of construction materials 8. Transportation management will be adopted for movement of vehicles transporting construction materials and traffic will be regulated. 9. Vehicles deployed will confirm to emission norms (air/noise) of CPCB and have validPollution Under Control(PUC) certificates 10. Very old vehicles (more than 20 years) will not be allowed at site 11. Trucks will comply with standards for exhaust emissions and noise levels.

4.3.4 Air environment In order to predict the impact of constructional and operational activities on the ambient air quality, the data on emission, micrometeorology and from Indian meteorological department (IMD)were collected. All these data will be used to predict ground level concentration of

(GLCs) of SO2, NOX and PM10 for different temporal variations. In the construction phase, activities like site clearance, site leveling, movements of workers and material, construction of road, transportation activities will generate dust, gaseous pollutants and particulate matter and affect the air quality. Other impacts include - 1. Site Preparation-fencing, boundary and clearing of site will cause disturbance to the surroundings. 2. Excavation, backfilling and leveling. 3. Hauling and dumping of earth materials and construction spoils. 4. Foundation works can cause dust generation which will decrease the air quality and it can impact the labors working. 5. Fabrication, erection of steel structures such as tanks, pipelines and sheds. 6. Construction of internal roads drains and water supply. 7. Cleaning and landscaping.

301 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

8. Emission from Construction DG & Construction Equipment‟s. a. Mitigation Measures

1. Barricading the construction area and minimizing exposed areas to reduce dust generation. 2. Areas generating dust during dry weather will be sprayed with water. 3. Appropriate enclosed areas for storage of construction materials. 4. Facilitating the workers with the required personal protective equipment‟s. 5. Efficient usage and maintenance of equipment‟s/machineries to lower air emissions, noise pollution and consumption of energy resource. 6. Exhaust vent of DG set will be provided with adequate stack height to ensure quick dispersal of gaseous emissions. 7. Periodic monitoring and maintenance of transport vehicles to check on the quality of emission to be within permissible limits and consumption of fuel. 8. Regular inspection of construction site to ensure timely removal and disposal of construction debris to the dumping sites or for recycle/reuse. 4.3.5 Water environment

a. Impacts

1. Contamination of watercourses by leakage from fuel and materials storage areas. 2. Oil and suspended solids in run-off from vehicles and access roads. 3. Use of heavy machineries and vehicles causes compaction of topsoil due to which a change in the surface water drainage pattern may occur. 4. Generation of sewage / process effluent and blow down. b. Mitigation measures

1. The water demand during the construction phase will be met from Western Yamuna Canal. 2. Impenetrable lining will be provided to storage premises to avoid accidental mixing or fugitive losses. 3. Storehouse will be located at a distance away from the water storage area to prevent accidental release or spillage. 4. Proper management of rain water run-off during monsoon and creating bunds to utilize the rain water for construction purpose. 5. An appropriate water management system will be implemented.

302 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

4.3.6 Noise environment

a. Impacts

During construction phase, the noise will mostly be produced because of building activities and machineries used for carrying out construction. Construction activities mainly involve diesel generators, laying of foundation, erection of superstructure, clearing of obstruction and trees if any from the proposed area. Activities such as construction of labor camps, onsite office, pneumatic hammers, compressors, concrete mixers, construction material plants however, do not cause significant noise pollution. But if the work continuous for longer duration, it can affect the health of local people and workers involved in the project work. b. Mitigation Measures

1. Barricading the construction site. 2. The green belt will help in reducing the noise nuisance. 3. Selection of equipment‟s of high quality. 4. Proper planning and organizing of construction activities which will help in avoiding loud verbal exchanges between the intervening parties. 5. Transportation activities will be carried out only during the day and only in case of emergency, the transportation activities will be permitted in night time. 6. The vehicles used for construction activities and transportation of materials will be provided with the horn of low noise level as recommended by RTO/ concerned authorities. 7. Minimization of operation time of noisy equipment and operation of machineries/equipment that generate high levels of noise only during day time. 8. Inadequate use of plant and equipment, namely, running on full power when the work does not necessitate it will be avoided. 9. Personal protective equipment‟s, education and public awareness and exposure control through rotation of work will be provided to the workers engaged in construction activities in the area generating high levels of noise. 4.3.7 Waste generation

The source of waste are metal pieces, cardboards, wooden scrap, sand gravels etc., generation of chemical waste by general site practices (e.g. vehicle and plant maintenance/servicing), municipal waste generated by site workers.

303 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

a. Mitigation measures

1. Recycling/reusing/recovering materials where possible and thereby neglecting or reducing the disposal requirements. 2. Separation of construction material for reuses either to be used on onsite filling or can be used as public fill. 3. Training the staff in waste minimizing practices. 4. Chemical waste should be stored in a locked area so as to avoid leaching of harmful chemicals in the soil or nearby water bodies (If any). 4.3.8 Ecology

Except for the removal of weeds, the ecological status of the site will be well maintained by conserving/ developing the greenbelt at the site.

4.3.9 Social environment

A socio-economic study was undertaken with the help of secondary sources in assessing aspects which are dealing with social and cultural conditions, and economic status in the study area. The study provides information such as demographic structure, population dynamics, infrastructure resources, and the status of human health and economic attributes like employment, per-capita income, agriculture, trade, and industrial development in the study area. There will be temporary employment for manpower required during construction phase available from local communities. Overall socioeconomic effect of construction phase will be positive due to direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local population Summary: Due to the running refinery nearby so adequate precautions must be taken, in areas of 1. Work permit system must be followed for carrying out any job inside the Refinery, Flare System, Effluent Treatment Plant(ETP), and New Tank Farm(NTF).Presently permit system available are Hot Permit, Cold Permit, Height Permit, Excavation Permit, Confined space Permit, Radiography Permit, Electrical energizing/ deenergizing Permit & Vehicle Entry Permit. The work permit system should be followed as per OISD-105 2. Jay Walking of Construction workers in the refinery area 3. Labour camps to be totally eliminated. Even small labour camp should not be allowed.

304 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

4. No hot work including Civil jobs like chipping, excavation etc. which produces open flame/sparks ignition should be carried out in the plant area unless such work is authorized by fire & safety permit issued by IOCL/ authorized representative. 5. All contractor workers must have to undergo safety briefings before they are issued gate passes

4.4 Operation Phase From an Environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to its potential to invoke long term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur during this operational phase of the project are Air pollution (gaseous Emissions), Effluent generation, Noise Generation, Solid waste Generation etc.

4.4.1 Impacts During Operational Phase

Because of its potential to create long-term impacts, this phase is very important from the environmental impact point of view. The basic impacts like gaseous emissions, water consumption/ pollution and solid waste will have the potential to adversely affect air, water and land / soil in the vicinity of the project site.

This phase will broadly include the following direct and indirect activities / actions:

 Storage and transportation of raw materials and finished products.  Gaseous emissions  Effluent Generation, treatment and disposal  Noise Generation  Solid waste generation 4.5 Air Environment Baseline data reveals that the ambient air quality has been monitored at 8 locations for 14 parameters as per NAAQS/CPCB guidelines within the study area. The maximum and

minimum baseline levels taken is PM10 (212.14 and 53.17µg/m³), PM2.5 (107.24 and

27.44µg/m³), SO2 (29.96 and 12.50µg/m³), NO2 (61.10 and 20.69µg/m³). The average of

Stack emission of PM, SOx & NOx are due to process units. Adequate measures will be taken to control Air Pollution.

4.5.1 Meteorological data

The meteorological data for a month, i.e. from March to May 2019 was considered for the study. Data included for AERMET were daily wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure, precipitation, and solar radiation recorded during the period. AERMET reformats meteorological data so that it can be used as input for AERMOD model.

The wind rose for the study period is given as Figure 4-1

Figure 4-1 Wind rose diagram of Meteorological data considered for Modelling (March to May 2019) 4.5.2 AERMET Process For the 3 phase AERMET processing of the meteorological data, specifications of the land use in the area are required to determine the terrain roughness for modelling. The land use was characterized for in and around the site. The surface characteristics for the site and surroundings were selected and used to calculate the Albedo, Bowen ratio and surface roughness parameters.

4.5.3 AERMOD Process

AERMOD Software Version 8.0.5 was used for air dispersion modelling and is applicable to a wide range of buoyant or neutrally buoyant emissions up to a range of 50. In addition to more straight forward cases, AERMOD is also suitable for complex terrain and urban dispersion scenarios.

AERMOD is a steady-state plume model. In the stable boundary layer (SBL), it assumes the concentration distribution to be Gaussian in both the vertical and horizontal. In the convective

307 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

boundary layer (CBL), the horizontal distribution is also assumed to be Gaussian, but the vertical distribution is described with a bi-Gaussian probability density function (pdf). This behavior of the concentration distributions in the CBL was demonstrated by Willis and Deardorff (1981) and Briggs (1993). Additionally, in the CBL, AERMOD treats “plume lofting,” whereby a portion of plume mass, released from a buoyant source, rises to and remains near the top of the boundary layer before becoming mixed into the CBL. AERMOD also tracks any plume mass that penetrates into the elevated stable layer, and then allows it to re-enter the boundary layer when and if appropriate. For sources in both the CBL and the SBL AERMOD treats the enhancement of lateral dispersion resulting from plume meander. The emissions from proposed stacks are estimated and used for the air dispersion modeling as shown in Table 4-1. Maximum incremental values for PM, SO2, NOx and CO have been represented as pictorial concentration contours and as tabular concentration values in following section

Due to propose project there will be slight increment in the vehicle movement but the level of service (LOS) anticipated will be Free Flow. 4.6 Noise Environment a. Impact

The noise generated during the operational phase can be divided into two categories

A) Stationary source due to heavy duty machineries at the project site such as compressors, DG sets, pumps etc. B) Mobile source corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization, materials, material transportation, liquid fuel transportation to project site, etc. Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with the proposed project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations beyond the site would be negligible during normal operation phase. However, the impacts on workers engaged in the plant area would be considerable due to occupational exposure. The proposed fixed major equipment/units such as compressors, pumps, DG sets etc., also generate vibrations during operational phase and may cause exposures to the workers/operators engaged at these units.

325 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

All equipment‟s in the plant produce 40 to 55 dB(A) after control measures and equipment‟s are designed/operated to have a noise level not exceeding 85 to 90 dB(A) as per the requirement of Occupational Health and Safety Administration Standard (OHSAS). In addition, since most of the noise generating equipment would be in closed structures, the noise transmitted outside would be still lower and for any other case of higher noise sufficient safety ear plugs and ear muffs will be provided to the employees. b. Mitigation Measure

 The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, pumps etc. will be enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for an insertion loss of 25 dB (A) and silencers to other equipment etc.  Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring cumulative noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).  The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly time weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard limits.  Adequate PPE will be provided to the staff exposing to noise risks.  Acoustic silencers will be provided in equipment wherever necessary.  Acoustic design with sound proof glass paneling will be provided for critical operator cabins / control rooms of individual modules as well as central control facilities.  Use of personal protective equipment‟s/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs etc. will be strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.  Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental works will be carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts will be lubricated to minimize noise emissions.  Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub plantation; landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle parking areas and along approach roads.  Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational phase of the project.  Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet international standards and foundations will be so designed to minimize vibrations and secured properly.

326 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

 Vibration generating sources and their platforms should be maintained properly to minimize vibrations and related impacts.  Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies like Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety (DGMS), which is being practiced would be continued to mitigate the workers‟ health effects due to vibrations.  Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.  Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of construction materials will be planned in line with the same. 4.7 Water Environment

No water will be extracted from ground water sources. The source of water will be from Western Yamuna Canal. The total raw water requirement for existing facility is 3545 m3/hr and for proposed operation phase total requirement will be 3241 m3/hr. On total after expansion 6786m3/hr of water of which the fresh water of 4120 m3/hr will be taken from existing water source (Western Yamuna Canal). Hence there will be no separate permission is required for the proposed projects.

Existing effluent is being treated in existing ETP-1 of capacity 400m3/hr, Combined ETP-2 of capacity 400m3/hr and Combined PX/PTA ETP of capacity 275m3/hr and treated effluent is being used for cooling water and balance effluent of quantity 255m3/hr from PX/PTA ETP is being discharged in Thirana drain with valid approval from HSPCB (No.HSPCB/Consent/:313105620PITCTO7559304 dated 04-05-2020).

4.7.1 Impacts On Surface Water Bodies

PTA-ETP outlet water is discharging in Thirana Drain which have a valid CTO- No.HSPCB/Consent/313105620PITCTO7559304 dated 04.05.2020 valid till 30.09.2021 for discharge quantity of 255m3/hr. The logbook of daily discharge into Thirana Drain and the treated effluent test report from NABL & MoEF accredited lab- M/s. Nitya Laboratories is attached as Annexure 28.

4.7.2 Mitigation measures on Ground Water

Though the proposed development will not draw Groundwater, the following measures proposed as a part of development to improve the ground water scenario and also to ensure that ground water is not contaminated.

Strategic plans such as implementing the following structures for rain water harvesting and groundwater recharging purposes in project site will be adhered.

 Recharge pits  Only roof-top rain water harvesting  Monitoring of water quality and groundwater level variations in the project site. Due to discharge in Thirana drain, there is higher values of BOD, COD and SAR (NEERI Report 2020) and therefore secondary effects are possible in nearby villages water resources.

4.7.3 Impacts Due to Wastewater Generation The source of wastewater generation from the project is as follows:  Industrial wastewater/effluent  Cooling water blow down  Domestic Sewage  Equipment cleaning and floor washings, etc.

331 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

The untreated wastewater if discharged into nearby surface water may affect the surface water and/or if disposed off on land without treatment may pollute the ground and surface water.

4.7.4 Mitigation Measures to Wastewater Generation Various mitigation measures are proposed to be adopted to minimize the impact if any on the water environment due to the wastewater/runoff generation during the operation phase of the project.  Institutional arrangement for monitoring of water pollution.  Corrective and preventive measures if any contamination happens.  Monitoring should ensure early determination of any threats to water resources in terms of contamination.  If contaminated, proper expertise will be brought to schematize the various recharge mechanism to reduce or nullify the impact effects. 4.8 Effluent Water Quality, Quantity and Treatment Method a. Existing

Approx. 1030 m3/hr of effluent and 235 m3/hr of sewage is generated in the existing facility which is reused back in RO plant and Cooling tower. The quantity of 775 m3/hr is treated in ETP-1 and 2 and being completely reused in RO plant and Cooling tower. Remaining 255m3/hr is treated in the PTA-ETP and Treated effluent from PTA ETP is discharged in Thirana drain (vide permission- No.HSPCB/Consent/:313105620PITCTO7559304 dated 04- 05-2020). The 235 m3/hr of sewage is generated in which 125 m3/hr is sent to horticulture and balance is sent to ETP for treatment.

b. Proposed

Due to the proposed expansion Approx. 362 m3/hr of effluent and 9 m3/hr of sewage are generated in the existing facility. The Effluent of 360m3/hr is reused back for process steam generation, 2m3/hr of sludge is generated which will be disposed off in scientific manner and sewage of 9 m3/hr is reused back for Green Belt. Rejects of 48 m3/hr effluents from RO/DM is directed to MEE and to ATFD, finally remaining 4 m3/hr of effluent as salt from ATFD is discharged to Disposal Facilities.

Zero liquid discharge is practiced for existing and proposed effluent generated. Hence, the impacts of effluent discharge on water bodies are avoided.

332 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

Panipat Refinery has developed a Modernised effluent treatment plant (ETP) for treatment of process wastewater, generated from various units of the refinery as well as Township.

Treated effluent from the ETP shall be routed to a RO-DM Plant for generating DM quality Water. The new ETP shall consist of treatment facilities/chains/systems along with associated facilities for treatment of effluent streams: The capacity of ETP shall be 450 m3/hr.

4.8.1 Process Description

The principal contaminants present in these effluent streams are mainly oil (free and emulsified), suspended solids, phenols, sulphides, ammonia and organic matter contributing to BOD &COD. The OWS feed effluent received by pumping at the Effluent Treatment Plant battery limit shall be stored and equalized in OWS Tank and then treated in API oil separators for Free oil removal. The Stripped Sour Water shall be stored in Stripped Sour Water Tanks and then mixed with OWS Stream at the inlet of TPI and treated in TPI oil separators for free oil & Suspended solids removal. The effluent after free oil removal in API and Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI) separator shall be fed to of Dissolved Air Floatation unit for removal of emulsified oil.

333 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

The effluents after oil removal shall be stored in Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) Feed Tank. The effluent from SBR feed tank is routed to Walnut shell filter for further Oil & TSS removal and then biologically treated in 3 basin SBR system. The treated water from SBR unit shall be processed in the polishing section consisting of High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier (HRSCC), Dual Media Filters (DMF) and Activated Carbon Filters (ACFs). The l treated effluent from ACF shall meet MINAS standards and further routed to RODM recycle plant for DM production. No Effluent is disposed outside the refinery. The contaminated rain water stream shall be treated in a CRWS treatment chain of consisting of TPI oil separator for oil removal, DMF and ACF for final polishing before disposal/routing to storm water drain/horticulture/RO-DMP feed. Spent Caustic received in the ETP from the process units shall be equalised in the holdup tanks and then processed at a control rate. The spent caustic effluent shall be treated at controlled rate in a chemical oxidation section with H2O2 / Ozone in presence of FeSO4 as catalyst for removal of contaminants such as Sulphides, Phenols, COD, BOD, etc. The treated caustic shall be sent to the ZLD Plant with a provision of final treatment with the OWS effluent in the ETP.

4.8.2 Sanitary Sewage Treatment A Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) based package sanitary sewage treatment plant has been envisaged to treat Sanitary Effluent to remove mainly total suspended solids, COD and BOD.

4.8.3 VOC Control System Handling of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in terms of their collection from oil handling units, routing to a Centralized VOC handling facilities and treatment in package unit (consisting of activated carbon based adsorption) to meet the VOC emission norms proposed by CPCB.

4.8.4 Slop & Sludge Handling

Slop oil shall be generated mainly form OWS tank, API, TPI. This slop oil shall be collected in wet slop oil sump and then pumped to wet slop oil tan. After draining of water from slop oil tank bottom, the dry slop oil is transferred to refinery heavy slop oil tanks.

334 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

Separate Sludge handling facilities are provided for each Oily, Chemical and Bio sludge produced from ETP. Supernatant from each sludge handling section shall be rerouted to OWS Tank for recycle.

The Oily and Chemical Sludge after dewatering shall be disposed to the Secured Landfill.

The dewatered bio sludge from the ETP shall be utilized as manure in the green belt of the complex.

4.9 Land Environment

4.9.1 Potential Impact Due to Location The proposed expansion from existing 15MMTPA to 25MMTPA is proposed within the IOCL existing facility, there will be no additional land acquisition and resettlement or Rehabilitation required. Therefore, there will not be any direct impacts.

4.9.2 Impacts Due to Changes in Land Use Pattern

One of the factor that is usually considered as a major impact from any project is the land use change. But since the proposed expansion will be established within the existing IOCL site, no land use change is foreseen, as the current land use is that of industrial.

4.9.3 Mitigation Measures

The following mitigation measures may be explored:

 Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines  Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken parts of the conveyance pipeline in case of any leakage is detected.  Necessary preventive measures for spillage from pipelines, such as surface RCC channels along the pipelines shall be adopted.  Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using internal use. 4.10 Solid Waste Management

4.10.1 Impact Due to Solid Waste Generation During operation phase, various types of solid waste are likely to be generated which can be broadly categorized as Hazardous Waste and Non-hazardous Waste. Further, the generated solid waste generation may include Biodegradable, Recyclable and Inert compounds. The details of solid waste generation and its management proposed are discussed in Chapter 2, Section 2.15.

10.5 Environmental Management Plan for Construction Phase

Environmental monitoring will be done during construction. The focus of monitoring during the construction phase will be to implement systematic observations to periodically measure the success of proposed mitigation measures and continue baseline data collection. The majority of construction monitoring shall be done visually and verified by the Construction Supervisor. Specific aspects to be addressed during construction include:

 Air quality  Noise  Water quality and water resources  Solid waste  Land environment

10.5.1 Air Quality

There will be major construction activities for the project, civil work like foundation for new vessels and supporting infrastructure for the new machineries will be carried out. During construction activities, dust emission and emissions from the movement of vehicles and

373 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

construction activity is expected. However, following measures will be taken to reduce / contain such emissions.

 Water will be sprinkled on inner roads to prevent re-suspension of dust into ambient air due to movement of heavy vehicles etc.  Roads shall be kept free from mud, debris and other obstacles.  Separate civil construction material storage yard will be created within the site and it will be enclosed.  Cement bags will be separately stored under cover in bales. Sand will be stacked under tarpaulin cover.  Transport vehicles and construction equipment‟s/ machineries will be properly maintained to reduce air emissions.  All construction workers will be provided appropriate PPEs like dust mask, ear plug, helmet, safety belt etc. and it will be mandatory for them to wear while entering the site itself.  Increase signage and speed limit postings

10.5.2 Noise Environment

Following measures are proposed during construction period to mitigate adverse impacts of noise:

 Construction activities will be done on round the clock basis.  All machineries to be used for construction purpose will be of highest standard of reputed make and compliance of noise pollution control norms by this equipment‟s will be emphasized.  All construction workers working in high noise areas will be provided appropriate PPEs like ear muffs and made to wear them during working hours.

10.5.3 Water Quality and Water Resources

 Since the construction workers are hired from nearby villages there will be no housing facility at the site for construction workers and hence lesser water requirement  Proper and sufficient sanitary facility will be created at the site in the form of Toilets & existing ETP will be used for treatment of sewage generated.

374 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

10.5.4 Solid Waste

 Main solid waste generation during construction phase will be construction debris like rubble, brick bats, debris, steel scrap, wooden scrap, sand, gravel etc. However, these materials are inert in nature and will not result into leaching of any substance or its constituent.  These materials will be carefully sorted and will be used within premises for filling of low lying areas.  Wooden scrap, steel scrap will be given to authorized scrap dealers.  On completion of civil work, all debris etc. will be completely removed from site to avoid any incompatibility with future use.  All the wastes will be stored at a designated site within the premises to prevent scattered discharge on land.

10.5.5 Land Environment

 Top soil layers shall be stored for reclamation and re-vegetation and reforestation at approved locations.  Existing storm water drainage facility will be used for disposal of storm water.

10.5.6 Material Handling Storage and Transportation

375 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

compliance of EC condition green belt area augmentation, if any will be done through avenue plantation.

10.5.8 Socio Economic

There will be temporary employment for manpower required during construction phase available from local communities. Overall socioeconomic effect of construction phase will be positive due to direct and indirect employment opportunity for the local population.

10.6 Environmental Management Plan for Operation Phase

Monitoring during the operation phase shall reflect those environmental and socio-economic issues that may persist upon completion of construction activities. Monitoring shall focus on evaluating the effectiveness of project mitigation measures and continue baseline monitoring and sampling. The mitigation measures to prevent adverse impact during the operation phase of the project shall focus on the following:

 Air quality  Noise environment  Solid and hazardous waste  Land environment

10.6.1 Air Quality Management

Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during the operation phase of the project on the surrounding air environment.

10.6.1.1 Ambient Air Standards The ambient air quality around the premises will be limited to those limits as per National Ambient Air Quality Standards, National Ambient Air Quality Standards (Gazette No. 217 dated 18 November 2009)

376 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

10.6.1.2 Emission Standards The emission from the new facilities envisaged in this configuration study will be conforming to the standards stipulated by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF&CC) vide their notification GSR 186€ dated 18th March 2008. *As per MoEF&CC notification dated March 18, 2008 vide circular no G.S.R 186(E) for Oil Refinery Industry. 1. The refinery complex is designed to meet all statutory requirements. Some of the major features of these environmental measures are as follows: 2. In case of mixed fuel (gas and liquid) use, the limit shall be computed based on heat supplied by gas and liquid fuels. 3. All the furnaces/ boilers with heat input of 10 MMKcal/hr. or more shall have continuous systems for monitoring of SO2, NOx, CO and PM. OCEMS connectivity to CPCB and SPCB will be ensured. Manual monitoring for all the emission parameters in such furnaces/ boilers shall be carried out once in two months. 4. All the emission parameters in furnaces/ boilers having heat input less than 10 MM KCal/hr. will be monitored once in a quarter. 5. In case of continuous monitoring, one hourly average concentration values shall be met 98% of the time in a month. Any concentration value obtained through manual monitoring, if exceeds the limiting concentration value, shall be considered as noncompliance. 6. Data on Ni + V content in the liquid fuel (in ppm) shall be reported. Ni + V content in the liquid fuel shall be monitored once in six months, if liquid fuel source & quality are not changed. Incase of changes, measurement is necessary after a change. In addition to the above, the particulate matter in emissions from stacks should not exceed the maximum permissible limit is 10 mg/Nm3 for gaseous fuel and 100 mg/Nm3 for liquid fuel. The refinery complex is designed to meet all the statutory requirements. Some of the major features of these environmental measures are as follows:  Low sulphur fuels will be used for internal fuel purpose.  Heaters/furnaces will be provided with well proven Low NOx burners to reduce the emissions of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).  Under normal circumstances, there will be no continuous/intermittent point releases of volatile hydrocarbon streams. However, if during startup/shut down or an emergency situation any hydrocarbon streams are released, they will be directed to an elevated flare for complete combustion. This will eliminate the possibility of forming

377 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

an explosive mixture due to sudden release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere.  The flares elevation will be such that there will be no impact of thermal radiation on the operating personnel in the refinery. To ensure complete combustion of released hydrocarbons through flares, a pilot burner shall always be burning with the aid of fuel gas. Further, to ensure smokeless and non-luminous flaring, the steam provision at the flare tip is also envisaged.  The heights of various stacks will be determined taking into consideration the "Guidelines for Minimum Stack Height" as per notification by MoEF dated 19th May 1993, which fixes the minimum stack height based on emission of Sulphur Dioxide. This is as given below: H=14(Q) 0.3 Where H = Stack Height in m, Q = Sulphur Dioxide emission in kg/hr. If, the Pollution Control Board specifies any minimum stack height, the higher of the two will be selected.  The refinery complex is designed in such a way that the total emissions from the refinery complex will meet all the applicable standards/stipulations.

10.6.1.3 VOC Control, Emission and Monitoring Fugitive emissions are primarily due to intermittent/continuous leakage or evaporation of Volatile Organic carbons (VOCs) from processing/storage area of the refinery. The major sources of such fugitive emissions of VOCs in the refinery are the main processing area, the storage tank farm area for crude oil & products and the loading/unloading gantry area. These fugitive emissions originate from the compressor joints and seals used in flanges, pumps, valve packings and connection joints to the atmosphere like sampling, relief valves, etc. In order to minimize the fugitive emissions, the following measures will be taken during engineering:  Minimum number of flanges, valves, etc.  High grade gasket material for packing.  Usage of state-of-the-art low leakage valves preferably with bellow seals.  Usage of pumps with Double Mechanical seals for light hydrocarbon services.  Provisions of floating roof storage tanks.

378 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

 Provisions of double seal in some of storage tanks.  Provision of covering the oil-water separation units in ETP.  Provision of seals in the drains and manholes. IOCL Panipat Refinery has VOC Monitoring system in Existing Refinery and VOC facility in proposed Effluent Treatment Plant will be installed in Proposed expansion.

10.6.2 Noise Monitoring

Impacts of noise on workers are minimized through adoption of adequate protective measures in the form of a) Use of personal protective equipment (earplugs, earmuffs, noise helmets etc.), b) Education and public awareness, and c) Exposure control through the rotation of work assignments in the intense noise areas.

10.6.3 Water and waste water management Oil Spill Management

Hay filters are installed along both the open channels running through Panipat Refinery to prevent spilled oil from escaping out of the Refinery premises with the open channel water. Also oil traps have been installed at strategic locations to arrest oil spillage.

Rainwater Harvesting There are 21nos. of rainwater harvesting pits available within the IOCL Panipat Refinery township and 8nos of rainwater harvesting pit available in refinery complex. Additionally 34 nos of rainwater harvesting pits completed in IOCL Panipat refinery complex. The total catchement area on roof top is 78087 m2.

10.6.4 Land Environment During the design stage itself due care will be taken to select the process technologies generating minimum solid wastes so that their handling, treatment and disposal do not cause any serious impact on the existing land environment. Also, efforts will be made to recycle some of the spent catalysts by way of returning to the original supplier for reprocessing. The solid wastes management plan proposed is briefly described below. The provisions of Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2008, amended up to 2009, will be complied with. There are primarily four types of solid wastes generated in a refinery: 1. Spent Catalyst /Chemicals 2. ETP Sludge‟s 3. General Solid Wastes 4. Tank Bottoms Sludge

10.6.4.1 Spent Catalyst/Chemicals Patented catalysts are used in various refinery process units. Some of the spent catalyst will be sent back to the original supplier for reprocessing. The other catalysts are normally sent to a secured landfill. The chemicals used in various process units will be procured, stored inside the closed vessel inside the refinery and used as per the rules of “Manufacture Storage and import of hazardous chemicals Rules 1989, amended 2000”.

10.6.4.2 ETP Sludge The oily & chemical sludge separated in different units of ETP shall be dewatered, handled and disposed so as to produce zero effluent discharge. The bio sludge from bio-treatment section will be separately dewatered and utilized inside the refinery as manure

10.6.4.3 General Solid Wastes Small quantities of non-hazardous, non-recyclable solid waste consisting of waste refractory, spent insulation, decoking solid waste used filter cartridges, spent charcoal, spent clay and sand will be generated will be sent to nearby authorized landfill agency for further disposal. 10.6.4.4 Tank Bottom Sludge This sludge is generated periodically during the tank cleaning operations approx 1000 T/ tank at the periodicity of 5 years. Tank bottom sludge shall be handled and disposed as per existing practice.

382 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

10.7 Cumulative EMP

10.7.1 Construction Phase The overall impact of the pollution on the environment during construction phase is localised in nature, reversible and is for a short period. Air The suspended particulate pollution generated during transportation will be mitigated by covering the vehicles so as to ensure no spillage. Hosing down the wheels of the vehicles with water and providing washing troughs for them would further mitigate the amount of dust generated. In addition, emission of other pollutants from construction machinery using diesel driven prime movers, will be controlled by proper maintenance. Noise Noise emissions from construction equipment will be kept to a minimum by regular maintenance. Heavy and noisy construction work will be avoided during night time. Water The existing drinking and sanitation facilities at the refinery will be extended to the construction workforce. This is necessary to reduce pollution of any receiving water body and also to prevent hazards due to water borne vectors. Potable water shall be provided to the workers. Socio Economic Being the proposed project, small in terms of construction, there will be no permanent impact on the existing socio-economic system around the refinery.

10.7.2 Operation and Maintenance Phase It is envisaged that with strict adherence to the pollution prevention and control measures during the design stage, the environmental impacts could be moderated to the minimum possible level during the operation phase. Air  In-plant Control Measures Some of the important operational measures, which can reduce the impact on air environment, are as follows:  Ensuring the operations of various process units as per specified operating guidelines/operating manuals.  Strict adherence to maintenance schedule for various machinery/equipment.  Good housekeeping practices

383 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

 Stack and Ambient Air Monitoring In order to keep a check on the emissions of SO2, NOx, SPM and CO from reactor/regenerator, boiler and furnace stacks shall be monitored as per statutory regulations. Continuous monitors for emissions shall be installed on all major stacks. Ambient Air Monitoring Stations shall continuously monitor quality of the air in the vicinity of the refinery premises. Sophisticated instruments for measuring Sulfur Dioxide, NOx, Hydrocarbon, and Carbon Monoxide shall be used in these Monitoring Stations. Noise As the plant is going to be operational on a 24-hour basis, noise considerations are very important. All equipments will be specified to meet 85 dB (A) at 1 m distance. The exposure of employees working in the noisy area shall be monitored regularly to ensure compliance with the OSHA requirements. A green belt of appropriate width exists around the refinery. Treated effluent from the wastewater treatment plant will be used for irrigating this belt. This green belt will help to reduce the noise and visual impact upon the surrounding population as much as possible. Water  In-plant Control Measures Some of the measures, which can be taken up during operational phase of the complex are: o Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of improvement in operation of processing units. o Looking into more options of reusing the treated effluent besides fire water make up or for horticulture development. o Ensuring proper monitoring and maintenance schedule for the effluent treatment plant. o Providing reuse and recycle of the treated effluent and water.  Water Quality Monitoring The monitoring of raw influent, the intermediate stages of Effluent Treatment Plant, the treated effluent, the receiving water body and the ground water quality in the surrounding areas will be carried out regularly. For regular monitoring of the operation of various pollution control facilities, a laboratory with sophisticated instruments and well-trained manpower shall be established. A separate Pollution Control Cell with qualified Chemical Engineers/Scientists also form part of the facility, which will ensure that all pollution control

384 HECS/EIA/IOCL Panipat/Final/17.07.2021/1063

measures are effectively operating and to carry out day-to-day checks, trouble shooting and further improvements wherever necessary Land To improve the environmental quality following measures are recommended.  The solid waste generated in the form of packaging material etc. shall be sold off for making it suitable for reuse by reprocessing.  The solids wastes identified to be disposed off in the landfill shall be done as per scientifically established procedure for land filling.  In order to improve the aesthetics in the plant surrounding, further plantation shall be carried out the around the plant boundary. Socio-Economic Being the proposed project, small in terms investment, there will be no permanent impact on the existing socio-economic system around the refinery. However, IOCL shall take part actively in the overall development of the area.
