BRIEF SUMMARY OF KADAYAMPATTI CETP PROJECT Proposed Installation of 8MLD Kadayampatti Common Effluent Treatment Plant with ZLD along with 4MW Captive Power Plant, Kadayampatti, Bhavani Taluk, Erode District Tamilnadu. The proposed project falls under category ‘B1’ at 7(h) of the Schedule of 2006 EIA notification. Its coordinates are 11027’42.60” N and 770 40’37.67” E. The Proposed K-CETP will be in an area of 12.15 acres. Site is open land however few bushes and small trees exist, which needs the clearance. The nearest railway station to the project location is the Erode Junction, which is about 14 km away and the nearest bus stand is the Erode central bus terminus which is located at a distance of about 14 km. The closest airport is in Coimbatore, which is located at a distance of 96 km from the site. There are two State Highways near the proposed project location, which are: • Bhavani to Anthiyur road in the western side at about 100m from the site. • Bhavani to Sathyamangalam/Athani road (SH-82) in the southern side at about 500m from the proposed site. Cauvery river is located around 2.0 km to the east, Bhavani river is located at a distance of around 1.0 km to the south and Kadayampatti lake at a distance of around 0.5 km to the north of the proposed project location. The proposed 8.0 MLD CETP is based on a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) concept. The treatment methodologies proposed in this CETP comprises of Collection and Conveyance system, Pretreatment unit (PT), Reverse Osmosis system (RO) and Reject Management system. The recovered products like recovered water with very low salinity permeate from RO, condensate from evaporator system, treated brine concentrate from the evaporators and Glauber’s salt (Na2SO4.10H2O) from the adiabatic chiller are proposed to be supplied/returned back to its associated member units for reuse in their dyeing process. The project also involves proposed Co-gen power plant will be installed in the CETP area to supply electricity and steam. The Co-gen power plant consist of (i) High pressure boiler with alternative fuels such as coal, natural gas, furnace oil and biomass to produce steam with 40 kg/cm2 pressure at 400oC temperature (super-heated steam), (ii) Backpressure turbine and (iii) Alternator. The super-heated high pressure steam hits to the steam turbine to rotate the propeller and thereby rotating the alternator to produce AC power. The power supply generated from the Co-gen plant will be connected to the TANGEDCO transmission line and distributed to proposed ZLD CETP as well as member dyeing units in the cluster park. The estimated project cost is Rs 160 crores. .
