PROPOSED TERMS AND REFERENCE FOR EIA STUDY 1.0 INTRODUCTION

Shree Cement Limited proposes to establish a greenfield cement plant comprising 2.4 MTPA

clinker and 4.0 MTPA cement production, 15 MW Waste Heat Recovery Power Generation

and Captive Thermal Power Plant of 25 MW near village Pedagarlapad, Mandal-Karempudi,

District- Guntur (Andhra Pradesh).. The company also proposes to develop and operate Captive

Limestone Mine of 3.6 MTPA production capacity. The mining lease area is 283.585 ha. The

limestone mines will supply limestone to the proposed cement plant. The cement plant is

located southeast of limestone mines. The proposed staff colony is located east of cement

plant. The location map of the mines, plant and colony is provided in Figure 1. Toposheet

(1:50000 scale) showing the mines boundary, cement plant boundary and staff colony boundary

and 10 km physiographical features around the project is shown in Figure 2.

TOR for the integrated project was issued vide MoEF letter no. J-11011/563/2010- IA II (I),

dated 31st Dec., 2010 (EAC meeting dated 14.12.10). The TOR was extended till 31-12-2013

vide letter dated 22-3-2013. Thereafter MOEF asked Shree Cement Limited to apply for fresh

TOR. The EIA study was conducted during the winter season period December 2010 to March

2011. The proposed fresh TOR is designed in such manner that the primary data generated this

time shall be compared with previous primary data generated for one full season. Monitoring

shall be done at same locations where done earlier. Since no industry has come up in the study

area in the past 3 years, the baseline data generated three years back is unlikely to change.

Therefore met data and ambient air quality data generated for one month (representative winter

season; like December) shall be considered adequate for EIA Purpose. .

Manufacturing Process

The cement plant will be operated on dry basis, which offers more advantages, particularly in

fuel consumption. The proposed plant comprises of rotary kiln, preheater and precalciner.

Cement manufacturing principally involves grinding and blending of raw materials in a definite

proportion - a material containing calcium oxide (such as limestone, chalk, marl) with a siliceous

material (such as clay, shale, sand) along with certain additive or corrective materials (such as

laterite) and then calcining the mixture at high temperatures in a kiln. The resulting ‘clinker’ is

cooled and then ground with gypsum to produce the finished product, Ordinary Portland Cement

(OPC). Gypsum is added to control the setting time of cement. Portland Pozzolona Cement






(PPC) will be manufactured by adding approximately 30 - 35% fly ash to clinker and gypsum

during the grinding operation.

Captive Power Plant: The CPP will be having Steam Turbine Generating Sets with adequately

sized AFBC/CFBC boilers for generating 25 MW of power. Some of the equipment and system

taken into consideration for process and environment protection are listed below:

AFBC/CFBC Boiler for steam generator.

Air cooled condenser.

SO2, O2 and NOx analyzer to monitor proper combustion of coal.

Highly sophisticated Digital Process Control system for Boiler and Turbine

Operation.

High efficiency Electrostatic Precipitator to virtually eliminate Particulate Matter

Emission from the Boiler stack.

Waste Heat Recovery Boiler: In the proposed project 15 MW power will be generated by

utilization of waste heat of the proposed cement plant. For re-utilization of this wasted heat from

the exhaust gases of the PH & AQC this Waste Heat Recovery System is used to generate the

electrical power. In this system, one Waste Heat Recovery Boiler (WHRB) will be installed near

Kiln Pre-heater. and one at AQC..

The total land required for the implementation of the project is 426.375 hectares (142.79 ha for

Cement Plant / CTPP /Colony+ 283.585 ha for Limestone Mine), out of which, 150.58 ha of the

total project area has been proposed for greenbelt. The project will generate employment for

500 persons during operation phase.
