Total plot area is 67507.15 sq. m & unit has proposed 20252.14 sq. m. area for the green belt
development/Tree plantation.
Expected project cost is Rs.272 Crores. Capital cost for EMP has been estimated around Rs. 3250 lakhs
and recurring cost provision for EPM has been estimated to be around Rs. 850 Lakhs /Year. The total fresh
water consumption from GIDC will be 637 KLD. The Unit will also use recovered water of 430 KL/day. So,
total water consumption will be 1067 KL/day (637 KL/day of fresh water + 430 KL/day of recycled water).
This waste water includes waste water coming from process, washing, and cooling tower blow down will be
837 KLD. Effluent is bifurcated into two different streams of high TDS of 480 KLD and low TDS of 357 KLD.
The high TDS effluent will directly go to sodium sulphate recovery from which 430 KLD of water will be
recovered and will be reused in process. The low TDS stream of 357 KLD directly sent to ETP. 260 KLD of
water will be used for gardening as the green belt area is 20252 sq. m. and remaining 97 KLD will be sent
to GIDC drainage, Dahej. The domestic effluent (10 KL/day) is treated in compact sewage treatment of 10
KLD capacity and the treated waste water is sent for gardening purpose. It is proposed to install one Boiler
(50 TPH) and one TFH (10 Lac Kcal/hr). Imported Coal (125 MT/day) will be used as fuel for Boiler & TFH.
Cyclone separator followed by ESP is proposed as APCM for Boiler & TFH. Unit has proposed one DG set
(4000 KVA) in which Diesel (700 ltrs/hr) will be used as fuel. Unit has proposed water scrubber for control
of VOC. The VOC will be absorbed in Water scrubber followed by carbon adsorption tower before venting
out from the different plants viz. Diphenol Plant, v Vanillin Plant, Guaiacol Plant, TBHQ Plant, MeHQ Plant,
Para Benzoquinone Plant and Storage Area. Adequate Hot gas filter will be used in plasma gasification for
control of HCl, SO2, CO,TOC, HF, NOx, Total dioxins and furans. The VOC emission in terms of handling
losses will be reduced by storing solvents in a tank and handling solvent/raw material feeding will be carried
out by pumps in a close loop. Unit has proposed general control measures like routine & regular inspection
to identify leakage, preventive maintenance and operational maintenance, provision of leak detection and
repair system (LDAR) and potable instrument for measurement of VOC etc. Power requirement of
proposed project will be 4.4 MW and will be met from Co-gen unit. In case of Co-gen unit failure the unit is
having backup power supply from Torrent Power, Dahej-Sez.
Unit has proposed Plasma gasification process for the destruction of toxic and organic hazardous waste
and waste heat recovery system. Thermal disposal of wastes shall be conducted in the plasma reactor.
Synthesis gas that will be produced as a result of this operation will be cleaned and then used as a fuel to
generate steam. The off gas that comes out of the Syn gas utilization system will meet emission standards
and will be released into atmosphere as clean gas. In the proposed waste disposal plant, Hazardous solid
and liquid waste will be treated with plasma technology at the rate of 1500 kg/hour capacity. Use of waste
heat from Plasma plant to be used for Sodium sulphate recovery plant. As unit has proposed plasma

sending the waste in case of emergency to the cement industry. Hazardous waste generated from the
manufacturing activity will be Spent Carbon from ETP (0.5 MT/day), Spent Carbon (0.5 MT/Month), Spent
catalyst (113.24 MT/Year), Off specification products (36 MT/Year), Distillation residue (797.35 MT/Year),
Waste residue containing oil (6 MT/Year), Discarded containers/Bags/Liners (3292 nos./Year) and used oil
( 0.5 MT /Month). Spent Catalyst will be disposed off at the nearby common TSDF. Discarded carboys of
Phosphoric acid and other barrels will be sold to the authorized recyclers after decontamination. Discarded
bags/liners sent for in-house gasification. Distillation residue will be sent to in-house gasification or to
Cement Industries for Co-Processing. Used oil will be sold only to the registered recyclers.
Observations/Discussions:
Technical presentation during the meeting included the Point wise ToR compliance. The baseline
environmental quality has been assessed for various components of the environment viz. air, noise, water,
biological and socioeconomic The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study area of
10 km radial distance from project site for the period March 2015 to May 2015. Ambient Air Quality
monitoring was carried out for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, VOC, CO, TOC and HF at eight locations,
including the project site. During the study period the value of PM10 at monitored locations is ranged
between 85-63 μg/m3 while the value PM2.5 fluctuates in the range of 44-26 μg/m3. The value of SO2 and NOx were observed to be in the range of 21-8 μg/m3 and27-15 μg/m3 respectively. The value of HCl and
HF were found Below Detectable Limit. The value of CO (Carbon Monoxide) was found in the range of 0.8-
0.5 mg/Nm3. The value of TOC (Total Organic Carbon) was found in the range of 1-0.4 mg/Nm3. The value
of VOC at monitored locations is ranged between 1- 0.5 ppm. The average concentration of PM2.5, SO2
and NOx are within prescribed limit at all locations. These concentrations at all AAQM locations were
primarily caused by local phenomena including vehicular movement and natural dusting due to human
activities and wind movement. From the dispersion modeling studies conducted, it was observed that the
maximum ground level concentration occurs in the North East direction. The maximum incremental
increase in concentration for SO2, NOx and PM is 3.92 μg/m3, 1.73 μg/m3 and 3.112 μg/m3 respectively at a distance of about 1 km in the North East direction . Whereas, the maximum incremental increase in
concentration for CO is 0.48 μg/m3 at a distance of about 1 km in the North-East direction. The incremental
Ground Level Concentration (GLC) has been computed using ISCST – 3 model. From the dispersion
modeling studies conducted, it was observed that the maximum ground level concentration occurs in the
North East direction. The maximum incremental increase in concentration for SO2, NOx and PM is 3.92
μg/m3 , 1.73 μg/m3 and 3.112 μg/m3 respectively at a distance of about 1 km in the North East direction .
Whereas, the maximum incremental increase in concentration for CO is 0.48 μg/m3 at a distance of about 1 km in the North-East direction. During the meeting Committee observed that there is a discrepancy in
production list, water consumption, waste water generation & hazardous waste generation details submitted
in Form-1 & PFR and EIA report. After detailed deliberations the Committee sought following additional
information for further consideration of the proposal:
1. Revised Form-1 & PFR considering changes made as per EIA report and all relevant details. (Give
specific details in Tabular format for Air, Water & Hazardous waste).
2. Detailed study report considering Percolation rate of the land available for gardening & plantation.
Ensure that land is suitable for utilization of treated effluent for plantation & gardening.
3. Current status of stay order from Hon’ble Gujarat High Court against the implementation of the NABET accreditation or copy of Certificate of accreditation issued by the NABET, QCI to the environmental
consultant.

Observations/Discussions:
Technical presentation during the meeting included the Point wise ToR compliance. The baseline
environmental quality has been assessed for various components of the environment viz. air, noise, water,
biological and socioeconomic The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study area of 5
km radial distance from project site for the period December 2014 to February 2015. Ambient Air Quality
monitoring was carried out for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, VOC, CL2 and HBr at seven locations,
including the project site. During the study period the value of PM10 at monitored locations is ranged
between164-67μg/m3 while the value PM2.5 fluctuates in the range of 69-27μg/m3. The value of SO2 and NOx were observed to be in the range of 30.2-7.1μg/m3 and 45.1-11.3μg/m3 respectively. The values of
HCl and Cl2 were found Below Detectable Limit. The value of VOC at monitored locations isranged
between 0.7- 0.3 ppm. The average concentration of PM2.5, SO2 and NOx are within prescribed limit at all
locations. Only PM 10, concentration is higher side due to construction of new 6 lane highway and regular
traffic of heavy trucks on the rough roads. These concentrations at all AAQM locations were primarily
caused by local phenomena including vehicular movement and natural dusting due to human activities and
wind movement. The incremental Ground Level Concentration (GLC) has been computed using ISCST – 3
model. From the dispersion modeling studies conducted, it was observed that the maximum ground level
concentration occurs in the South west direction. The maximum incremental increase in concentration for
PM, NOx and SO2 is 1.532 μg/m3, 0.739 μg/m3 and 1.783 μg/m3 respectively at a distance of about 1 km in the South west direction. Whereas, the maximum incremental increase in concentration for HBr & Br2 is
0.118 μg/m3 & 0.079 μg/m3 respectively in the premises itself. The resultant concentrations are within the
NAAQS. During the meeting, Committee was not convinced about the effluent concentration and its stage
wise reduction. Unit has proposed ETP comprises of primary ETP followed by Advanced Oxidation
(Hydrodynamic Cavitation). The treatment methodology was discussed in detail. and PP was asked to
submit details of treatment technology and its performance assurance. Committee noted that PP has not
shown existing scenario in the Form-1 & PFR submitted for TOR. Committee observed that there is a
discrepancy in water consumption and waste water generation details submitted in Form-1-PFR and EIA

Observations & Discussions:
Technical presentation made during the meeting by project proponent. During the meeting, considering that
Dhandhuka GIDC Estate is basically not a chemical estate where drainage facilities, common
environmental infrastructural facilities and effluent disposal facilities exist, the committee was of the view
that such Dyes and Resin manufacturing unit having remarkable quantity of industrial effluent generation
should not be allowed in Dhandhuka estate. Committee noted that there is a generation of spent Sulphuric
acid and spent HCl from manufacturing process of proposed products. On asking about type of industries
located in Dhandhuka GIDC, PP informed that the units located in GIDC are non-chemical small units
which are engaged in dairy products and other non chemical products. During the meeting, the project

Page 60 of 64
16/01/2016 with the following point: (1) To verify the treatability of effluent having high COD and APCM to
be installed.
Project proponent vide their letter dated 03/02/2016, submitted the reply as below: (1) Waste water
treatability justification is as under: (A) Waste water generated from the Methyl Paraben: Waste water
generated from the methayl paraben (630 liter/ day) collect in collection tank which contain 96000 mg/l
COD in which approx 35 to 45 kg methanol and 5 to 10 kg PHBA remain present in waste water. In solvent
stripper 95 % (42 kg) methanol will be recover (by Vaccume distillation) and resue in the next batch which
solvent residue (2 to 3 kg) will send to next treatment of ETP. SO the COD value will be drastically reduced
from 96000 mg/l to 36666 mg/l. 36666 mg/l COD is present due to PHBA (Approx 5 to 10 kg) remain
present in the waste water coming from Solvent stripper. Further it will be given neutralization treatment
and separate solid waste generated from the treatment will be stored in solid hazardous waste room.
Remaining 20800 mg/l COD will remain due to traces of PHBA (3 to 6 kg) present in waste water. It will be
treated by Oxidation treatment. Fentone reagent (H2O2 and FeSO4.7H2O) will be added for oxidation
treatment which oxidised the PHBA present in waste water with the help of aeration system. Finally treated
effluent contain near about 100 mg/l COD which will be evaporate in closed evaporator and condensed
water will be reuse in the the industrial purpose. (B) Waste water generated from the Propyl Paraben:
Waste water generated from the Propyl paraben (484 liter/ day) collect in collection tank which contain
92000 mg/l COD in which approx 20 to 25 kg N-Propanol and 4 to 8 kg PHBA remain present in waste
water. In solvent stripper 95 % (23 kg) N- Propanol will be recover (by Vaccum distillation) and resue in the
next batch which solvent residue (2 to 3 kg) will send to next treatment of ETP. SO the COD value will be
drastically reduce from 92000 mg/l to 32000 mg/l. 32000 mg/l COD is present due to PHBA (Approx 5 to 10
kg) remain present in the waste water coming from Solvent stripper. Further it will be given neutralization
treatment and separate solid waste generated from the treatment will be stored in solid hazardous waste
room. Remaining 25000 mg/l COD will remain due to traces of PHBA (4 to 8 kg) present in waste water. It
will be treated by Oxidation treatment. Fentone reagent (H2O2 and FeSO4.7H2O) will be added for
oxidation treatment which oxidised the PHBA present in waste water with the help of aeration system.
Finally treated effluent contain near about 100 mg/l COD which will be evaporate in closed evaporator and
condensed water will be reused in the industrial purpose. Total recycle water will be 0.650 KL/day. Total
water consumption will be 5.89 KL/day. Hence, Fresh water requirement will be 5.24 KL/day.(2) Regarding
Air pollution control system; they will use only 500 Kg/hr steam boiler. Briquettes (White Coal) to the tune of
0.85 MT/day will be used as a fuel. Multi cyclone dust control system will be provided as APCM. They have
also proposed economizer to reduce fuel consumption in Boiler. There is no any process gas emission and
fugitive emission from the proposed project. PP has submitted detailed treatability report.
The said reply was considered by the committee in the meeting of the SEAC held on 24/02/2016. During
the meeting, committee noted that PP has submitted reply of point raised by SEIAA. The committee was
satisfied with the clarification given by the project proponent and decided to forward the proposal to SEIAA
for the grant of environment clearance by replacing the Condition No. 5 as below and with rest of conditions
same as prescribed earlier in the recommendation letter dated 02/01/2016:
5. Water consumption shall not exceed 5.89 KL/day. Unit shall recycle 0.65 KL/day of recovered water.
Hence, fresh water requirement for the project shall be 5.24 KL/Day and it shall be sourced through
