2.3.1 Demand –Supply Gap and Imports vs. Indigenous production

Indian Pesticides is one of the rapidly growing markets and has emerged a strong export
oriented business. Out of the present business of 180 Billion markets, the export accounts 100
billion and is steadily growing at a rate of 6.7%. This is 2.5 times more than the world market.
With the introduction of genetically modified crops in India, the consumption of Insecticides
decreased marginally. But the other sectors such as weedicides & herbicides, fungicides etc. are
rapidly growing. Punjab Chemical is focuses on the sectors of Fungicides and herbicides and
strong in export of these group molecules.

Company is always focusing on manufacturing all products locally with backward integration so
that Country will get benefits like Growth, employment, infrastructure etc. Punjab Chemical R &
D team is constantly engaged in identifying & evaluating new molecules. After a very careful
scrutiny of the developments of R & D, the company is ready to launch new intermediates as
well as several new pesticides. Company is importing only such products for which, either the
technology is not available in India or, the manufacturing cost is higher than the import cost.
With more than 50% of its raw materials being import products, coming mainly from China,
Europe & Asian sub-continent.
Proposed products manufacturing in the country will be very much economical compare to
Imports of the same and also the export of the same will earn extra revenue generation for our
county.

2.3.2 Export Possibility / Domestic / export Markets

The products of Punjab Chemicals are mainly for rice, wheat, cotton, vegetables, fruits, tea,
tobacco etc. which are the main crops in India and in many countries as well. That’s why these
products have worldwide market. The global marketing network of Punjab chemical is mainly,
America sales 37%, Europe & Africa 28 %, Indian subcontinent & Asia Pacific 35 %.
There is a huge demand of the proposed products in the export market. Our products are widely
used and are in demand in the domestic Chemical/pesticide industry.

2.3.4 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect)

There are possibilities to generate employment during the construction as well as operation
phase of the proposed project. Local skilled and semi-skilled workers will be hired during
construction phase, thus no need to provide housing facility to workers. 50– 80 nos. of people
will get direct employment during construction phase. Technical staff for plant operation, general
staff for administrative work and other ancillary services i.e. Security, O&M contractor and
maintenance services will have required during operation phase. Around 300 nos. technical
people will get direct and other contractor worker will get indirect employment during operation
phase.

PROPOSED EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT

Untreated effluent from various manufacturing sections will be collected in underground

RCC storage tanks lined with LDPE sheets through close drains. Oil and grease will be
removed through floating skimmer that will install in untreated collection pit and untreated
collection tanks. The untreated effluent from the collection tanks will then transferred to Pre
clarifier for further removal of oil, grease and organic waste sludge. From the pre clarifier
untreated effluent will transfer to neutralization tank for pH control. After pH control the
effluent is transferred to equalization tank through measurement pits where oil, grease and
organic waste is further removed if any. The pre-treated effluent from equalization tank will
transferred to Aeration tank for reduction of COD. Then the pre-treated water from Aeration
tanks supplied to Multi Effect Evaporator (MEE). Pure water vapours are condensed & re-
cycled to cooling tower whereas concentrated material from MEE is sent to Agitated Thin
Film Dryer for further evaporation of water & drying. The dried residue (category 37.3) will
be collected, packed in HDPE Lined bags & stored in covered RCC pits. It will send to
TSDF site for further disposal.
The oil, grease, organic sludge, and organic residue from distillation units from
manufacturing area will be incinerated in incinerator at temperature between 750 to 1250
deg Celsius of capacity 600 kg/hr. The steam generated will be used in MEE for
evaporation of water. The ash generated during incineration and sludge recovered from
scrubbing unit of incinerator will packed separately as per approved packing given by
Regulatory Authority and will also store in covered RCC storage pits. It will also send to
TSDF site for further disposal

PROCESS OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT(STP)-20 KLD

Sewage from Canteen, Amenity blocks, Administrative block, Gate complex and Time office
is collected in the septic tank through closed drains. The collected sewage from sump is
then constantly pumped into the MBBR (Moving bed biofilm reactor).MBBR is a modular
construction comprising of bar screen, collection tank, Aeration section, Sedimentation
Section,& Treated sewage holding/Transfer chamber. The treatment occurs in various
aerobic chambers. In aerobic chambers, thousands of MBBR media is fed, upon which the
bio mass grow. Water is then fed to flocculation chamber which is dosed with alum &
polyectrolyte on continuous basis at a proportional flow rate for solids removal by
sedimentation in the clarifier. The settled sludge is partially re-circulated back to aeration
tank to give a constant feed to the bacteria & balance is dried in drying beds. Clarified water
of low TDS will pass through sand & activated carbon filters. Clear water after filtration is
given to the plantation.

5.0 PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 Planning Concept
M/s Punjab Chemicals and Crop Protection Ltd. (Pesticide Division) is planning to propose
manufacturing of Pesticides at Village: Kolimajra & Samalheri, P.O. Lalru, Tal: Dera Bassi,
Dist.: SAS Nagar Punjab - 140501.The proposed project will be started after getting
Environmental Clearance from MOEFCC, New Delhi. Consent to Operate from SPCB and
other statutory clearances required for proposed project activities will take care of all the
rules and regulation of statutory authority and will provide the control measure and devices
to achieve the standard norms.

5.2 Land use Planning

Punjab chemical has already acquired land of 95448 sq.m. Among the total acquired land
95448 sq.m, total existing builtup is 10436 sq.m, total existing green area is 33400 sq.m,
area covered for road is 6000 sq.m .Total 3481 sq.m of land from existing un-built area i.e
45606 sq.m will be utilised for pesticide unit. Proposed pesticide manufacturing unit will be
developed in 3481 m2 area vacant land adjacent to agrochemical plant.

For Green Belt Development as per the layout plan, the company has already developed
33400 m2 area of green belt. The company shall also develop additional green belt along
the periphery of the proposed site and in common premises available outside the company
premises.

While selecting the plants species to be grown in the green belt zone, following points will
be taken into account:
1. Climatic condition and soil characteristics of the region.
2. The air pollution emitted by the industry – gaseous and particulate matter.
Plant interaction with both gaseous and particulate pollutants and to a great
extent absorbs them and thus, removes them from the atmosphere.
3. Characteristics of plants including shapes of crowns considered necessary
for effective absorption of pollutant gases and removal of dust particles.
4. Height of the plants should not be too high to be lethal.
5. For absorbance of gases, the duration of the foliage should be longer.
Vegetation controls soil erosion rates significantly. The decrease of water erosion rates with
increasing vegetation cover is exponential. This review reveals that the decrease in water
erosion rates with increasing root mass is also exponential. Plant species having good root
system are selected, so that soil erosion can be checked.
