Semi Annual Monitoring Report For Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power

Plant Project (CCPP)

(Khalishpur, Khulna)

Period: Semi-Annual (July-December, 2018)

Monitoring: Ambient Air, Water & Noise Quality

Executive Summery

Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant

Project is identified by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to proper utilization of Energy.

The executing Agency of the project is the Ministry North-West Power Generation Co. Ltd. and

the implementing Agency is the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR).

Financial assistance is given by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the Tranch 1 of

Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program.

At present, one 150MW Dual Fuel Peaking Power Plant has been established beside Khulna

Power Station (KPS) complex by NWPGCL. Now, NWPGCL intends to add one 75MW Steam

Plant using exhaust gas from 150MW dual fuel power plant to convert this open cycle power

plant into combined cycle power plant to be used as base load power station with the financial

assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB). In order to convert this peaking power plant

into combined cycle power plant, it has been proposed to add Heat Recovery Steam Generator,

Steam Turbine, 75MW Generator, Power transformer, cooling system, 45 m long Stack etc. with

the peaking power plant to be located in the existing rental power plant area.

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP) are

the main practical tools employed during the construction phase to provide the environmental

protection measures. The purpose of the environmental management plan is to set out clearly the

required mitigation measures and allocate responsibility for each, and to provide additional

information to assist in planning and implementing the various activities.

The Impacts and mitigation for this project fall into two distinct categories, based on the phase in

which the mitigation will be provided and the parties who will take necessary action. For this

reason the EMP as well as EMoP for this project is divided into two parts. These are as follows:

a) Construction Phase EMP

b) Operation Phase EMP

This report mainly addressed relevant environmental issues and their mitigation measures for the

construction stage of the Project as mentioned in the following item. Summary of the

Environmental compliance is during the period of, July to December, 2018.

Environmental Monitoring program Ongoing As per EIA report

1.0 Introduction

1.1 Brief Project Description

Power System Expansion and Efficiency Improvement Investment Program is intended to

finance a series of investments via Multi-tranche Financing Facility (MFF) of Asian

Development Bank (ADB). Tranche 1 consist of several developments projects in

Generation, Transmission and Distribution sectors, including Upgradation of Khulna 150

MW Peaking Power Plant to 225MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project.

Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225 MW Combined Cycle Power

Plant Project is identified by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to proper utilization of

Energy and reduce the exhaust temperature to release the atmosphere. The executing

Agency of the project is the North-West Power Generation Co. Ltd. and the implementing

Agency is Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources (MoPEMR).

Upgradation of Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant to 225MW Combined Cycle

Power Plant has been established in the same Khulna 150 MW Peaking Power Plant area

and Agreeko 40MW Rental Power Plant area by adding 75MW steam plant with the

Khulna150MW Peaking Power Plant. The Khulna 150MW Peaking Power Plant is already

constructed within the existing Goalpara (Khulna Power Station) complex of BPDB, about

5 KM West of Khulna city. In Goalpara, there are already several power plants e.g. 110

MW Steam, 60 MW Steam, a 110 MW Independent Power Plant (IPP), KPCL and 40MW

Rental Power Plant. The major components of the plant consisted of a Simple Cycle Gas

Turbine with Generator, Control Room, 132/11kV Power Transformer, 132 KV Switch

yard, Liquid Fuel System, Natural Gas Fuel System, Lubricating System, Cooling System,

Water Treatment Plant, Effluent Treatment Plant and other associated accessories. The

Gas Turbine is initially operate with High Speed Diesel and then with natural gas if

natural gas will be available. In order to convert this peaking power plant into combined

cycle power plant, it has been proposed to add Heat Recovery Steam Generator, Steam

Turbine, 75MW Generator, Power transformer, cooling system, 45 m long stack etc. with

the peaking power plant to be located in the existing rental power plant area.

5.0 Safeguards Monitoring Results and Unanticipated Impacts

Environmental Monitoring Schedule

The Individual environmental monitoring measures are identified in the EIA and in the

EMP of EIA report and relate primarily to those activities in which there are measurable

environmental emissions (air quality, water quality and noise, etc). These activities are

drawn together in the Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMoP), which describes in detail

the purpose of each monitoring activity and the methodology to be employed (including

the approach, parameters to be measured, survey locations, frequency and other

information).

Environmental Monitoring Plan for Operation Phase of upgradation Khulna 150 MW PPP

to 225 MW CCPP is given below:

6.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

The environmental monitoring report consists of Semiannually environmental monitoring

reporting based on identified parameters in EIA during construction phase. But this

power plant already produced power to national grid from 26 June, 2016. But project

period is up to December, 2018. During construction activities all of the mitigation

measures have been taken following ADB Environmental Safeguard Policy 2009,

IFC/World Bank Thermal Power Plant Guideline 2008 and DoE, Bangladesh guideline

and suggestive and recommended measures in the EIA. Finally it can be concluded that

the project has no detrimental impact for short period on the environment in terms of

ambient air, ambient noise and water during the period from July to December, 2018.
