PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT


As mentioned in the previous chapter, the Proposed Integrated Cement Project - falls under
Category ‘A’ projects as per the EIA Notification, 2006 & as amended from time to time; Project or
Activity ‘3(b)’ Cement Plants - in which the plant of proposed capacity of Clinker, Cement, Captive
Power Plant, WHRS and DG Set will be installed by M/s. UltraTech Cement Limited.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT


Cement manufacturing Industries is one of the important sector of the Indian Economy. The
sector has experienced phenomenal growth especially after the decontrol regime from 1999 and
greater thrust by Government on Infrastructure development and spurt in housing construction
sector.
India has a lot of potential for development in the infrastructure and construction sector and the
cement sector is expected to largely benefit from it. Some of the recent major government
initiatives such as development of 98 smart cities are expected to provide a major boost to the
sector.
India's cement demand is expected to reach 550- 600 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) by 2025.
The housing sector is the biggest demand driver of cement, accounting for about 67% of the total
consumption in India. The other major consumers of cement include infrastructure at 13%,
commercial construction at 11% and industrial construction at 9%.
In order to meet the increasing demand, most cement plants are making efforts to achieve higher
production levels, at times by stretching the existing production facilities and by adding additional
capacities.
Looking into the increasing demand of Cement, M/s. UltraTech Cement Limited is proposing
Integrated Cement Project at Villages: Basawa & Turkani Johdi (Khirod), Tehsil: Nawalgarh,
District: Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan).

2.3 LOCATION
The project site is located in Basawa & Turkani Johdi (Khirod) Villages of Nawalgarh Tehsil of

2.7 TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION
2.7.1 Cement Plant
Technology Description
The Cement Plant will be based on Dry Process Technology for Cement manufacturing with Pre-
Heating and Pre- Calciner Technology. In the dry process, the raw materials will be dried in a
combined drying-cum-grinding installation to reduce the moisture content to below 1%. The drying
in the grinding unit will be achieved by using kiln exhaust gases for normal moisture and will be
supplemented by auxiliary hot air furnace for rainy season etc. for high moisture. The ground raw
mix will then be homogenized in silos and fed into the rotary kiln. Heat required for evaporation of
added moisture will be eliminated in this process. The latest technological innovation is to replace
the conventional suspension pre-heater by well-designed suspension pre-heater having high
efficiency, low pressure drop cyclone and pre-calcinator.
Suspension pre-heater will achieve better heat economy and therefore, fuel consumption in this
process will be low. This process will be environmental friendly and will reduce consumption of
natural resources.
The type of cement which will be manufactured is Portland Pozzolona Cement (PPC) and Ordinary
Portland Cement (OPC).

Process Description of clinker unit and cement unit:


The process involves in cement production largely comprises of the following steps:
 Transport of excavated limestone from Captive mine site
 Crushing of raw material
 Stacker & Reclaimer
 Raw Mix Preparation & Homogenization
 Raw Material & Fuel Preparation
 Pyro process (Preheating and Calcination) & Clinkerization
 Clinker Cooling
 Clinker Storage & Transport
 Cement Grinding, Storage, Packing & Dispatch
Various operations of dry process plant are detailed as follows:

 Transport of excavated limestone from Captive Mines Site


Limestone of required size will be transported to Cement Plant from Captive Limestone Mines
through Covered Conveyor Belts.
 Raw Mix Preparation & Homogenization
 Raw Material Reclaiming and Transport- The crushed limestone will be transported to
limestone yard through a series of belt conveyors and stored in a pile through automatic
stacker machine. Once the pile of required quantity and quality is achieved then reclaimer will
be used to reclaim the stockpile material. By using stacker and reclaimer machines, pre-
blending will take place to minimize fluctuation in crushed limestone quality. The pile of LS will

be continuously reclaimed, when raw mill is in operation and stored in hopper at raw mill
section. Magnetic separators will be installed over the belt conveyers to remove any foreign
materials.
 Raw Mill Feed - The Limestone along with additives will be transported from their respective
feed bins via weigh feeders and belt conveyor to the raw mill system.
 Raw Meal Grinding Process - Raw Mill will be used to grind the raw mix which will be capable to
meet the production needs. The raw grinding section comprises of Mills, fans, separators &
cyclones as well as all ductwork and control dampers. The ground product from raw mill is
known as ‘Raw Meal’.
 Raw Meal Transport and Storage - From the separator cyclones the raw meal will be
transported via air slides and a bucket elevator to the homogenizing silo.
Homogenizing silo will be prerequisite for raw meal blending to achieve consistent quality of
Kiln feed. This will also ensure regulated feed with minimum variation in quality for smooth
operation of Kiln. A continuous blending silo of RCC construction of required capacity will be
used for the same. The silo capacity will be suitable for the required daily clinker production.
 Preheating, Calcination & Clinkerization
 Raw Meal Transport to Kiln Feed - From the homogenizing silo the raw meal will be extracted
to the Kiln feed bin below the silo.
 Kiln Feed - From the Kiln feed bin the material will be transported through mechanical
conveyors with measurement and control of kiln feed rate.
 Pre-heating - The pre-heating equipment will be comprised of the multi stage cyclone system
connected with gas ducts and meal chutes, the down comer duct and the ID fan. In cyclone
pre-heater system, an efficient heat transfer will take place to finally disperse the raw material
particles, when they come in contact with hot gases from kiln.
The raw meal, which will be fed into the top stage gas duct, will be carried by hot gas steam
into cyclone. The material will get separated from gas in cyclones and then will travel
downwards and through meal chute will be discharged into next lower stage gas duct. In this
way, material will come into contact with high temperature gases and will get pre-heated and
partially calcined and then will enter the pre-calcinator.
The calciner will provide sufficient residence time for efficient combustion of not only
conventional coal but also for Petcoke and other alternate fuels which are difficult to handle.
The calciner will be equipped with multi firing points for the above said requirements.
The preheater will be equipped with induced draught fan for ensuring counter current heat
transfer from the kiln through the calciner & the series of cyclones.
The exit hot gas from the preheater will be utilized for Waste Heat Power recovery system and
drying of raw material in Raw Mill & drying of coal / Petcoke in Coal Mill and for Clinker / slag
grinding with/without fly ash/gypsum for Cement production.
 Pre-calcining and Kiln - These groups consist of an in-line low NO2 pre-calciner, tertiary air duct
from the kiln hood and a rotary kiln.

In the pre-calcinator, further Calcination will take place by firing pulverized coal/pet coke to
provide the necessary heat in the kiln and the Pre-calciner located at the bottom of the pre-
heater. Calcined material from bottom stage cyclone will be fed to the kiln. The feed will travel
down as the kiln rotates. The complete chemical reaction will take place when the material will
reach the burning zone and cement clinker will be formed.
 Clinker Cooler
This equipment will recuperate heat from hot clinker, which will reduce the consumption of fossil
fuel and other fuels required for cement clinker making. It will be a spillage-free and high
efficiency third generation clinker cooler with roller crusher, ESP (electrostatic precipitator)
including fan and stack, WHRS (Waste Heat Recovery System) for cooling clinker to 65 degree
Centigrade plus ambient.
Hot clinker will be discharged from the Kiln drops on the grate cooler and will get cooled.
 Clinker Transport and Storage

conveyor to the closed clinker silo of designed capacity.
Clinker loading for dispatch to Grinding Unit: Wagon loading hoppers located on the broad-gauge
line through a set of deep pan conveyors will be followed by set of HR belt conveyors. The basic
BG rail open wagon loading system consists of 2 nos. RCC hoppers with 3 nos. loading spouts
underneath each hopper. Each hopper caters to 1 wagon at a time and 2 wagons can be loaded
simultaneously.
 Cement Grinding, Storage, Packing & Dispatch
 Cement Grinding & Storage - Clinker and gypsum with fly ash and mineral components
according to requirement will be extracted from their respective hoppers and fed to the
Cement Mill. Cement Mill will be grind the feed to a fine powder and the cement, so provided
will be transported to RCC Cement Silos for dispatch.
 Cement Packing & Dispatch - Cement extracted from cement silos is packed in bags by rotary

At the exit of the turbine, the low-pressure steam shall be condensed in air cool condenser and
condensed water will be fed to de-aerator through condensate circuit.

f) Fly ash disposal:

After combustion of coal inside the boiler furnace, it liberates heat that is used for steam
generation. At the same time, it generates ash that is a by-product of combustion process. This
ash travels along with flue gases through various parts of the system like Economizer, Air Pre-
heater and pollution control equipment and finally through ducts. There is also some collection at
the bottom of the furnace. In the end, flue gases are fed into the chimney/stack through ID fan
and vented out in the atmosphere. Ash shall be collected at different points and moved by using
suitable material handling systems and collected into the silos (dry fly ash). Fly ash generated from
the system shall be utilized fully for making Cement.

All the equipment including valves, pumps, standby pumps & valves etc shall be operated,
monitored and controlled from central control room. In this way, generated power and fly ash
shall be sent to the grinding unit for their respective usages.

At Villages: Basawa & Turkani Johdi (Khirod), Tehsil: Nawalgarh, District: Jhunjhunu (Rajasthan)
Chapter - 2 of Draft EIA / EMP Report

 Low-pressure economizer

Each heating surface has a vibration dust removal device and dust evenly discharges out of boiler
bottom along with the air.

Mechanical Rapping System

Due to high ash content in the flue gas, the boiler is equipped with a mechanical rapping system.
Every tube bank is equipped with 4 units mechanical rapping system. Each group has one motor
to drive all 4 units, which are connected together with connecting rods. The rapping frequency is 3
times per minute. The impact force is approx. 1500 N. For better regulation, the user can also reset
the transducer drive controls of the motor, thereby regulating the frequency of rapping.

The mechanical rapping system is a key component of this boiler. Each group of rapping device
can be individually controlled. Shut-down for maintenance of one group of rapping device does
not affect other groups. The rapping devices are equipped with removable doorframes, to
facilitate easy repair and maintenance.

 For AQC Boiler

The flue gas, at 395°C, from the mid tap of the AQC will enter the boiler and after boiler the
temperature of the flue gas will be 100°C, which will be used / rejected in Atmosphere thru existing
ESP Fan. In this load on cooler ESP will be on lower side. The balance in Final will be maintained by
control dampers in AQC WHRB and ESP inlet duct. When the boiler will be in shut down the flue
gas will enter the ESP and after ESP the same circuit will be followed.

General Description of AQC Boiler

Chapter - 2 of Draft EIA / EMP Report

 Common economizer
 Low-pressure segment economizer tube box.

All the tube boxes transfer their own weight to the beam steel structure through their base. The
tube box type of construction reduces the air leakage to a minimum, reduces the heat loss of air
leakage, improves boiler efficiency, and reduces the workload at site. The AQC boiler heating
surface adopts special shaped heat exchanger components in the form of spiral fin tubes, which,
due to the nature and characteristics of AQC waste gas, results in better anti-wear and anti-
deposition.

Casing, Flue Gas Duct and Boiler Wall

The outer casing of the Boiler tube boxes and flue gas ducts are built outside of insulation layer to
protect the insulation. All the outer surfaces of the Boiler are installed with colored plates. The
color is chosen by customer, ensuring the boiler is aesthetic, to the Customers’ taste and
harmonic with the surrounding environment.

Condensate Circuit
In this system condensate from Condensate Extraction Pump (CEP) will be transferred into the
water pre-heater in AQC WHRB then WHRB separate De-aerator. After De-aerator the condensate
will enter the Boilers through Boiler Feed Pump.
Steam Circuit
The combined generated steam will be used to generate electricity from the steam turbine with
Air cooled condenser.
Auxiliary Cooling Water and DM Water

Requirement of Auxiliary cooling water and DM water will be fulfilled.

reduction in the utility consumption & costs, and process cost.

2. Indirect Benefits:

 Reduce CO2 Emission


 Reduction in equipment sizes: Waste heat recovery reduces the fuel consumption, which
leads to reduction in the flue gas handling equipments such as fans, stacks, ducts, burners,
etc.
 Reduction in auxiliary energy consumption: Reduction in equipment sizes gives additional
benefits in the form of reduction in auxiliary energy consumption like electricity for fans,
pumps etc.

2.8.2 Sewage Treatment Plant (Kindly Verify)

The Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of 450 KLD (350 KLD + 100 KLD) capacity will be installed for
treatment of Domestic waste water generated from Plant and Colony. The treatment given to the
influent in the STP will be both chemical and biological. The treated water will be used for
greenbelt development/ plantation.

Process description of STP


Bar screen chamber followed by collection cum equalization tank followed by Fluidized Aerobic
Bed Reactors (2 Nos.) with the high surface area of PP media will be provided with coarse air
bubble diffusion system followed by Tube Settler Tank in the STP. The clear supernatant after
disinfecting by chlorination will be passed through dual filter and activated Carbon filter, where
Hypochlorite dosing is done for disinfection before collection in the treated water tank. The
sludge generated from the FAB will be passed through sludge digester and dried and the filtrate
will be collected and sent back to the equalization tank and the dried cakes will be used as
manure. The treated water will be used for plantation activities and greenbelt development.
The process which will be followed in treating the sewage generated and fed into this plant is
‘Attached growth process’ under ‘Aerobic process’. The system supplied is a Fluidized Aerobic Bio
reactor (FAB).
This works on the principle of Attached Growth Process. Plastic media will be used in the FAB
reactors to attain the attached growth of the bacteria. The Media will be in suspension in the FAB
reactor. The specific gravity of the media is less than water. The Media fluidization is by virtue of
hydraulic currents set by Aeration. The Media has high specific Surface Area, typically 400 - 500
m2 / m3.
The schematic diagram for sewage treatment plant has been shown in Figure - 2.11.

maintains the media with attached bacterial culture in suspension. It is here that bacterial culture
utilizes this O2 to biodegrade the organic matter in the effluent and also for their endogenous
respiration, resulting in the production of simpler end. The Treatment Process is mainly based on
the principle of “Fluidised Attached Growth Process” and consists mainly of the following
components:
TUBE- SETTLER – I & II
Settling Tank with the Tube Modules is a unit in which solid liquid separation occurs under the
gravity.
FILTERS (DMF AND ACF)
DMF - Dual Media Filter
As the name indicates, DMF, is a Dual Media Filter, and has two filtering media Anthracite and
sand. 300 mm layer of Anthracite is provided on top of sand layer. The sand is supported on a bed
of graded pebbles. The conventional Pressure Sand Filter has limited Dirt holding capacity. Fine
sand is filled in the top most layer, suspended solids are deposited on the top surface and hence
pressure sand filter performs as surface filter. But Dual Media Filter has two layers of filtration and
hence called depth filtration.
 The coarse Anthracite layer does pre filtration and removes most of the suspended solids from
the water before the water comes in contact with the fine sand.
 The coarse Anthracite is provided for holding higher amount of dirt within the bed. The dirt
removing capacity of the Dual Media Filter is higher than the conventional pressure sand filter.
ACF - Activated Carbon Filter
Activated Carbon is one of the most widely used media for adsorption of impurities. Activated
carbon filter is employed for mostly removal of
 Chlorine
 Organics
 Odor
The residual chlorine in the water, where chlorination is used for Organics removal, is adsorbed by
Activated Carbon Filter. The ACF removes almost all of the residual chlorine in the water. The ACF
also helps in removal of Organic matter from the water. The Activated carbon media has finite
capacity of adsorption and shall exhaust on prolonged usage depending upon the inlet purity
load.

2.8.3 Reverse Osmosis (RO) Process Description

The reverse osmosis process consists of three main steps: (1) Pre-treatment, (2)
Membrane Assembly System and (3) post-treatment.

Pre-treatment
The purpose of the pre-treatment step is to avoid any risk of clogging, fouling or scaling of the
membrane. Pre-treatment is an important aspect of RO system. All RO devices require pre-
treatment to remove the suspended solids, scalants, foulants and colloidal matter. In the pre-
treatment system, some chemicals are usually used before the filtration step. Chlorine is often
injected to disinfect feed water. Sodium Meta bisulphate is used to dechlorinate the feed water.
Ferric chloride, alum or polymers are the typical coagulants used at the prefilter stage. In the
filtration stage, a gravity filter with different sand particle sizes is used. Then a fine cartridge filter
is used after the sand filtration. For ground water treatment, Hydrochloric acid and sodium
hexameta phosphate (SHMP) is often used to prevent carbonate scale. The exact dosage of each
chemical depends on the chemical analysis of the feed water.

Membrane Assembly System

Several types of RO membranes are commercially available. These are prepared either as flat
sheet or as hollow fibers made from cellulose acetate (CA) ester or polyamide (PA). There are
different ways of packing RO membranes. Of these, three configurations have been produced
commercially: tubular, spiral wound (SW) and hollow fine fiber (HFF). Hollow fine fiber and spiral
wound modules have proved to be appropriate for several types of raw water in RO desalination
systems. Spiral wound has found many applications in the wastewater reclamation. The success of
the spiral-bound device has been related to the capability to package a relatively large amount of
membrane surface area into a relatively small element while maintaining a certain degree of
"cleavability", which, of course, is particularly important for wastewater processes.

Post-treatment

In the post-treatment step, product water passes through a decarbonation system, a pH


adjustment system and water passing through UV light. Generally, Sodium Carbonate (Food
Grade) is added to the product water to adjust its alkalinity. The purpose of passing the water
through UV is to eliminate the presence of microorganisms during storage and distribution.

Use of High Calorific Hazardous Waste in Cement Plant
The co-processing of waste in cement industry is much beneficial option, whereby wastes are not
only incinerated at a higher temperature of around 1400°C and longer residence time but its
inorganic content gets fixed within the clinker apart from using the energy content of the wastes.
Apart from this, no residues are left, which in case of incineration still requires being land filled as
incinerator ash. Further the acidic gases, if any generated during co-processing gets neutralized,
since the raw material is alkaline in nature. Such phenomenon also reduces resource requirement
such as coal and limestone.

Taking the cognizance of above advantages of co-processing the waste, UltraTech Cement Ltd.
have explored few hazardous waste in the area generated by other units and will be utilized as
AFR. Details of the Hazardous waste available in the area are given in Table 2.12
