Annexure 3 Manufacturing Process 1 Co-Gen Power Generation Process The flow diagram and manufacturing process of co-gen power plant are given below. i. Steam generation The industry shall be provided with high pressure boilers to run the condensing cum back pressure type of turbines. The exhaust back pressure steam from turbine is used for both ethanol and sugar plants. The boiler is fired with bagasse alone or bagasse admixed with agro biomass waste as fuel. Bagasse is available from sugar plant as captive source. Bio mass available from agricultural source such as cane trash will also be as fuel. The flue gas from the boiler is passed through ESP to free it from suspended particles and then vented through a chimney of adequate height. The boiler ash is quenched and is sent to bin through belt conveyor. Bagasse from mills or storage yard is sent to boiler through mechanical conveyor. ii. Electricity generation The high pressure steam from the boiler is passed through the double extraction cum condensing type of turbines. The turbine is run by the high pressure steam which in turn rotates alternator. The electric power produced is used to meet the captive power requirement of the sugar industry and co-gen plant. Surplus power from the industry is exported to MSEB through distribution grid. Energy efficiency and the export of power to the grid are made possible by the employment of high pressure and high temperature steam cycles. The proposed new installation of Co-gen boiler and TG aims at significantly producing the energy requirement of the Sugar Factory, and enabling the plant to generate surplus power from its cane crushing operations. iii. Electrostatic Precipitator The boiler will be equipped with high efficiency three field Electro Static Precipitator, which will remove the suspended particles and ash particles from the flue gas. The efficiency of the precipitator will be 99.2% and the dust concentration at the outlet of the ESP will be less than 100.0 mg/Nm³. iv. Chimney A chimney of 60 m height will be constructed to exhaust the flue gas to the atmosphere and this height has been considered taking Baggasse as fuel into account.

Flow Diagram of Co-Gen Unit

2 Sugar Unit The flow diagram and manufacturing process of sugar unit is given below. Most of the sugar factories in India follow double sulphitation process and produce plantation white sugar. The major unit operations are shown in figure these are 1. Extraction of juice 2. Clarification 3. Evaporation 4. Crystallization 5. Centrifugation

1. Extraction of Juice The sugarcane is passed through devices like knives for cutting the stalks in to chips before being subjected to crushing in a milling tandem comprising 4 to 6 three roller mills. Fine preparation with its impact on final extraction, is receiving special attention & shredders & particularly the fibrizsers are gaining popularity. The mills are of modern design, being equipped with turbine drive, special feeding devices, efficient compound imbibition system etc. In the best milling practice, more than 95% of the sugar in the cane goes into the juice, this percentage being called the sucrose extraction or more simply the extraction. A fibrous residue called bagasse; with a low sucrose content is produced about 25 to 30 % of cane. 2. Clarification The dark-green juice from the mills is acidic (pH 4.5) & turbid, called raw juice or mixed juice. The mixed juice after being heated to 65 to 75 0C is treated with phosphoric acid, sulphur dioxide & milk of lime for removal of impurities in suspension in a continuously working apparatus. The treated juice on boiling fed to continuous clarifier from which the clear juice is decanted while the settled impurities known as mud is sent to the field as fertilizer. The clear juice goes to the evaporators without further treatment. Form-I for KSSKL, Kundal, Tal Palus, Dist. Sangli 18 3. Evaporation The clarified juice contains about 85 % water. About 75% of this water is evaporated in vaccum multiple effects consisting of a succeeding (generally four) of vacuum boiling cells arranged in series so that each succeeding body has higher vacuum. The vapours from the final body go to condenser. The syrup leaves the last body continuously with about 60% solids & 40% water 4. Crystallization The syrup is again treated with sulphur dioxide before being sent to the pan station for crystallization of sugar. Crystallization takes place in single-effect vacuum pans, where the syrup is evaporated until saturated with sugar. AT this point ‘seed grain’ is added to serve as a nucleus for the sugar crystals & more syrup is added as water evaporates. The growth of the crystals continue until the pan is full. Given a skilled sugar boiler(or adequate instrumentation) the original crystals can be grown without the formation of additional crystals, so that when the pan is just full, the crystals are all of desired size & the crystal & syrup form a dense mass koown as ‘massecuite’. The ‘strike’ is then discharged through a foot valve into a crystallizer. 5. Centrifugation The massecuite from crystallizer is drawn in to revolving machines called centrifuges. The perforated lining retains the sugar crystals, which may be washed with water if desired. The mother liquor ‘molasses’ passes through the lining because of the centrifugal force exerted & after the sugar is ‘Purged’ it is cut down leaving the centrifuge ready for another charge of massecuite . Continuous centrifuges may purge low grades. The mother liquor separated from commercial sugar is again sent to pan for boiling and recrystallization. Three stages of recrystallization are adopted to ensure maximum recovery of sugar in crystal form. The final molasses is sent out the factory as waste being unsuitable for recovery of sugar under commercial condition from economical point of view.

Form-I for KSSKL, Kundal, Tal Palus, Dist. Sangli 20 Annexure 4 Effluent Treatment Plant

Stream (A): Sober effluent (146 m3/day) The Sober wastewater stream comes from boiler blow down, pump cooling and cooling purging water. Except temperature, it has little other objectionable characteristic. This is can be treated by physico- chemical treatment, lowering the temperature to ambient, giving detention for some time and settling. This will be then used as diluent to the moderately polluted effluent and both together will be treated by bio-oxidation and tertiary. Stream (B): Moderately Polluted Effluent (480 m3/day) The Moderately polluted wastewater is the sugar process effluent, regeneration water, floor washing stream, which needs treatment. This will be treated by bio-oxidation with treatment units like preliminary screening, oil-grease trap, aeration, secondary clarifier, sludge drying beds. This effluent will be then subjected to tertiary treatment with pressure filters (sand & activated carbons).Total treated effluent now becomes 536 m3 from this ETP and will be further used in plant and for plantation. After the pH correction of this stream, it will be joined to treated sugar factory effluent, which can be disposed on land for irrigation.

Figure 4.2 Flow Chart for waste water treatment Mitigation: As additional mitigation measures, TI proposes to take-up following: · To spread awareness to the workers about the importance of water quantity measurements and resource conservation. · Shop-floor supervisors are encouraged for mopping up, dry collection and good house-keeping by arranging lectures, and by conscious supervision.

Form-I for KSSKL, Kundal, Tal Palus, Dist. Sangli 21 · The treated domestic and industrial sober waste water will be applied judiciously on land for gardening so that there will not be any flooding of excess water either to migrate to ground water table or get away as runoff to join surface water drains. · Documentation shall be maintained and submitted in annual Environmental Statement.

Summary: From the foregoing it may be seen that the industry is without any such effluent which is hazardous, poisonous or non-biodegradable. It is not likely to create pollution from the point-of-view of water phase of environment, once used on land. Action Plan The action plan is prepared to ensure that there is no discharge of effluent anywhere during anytime. · There will be no storage of effluent in the lagoon in the rainy season. · Pre-monsoon inspection shall be carried out to ensure that garland drains are dry and pumps are working in the eventuality of rain run on or rain runoff. · Two down gradient and one up gradient well will be monitored regularly during rainy season. · The ETP sludge also will be taken care of during pre-monsoon inspection.

Water regime is discussed from source, quantity and permission of withdrawal, up to water balance chart. This further includes effluents generation (section-wise), characterization, treatment train, recycle and ZLD. Sugar effluent generation will be within 100L/T cane crushed. Capacity for guard pond is kept much below than normally permitted & will be constructed water-tight as per CPCB norms

Form-I for KSSKL, Kundal, Tal Palus, Dist. Sangli 22 Annexure 5 Water Budget Introduction It will be a logical analysis of any situation if a study is undertaken in following way: · Incoming water quality. · Water budgeting to estimate effluent quantity and quality. · STP/ETP and its performance evaluation. · Expected impact.

i) Key Central Legislation: A comprehensive statute viz. Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act stands promulgated in 1974 (amended twice in 1978 and 1988). The Statement of Object and Reasons annexed to the Bill, interalia states:

“Having considered the relevant local provisions existing in the country and recommendations of the aforesaid Committee, the Government came to the conclusion that the existing local provisions are neither adequate nor satisfactory. There is, therefore, an urgent need of introducing a comprehensive legislation which will establish unitary agencies in the Center and States to provide for the prevention, abatement and control of pollution of rivers and streams, for maintaining and restoring wholesomeness of such water courses and for controlling the existing and new discharges of domestic and industrial wastes”.

The scope of the Act is quite wide. The object of this Water Act, 1974 is (1) to prevent and control of pollution of water as defined therein and (2) to maintain or restore wholesomeness of water.

The objective also appears to provide penalties after conviction that it will be deterrent to others who might indulge or tend to indulge in polluting the waters. The definition of water pollution, therefore, is kept quite wide and encompasses welfare of not only human beings but also the plants, animals and aquatic organisms. The definition is too comprehensive to allow anyone to escape the hands of this Act on pure technicalities.
