1 BACKGROUND:

GNFC is one of the leading Indian Companies in the business of manufacturing and selling Fertilizers and Chemicals. GNFC has commissioned 50,000 MT per annum Toluene Di-Isocyanate (TDI) at Dahej i.e. 45 km from Bharuch. At present, this PLANT has a Natural Gas Fired Boiler to meet the process steam requirements and the power requirement is met from GETCO at 220 KV level and stepped down to 11 KV, 3.3 KV and 415 V. The present requirement of power is about 12.5 MW, which may go up to 18 MW in the near future with implementation of future projects at this site.

Due to increase of Natural Gas prices, the generation of steam using natural gas fired boiler is found to be unattractive and uneconomical in present scenario. Hence, GNFC decided to set-up 18 MW Captive Cogeneration Power Plant (CCPP) at GNFC, Dahej considering advantages in terms of self sufficiency and economic advantages.

The CCPP consists of Circulated fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) Boiler, Controlled Extraction cum Condensate type Steam turbine, associated utilities and balance of plants like coal handling, Ash handling & disposal system etc. at GNFC, Dahej complex.

Process Water, DM Water, Cooling Water, Fire Water, Plant & Instrument Air etc. will be catered from existing facilities. No augmentation such utilities is envisaged presently.

Steam and power generation unit is proposed to be interconnected with the existing steam network and power network appropriately.

All the new facilities shall be installed by utilizing the spare space/land available at Dahej Unit.

It is proposed to optimally utilize the present capacities/ space/resources, wherever possible, for meeting the additional requirements by tightly integrating the existing and new facilities without any significant additional investment.

Proposed CCPP Project will provide employment of 50 persons for continuous operation. Out of them, 20 would be skilled and 30 would be unskilled persons.

Magnitude of operation:

From proposed captive cogeneration power plant; steam and electricity would be generated as follows

Steam 180 TPH Power 18 MW

3 PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

Basic methodology:

It is proposed to install Circulated fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) Boiler (180 TPH at 93.01 Bar G. and 535ºC) with Controlled Extraction cum Condensate type Steam turbine having following Extractions.

Extraction-1 (50 TPH at 39.31 Bar G. and 423ºC): for preheating of Feed Water of same Boiler and to meet downstream Process steam requirements after De-superheating at 35 Bar G. and 250ºC.

Extraction-2 (100 TPH at 19.60 Bar G. and 345ºC): for Pre-heating of Feed Water of same Boiler and to meet downstream Process steam requirements after De-superheating at 19.60 Bar G. and 213ºC.

Also, LP steam (3.5 Bar G. and 148ºC) for De-aerator will be generated from Extraction-2.

Steam Turbine Generator:

Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) technology utilizes the fluidized bed principle in which crushed (6-12 mm size) fuel and lime stones are injected into the furnace. The particles are suspended in a stream of upwardly flowing air (60-70% of the total air) which enters the bottom of the furnace through air distribution nozzle. The fluidizing velocity in circulating bed ranges from 3.7-9 m/sec. The fine particles (< 450 microns) are elutriated out of the furnace with flue gas velocity of 4-6 m/sec. The fine particles are then separated by cyclone and are partially cooled in a separate low velocity fluidized bed heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the steam. The cooler fine materials are then recycled to the dense bed.

In CFBC design steam generator, the dense bed does not contain any in- bed tube bundle heating surface. The furnace enclosure and internal division wall type surfaces provide the required heat removal. This is possible because of the large quantity of solids that are recycled internally and externally around the furnace. Because of solid recycling (cyclone separator), the mass flow rate of the combustion gas, and furnace temperature remains uniform. The typical steam generator arrangement is shown in fig.

Total coal required would be about 0.236 million tonnes per year considering the plant load factor (PLF) as 0.85. Coal handling system is envisaged to operate for 8 hours in a day, and accordingly one of stream of conveyor and equipment are considered.

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

Coal Receipt and Unloading at Site.

Coal would be received from SECL coal mines through railway mode using BOXN wagon at Bharuch unit of GNFC or Dahej railway yard, by railway wagons. The report considers presently that coal from railway wagons would be unloaded and loaded onto trucks using the existing facilities and sliding arrangement at Bharuch unit, since coal receiving arrangement at Dahej is still not finalized. Coal from Bharuch unit will be transported by trucks to TDI Dahej unit. Coal storage for 15 days is planned to meet the unexpected interruptions in coal supply. The maximum lump size of the coal would be about (-) 300mm.The coal will be unloaded through truck dump hoppers.

Coal requirement per day would be about 754 MT. Hence approx 30 No. of trucks per day, based on 25 MT payload capacity of truck, is expected to carry the coal to the site. The coal would be unloaded from trucks through tippler or self tippling system to the dump hoppers.

The coal is expected to be received either through self tippling trucks or non-tippling trucks, In order to facilitate the unloading of coal received through non-tippling trucks, 1 (one) No. of hydraulic truck tippler is proposed.

Coal Conveying System

The coal would be conveyed after two stages of crushing and one stage of screening to the boiler bunkers by combination of belt conveyors and pipe conveyors.

In order to ensure zero spillages inside the plant during conveying of coal, pipe conveyors are proposed wherever feasible.

Space provision is made in the form of storage silo to store about 15 days requirement of coal. Coal from the storage silo would be evacuated and fed to downstream conveyors by paddle feeders.

ASH HANDLING SYSTEM

The proposed ash handling system is based on the following design considerations:

a) Coal firing rate at MCR condition: 31.42 tph

b) Ash content: 21.2 %

c) Type of coal: Domestic or imported

d) Percentage distribution of total ash produced: Bottom Ash – 20%; Fly Ash – 80%

e) The systems envisaged for ash removal Bottom ash (BA) - Mechanical system

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

13

Fly ash (FA) - Pressure pneumatic system

f) Location of disposal area: Ash generated in the plant will be stored in FA Silo and BA silo, with holding capacity of each silo will be 4 days generation rate.

g) Ash generation: Bottom ash and fly ash generated per day would be about 32 MT and 128 MT respectively.

Ash formed due to combustion of coal in the steam generator (SG) would be collected as bottom ash in the bottom ash hopper and as fly ash in the fly ash hoppers.

Bottom Ash Handling

The bottom ash is evacuated through respective bottom ash coolers and fed to the bottom ash silo through drag chain conveyor and bucket elevator.

Fly Ash Handling System

Pressure cum Pressure Type Pneumatic System

The fly ash collected at the ESP, Eco and APH hoppers would be gravity fed into individual transmitter vessels provided below each hopper. On initiation of fly ash collection system, the inlet valve would open and allow the fly ash to be fed into the transmitter vessel for pre-determined time after which the inlet valve would close. Afterwards, the conveying compressed air would be allowed to flow into the transmitter vessel by opening the air inlet valve. Once the desired conveying pressure is reached inside the vessel, the fly ash would be conveyed to the fly ash silo with the help of compressed air through transport piping. The conveying air would be vented through the bag filters mounted on top of the silo in order to limit the dust concentration in the vented air. The fly ash transmitter vessels connected to ESP hoppers in a particular column / row would be connected to common fly ash conveying pipe line.

Fly ash removal from all the hoppers in each field that are connected to common conveying line would be done simultaneously. The evacuation from any hopper would continue cycle after cycle till the level in the hoppers reaches low level. The evacuation of fly ash from any particular hopper would be initiated whenever the level in the hopper reaches predetermined level. Therefore the removal and transfer of the fly ash to the silos would be done in cyclic manner on a continuous basis.

Disposal of Ash from Fly Ash Silo and Bottom Ash Silo

The fly ash silo and bottom ash silo would be designed to have capacity to store ash generated for 4 days operation. The ash collected in the fly ash and bottom ash silo

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

14

would be unloaded into closed trucks in dry form to prevent ash spillage from the trucks while taking the ash outside of the plant.

Raw material

The main raw material required for proposed project would be Coal to be received from South Eastern Coalfields Limited (SECL) Collieries. GNFC already has Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the company and Coal Lineage Document has been signed by both the parties.

The quantity of coal at full power generation capacity shall be 2,36,250 TPA.

Domestic Coal from SECL collieries is proposed to be received at GNFC, Bharuch or at Dahej railway yard. The design calorific value of the coal is around 5041 kcal/kg (GCV), while the worst calorific value of coal is around 4605 kcal/kg. The annual coal requirement for proposed coal fired captive cogeneration facility has been estimated to be about 0.236 MTPA for a plant load factor (PLF) of 85%, based on worst quality coal. Tentative analysis of coal is attached at Annexure-1.

Along with coal, about 20 MT/Day TDI tar will also be use in steam generator.

Coal requirement per day would be about 754 tonnes. Hence, approx 30 No. of trucks per day, based on 25 MT payload capacity of truck, is expected to carry the coal to the site. The coal would be unloaded from trucks through tippler to the dump hoppers.

Water requirement

Project Proponent already has existing unit at said location and the GIDC already supplies required water for plant.

For upcoming activities also, 3500 KLD water would be required, which would be sourced from GIDC water supply.

4 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

Types Of Pollution

The environmental impact of the proposed coal fired captive cogeneration facility, covering the following aspects is presented in this section

AIR POLLUTION

The air polluting emissions from the power plant are as follows:

a) Dust particulates in flue gas, from chimney

b) Sulphur dioxide (SO2) in flue gas

c) Nitrogen oxides (NOx) in flue gas

d) Coal dust particles while handling of coal

e) Fly ash dust particles from ash silos.

Power Generating Capacity Minimum Stack Height

- 500 MW and more 275 m

- 200 MW and above to less than 500 MW 220 m

- Less than 200 MW H = 14(Q)0.3

Where H – stack height in meters

Q – SO2 emission rate in kg/hr.

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

16

DUST PARTICULATES FROM FLY ASH IN FLUE GAS

As per notification by Central Pollution Control Board dated 18th November 2009, for the ambient air Quality, the permitted limits of ground level concentrations of pollutants considering Industrial, Residential, Sensitive areas is furnished in Table VIII.1:

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

17

As per the above norms the particulate matter (PM) emission applicable to this project would be 50 mg/Nm3. But considering new notification of limiting the PM emission to 30 mg/Nm3 as per the stipulation by the World bank group on pollution prevention and abatement handbook (July 1998), the electrostatic precipitators (ESP) for the project would be designed to limit the emission level of PM to be within 30 mg/Nm3.

SULPHUR DIOXIDE (SO2) IN FLUE GAS

One RCC chimney having brick flue is proposed for the captive co-generation unit. The total height of chimney will be around 110m for effective dispersal of SO2. The exit velocity of flue gas from the chimney will be in the range of 22-25 m/sec.

NITROGEN OXIDES (NOX) IN FLUE GAS

Since CFBC boiler technology is adopted for this project, the NOx emission expected from the steam generator would be low. The relatively low combustion temperature in the CFBC boiler helps to reduce NOx formation. The NOx ground level concentrations (GLC) have to be verified during the EIA study.

COAL DUST PARTICLES DUE TO HANDLING OF COAL

Coal dust would be generated generally at the conveyor transfer points, coal unloading area. Hence coal transfer points would be provided with dust extraction facilities. Further, in order to arrest the coal dust generation, pipe conveyors are proposed wherever feasible and all trough type conveyors would be provided with enclosed galleries. The bottom portion of all the conveyor galleries would be provided with seal plates within the power plant area and at road crossings. The coal unloading area will be provided with plain water dust suppression system, to reduce the dust being generated during unloading operation.

Dust collection system would also be provided in coal bunkers and coal storage silos to evacuate dust and hazardous gases like methane from the coal bunkers. Collected dust would be returned to either the associated belt conveyor or to the coal bunker.

The dust collector outlet emission would be restricted to 30 mg/Nm3.

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

18

FLY ASH DUST PARTICLES FROM ASH SILOS AND ASH DISPOSAL AREA

Fly ash evacuated from the ESP collecting hoppers would be transported in closed pipelines by pneumatic means. At the time of unloading fly ash to the silos, some ash laden air could escape out. In order to restrict the fly ash dust particles to the limits of 30 mg/Nm3, a vent filter would be installed on top of each of the fly ash silos at the vents.

In order to restrict the bottom ash dust particles to the limits of 30 mg/Nm3, a vent filter would be installed on top of each bottom ash silos at the vents.

WATER POLLUTION

The water pollutants applicable for this plant are:

a) Cooling tower blow down water

b) Steam generator blow down

c) Effluent from ash handling area

d) Effluent from coal pile area

e) Air pre-heater wash water effluent

f) Plant wash down water

g) Floor and equipment drainage effluent

h) Rain water drainage

i) Sewage from various buildings in the plant

As per the notification issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests dated 19 May 1993, the Schedule-VI specifies the quality of effluent permitted to be discharged. The qualities of effluents have been specified under the following categories:

a) Inland surface water

b) Public sewage

c) Land for irrigation

d) Marine coastal areas.

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

19

For the proposed power plant, the category to be considered would be under inland surface waters. The major effluent limits under category are:

a) Suspended solids: 100 mg / l (max)

b) pH: 6.5 to 8.5

c) Temperature: Shall not exceed 50C above the receiving water Temperature

d) Oil and grease: 10 mg/l.

The quantity of effluents would conform to the limits indicated above and also those limits prescribed by Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB).

REUSE OF PLANT EFFLUENTS

The following measures are proposed for reusing plant effluents:

Cooling Tower Blow down

Water from CW blow down tank would be utilized for cleaning the coal handling system area and cleaning of silo area of ash handling system.

The cooling tower blow down does not require treatment but relies on minimizing the level of pollutants by operating at reduced cycles of concentration to prevent the built-up of contaminants and through proper selection of treatment chemicals

Plant Wash Down Water

In the power plant, some specific locations require washing to maintain good plant housekeeping and prevent build up of dirt and waste material. The waste water would be led to the existing ETP.

Floor and Equipment Drainage System Effluent

Means would be provided for collecting and draining water from floors in process areas of the plant and collecting and disposing of water and other liquids from process equipment, discharged fire protection water and oil storage tanks.

In the turbine building, the ground floor slabs would be sloped to drain out floor drains. The equipment drains are piped directly to the drain system. Drains are collected and directed to sumps outside the buildings from where it would be pumped to the ETP through oil water separator.

M/s. GNFC Ltd (Dahej Unit) Prefeasibility Report

20

SEWAGE FROM VARIOUS BUILDINGS IN THE PLANT

Sewage from various buildings will be by sewers connecting to the nearest manholes. The sewage will be led to existing effluent treatment plant. A network of sewers with manholes located at all junctions and at a spacing of 50 m will be provided to cover all the buildings in the proposed cogeneration facility.

THERMAL POLLUTION

The power plant envisages installation of all required heat recovery system example air heaters, economizers to utilize the heat content of the exhaust gas from the steam generator, which would enable reduction of the exhaust gas to lowest possible value there by reducing the thermal heat discharge in to atmosphere.

NOISE POLLUTION

The source of noise in the proposed power plant are:

a) Steam turbine generator

b) Other rotating equipment

c) Combustion induced noises
