EIA Report
1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction to Project & Project Proponent
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is India's largest commercial enterprise engaging in
the business of refining, pipeline transportation, marketing of petroleum products and also
involving in exploration production of crude oil gas, marketing of natural gas and
petrochemicals. IOCL accounts for nearly half of India’s petroleum products market share
owning 11 refineries. It is the 11th refinery of IOCL. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi dedicated the refinery cum Petrochemical Complex to Nation on 7th Feb 2016.
The refinery was commissioned in the year 2015with a capacity of 15 MMTPA has been set
up at an estimated cost of Rs. 34,555 crores. The major processing units provided were
Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Unit (FCCU) 4.2 MMTPA, Crude/ Vacuum Distillation unit
(CDU/ VDU) 15 MMTPA, Delayed Coking unit 4.1 MMTPA, Diesel Hydro Treating Unit of
5.2 MMTPA, VGO hydro treatment Unit 5.4 MMTPA, Sulfur Recovery Unit 2 x 525 TPD +
1 TGTU.
Paradip Refinery has a unique INDMAX Unit technology, which is indigenously been
developed by Indian Oil's R&D Centre. The INDMAX (FCC) Unit has designed to produce
44% LPG, the highest yield from such plants. The commissioning of INDMAX Unit at
Paradip marks a major milestone in the history of Indian refining. With this, Indian Oil has
been recognized globally as a technology licensor. The other first-time technological features
of the Refinery include Flue Gas Desulphurisation facilities, Vapour Recovery system from
jetty loading and an alkylation process to get octane-rich low-benzene MS blend component,
etc.
The refinery can process 100% high Sulphur and heavy crude oil to produce various
petroleum products like Petrol and diesel BS-IV quality, kerosene, Aviation Turbine fuel,
Propylene, Sulphur and Petroleum Coke. The refinery has also designed to produce Euro-IV
premium quality Motor Spirit and other green auto fuel variants for export to advanced
countries. The products from the Refinery meet the energy demands of the domestic market
and partly the South-East Asia export market. The finished petroleum products from Paradip
Refinery being shipped to as far as Asia Pacific, Europe, USA, and to the demand centers in
the east of India, northeast and to some southern states like Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.

EIA Report
Paradip Refinery has spread over a total area of 3,345 acres, including about 314 acres for
Residential and about 240 acres of land for other office and buildings. The area of 355 acres
is utilized for the connecting road in the total area. Land documents enclosed as Annexure 1.
The refinery is equipped with crude oil tanks to store High-Sulphur heavy crude, with
petroleum product & intermediate tanks (including for liquid Sulphur storage tanks). Apart
from these liquid storage facilities, there are LPG storage mounded bullets, propylene storage
mounded bullets, Hydrogen and alkylation feed mounded bullets. An elaborate infrastructure
is in place for pumping crude oil to the Paradip Refinery and for smooth, safe and efficient
movement of the finished products. This includes a crude oil unloading facility at Paradip
offshore with the first Single Point Mooring (SPM) facility on the east coast of India; a
complex cross-country product pipeline network; a marketing terminal with truck loading
bays and tank-wagon gantry; and an LPG terminal with facilities for road dispatch. But the
biggest crude receipt and product dispatch infrastructure of Paradip Refinery is the captive
South Oil Jetty, the first-of-its-kind in India made for a greenfield coastal refinery. The
products are dispatched through pipelines (20-25%), rail (20-25%), road (15-20%) & coastal
(40-50%) movements.
With an aim to add more value, a 0.680 MMTPA capacity Polypropylene (PP) Plant, based
on Propylene recovered from Cracked LPG generated from INDMAX Plant, is under
implementation and is scheduled for completion by 2019. The refinery also has plans to setup
an Ethylene Recovery Unit /Mono-Ethylene Glycol (MEG) These units are expected to be
completed by 2020-21.

1.2 Purpose of the EIA report

The Government of India, Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change
(MoEF&CC), New Delhi, vide notification no. S. O. 1533 dated 14th September, 2006, and
its amendments, has made it mandatory to obtain ‘Prior Environmental Clearance (EC) ’ for
New projects listed in the schedule, Expansion and Modernization of existing projects listed
in the schedule, any change in product mix in the existing manufacturing unit falling within
the schedule to that notification from MoEF&CC (for Category A projects) or from SEIAA
(for Category B projects).
The EIA submission at MoEF&CC pertains to Proposed “Integrated Para-Xylene &

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PX-PTA) Project within the existing Refinery Complex,
Odisha. The Project falls under Schedule 5 (c) - “Petro-chemical complexes (industries based
on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to aromatics” Category
A, since all the projects under this schedule falls under “A” category as per EIA Notification
2006 and its subsequent amendments.
1.3 Brief description of the Project

Nature:M/s. IOCL, Paradip Refinery and Petrochemical Complex as a part of the compliance
to the regulatory requirement i.e., to obtain Environmental Clearance from MoEF& CC has
appointed M/s. Hubert Enviro Care Systems Private Limited, as EIA Consultant who is
accredited by National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET)- Quality
Council of India (QCI), New Delhi for Schedule 5(c) - “Petro-chemical complexes (industries
based on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to aromatics”
Category A.
Size:
The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) has commissioned in Fuel- Refinery
mode. The original configuration of PDRP included production of Petrochemical products,
viz. Polypropylene (PP), Paraxylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer (SM) based on Refinery
streams, in addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging demand growth of Purified
Terephthalic Acid (PTA), IOCL planned to install Integrated Paraxylene (PX) Units of 0.8

EIA Report
MMTPA and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA capacity at Paradip and associated utilities and
offsite facilities at Paradip Refinery.
Location:
The existing complex is located at Abhaychandrapur village, Jagatsinghpur District, Odisha

State. The site is located 3.6 Km from Paradip city towards NNE.
Importance to the Country & Region:
Eastern India does not have any economic size of PSF, PFY or PET resin plants. The first
PTA plant at IOCL Paradip can provide steady supply of feedstock PTA to PSF, PYF and
PET resin plants. The polyester resins/chips will further have processed to produce audio/
video tapes, x-ray films, photographic films, tapes, aseptic bottles for packing mineral water,
carbonated drinks, vegetable oil, cosmetics, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. Thus using PTA from
Paradip refinery plant at Odisha, a number of secondary and tertiary downstream industries
could be set-up by entrepreneurs who could bring large investment to the state of Odisha and
to Eastern India as a whole. This in turn would also help in generating larger employment
potential in the region.
1.4 EIA cost
EIA & CRZ study was undertaken by HECS for an amount of Rs.53,00,000 Lakhs (Inclusive
of GST).
1.5 Scope of the study & Methodology adopted

EIA is the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mitigating the biophysical, social
and other relevant effects of development proposals prior to major decisions being taken and

EIA Report
2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Project Description
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) has set up grass root refinery at Paradip with a crude
processing capacity of 15.0 MMTPA. The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) has
commissioned in Fuel- Refinery mode. The original configuration of PDRP included production
of Petrochemical products, viz. Polypropylene (PP), Paraxylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer
(SM) based on Refinery streams, in addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging
demand growth of Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), IOCL planned to install Integrated
Paraxylene (PX) Units of 0.8 MMTPA and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA capacity at Paradip and
associated utilities and offsite facilities at Paradip Refinery.
Paradip Refinery ventured into Petrochemical segment with inclusion of 0.680 MMTPA capacity
Polypropylene (PP) Plant, 332 KT MEG plant and the proposed 1.2 MMTPA capacity Purified
Terephthalic Acid (PTA) plant.
PTA is a non-hazardous, solid white powder, which is the preferred raw material and the basic
building block to produce Polyester Staple Fibre (PSF), Polyester Filament Yarn (PFY), bottle
and industrial grade polyester resin, polyester chips and so on. PSF and PFY are substitutes for
natural cotton and widely used for production of textiles and garments. Eastern India does not
have any economic size of PSF, PFY or PET resin plants. The first PTA plant at IOCL Paradip
can provide steady supply of feedstock PTA to PSF, PYF and PET resin plants. The polyester
resins/chips will further have processed to produce audio/ video tapes, x-ray films, photographic
films, tapes, aseptic bottles for packing mineral water, carbonated drinks, vegetable oil,
cosmetics, toiletries, tea, coffee etc. Thus using PTA from Paradip refinery plant at Odisha, a
number of secondary and tertiary downstream industries could be set-up by entrepreneurs who
could bring large investment to the state of Odisha and to Eastern India as a whole. This in turn
would also help in generating larger employment potential in the region.
Monoethylene Glycol (MEG) plant is also being set-up at Paradip Refinery and used as a raw
material to manufacture items like polyester fibre, textiles. The above PP, MEG and PTA plant
products shall be building blocks for envisaged Plastic & Textile Park respectively in Odisha.

EIA Report
2.1.1 Type of Project

M/s Indian Oil Corporation limited, Paradip Refinery proposes “Integrated Para-Xylene &
Purified Terephthalic Acid (PX-PTA) Project at IOCL Paradip Refinery & Petrochemical
Complex, Paradip, Odisha. The Project is under Schedule 5 (c) - “Petro-chemical complexes
(industries based on processing of petroleum fractions & natural gas and/or reforming to
aromatics” Category A, since all the projects under this schedule falls under “A” category.
2.2 Need of the project
The 15.0 MMTPA Paradip Refinery Project (PDRP) had commissioned in Fuel Refinery mode.
The original configuration of PDRP included production of Petrochemical products, viz.
Polypropylene (PP), Para-xylene (PX) and Styrene Monomer (SM) based on Refinery streams, in
addition to fuel products. Considering the encouraging demand growth of Purified Terephthalic
Acid (PTA), feasibility study had carried for Integrated PX and PTA Units of 1.2 MMTPA
capacity each at Paradip. As per Market Report, there is a deficit of about 2.2 MMTPA PTA in

2.7 Project Details
2.7.1 Existing Facility

Crude Oil is processed in Crude and Vacuum Distillation Unit (CDU/VDU). In CDU, crude
oil is the first heated in a heat exchanger train. It is then heated in a furnace; fractionated in
Crude Distillation Column where physical separation takes place based on boiling point
difference. The top product is LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), which is splitted in C3 and C4
components. C4 component is further processed in Alkylation Unit (Sulphuric Acid as
catalyst) consisting of acid regeneration facility and n-butane Isomerisation, for production of
Alkylate which is used for boosting octane value of Motor Spirit (MS).
112
EIA Report
The 2nd fraction from CDU is Naphtha which is hydrotreated and splitted into Light and
Heavy Naphtha. The Heavy Naphtha along with Coker Heavy Naphtha and FCC Heavy
Naphtha is sent to PX Complex for production of Para Xylene. The PX complex comprises of
Naphtha Hydrotreating Unit, Continuous Catalytic Reformer. The Light Naphtha is sent as
feed to Hydrogen Generation Unit/Naphtha Pool.
The 3rd fraction from CDU is Kero Cut, which is treated in ATF Treatment Unit to remove
undesirable sulphurous compounds to produce Superior Kerosene and ATF.
The 4th fraction from CDU is Diesel cut which is hydrotreated in DHDT to produce 10 ppm
‘S’ HSD and 50 ppm ‘S’ HSD.
The reduced crude oil from CDU is processed in Vacuum Distillation Unit (VDU). VGO
(Vacuum Gas Oil) from VDU is hydrotreated in VGOHDT Unit and then processed in FCC
(Fluidised Catalytic Cracker). The VGOHDT Unit processes a VGO feed with around 3%
sulphur and 0.7% Conradson Carbon Residue (CCR) and produces low sulphur and low CCR
feed for FCC through hydrotreatment. FCC produces petrochemical feed stocks such as
Ethylene, FCC LPG containing Propylene, and also FCC Naphtha, FCC Light Cycle Oil
(HSD component) and Clarified Oil, a component routed to (Delayed Coker Unit) DCU or
blended in Internal Fuel Oil. The Hydrogen requirement of DHDT and VGO-HDT unit is
met from its production in Hydrogen Generation Unit (HGU).
Residue from VDU is processed in DCU (Delayed Coker Unit), which is a secondary
processing unit to improve distillate yield besides producing coke. Part residue is used as
High Sulphur Fuel Oil in utility boilers with Flue gas desulphurisation in refinery operations.
Propylene is separated from C3/ C4 stream from FCC to produce Propylene, which is further
processed to produce Polypropylene.
MEG will be produced from ethylene and oxygen. Ethylene is recovered from FCC off gas
via Ethylene Recovery Unit and Oxygen from air through Air Separation Unit.
Gases from cracking units & hydrotreatment units are amine treated and H2S rich gas is
processed in SRU (Sulphur Recovery Units) to produce Sulphur. The Schematic diagram of
Existing Refinery is given in Figure 2-5

2.7.4 Proposed Facility
2.7.4.1 Technology & Process Description
Feed for the proposed PX-PTA plant will be Reformate, which is produced by processing
Naphtha in CCRU. Reformate will be processed in the PX plant to produce PX, which will
further be processed in the PTA plant for production of PTA.The Overall Process flow diagram
of PX-PTA unit is given in Figure 2-8
2.7.4.1.1 Paraxylene (PX)
Reformate is utilized for production of MS as well as PX. By-products of the PX plant viz.
Raffinate and Heavy Aromatics will be blend in MS/Naphtha pools. The other product, Toluene
from PX plant will be sold to merchants. The process diagram of PX unit is given in Figure 2-9
Fuel gas from the PX complex will be routed to the refinery Fuel Gas header
Paraxylene Unit has a capacity of 0.8 MMTPA. Brief description of the unit is given below:
Paraxylene Unit consists of the following blocks:
 Xylene Fractionation Unit

 Sulfolane Unit (Extractive Distillation)
 Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit
 Tatoray Unit
 Parex Unit
 Isomar Unit
a) Xylenes Fractionation Unit
Feed to the Xylenes Fractionation Unit emanates from three sources, coming in the form of
Debutanizer bottoms from the CCR Platforming Unit, Toluene Column bottoms from the
Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit and Deheptanizer bottoms from the Isomar Unit.
The Plat forming Unit’s Debutanizer bottoms is feed to the Reformate Splitter. The Light
Reformate, i.e. the Reformate Splitter overhead liquid product, is pumped to the Feed Surge
Drumin the ED Sulfolane Unit. The Reformate Splitter net bottoms, consisting of C8+aromatics,
125
EIA Report
are heated in the Clay Treater Feed Heater prior to entering the Clay Treaters. The Clay Treaters
are responsible for removing olefinic material from the feed to the Xylene Columns. The
effluent flow from the Clay Treaters is divided into two equally flowing streams; each acting as
a feed to one of the two Xylene Columns. The flow rate of each of these two streams is reset by
the level in the bottom of the Reformate Splitter.
In order to mitigate flare loads, this unit design employs the use of two identical Xylene
Columns with identical overhead systems. In addition to receiving an equal amount of
Reformate Splitter bottoms feed, each Xylene Column also receives an equal amount of
Deheptanizer bottoms feed and an equal amount of Toluene Column bottoms feed, both of
which consist primarily of mixed xylenes. The Deheptanizer bottoms are fed to the Xylene
Column at the upper feed tray location. The Toluene Column bottoms combine with the
Reformate Splitter bottoms prior to entering the Xylene Column at the lower feed tray location.
Overhead vapors from Xylene Column No 1 are condensed in the hot (shell) sides of Parex
Raffinate Column Reboiler A, Parex Extract Column Reboiler A, and Isomar Deheptanizer
Reboiler A. Similarly, overhead vapors from Xylene Column No 2 are condensed in the hot
(shell) sides of Parex Raffinate Column Reboiler B, Parex Extract Column Reboiler B, and
Isomar Deheptanizer Reboiler B. Condensed material from each train is pressured up to each
system’s respective Xylene Column Receiver. From here, the net overhead liquid is pumped
from each receiver to one of two Parex Feed Surge Drums.Each surge drum effluent stream is
fed to the Parex Unit by two pumps operating in parallel. Prior to feeding the Parex Unit,
however, the pump discharge streams combine into a single stream that is cooled by the
Deheptanizer Feed-Parex Feed Exchanger in the Isomar Unit.
Each Xylene Column employs the use of two fired heaters operating in parallel to reboil the
circulating bottoms material. There is a large degree of heat integration involved with the
Xylene Column circulating bottoms systems. During normal operation, the circulating bottoms
from Xylene Column No 1 are used as heat transfer media for the Parex Desorbent Rerun
Column Reboiler, Clay Treater Feed Heater, Heavy Aromatics Column Reboiler, and Parex
Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboiler A. Meanwhile, the circulating bottoms from Xylene
Column No2 are used as heat transfer media for the Tatoray Stripper Reboiler and Parex
Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboiler B. Although this describes the flow scheme during normal
126
EIA Report
operation, the circulating bottoms systems were designed such that each train is capable of
providing 100 percent of the duty required by any heat user, with the exception of the Parex
Raffinate Column Auxiliary Reboilers. In the case of these heat users, Auxiliary Reboiler A will
only accommodate flow from train one and Auxiliary Reboiler B will only accommodate flow
from train two.
The Xylene Column net bottoms material is comprised of C9+aromatics.Netbottoms streams

from each Xylene Column combine into a single stream prior to feeding the Heavy Aromatics
Column. Here, the C9 and C10 aromatics are taken overhead, condensed, and pumped to the
Feed Surge Drumin the Tatoray Unit. Overhead vapors from the Heavy Aromatics Column are
condensed both by an air cooler and by the Reformate Splitter Feed Heater, as hell and tube
exchanger responsible for heating the Debutanizer bottoms feed from the Plat forming Unit.
Heavier C11+aromatics are pumped from the bottom of the Heavy Aromatics Column to the
Fuel Oil System.
b) Sulfolane Process Unit (Extractive Distillation)

The Sulfolane process uses extractive distillation to recover high purity aromatics from a light
reformates feed stock.
Feed to the unit is obtained from the overhead of the Reformate Splitter in the Xylenes
Fractionation Unit, and from the bottoms stream of the Stripper in the Isomar Process unit.
Extractive distillation is the method used to separate close-boiling components using a solvent
that alters the volatility between the components. The solvent is generally a polar compound
having a boiling point higher than the mixture. When applied to extractive distillation, the
volatility of the aromatics is depressed relative to the other components in the mixture such that
the non-aromatics can be distilled overhead in the Extractive Distillation Column.
There are two primary columns in the extractive distillation unit, they are the Extractive
Distillation Column and the Recovery Column (or solvent stripper column). Aromatic feed,
typically pre-fractionated, is directed to the Extractive Distillation Column.
It exchanges heat with the lean solvent and enters a central stage of the trayed column. The lean
solvent is introduced near of top of the Extractive Distillation column.
127
EIA Report
Combining solvent and feed alters the relative volatilities of the components to be separated
because of the non-ideal behavior of the mixture. This is the key to the process. The selectivity
of the solvent renders aromatics relatively less volatile than the non-aromatics.
As the hydrocarbon vapor stream flows up the Extractive Distillation column, counter- current
to the descending solvent, the aromatics are selectively absorbed.
The function of the upper section of the Extractive Distillation Column is to maximize aromatic
recovery. The overhead vaporis non-aromatic and is referred to as the raffinate. These vapors
are condensed and sent to storage. A portion of the raffinate liquid is used as column reflux to
rectify entrained solvent out of the overhead product. Overhead water is collected in the
Extractive Distillation Column Receiver water boot and returned to the column. The Extractive
Distillation Column is reboiled with steam. There is are boiler preheater to recover heat from the
lean solvent to reduce steam consumption in the reboiler.
In the lower section of the Extractive Distillation Column, the non-aromatics are preferentially
stripped out of the liquid and enter the upper portion of the column as a vapor phase due to the
solvents electivity, which has made the saturates relatively more volatile than the aromatics.
Again, because of finite selectivity, some aromatics, primarily benzene, are stripped into the
upper section of the column where they must be re-absorbed. The lower section of the Extractive
Distillation Column serves the function of aromatics purification.
The Extractive Distillation Column bottoms will contain solvent and highly purified aromatics.
This material is sent to the Recovery Column (solvent stripper column). In this column,
aromatics are separated from solvent under vacuum with steam stripping. The overhead aromatic
product, depending on the composition (BorBT) is condensed and sent to storage or to clay
treating prior to product fractionation. A portion of the extract liquid is used as reflux to remove
residual solvent from the extract vapors. The Recovery Column is reboiled with steam. Water is
collected in the Recovery Column Receiver water boot and is directed to the steam generator.
This generator (heated by exchange with the Recovery Column bottoms) produces the stripping
steam that is returned to the bottom of the Recovery Column via the Solvent Regenerator.
Solvent is purified of residual hydrocarbons as it flows down the Recovery Column.At the
bottom of the Recovery Column the solvent is essentially pure Sulfolane with a small amount of
128
EIA Report
water. This is then returned to the Extractive Distillation Column as lean solvent. A slip stream
of lean solvent is directed to a Solvent Regenerator to remove any degradation products.
c) Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit
The Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit consists of two fractionation columns, the Benzene
Column and the Toluene Column, and a set of two Clay Treaters. The purpose of this unit is to
separate a purified benzene product from the C7+ aromatics, as well as separating toluene from
C8+ aromatics so that the toluene can be sent to the Tatoray unit and to gasoline blending and
the C8+ material can feed the Xylene Fractionation Unit. There are three separate feed streams
that enter the Benzene Toluene Fractionation Unit. They consist of the overhead material from
the ED Sulfolane Recovery Column, the overhead material from the Parex Finishing Column,
and the bottoms material from the Tatoray Stripper.
Overhead material from the ED Sulfolane Recovery Column is preheated by the Clay Treater
Charge Exchanger then heated to the Clay Treater process temperature by the Clay Treater
Charge Heater. Feed flows downward through the Clay Treaters where olefins are removed. The
effluent from the Clay Treaters is cooled in the Clay Treater Charge Exchanger before mixing
with overhead material from the Parex Finishing Column and the Stripper Bottoms product from
the Tatoray Unit. The combined feed stream then enters the Benzene Column. The Benzene
Column feed from the Clay Treater Charge Tank contains saturated water, which is removed in
the Benzene Column Receiver.
The Benzene Column produces a side-draw benzene product, which is cooled and sent to
storage. The toluene-rich Benzene Column bottoms product is heat exchanged with the Toluene
liquid from the Toluene Column Receiver and fed the Toluene Column. The Toluene Column
overhead vapor stream is condensed and the net product is sent to the Tatoray Unit and gasoline
blending. The Toluene Column bottoms stream feeds the Xylene Column in the Xylenes
Fractionation Unit.
d) Tatoray Process Unit
The Tatoray Process Unit flow scheme consists of a fixed-bed reactor and a product separation
section. The fresh feed to the Tatoray unit comes from the overhead of the Toluene Column in
the Benzene-Toluene Fractionation Unit and the overhead of the Heavy Aromatics Column in
129
EIA Report
the Xylenes Fractionation Unit. Feed is first combined with hydrogen-rich recycle gas in the
Combined Feed Exchanger where it is preheated and vaporized by exchange with the hot reactor
effluent. The feed is heated to reaction temperature in the Charge Heater before entering the
Reactor. Feed flows down-flow over the catalyst bed. There act or effluent is then cooled by
exchange with the combined feed, condensed, and sent the Separator.
Hydrogen-rich recycle gas leaves the top of the Separator and is compressed in the Recycle
Compressor. The recycle gas is mixed with makeup gas from the hydrogen central distribution
system. The combined recycle gas joins the liquid feed upstream of the Combined Feed
Exchanger.
A portion of the gas from the top of the Separator is vented to remove accumulated light ends
from the recycle gas loop. This vent is sent to the fuel gas header.
Liquid from the bottom of the Separator is preheated in the Stripper Feed-Overhead Exchanger
and Stripper Feed-Bottoms Exchanger before entering the Stripper. The light ends and a small
portion of the benzene go overhead from the Stripper and are cooled and separated into gas and
liquid products.
The Stripper Vent Condenser on the Stripper Receiver maximizes benzene recovery. The
Stripper overhead vapor is sent to fuel gas.
The benzene and xylene products, together with the unreacted toluene and C9/C10Aromatics,
come from the bottom of the Stripper, are cooled in the Stripper Feed- Bottoms Exchanger, and
finally go to the Benzene Column in the Benzene-
TolueneFractionationUnit.TheStrippernetoverheadliquidissenttotheIsomarStripperto remove the
light ends.
e) Parex Process Unit
The purpose of the Parex unit is to separate Paraxylene from all other C8 Aromatics. The Parex
process belongs to the UOP family of adsorption separation technologies based on the Sorbex
separation concept.
The mixed Xylenes feed from the Xylene Fractionation Unit is first heated in the Deheptanizer
Feed- Parex Feed exchanger located in the Isomar unit. A temperature controller adjusts the flow
130
EIA Report
through the heat exchanger to hold the temperature of the Parex feed at the desired value of 147
ºC.
This unit has two parallel adsorption trains and a common Fractionation Section.
The total feed enters the unit and then splits equally into two streams going to identical adsorbent
trains. The feed then passes through the Feed Filter. The filter, remove any particulate matter that
may damage the rotary valve or plug the adsorbent bed internals. The feed from the feed filter
passes through the feed flow controller and into the Rotary valve. The Rotary Valves control the
flow of feed, Desorbent, Extract and Raffinate streams to and from each set of Adsorbent
Chambers.
The separation takes place in the adsorbent chambers. Each adsorbent chamber is divided into
twelve adsorbent “beds”. Each bed of adsorbent is supported from below by a specialized grid,
which also contains highly engineered flow distributors to inject or withdraw liquid from the
individual adsorbent beds, or redistribute the liquid over the cross-sectional area of the adsorbent
chamber. Each flow distributor is connected to the Rotary valve by a bed line piping.
Each train has 24 adsorbent beds with grids and 24 bed lines connecting the grids to the Rotary
Valve. Due to practical construction considerations, the 24 adsorbent beds are contained in two
adsorption chambers in series with 12 beds in each chamber.
At any given time, only four of the bed lines are active, carrying the net streams into and out of
the adsorbent chamber. The Rotary Valve is used to periodically switch the positions of the
liquid feed and withdrawal points as the composition profile moves down the adsorbent chamber.
Chamber Circulation pumps provide the liquid circulation from the bottom of one adsorbent
chamber to the top of the other.
The dilute extract from the Rotary Valve is heated in the Extract Column Feed- Bottoms
exchanger before feeding the Extract Column. The overhead vapor from the Extract Column is
condensed in the Extract Column Condenser and collected in the Extract Column Receiver,
which floats on the flare header through the Parex Vent Drum.
During normal operation the pressure drop through the Extract Column Condenser, the overhead
vapor line, and the line from the condenser to the receiver will be stable enough that additional
131
EIA Report
control of the extract column pressure is not required. A nitrogen purge is provided to the vent
from the receiver to prevent material from returning from the vent to the receiver as the level in
the receiver changes.
The Extract Column Overhead Pumps provide reflux to the top of the column and also the net
overhead liquid, which is sent to the Finishing Column after getting preheated in the Finish
Column Feed-Bottoms exchanger. The Extract Column is reboiled using heat from the Xylene
Column overhead vapors in the Extract Column Reboiler. Desorbent from the Extract Column
Bottoms Pumps is cooled in the Extract Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger and the Desorbent
Cooler.
A temperature differential transmitter is used between two of the Extract Column trays to
monitor the temperature profile of the column. Adjusting the flow of the net extract stream
enables the control of the composition for the extract.
An on-line analyzer monitors the overhead content of desorbent and helps in monitoring the
desorbent loss with the extract.
The net overhead liquid from the Extract Column is heated in the Finishing Column Feed-
Bottoms exchanger and passes to the Finishing Column. The column is reboiled using
desuperheated MP steam in the Finishing Column Reboiler. The para-xylene product leaves the
Finishing Column Bottoms Pumps under level control in finishing column and is cooled in the
Finishing Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger, the Para xylene Cooler and the Para xylene Trim
Cooler and is stored in Para xylene day tank.
It would then intermittently be pumped out to Paraxylene product storage tank in offsites through
Paraxylene Transfer Pumps. The overhead vapor from the Finishing Column is condensed in the
Finishing Column Condenser. From the Finishing Column condenser, the liquid flows into the
Finishing Column Receiver.
The Finishing Column Overhead Pumps provide the reflux to the top of the column and also the
net overhead toluene, which is sent to the Benzene Column in the B-T Fractionation Unit.
132
EIA Report
Similar to the extract column the overhead receiver pressure floats with the relief header and a
nitrogen purge line is provided to the vent line from the receiver to prevent material from
returning from the vent to the receiver as the level in the receiver changes.
The Rotary Valves direct the raffinate from the Adsorbent Chambers to the Raffinate Column
Feed-Bottoms Exchanger where it is heated upstream of the Raffinate Column (049-C-001).
Vapors from the Desorbent Rerun Column are also directed to the feed tray of the Raffinate-
column. The column is reboiled using the Xylene Column overhead vapors in the Raffinate
Column Reboiler and circulating bottoms from Xylene column in the Raffinate Column
Auxiliary Reboiler. The desorbent leaves the Raffinate Column Bottoms Pumps and is cooled in
the Raffinate Column Feed-Bottoms Exchanger and the Desorbent Cooler and is returned to the
Adsorbent Chambers through the Rotary Valve after being filtered in the Desorbent Filter.
The overhead vapor from the Raffinate Column is condensed in the Raffinate Column Condenser
and the liquid is collected in the Raffinate Column Receiver. Any uncondensed vapor leaves the
receiver and is further cooled in the Raffinate Column Vent Condenser and the liquid is collected
in the Raffinate Column Vent Drum, which floats on the Parex Vent Drum. Liquid from the vent
drum runs back to the receiver and the total reflux is provided to the column using the Raffinate
Column Reflux Pumps. Any water collected in the receiver is sent to the wastewater treatment
plant (By others).
A Raffinate side cut is taken from near the top of the column and collected in the Raffinate
Column Sidecut Surge Drum before going to the Isomar Unit.
During operation of the unit the heavy contaminants present in the feed will accumulate in the
desorbent. To prevent this accumulation part of the desorbent leaving the Raffinate column is
directed to Desorbent Rerun Column. The column is reboiled using Circulating bottoms from
Xylene Column in the Desorbent Rerun Column Reboiler The overhead vapors are directed to
the Raffinate column. Heavy contaminants are removed from the bottom of the column.
Bottoms material from the Desorbent Rerun Column is removed on an intermittent basis. The
heavy aromatics stream will be routed to the Heavy Aromatics Column Bottoms Cooler in the
Xylene fractionation unit and then routed to the fuel oil system.
133
EIA Report
The Desorbent Rerun Column Bottoms Pumps, which are of proportioning type, withdraw a
fixed quantity of heavy aromatics from the Desorbent rerun column. The Desorbent Rerun
Column bottom level is maintained by regulating the duty of the Desorbent Rerun Column
Reboiler through the LIC/FIC control.
The Desorbent Storage Tank provides the storage capacity for the desorbent makeup. The
desorbent storage tank is an atmospheric tank which is nitrogen blanketed. The makeup
desorbent is routed to the Desorbent Rerun column using the Desorbent Makeup Pump.
A Plant Inventory Storage Tank is provided to store the material in the unit in the event of a
shutdown or a period of maintenance. Desorbent mixed with other process fluids are stored in the
plant inventory tank. This tank is an atmospheric tank that is nitrogen blanketed.
The Parex Sump Tank is provided to collect the material vented and drained from the equipment
during the normal operation and maintenance to conserve the valuable desorbent. The desorbent
sump tank is a horizontal vessel located below grade to facilitate draining of process equipment.
The Parex Sump Tank Pump provides the necessary hydraulic head to move the material in the
sump tank to the plant inventory tank. The Parex Sump Tank Pumpout Cooler cools the material
before being routed to the Plant Inventory Storage Tank.
The Desorbent Pumpout Cooler and Desorbent Pumpout Trim Cooler cools the material from the
Parex Unit sufficiently for storage in an atmospheric tank. This is also used during startup and
commissioning operations.
f) Isomar Process Unit
An Isomar unit is always associated with the recovery of one or more xylene isomers. In this
case the Isomar Unit is combined with the UOP Parex process for recovery of paraxylene.
Fresh mixed xylene feed is first sent to a Xylene Column in the Xylene Fractionation Unit,
which rejects C9+ aromatic components in order to meet feed specifications to the Parex unit.
The Xylene Column overhead, containing less than 500 ppm C9+ aromatics, is then directed to
the Parex unit where para-xylene is recovered. The raffinate from the Parex unit, containing less
than 1 wt% para-xylene, is then sent to the Isomar unit which produces para-xylene from the
134
EIA Report
other C8 aromatics. This C8 aromatics stream, Deheptanizer bottoms, is recycled back to the
Xylene Column completing the loop.
The feed to the Isomar unit is first cooled by exchange with the Deheptanizer feed. By lowering
the feed temperature, the duty on the Combined Feed Exchanger increases and the duty on the
Product Condenser is decreased, thus reducing its size. The feed is then combined with
hydrogen-rich recycle gas and make-up gas to replace the small amount of hydrogen consumed
in the Isomar reactor. The combined feed is then vaporized by exchange with reactor effluent in
the Combined Feed Exchanger and then heated to reactor operating temperature in the Charge
Heater. The hot vapor feed is then sent to the Reactor where it is passed radially through a fixed
bed of catalyst. The reactor effluent is cooled by exchange with the combined feed, condensed in
the Product Condenser and then sent to the Separator. To maintain the correct catalyst hydration
level required for optimum catalyst performance, water is injected into the reactor feed upstream
of the Combined Feed Exchanger.
Hydrogen-rich gas is taken off the top of the Separator and recycled back to the Reactor using a
motor driven Recycle Compressor. A small portion of the recycle gas is sometimes purged to
remove accumulated light ends from the recycle gas loop. Liquid from the bottom of the
Separator is heated on its way to the Deheptanizer by two exchangers: The Deheptanizer Feed
Isomar Feed Exchanger, and the Deheptanizer Feed-Parex Feed Exchanger.
The C7- overhead from the Deheptanizer is cooled and separated into gas and liquid products.
The Deheptanizer overhead gas is chilled and separated with the chilled vapor exported to a low
pressure fuel gas system while chilled liquid is returned to the column overhead receiver. The
receiver liquid, along with Tatoray Stripper overhead liquid is sent to the Stripper to remove
water and light hydrocarbons from the overhead product before it is sent to the ED Sulfolane
Unit. The C8+ fraction from the bottom of the Deheptanizer is then recycled back to the Xylene
Column.
2.7.4.1.2 Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA)

Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) Unit has a capacity of 1.2 MMTPA. Brief description of the
unit is given below;
135
EIA Report
Terephthalic acid is produced by oxidizing para-xylene with air in an acetic acid solvent. The
unique catalyst system contains ionic forms of cobalt, manganese, and bromine. Although other
catalyst systems can be used, they do not provide the same conversion and reaction selectivity.
The reaction releases a large amount of heat, which can be removed by allowing some of the
solvent to boil. Water is a co-product. The process diagram of PTA unit is given in Figure 2-10
and Figure 2-11
Process Reaction: -
PTA Plant consists of the following two section:
 TA Slurry Section
 Purified Terephthalic Acid Section
a) TA Slurry Section
The Oxidation Plant is designed for continuous operation and consists of five main sections:
Reaction, TA Slurry Crystallisation, TA Solvent Interchange, Catalyst Feed and Solvent
Treatment.
In the Reaction section paraxylene feedstock is mixed with acetic acid solvent and catalyst
solution and reacted with air. The major proportion of the terephthalic acid produced in the
exothermic reaction is precipitated in the reactor to form slurry. The reactor vapours pass
through a two stage rectifier column which allows recovery of acetic acid, and excess reactor
water is withdrawn from the overheads aqueous condensate.
In the TA Crystallisation section the reactor exit slurry is depressurised and cooled in a series of
three crystallising vessels. The precipitated terephthalic acid product is recovered and transferred
directly to the Purification Plant by continuous filtration incorporating Solvent Interchange. A
136
EIA Report
proportion of the mother liquor generated in this stage is purged to the Solvent Stripper via the
TA Mother Liquor Filter.
In the Catalyst Feed section, fresh catalyst is imported and the flow adjusted to produce a
catalyst solution for feed to the Reaction Section.
In the Solvent Treatment Section, impure solvent recovered from the Reaction and TA Solvent
Interchange Sections, is processed to remove acetic acid and water from the higher boiling
reaction by-products. The recovered solvent is fractionated to remove low boiling impurities, and
produces clean acetic acid solvent for re-use in the Oxidation Plant. The higher-boiling by-
products are quench cooled in water and the resulting slurry transferred to a TA Residues
Recovery Unit for recovery of catalyst, intermediates and by-products from the residues. The

b) Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA Section)
TA Slurry (TA) product from the Oxidation Plant contains a small quantity of impurities which
must be removed before the material can be used in the manufacture of polyester products. This
is achieved in the Purification Plant by selective catalytic hydrogenation of an aqueous solution
of TA slurry at elevated temperature and pressure. Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA) is
subsequently crystallised and recovered by employing solid/liquid separation and drying steps.
The principal impurity, 4 Carboxy- Benzaldehyde (4CBA), is hydrogenated to para- Toluic Acid.
The para-Toluic Acid, being more soluble in water than PTA, remains in aqueous solution during
the subsequent crystallisation and product recovery stages. The equipment list of PTA process

2.16 Water Pollution Control Measures

In Paradip Refinery, to treat waste water, a state-of-the-art ETP with VOC capture system has
been installed. The typical configuration of ETP of Paradip Refinery consists of:
 American Petroleum Institute (API) separator
 Tilted Plate Interceptor (TPI)
 Oily Dissolved Air Floatation (Oily-DAF)
 Bio Tower
 Aeration Tank and Clarifier
 Biological Dissolved Air Floatation (Bio-DAF)
 VOC Removal Facility
 Reverse Osmosis (RO)
Waste water collection systemAPI/TPI Equalization tank Oily DAF Bio Tower 
Aeration Tank  Clarifier  Bio DAF  Final collection Basin. Oil recovered in API/TPI
is collected in Slop tank. VOC system is installed all the oil laden sources like Slop Tank,
Brine Tank, Equalization Tank and Oily DAF.
The Refinery Effluents contains pollutants like oil (Free and Emulsified) BOD, COD and
suspended solids, which are required to be removed before discharging the effluent for
further reuse. Primary treatment is provided for the part removal of free oil in the influent in
the units like API separator followed by TPI separator. Emulsified oil will be removed in the
secondary Oil Separation units like DAF System. Here coagulant and flocculent used for
better separation.
After Secondary Oil removal the influent is led into biological treatment for removal of BOD.
Here, Bio Tower (attached growth process) and Aeration (suspended growth process) are two
biological treatment system. Oil free water undergoes bacteriological treatment under aerobic
condition for removal of COD and BOD. Then suspended flocs from aeration tank are
removed in the clarifier. Clear supernatant routed to bio DAF wherein suspended solids
removed with pressurized stream from treated effluent. This effluent is collected in the check
basin which is a feed to RO system.
There is also sludge treatment facility. The Sludge is categorized as Oily Sludge and Bio-
Sludge and is treated separately. The Bio Sludge is thickened and dewatered separately and
then sent for final disposal as manure. The Oily Sludge will be thickened and pumped to
DCU unit for further processing

EIA Report
After primary and secondary treatment completed in ETP section, treated effluent collected in
check basin is sent for tertiary treatment for achieving maximum recycle. Tertiary treatment
comprises the following:
Treated effluent from check basinRGSF Basket Strainer UF Skid Cartridge filter 
RO skid  RO Permeate tank  UCR for reuse
During the process of filtration in RGSF (Rapid Gravity Sand Filter), the impurities are
removed from water. They precipitate in the voids between the grains of the filter bed. The
specific grain size is 0.5 mm to 2 mm.
After filtration, basket strainers are provided for trapping any sand particles that may leak out
and go into ultra-filtration system thus causing choking in the UF system.
Ultra-filtration is a membrane process in which a porous membrane is used to separate or

reject colloidal and particulate matter.
UF permeate then enter into the Micron cartridge filter for removal of particle of size upto 5
micron. Then the output enters into the Reverse Osmosis (RO) system. Two stage RO system
having 5 skids is installed to get the desired output @ 78% recovery.
Then finally RO permeate passed through the degasser tower to reduce CO2 before sending it
to UCR for reuse in DM plant and CT make up. The Flow diagram of ETP and WRP is given
in Figure 2-26 and Figure 2-27 respectively. The Treated effluent characteristics is given in
Table 2-29. Latest Analysis report of effluent characteristics discharging into sea is enclosed
in Annexure 32.

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, Physiographic profile
 Natural resources

3.5.1 PIA District Profile

Jagatsinghapur District is one of the coastal district of Odisha. It lies between 19°58’ and
20°23’N latitude and 86°30’ and 86°45’E longitude. The district is surrounded by the Bay of
Bengal in the East, Kendrapada District in the North, Cuttack District in the West and Puri
District in the South. It occupies an area of 1668 sq.kms which accounts for 1.07% of the
total area of the state.
This district is situated in the delta region of the river Mahanadi. The district comprises two
district tracts. The first being marshy and swampy stripes along with the coast covered with
wild growth of reeds and tropical jungle. The second tract covers fertile plain land. Since
1870, two big canals were built which supply water to this area. Also in the year 1960, a
natural sea port i.e., Paradip port was built on the Bay of Bengal.

3.5.2 Climatic Conditions

The south-west monsoon is the principal source of rainfall in the district. The district is
characterized by a Topical monsoon climate having three distinct seasons in a year viz.
winter, summer and rainy seasons. The Bay of Bengal, which forms the eastern boundary of
the district, plays a vital role in controlling the climate of the district. The Normal rainfall of
the district is 1501.3 mm. The annual average rainfall in last seven years is 1436 mm. About
75% of the total rainfall occurs during the period from June to September. In the period
between April and May 3 to 4 cyclonic rains generally occur in the district that causes a drop
in the temperature. The temperature varies from 15 to 37ºC. The relative humidity varies
from 74 to 86 percent during the year.

3.5.3 Natural Resources of PIA District

3.5.3.1 Flora & Fauna
The forest area is only 8% of total geographical area. There is no natural forest worth
its name in this district. Hental (phoenix paludosa) grows here abundantly in clusters, which
is scattered and confined to the sea-coast. The mangrove forests are locally called ‘Hental
Van’ or Hental forests. Rich vegetation accounts for widespread of wildlife. Among the
animal’s crocodiles are common. Also varieties of birds are seen along the coastal areas.
Flora and Fauna of PIA are discussed in Section 3.11.

3.5.3.2 Forest Resources

The little forests found in Jagatsinghapur District are of moist mixed deciduous Forests,
North tropical deciduous forest. Forest Type prevalent in this district is the Sal dominated
mixed deciduous forest. The forest cover area of the district is 133 Sq.Km., out of
geographical area of 1668 sq.km which is a moderately dense forest, and 127 sq.km is open
forest. The district is having 132.92 km of DLC forest area. However, on introduction of
Forest Rights Act, 2006, 47 titles have been distributed to the forest dwellers involving about
31.83 acres of forest land. The Dhartang Garh PRF comprising an area of 112.92 ha. of forest
stands for scenic beauty and an excellent habitat for wildlife. Its radius is 07 Km. This forest
is surrounded by Gopalpur G.P of Jagatsinghapur district. This forest consists of variety of
flora and fauna and some rare species of medicinal plants such as Satabari, bishalyakarani,
Patalgaruda, kochila, Karanja, Ashok, Amla, Bela and tree species like Teak, Bamboo,
Mahagani, Deodaru, Panasa etc. and wildlife like deer, monkey, jungle mouse, fox, hyna and
different types of birds such as, koel, chilla, jhinka, pecha, Rajamani, Haladibasanta,
Kumbhatua, Badudi etc. Visitor immunity and recreational facilities have been developed for
casual visitors to the forest and for wild life lovers. Local villagers have been motivated to
help forest people immensely in tracking down the poachers to control the wildlife crime and
ensure forest protection. Hence a VSS has been formed comprising local inhabitants from
Goplapur village and Pandra village. The Kilipal PRF comprises an area of 161.98 ha of
forest. Its radius is 11.60km. This forest is protected by Paruna VSS. They keep a constant
watch on the forest arranging roster duty, as a result of which, forest density is showing an
upward trend.

3.5.3.3 Irrigation
Water is an important factor than soil. An ample and well distributed rainfall is a matter of
vital importance to cultivators. In most of the years the amount of rainfall is sufficient, the
average being 58 inch per annum. But it is unevenly distributed causing deficiency in critical
months to crops. That is why artificial irrigation becomes absolutely necessary. Now-a-days
the country has started implementing bold economic reforms in the agriculture sector. The
Odisha Lift irrigation Corporation (OLIC) hydrologist assesses the water potential in the
district. The Odisha Agro Industries Corporation (OAIC) also undertakes the work of digging
bore well by private enterprises. Under watershed development project for rain fed,
agriculture, mini watersheds are identified. Under this scheme, cultivators are motivated to
switch over to the cropping pattern by providing inputs under crop demonstration
programme. The Source wise Irrigation potential created during the year 2009-10 & 2010-11
is given in Table 3-2

3.5.3.4 Agricultural Resources

Agriculture starts just before monsoon. The cultivators plough their fields in the month of
May and sowing of grain starts from Akshaya Trutiya i.e., last part of May. There are two
seasonal crops namely Kharif and Rabi. Growing and harvesting in rainy, autumn and winter
season is known as Kharif crop whereas the said operation after winter and in summer is
known as Rabi crop throughout all the districts of Odisha. Paddy is the main crop. In addition
to this coconut, mango, banana, pineapple etc. and another cash crop pan (betel leaf) are also
cultivated in this district. Among other cereals wheat, maize etc. pulses like mung, oilseeds
like groundnut, tin, sunflower etc. and sugarcane are also produced in the district. During the
year 2010-11, out of 111 thousand hectares’ cultivable land, Kharif and Rabi paddy covered
88 thousand hectares, which were 47.37% of gross cropped area of 179.60 thousand hectares.
The paddy production was 138.96 thousand MT. The Net area sown and Gross cropped area
during 2010-11 were 91 and 186 thousand hectares respectively and the cropping intensity

3.5.6 Geomorphology of PIA district

Physiographically the district can broadly have divided into two distinct units, viz. i. The
saline marshy tract along the coast ii. The very gently sloping plain
(i). The saline marshy tract forms a long and narrow strip along the coast. The width of this
tract varies from 3 to 15 km and is intersected by tidal streams and shrubby vegetation. Sand
dunes of varied relief extend continuously for kilometres parallel to the coast. These sand
dunes usually forming 5 to 6 chains are gently sloping on the bay side and steeply sloping on
the inland side, due to their Aeolian origin. The gently sloping alluvial plain occurs to the
west of the saline marshy tract and forms the most fertile part of the district.
(ii). The general slope of this tract is towards east and southeast and varies from 0.50 to 1.60
m/km. The distribution of different soil types in the district depends much on its
physiographic and lithologic variations. The Geomorphology Map of the Jagatsinghapur
District is shown as Figure 3-12.

3.5.7 Geomorphology of the Study Area

Geomorphologically the study area within 10km radius of the site consisting three major
units such as Coastal Plains, Flood Plains and Estuarine zone. Based on the nature and age of
deposition the first two units viz., Coastal Plains & Flood Plains are divided into three and
two sub-units respectively. The coastal plains are classified as Younger coastal plains, older
coastal plains and Younger deltaic plains. The flood plains, which are developed due to the
impact of Mahanadi and its tributaries on the pre-existing landforms, are classified as
Younger flood plain, which is currently in active development stage and an older flood plain.
There is a zone of estuarine plains, where the Mahanadi river merges with sea, existing in the
northeastern part of the study area, which is typically, express the intermixing nature of beach
sands with river sands
The total Geographical area of the study area is 490.48 Sq.Km. The Geomorphology of the

The State is underlain by diverse rock types ranging in age from Archaean to Recent. The
State can be hydro geologically sub divided into consolidated, semi-consolidated &
unconsolidated formations. The consolidated formations include hard crystallines and
compact sedimentary rocks whereas semi consolidated formations include weathered and
friable Gondwana sedimentaries and loosely cemented Baripada beds. The unconsolidated
formations include laterites and recent alluvium. The yield of tubewells tapping granite
gneisse ranges between 10-35 m3/hr whereas other consolidated formations, it ranges
between 5-18 m3/hr. The yield of tubewells in semi-consolidated formations range between
20-115 m3/hr.The hydrogeology map of Jagatsinghapur District is given in Figure 3-14
Source:http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Orissa/jagasingpur.pdf
Geo-hydrological Status of the Study Area

The study area including the project site is part of coastal and fluvial alluvium developed due
to the deltaic nature of Mahanadi River with Bay of Bengal. The area is covered with thick
pile of younger and older alluvial formations to an extent of more than 100m bgl. Below the
alluvium there are sandstone formations with intercalation of clay beds are reported which
are part of ParadeepTechtonic Depression of Mahanadi Basin. These sedimentary formations
are extended more than 900m thickness which are successively underlined with basement
crystalline rocks.
Groundwater occurs in semi-confined to unconfined nature in the alluvial formations within
the study area. There are potential shallow fresh water aquifers existing within the study area
at 10 to 20m depth from the existing ground levels. Based on the observations made in the
existing bore wells it is understood that the groundwater level is between 3 to 4 mbgl.
Below the fresh water aquifers there are saline water aquifers which are present at 40 to 50m
bgl within the alluvial formations. The deeper aquifer system is also present within the
Paradeep Depression in deep seated sedimentary formations

3.5.9 Drainage Pattern in PIA district

The main rivers flowing in the district are Mahanadi, Saunlia, Alaka and Devi. The branches
of Devi river are Biluakhai, Gobari river where as the branches of Mahanadi are Paika,
Chirotpala and Hansua river. All the rivers and its branches fall into the Bay of Bengal. 1 The
problem of drainage becomes acute towards the lower reaches of the deltas. The coastal
ridges offer an effective barrier to a free discharge of the flood water. Sometimes the huge
sand deposits create marshy conditions and affect the production of crops. Due to its
geographical situation, the district is congenial and prone to occurrence of various natural
calamities like flood, cyclone and drought. To prevent the calamities, many river dam
projects, canal construction works and irrigation works were made in and nearby district.
Two main canals i.e. Taladanda and Machhagaon provide water for irrigation in the district.

3.5.12 Soils in PIA District

Based on the physical and chemical characteristics, mode of origin and occurrence, soils of
the district may be classified into three groups namely Alfisols, Aridisols and Entisols.
i.Alfisols: This includes deltaic alluvial soils and this type of soils occupies nearly 90% of the
entire district area. The deltaic alluvial soils are generally deficient in phosphate (P2O5) and
nitrogen (N). Both the total and available potassium are fairly adequate and PH varies
between 7.38 and 8.16.
ii.Aridisols: These are saline and saline alkali soils and occur in small pockets in the north
eastern and south eastern corner of the district near coast. These are rich in calcium,
magnesium and also consist of half decomposed organic matter.
iii.Entisols: This includes coastal sandy soils and occurs as narrow elongated ridge along the
coast line. The soils are deficient in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and humus, but not in potash
and lime.

Baseline ambient air quality assessment gives the status in the vicinity of site and is an
indispensable part of environmental impact assessment studies. Significant changes, in
242
EIA Report
predominant winds and weather conditions are observed in winter, summer and post-
monsoon seasons apart from the local topographic influences. The baseline status of air
environment in the study area is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance
programme.
3.6.1 Meteorological Conditions

The regional air quality is influenced by the meteorology of that region. The principal
weather parameters that influence the concentration of the air pollutants in the surroundings
are wind speed, wind direction and temperature. The meteorological data is useful for proper
interpretation of the baseline data. It is used as input for air quality dispersion models for
predicting the post project environmental scenario i.e. ground level concentrations due to
proposed utilities like Boilers &DG sets etc.
3.6.2 Meteorological Data Collection

Available secondary data pertaining to the meteorological parameters was obtained from the
IMD Climatological tables. In addition, baseline meteorological data (primary data) was
generated during the study period (March to May 2019). The methodology adopted for
monitoring surface observations is as per the standard norms laid down by Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS) i.e. IS:8829 and Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
3.6.3 General Meteorological Scenario based on IMD Data

The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) station located to project site is Paradip
port. The Climatological data of Paradip port (20 18’ N and 86o 41’ E), published by the
IMD, based on daily observations at 08:30 and 17:30 hour IST for a 30 year period (1971-

3.7.4 Observations
The ambient air quality has been monitored at 8 locations for 14 parameters as per
NAAQS/CPCB guidelines within the study area. The average baseline levels of PM10 (55.35
– 80.53µg/m³), PM2.5 (27.72 – 38.16µg/m³), SO2(8.63 – 13.21µg/m³), NO2(16.15 –
25.30µg/m³), the nearest CPCB AAQ monitoring station is PPL Guest House in which the
annual average for the year 2018: PM10 (113 µg/m³), PM2.5 (37 µg/m³), SO2(19 µg/m³),
NO2(11 µg/m³).
All the parameters are well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Industrial,
Commercial and Residential areas at all monitoring locations during the study period from
March 2019 - May 2019.
3.8 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. A map noise showing the
noise monitoring locations is given in Figure 3-24.
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.

3.8.2 Observations
The observations of day equivalent and night equivalent noise levels at all locations are given below
 In Industrial areas (Project site) day time noise levels was about 53.8 dB(A) and 47.1 dB(A) during night time, which is within prescribed
limit given by CPCB (75 dB(A) Day time & 70 dB(A) Night time).
 In Commercial areas (Paradwip (Coast Guard)) day time noise levels was about 64.8 dB(A) and night time noise levels was about 54.2
dB(A), which is within the prescribed limit given by CPCB (65 dB(A) Day time & 55 dB(A) Night time).
 In residential area (Paradwipgarh, Dochhaki, Musharhia, Dhinkia, Sunadiakandha and Gandakipur) day time noise levels varied from
50.9 dB(A) to 58.6 dB(A) and night time noise levels varied from 42.6 dB(A) to 47.5 dB(A) across the sampling stations. The field
observations during the study period indicate that the ambient noise levels in some residential area is exceeding the prescribed limit given
by CPCB (55 dB(A) Day time & 45 dB(A) Night time).

3.9 Water Environment
3.9.1 Surface Water Resources

The main rivers flowing in the district are Mahanadi, Saunlia, Alaka and Devi. The branches
of Devi River are Biluakhai, Gobari River where as the branches of Mahanadi are Paika,
Chirotpala and Hansua River. All the rivers and its branches fall into the Bay of Bengal. The
problem of drainage becomes acute towards the lower reaches of the deltas. The coastal
ridges offer an effective barrier to a free discharge of the flood water. Sometimes the huge
sand deposits create marshy conditions and affect the production of crops. Due to its
geographical situation, the district is congenial and prone to occurrence of various natural
calamities like flood, cyclone and drought. To prevent the calamities, many river dam
projects, canal construction works and irrigation works were made in and nearby district.
Two main canals i.e. Taladanda and Machhagaon provide water for irrigation in the district.

3.10 Soil as a resource and its quality

As the entire district is situated at Mahanadi Deltaic region, mostly the soil is alluvial.
Besides, brown soils (hydromorphic) and recently formed hydromorphic soils are also found
in this district. Technically the suborder associations of the soil may be classified as Aquepts-
Aquents, Fluvents-Aqueots-Aqualfs and Ochrepts-Orthents. Soil analysis was carried as per
IS: 2720 methods. Soil quality monitoring locations & results are given in Table 3-18
&Table 3-19. Map showing the soil monitoring locations is given in Figure 3-27.

3.11 Biological Environment
An ecological study of the ecosystem is essential to understand the impact of industrialization

and urbanization on existing flora and fauna of the study area. Studies on various aspects of
ecosystem play an important role in identifying sensitive issues for under taking appropriate
action to mitigate the impact, if any. The biological study was under taken as a part of the
EIA study report to understand the present status of ecosystem prevailing in the study area, to
compare it with past condition with the help of available data, to predict changes in the
biological environment as a result of present activities and to suggest measures for
maintaining its health. Secondary information was collected to list the flora & fauna in 10 km
radius.
During secondary survey, following aspects were considered for ecological studies:
 Assessment of present status of flora and fauna;
 Identification of rare and endangered species of plants and animals (if any);
 Identification of ecologically sensitive areas within the study area;
 Assessment of migratory route of wildlife (if any); and
 Assessment of Aquatic Ecology with specific reference to aquatic birds.
Project site is situated near Dhenkia. In this region comprises of deciduous type forests, along
the Mahanadhi river, numerous wetland and human population area. There is Mangrove
forest situated towards North east of the project site but from 8.5 km from the plant area. The
project area is considered as core area, whereas, 10 km radial distance for the project site is
being considered as buffer area

EIA Report
3.11.3 Management in and around Project area
Environmental problems in the state of Odisha have been influenced partly by the increasing
population, survival needs of the poor and the economic greed of the commercial interests.
They are also aggravated by prevalent economic disparities and unemployment, which are
deeply embedded in unsustainable patterns of production and consumption; ill-informed
policies and programs; and inappropriate developing strategies. As far as the forest resources
of the Near Brahmaputra valley is concerned, gap in scientific knowledge, increasing
demands, lack of value addition are the main causes for which the vast potential is yet to be
tapped properly and in some cases over exploited. Gap in scientific knowledge on various
forest resources and products is a major problem for management of resources in the state.
Although considerable amounts of revenue have been collected from forest products where
local people are also directly or indirectly involved in gathering and in some cases marketing
as well, but they have hardly any knowledge on the silvicultural management of various
minor forest products. Except for some well-known commercial species, the information on
distribution of various forest products, their density, regeneration status, yield estimate and
harvesting levels are lacking. There is need to formulate sound management plan that
addresses the knowledge about the life cycle pattern of the species, productivity and yield
estimation techniques.
Monitoring and maintaining of the complex ecosystem is important aspect of bioresource
management. Technical aspects include choice between different methods and techniques and
development of appropriate harvesting and processing technologies. There is also social
aspect of resource management that deal with people, cultures, belief systems, attitudes and
behaviour, ethics, aspirations and social values. As far as the state of Odisha is concerned, all
these aspects should be taken into consideration prior to the formulation of management
strategies. Finally, exercise of administrative power in another important aspect to hold
control over users of resources and decision-making.
For reclamation of degraded forest lands and riparian sites, plantation and ecorestoration
programme may be initiated with prioritize species in relation to ecoregion/ agro-climatic
zones. In riparian sites plantation of bamboo and various species of grass can be initiated to
check erosion. Eco-sensitive zones in the valley should be demarcated and regulations may
be imposed on developmental projects like mega dams, industrial activities, 34 quarrying and
mining in such areas are other important measures of conservation may be initiated.

Updation of the database on floristic diversity in terms of species, ecosystems & genetic traits
with reference to status, pressures and also in regard to changing climate are other issues of

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 Usage
 Mechanical Equipment’s
 Working in confined space
319
EIA Report
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. The overall impact of the pollution on the environment during construction phase
is localised in nature, reversible and is for a short period . 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
320
EIA Report
sprinkled on ground or stock pile of excavated soil.

 Equipments / 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 equipments/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 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
The proposed process units under the PX PTA project will be implemented within M/s IOCL,
PDR premises. The proposed 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.
Transportation of construction material (quarry material, cement &steel, paint, bricks etc)
during construction phase of the project results in use of public infrastructure like roads,
railways, drainage, water and power supply which in turn results in extra burden.
321
EIA Report
During the construction phase of the project there will be short term employment generation
in the form of skilled and semiskilled labours. This could be for a period of maximum 2 to 3
years but the daily wage unskilled labours employed locally. Also majority of the works will
be sub-contracted. There could be several impacts due to the location of construction camp in
the area where in local area will receive people from most part of the country.
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.
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 suspension 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.
12. To avoid/minimise impact/strain on the existing infrastructure, the worker camps will
be self-sufficient and would not rely on any local resource. This would help to avoid
any conflict with the local population. To mitigate impacts from health hazards,
sanitation facilities will be provided
322
EIA Report
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.
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. Creation of vegetation screens to act as a barrier to dust.
4. Appropriate enclosed areas for storage of construction materials.
5. Facilitating the workers with the required personal protective equipment’s.
6. Efficient usage and maintenance of equipment’s/machineries to lower air emissions,
noise pollution and consumption of energy resource.
7. Exhaust vent of DG set will be provided with adequate stack height to ensure quick
dispersal of gaseous emissions.
8. Periodic monitoring and maintenance of transport vehicles to check on the quality of
emission to be within permissible limits and consumption of fuel.
323
EIA Report
9. 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 the existing
Refinery water source(Mahanadi River)
2. Storehouse will be located at a distance away from the water storage area to prevent
accidental release or spillage.
3. Proper management of rain water run-off during monsoon and creating bunds to
utilize the rain water for construction purpose.
4. An appropriate water management system will be implemented.
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.
324
EIA Report
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.
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).
325
EIA Report
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
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

All the parameters are well within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Industrial,
Commercial and Residential areas at all monitoring locations during the study period from
March 2019 - May 2019. Stack emission of PM, SOx & NOx are due to process units, Flare
and DG. Adequate measures will be taken to control Air Pollution.
4.5.1 Meteorological data
The meteorological data for a month, i.e. from 01/03/2019 to 31/05/2019 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

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.
328
EIA Report
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 km. 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
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 4-2.
Maximum incremental values for PM, SO2, NOx and CO have been represented as pictorial
concentration contours and as tabular concentration values in following sections

4.6 Noise Environment
4.6.1 Impact
The noise generated during the operational phase can be divided into two categories
379
EIA Report
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.
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 Safety and Health Administration Standard (OSHA). 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.
4.6.2 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.
 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.
380
EIA Report
 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.
 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 total raw water requirement for
existing facility is 3497 m3/hr and for proposed operation phase total requirement will be
1299.5 m3/hr. On total after expansion 4796.5 m3/hr of raw water of which the fresh water of
3743 m3/hr will be taken from existing water source (Mahanadi River). New ETP is proposed
for installation to process effluent @ 408 m3/hr with 10% design Margin (Maximum capacity
with high TOC).
The source of water will be from Existing Refinery water source i.e., Mahanadi River. Hence
there will be no separate permission is required for the proposed projects
381
EIA Report
4.7.1 Mitigation Measures
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.
4.7.2 Waste Water Quality, Quantity and Treatment Method

a) Existing
Approx. 1082.1 m3/hr of effluent is generated in the existing facility of which 190.88 m3/hr
rejects from RO is disposed to Deep Sea, 50 m3/hr rejects from RO is sent to Coke Dust
Suspension and 50 m3/hr rejects from RO is sent to Coke Cutting. The Sludge created during
the treatment of about 32.46 m3/hr along with a water loss of about 10.76 m3/hr. Remaining
748m3/hr from RO is reused back in the system for DM Water Makeup.
b) Proposed
In the proposed expansion Approx. 408 m3/hr of effluent is generated in the proposed facility
of which 78% of effluent is processed in RO plant and its rejects of 86.18 m3/hr is disposed
into deep sea. The Sludge created during the treatment of about 12.24 m3/hr along with a
water loss of about 4.08 m3/hr. The remaining RO processed water of 305.5 m3/hr is reused
back in the system for DM Water Makeup and cooling tower. New ETP is proposed for
installation to process effluent @ 408 m3/hr with 10% design Margin (Maximum capacity
with high TOC)
The existing and proposed effluent disposal into deep sea is 190.88 m3/hr and 86.18 m3/hr
respectively. On total, 277.06m3/hr will be discharge into deep sea and it is observed to be
within the discharge approval limit of 350 m3/hr as per the OPCB consent for Air and water
obtained vide:5543/IND-I-CON-6414 dated 31.03.2021 valid till 31.03.2022 copy enclosed
as Annexure 3. The industrial effluent is discharged into deep sea through the pipeline where
its outlet of pipe is at a distance of 3km from the Low Tide Line (LTL).
382
EIA Report
4.8 Land Environment

During operational phase the impact shall be due to disposal of solid and hazardous waste
generated during operation of the plant. Spent Catalyst after every 4-5 years will be duly
recovered by PCB approved agencies
4.8.1 Potential Impact Due to Location

The proposed expansion is 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.
4.8.2 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.
4.8.3 Mittigation 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.
4.9 Marine Environment

The impact in the context of biota and fishery resources in the area is not considered to be
significant as the construction in the creek is for minimal period. The impact of closed
conveyor passing through the creek would have least impact on the aquatic ecological status
as there will be no spillage in this area.
The project proponent shall adopt preventive practices like leak monitoring of existing
effluent discharge pipelines in the sea, surveillance to prevent any liquid hydrocarbon falling
on the water body of the creek from the hydrocarbon pipelines passing over the bridge of
Santa Creek. The project proponent shall have mitigation plan with Oil spill contaminant
383
EIA Report
boom under the new pipe bridge to take care of any inadvertent oil spills and suitable
skimmers for recovering of any accidental oil spill over the creek water.
The existing and proposed effluent disposal into deep sea is 190.88 m3/hr and 86.18 m3/hr
respectively. On total, 277.06m3/hr will be discharge into deep sea that it is observed to be
within the marine discharge approval limit of 350 m3/hr as per the OPCB consent for Air and
water obtained vide: 3946/IND-I-CON-6414 dated 27.03.2020 valid till 31.03.2021 copy
enclosed as Annexure 3. The industrial effluent is discharged into deep sea through the
pipeline where its outlet of pipe is at a distance of 3km from the Low Tide Line(LTL).
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 2.18.
4.10.2 Mitigation Measures

The hazardous waste generated can be processed by bioremediation techniques or with proper
disposal to the authorities. The biodegradable waste generated can be composted and used as
manure. The other waste can be disposed in municipal bins.

Management Plan.
 To prepare a detailed action plan for implementation of mitigation measures.
 Measure the effectiveness and success of proposed mitigation measures
10.3 EMP Structure and Organization

This EMP is designed as an overriding document in a hierarchy of control plans, and sets out
the overarching framework of environmental management principles that will be applied to
the project during preconstruction, construction and operation phase of the project.
The EMP contains guiding environmental principles and procedures for communication,
reporting, training, monitoring and plan review to which all staff, contractors and
subcontractors are required to comply with throughout the preconstruction, construction and
operation phases of the proposed projects.

the help of an external agency. Thus observed leaks are identified and rectified. And the
same will be continued after the proposed expansion.
10.6.1.1 Gaseous Waste Emissions
The atmospheric pollution generated from the ISBL Process Plant mainly comes from the
Process Inerts Vent (G1), PTA Day Silo A exhaust (G2), PTA Day Silo B exhaust (G3),
Offspec PTA silo exhaust (G4), and ISBL PSV Vent Scrubber Stack (G5). There are two
main exhaust treatments used in the PTA plant: catalytic oxidation and bag filtration. G1:
Process Inerts Vent The off-gas to the process vent stack comes from the oxidation reactor,
which contains various volatile organics such as benzene, methylbenzene, methanol, methyl
acetate, methyl bromide, and other volatile organic substances. After the dimethylbenzene
and acetic acid are recovered, most of the organic substances and methyl bromide contained
by the waste gas will be oxidized and decomposed via the high pressure catalytic oxidation
(CATOX) reactor. Low pressure vents requiring treatment, which include vent streams from
the Low Pressure Absorber, the PTA Vent Knock Out Drum, and the PTA Dryer Scrubber
vent, are treated in the Low Pressure catalytic oxidation system. The off-gas from the
CATOX reactor and the Low Pressure catalytic oxidation system is scrubbed for bromine
removal in the Process Vent Scrubber and combined in the Process Inerts Vent with the vent
of the Reverse Osmosis Purge Drum, and the vent of the liquid catalyst tank.
G2/G3/G4: Exhaust Gas from PTA Day Silo A, PTA Day Silo B, and PTA Off-Spec Silo
Off-gas after catalytic oxidation and bromine scrubbing is used for the conveying of PTA
product into the PTA day silos, and the off-spec silo. Because treated off gas is used for
conveying, it does not contain any volatile organic substances. The vent of the silos is treated
by a pulse bag-type dust removal system prior to discharging to the atmosphere, as it contains
a small quantity of PTA powder.
G5: ISBL PSV Vent Scrubber Stack
Many oxidation section relief valves are sent to the Ox unit PSV scrubber to reduce acetic
acid concentration of the streams that are sent to the scrubber during a release event. The vent
from the Ox Unit PSV Scrubber contains nitrogen sweep gas at a normal flow rate of 55
Nm3/h. The normal vent is pure Nitrogen, which contains no organic compounds. The
Gaseous Waste Emissions from PX and PTA Plant is given in Table 10-4 and Table 10-4

10.6.3 Solid Waste Management

Mainly four types of solid wastes are generated in the Refinery and its townships; namely
oily sludge, biological sludge (from the biological treatment of the wastewater), other
industrial solid wastes (intermittent) and the domestic solid wastes. The oily-sludge and spent
catalyst of PX are the hazardous wastes generated in refinery operations.
Oily sludge is generated mainly during cleaning of storage tanks and from ETP. Mechanical
extraction method uses solvent & steam heating and then oily sludge is processed in a plant
equipped with centrifuge in order to recover maximum possible oil and water. The sludge is
broken down into water, oil and base sediments. Water is drained into ETP for further
treatment while the recovered oil is pumped into slop oil tanks for reprocessing in the
refinery. The base sediment (residual oily sludge) in solid state has an oil content of around
3-8%wt and is disposed through bioremediation facility inside the refinery.
One-time Catalyst is generated whenever the activity of catalyst is reduced to such a level
that further plant operation is not possible. These catalysts are stored in drums and are
disposed off suitably.
Kitchen wastes are generated in every household of the township. Also canteen wastes are
generated in refinery. Both these waste are collected and processed in Organic Waste
Convertor.
Waste batteries/Spent catalyst generated and returned back to manufactures/vendors under
buyback scheme.
Metal waste and drum waste generated are disposed suitably.
445
EIA Report
For the proposed project, IOCL Paradip allocates the recurring cost of INR 0.1crores budget
towards expenditure on solid waste management. Spent Catalyst after every 4-5 years will be
duly recovered by PCB approved agencies
10.6.4 Noise Environment
To contain to the sound pollution in the vicinity of the plant site, all noise making equipment
are specified with maximum noise generation upto 85 db (A). Only in some areas like
Process Air Compressor House, where the sound level is expected to be higher (>90 dbA),
suitable acoustic treatment will be provided along with mandatory use of ear plugs.
Comprehensive measures for noise control will be followed at the design stage in terms of
 Noise level specification of various rotating equipment as per Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA) standards.
 Equipment layout considering segregation of high noise generating sources.
 Erecting suitable enclosures, if required, to minimize the impact of high noise
generating sources.
 Sizing the flare lines with low Mach number to have lower noise levels.
 Green belt of appropriate width all around the refinery towards noise attenuation
10.6.5 Material Handling Storage and Transportation

 Hazardous chemicals are stored in closed tanks and drums with appropriate
blanketing systems.
 All transfers from drums / tanks are being done through pumps in closed pipelines.
 The loading of finished products to trucks and drums is done through automated
filling systems with overflow protections.
 All key raw materials are charged to the reactors through closed pipeline systems
including pneumatic systems for solid handling.
 Raw materials/ intermediates/ products are stored in closed tanks/drums provided with
breather arrangements to avoid fugitive emissions.
