7.1 R & R ACTION PLAN

No R & R action plan would be required as the proposed establishment of distillery project

would be undertaken in existing premises of sugar factory by JSL Dhawarwadi, Dist.: Satara.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

Proposed distillery shall be implemented by the project proponents in the premises of existing

integrated project complex of JSL. The risk assessment and hazard management study was

done by Mr. Vinod Sahasrabudde who is the Functional Area Expert (FAE) and

Mr. Gandhar Ghanekar who is Associate Functional Area (FAA) for Risk & Hazard (RH)

of EEIPL. The proposed project would be formulated in such a fashion and manner so that

utmost care of safety norms and Environment Protection Act shall be taken care of.

7.4 RISK PRONE AREAS IN SUGAR & CO-GENERATION OF JSL

7.4.1 Boiler Operations

Boiler operation is main operation which provides steam throughout plant for various

process operations. Bagasse is a prime fuel for boiler and the area is allotted for bagasse

storage is 5,000 Sq.m open space and ash generated is stored on site on open space

30,000MT. Bagasse storage is covered with fire hydrant.

Mitigation Measures Onsite

• Boiler is designed as per IBR rules

• Bagasse is covered with fire hydrant line

• Overhead High Tension (H.T.) wires are avoided

• Lightning arrestor are placed at the top of the molasses tank for preventation of fire.

7.4.2 Storage of Molasses

Molasses is used mainly for production of Ethyl Alcohol, RS and ENA. At present, factory is

having two mild steel molasses storage tank of 4,000 MT capacity each. Proper care will be

taken by sugar factory to cool down molasses before it goes to molasses storage tank. Tanks

are well equipped with suitable pump for recirculation of molasses. A two months stored

molasses is ideal for fermentation. Molasses will be pumped through pipeline, from the sugar

factory storage tank to distillery day molasses tank. Industry will install 10,000 MT capacity

molasses tank in distillery section.


158

Mitigation Measures for Proposed Molasses Storage Tank

1. Molasses will be stored in good quality and leak proof steel tanks. Bund walls will be

constructed around the tank.

2. Volume of bund = 1.2 x volume of the highest capacity storage tank.

3. Continuous mixing of molasses will be done.

4. If there is increase in temperature beyond 300C, external cooling of tanks will be

provided. A temperature recorder will be provided to tanks with high temp. alarm system.

5. If there is leakage –

a. Leakage will be washed out, diluted and properly treated in effluent treatment plant

and then it will be recycled. Arrangements will be made for collection of leakage, also

for recycle and pumping to the effluent treatment plant.

b. Replacement of leaky gaskets and joints, it will be done strictly by following work

permit system.

i. Leakage of pipelines, welding repairs will be attended /carried out as far as

possible outside the plant. Necessary hot work permit will be issued after taking

necessary precautions and fire fighting measures for onsite hot work. It will be

only issued the concerned authority before any hot work in undertaken.

ii. Leakage through pump gland will be reduced to the minimum with the installation

of mechanical seals.

c. To attend all major leakage in tanks the following procedure will be followed.

i. Material will be transferred to other tank.

ii. The tank will be prepared for welding repairs by making sure that it is positively

isolated with blinds. Vessels will be examined by ensuring that it is free of the

chemicals and gases by air analysis before any hot work is undertaken.

iii. This will be done by skilled workers.

� Conditions for a Dust Explosion

Following conditions are necessary before a dust explosion can take place.

• Dust must be combustible.

• Dust cloud must be of explosive concentration, i.e. between lower

limits for the dusts.

• Sulphur is a flammable substance in both the solid and liquid states. The dust is

characterized by a very low ignition point of 190°C compared to other combustible dusts,

and dust clouds are readily ignited by weak frictional sparks. Dusts containing 25% or

more elemental Sulphur may be almost as explosive as pure sulphur.

• There must be sufficient oxygen in the atmosphere to support and sustain combustion.

• A source of ignition must be present.

• The dust must be fine enough to support an explosion.

• If these above conditions will be avoided then, dust explosion can be prevented.

Mitigation Measures

Explosion Prevention: Dust explosions can be prevented by ensuring that the following

conditions -

• Formation and suspensions of Sulphur dust in air will be avoided.

• Storage shed is constructed with a minimum number of horizontal surfaces to avoid dust

accumulation. The improvisations will be done in safety of sulphur storage.

• All sources of ignition have been excluded. The same will be followed all the time.

� Fire in Sulphur Storage

There is a risk of fire in Sulphur storage as ignition temperature is low 1900C. Solid and

liquid sulphur will burn to produce Sulphur dioxide gas, which is extremely irritating and

toxic. The effects of the fire hazard itself are slight.

Mitigation Measures

• Smoking & use of matches are prohibited in all areas where sulphur dust is present.

• Naked flames, lights, use of gas cutting & welding equipment are prohibited during the

normal operation of the plant.

• Repair work which involves use of flames, heat, and hand and power tools in the areas

where sulphur may be present, it will be allowed only after getting hot work permit from

the concerned authority.

7.4.4 Safety Precautions at Sulphur dioxide Plant (SO2 section)

SO2 production is very important area of sugar manufacturing operations because of

sulphitation of the sugar syrup. Flow chart of SO2 is presented at figure 7.2.

• Plant has standard SO2 production unit. Existing production capacity is adequate to cater

to the additional requirement of SO2 for increased production. Unit produces required

amount of SO2 at required rate by changing sulphur feed to unit, it is melted & charged to

burner chamber, & where in air at controlled rate is fed to burner to produce SO2. Gas at

high temp of 400 0C to 600

0C is cooled to 60

0C and sent to user unit through 100/ 150

mm piping at 1.5 to 1.7 atm pressure. This unit is designed for incite production and use

of SO2. There is practically no inventory of gas in Sulphur burner unit & inventory of gas

is in pipeline from unit to sulphiter only.

A) Calculation for Fire and Explosion (F & E ) Index

Preliminary estimate for the calculation of radius of exposure by multiplying F & EI by 0.84

is done. Assumptions are as follows:


163

Material Factor (MF) value of 16 calculated based on the basis of NF value 3 and flash point

of 55 0F. Material Factor as per standard table is 16 and calculating General Process Hazard
