PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 TYPE OF PROJECT


M/s. ROAQ Chemicals Pvt.Ltd are already engaged in manufacturing of organic Pharmaceutical at plot
41/B-5,B-6 GIDC Estate, Behind Ashok organic , Nandesari, Dist. Vadodara, Gujarat. The Unit is having
valid Consolidated Consent & Authorization (CC&A) from Gujarat Pollution Control Board vide CC&A
order no.: AWH-68944 with validity up to 11/01/2020 for manufacturing of Organic pharmaceutical. As
per the EIA Notification, September 2006, the project falls under category 5(f) of the schedule.
2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT
Demand & supply gap is huge for the export market since products are generic in nature. Inventors of
generic products stop manufacturing & they prefer to import from Indian market. Demand for an organic
pharmaceuticalsareincreasing at the rate of almost 28- 30 % during last three years. During the year 2017,
pharmaceutical industry growth is expected to remain 21% & in terms of value to reach US $ 17 Billion.
Average export of organic pharmaceuticalsfrom India remains more than 50%. The products are highly
influenced by the market demand. In Pharma industries, Introduction of newer molecules with better
performance and less side effects are introduced from time to time and hence it is essential for the project
proponent to put up a multi-product facility so that the changing demand is met and can have a positive
impact over lives globally. The products vary across therapeutic segments asAnti-Epileptic, Anti
Convulsant, Anti-Hypertensive, Anti Parkisonion and R&D products have been considered. The complete
environmental assessment has been done considering the worst case scenario and to ensure minimal
impact on environment.
2.3 PRODUCTS AND RAW MATERIAL DETAILS

2.6 POLLUTION POTENTIAL SCENARIO
The details of pollution generation in terms of effluent generation, sewage generation, flue gas emission,
process emission and hazardous waste generation are covered in this section.
2.6.1 EFFLUENT AND SEWAGE GENERATION
As per consent
As per consent, the industrial effluent generation is 1.2 KLD and sewage generation is 0.4 KLD. Existing
effluent is treated in ETP having primary treatment. Treated water is sent to CETP.
Proposed scenario
Due to proposed expansion, additional total industrial effluent generation will be 33 KLD. Hence, after
expansion total industrial effluent generation will be 34.2 KLD (1.2 KLD existing + 33 KLD proposed).
Due to proposed expansion, additional sewage generation will be 1 KLD. Hence, after expansion sewage
generation will be 1.4 KLD (0.4 KLD + 1 KLD). Existing and proposed effluent will be treated in unit’s
own proposed ETP consisting of hydrodynamic cavitation treatment and then sent to CETP. Wastewater
discharge letter is attached as an Annexure-VI.
The details of waste water generation and qualitative and quantitative analysis of each waste stream
aregiven in following Table no.2.14 and Table no. 2.15. The proposed water balance diagram is shown in

The scrubbing system consists of primary scrubber (packed column absorber) and secondary scrubber
(packed column absorber) an exhaust blower and scrubbing media circulation via pumps. The vapors
from the process enter the primary scrubber where they are absorbed and converted to liquor ammonia
which will be recycled back to process. The unabsorbed vapors mainly ammonia then enter to the
secondary acid scrubber and the solution which is coming from scrubber is subjected to Effluent treatment
plant completely. Thus, the air leaving from the Secondary Scrubber is clean. The details of scrubber
system and features of scrubber system are given below in Table no. 2.20 and Table no. 2.21.

CHAPTER -3

BASELINE ENVIRONMENT STATUS


3.1 INTRODUCTION
It is essential to monitor the environment quality prevailing in the surrounding area before
implementation of the proposed project for assessing the environmental impacts from proposed project.
The Environment status within the study area could be used for identification of significant
environmental issues to be addressed in the impact assessment study.

The impact from an existing industrial project on its surrounding environment are mainly regulated by

 The nature of the pollutants,


 Their quantities discharged to the environment,
 Existing environment quality
 Assimilative capacity of the surrounding environment and
 Topography and terrain of the project site.
In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is necessary to gather information on
existing environmental quality relating to various components of the environment.

Primary data were collected for baseline collection. Secondary data were also gathered for remaining
information like meteorological data, Socio-economic data, Ecological data and Land use data. For the
purpose of collection of primary data, study area was selected within 5 km radius taking as project site
as a center which also included towns and villages.

The main factor of local, sub-regional and regional meteorology that influence the air quality in area of
the proposed project are diurnal and seasonal wind pattern and wind direction, humidity ,temperature
etc.

The company is proposing manufacturing plant of new products in the well-developed chemical industrial
state of GIDC, Nandesari, and Dist: Vadodara. Apart from having the benefits of common effluent
treatment plant, common incinerator and common solid waste disposal facility, the estate is well
connected by Road, Rail & Air.
The general locational characteristics and important landmarks in a 5 km radius circle is discussed in table
no. 3.1

2017.Monitoring details like location, monitoring date, concentration of pollutants are attached as
Annexure-XI. The frequency of monitoring was twice in a week for a period of 12 weeks to assess the
existing the sub regional air quality status. All the sampling locations were monitored for PM2.5, PM10,
SO2, NOx, NH3 and VOC on 24 hr basis to enable the comparison with ambient air quality standards
prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Based on the data obtained through ambient air quality survey statement showing maximum, minimum
average concentration values of different monitoring location in the study area have been computed and
presented at Table no.3.4.

*BDL-Below Detectable Limit (Detectable unit of HCl is 1ppm and Cl2 is 1 ppm)
Based on data obtained, it could be stated that, during the study period the value of PM10 at monitored
locations is ranged between 85-52 μg/m3 while the value PM2.5 fluctuates in the range of 41-20 μg/m3.
The value of SO2 and NOx were observed to be in the range of 26-5 μg/m3 and 33-10 μg/m3 respectively.
The values of NH3 were found Below Detectable Limit. The value of VOC at monitored locations is
ranged between 0.7- 0.3 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.

3.6 SOIL
3.6.1 BASELINE DATA
Description of soil environment has become vital particularly when the treated effluent is to be
discharge on land for disposal or treatment. The soil environment is usually described by determining
the physical and chemical characteristics of soil samples collected from site with the help of
auger/spade. The composite soil sample was collected from project site and the villages within 5 km
radius. The samples were collected to determine physical and chemical characteristic of soil. The selected
soil sampling locations are given in Table no. 3.10 and shown in Figure no. 3.9. The results are given in
Table no. 3.11.

3.7 LAND USE PATTERNS

Land use, in general, reflects the human beings activities on land, whereas the word land cover indicates the
vegetation, agricultural and artificial man made structures covering the land surfaces. Identification and
periodic surveillance of land uses and vegetation covers, in the vicinity of any developmental activityis
one of the most important components for a comprehensive environmental impact assessment, which
would help to determine the impact of the project development activity on the land use pattern. To
determine the baseline land use pattern, at and around the project site.
3.7.1 AREA UNDERDIFFERENT LAND USE WITH TOWNS AND VILLAGE LOCATIONS
The land use classification within a distance of 10 kilometers from the project location and the areas
falling under the respective classifications are as given in Table3.12.

3.7.1 GEOLOGY

The Geological area is covered by main land quaternary deposits and designated as the Gujarat Alluvium
in Geological literature. The Quaternary sediments occupied structural depression related to the Mahi &
Cambay grabens and constitutes thick layer sequence of sediments of fluvial marine and Aeolian origin.
The alternating phases of humid and arid climate which in turn influences the fluvial and Aeolian regimes
are reflected in the mode of occurrence, extent, lithology, soil type structure & texture of the successive
horizons of the sediments. The area under investigation is covered by thick alluvial deposits formed by
river Mahi comprising of alternate layers of hard, sticky clay and fine to medium grained sand mixed with
kankar. These Quaternary alluvium deposits of recent to sub recent age lie unconformably over the
Tertiary sediments consisting mainly of blue shale. The Tertiary sediments are of marine deposition in
nature, hence the ground water in this formation is found to be saline. The existence of Tertiary
formations in the area shows the occurrence of major tectonic activities during the past.

3.7.2 SEISMICITY

The Gujarat state can be divided broadly into four tectonic units

(i) The Saurashtra-Deccan Trap Plateau in the west.


(ii) The Kutch-Ahmedabad-Surat belt in the centre.
(iii) The Banas Kantha-Sabar Kantha-Panch Mahals metamorphic igneous terrain in the northeast
and the Ambadunagar-Rajpipla-Songadh Deccan Trap Plateau in the south - east
(iv) The zone of rift systems coinciding with the course of the Narmada and the Tapi rivers in the
south - east.

The project area falls under zone 3 in the National Zoning Atlas as shown in Fig. No. 3.11 and under
zone of low hazard as per the zoning map of Gujarat shown in Figure No. 3.12.

3.8.2 FLORA

The flora or the vegetation in the region is chiefly or dry deciduous type of species, which includes
dominance of acacia nilotia ssp. Indica or babul, Azadirachtaindica or Neem and Prosopis cineraria or
samadi. The vegetation based on the habitat can be classified into three broad categories such as (1)
Ravine or river bed vegetation, (2) Agricultural fields with hedges including wild tree species and (3)
small vegetation patches of few three species compositions around lakes and ponds. Also in some area the
plantation activities were also carried out of Eucalyptus and also of ailanthus excels.

CHAPTER -4
IDENTIFICATION & ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT

4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACT


This chapter deals with the assessment of project impacts on environment. Mitigative measures are
suggested to minimize the likely negative impacts.
The network method (Cause - effect) was adopted to identify potential impact of the proposed activity. It
includes step wise study of relationship between an activity and its environmental parameters. This
method involves in the “Road Map” type of approach to the identification of second and third order effect.
The basic idea is to account for the project activity and identify the type of impact that could initially
occur followed by the identification of secondary and tertiary impact.
The project will have impacts of varying magnitude on different environmental components. These
impacts could be categorized as-
 Primary impacts, i.e. impacts which occur as a direct result of the project activities.
 Secondary and tertiary impacts, i.e. impacts that occur as a result of primary impacts.
The type of identified potential impacts on various environmental components i.e. Air, Noise, Water and
Land are presented in Figure 4.1 to Figure 4.6.

4.2 PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT OF IMPACT


The predication and assessment of impact on the environmental parameters have been carried out. For
assessing the impact, the baseline data of environmental status were considered. The change in the
environmental parameters due to manufacturing activities of the industry has been superimposed on the
status data.
4.2.1 WATER ENVIRONMENT
4.2.1.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS
During construction phase, water will be required for construction of structures, sprinkling for dust
suppression. The raw water for the various purposes will be suppliedby GIDC.

There will no impact on surrounding ground water quality and quantity during construction phase.
4.2.1.2 OPERATIONAL PHASE IMPACTS
The unit has CCA order no.AWH-68944 for manufacturing of organic pharmaceuticals. As per CCA, the unit
is using 4.4 KL/Day fresh water from GIDC for domestic and industrial purposes. Due to proposed expansion
the fresh water requirements for the industrial and domestic purpose will be 45.4 KL/Day which will be met
by GIDC water supply scheme. There will be no extraction of ground water, so that no direct impact is found
on ground water availability and quality in nearby surrounding area.
As per CCA, industrial effluent generation is 1.2 KL/Day and sewage generation is 0.4KL/Day. The proposed
project will lead to waste water generation of 35.6 KL/Day from different sources i.e. process, washing, boiler,
cooling, and domestic at full production capacity.
Mitigative Measures
The total sewage generation after proposed expansion is 1.4 KL/Day. The sewage is sent to soak pit. If
any overflow of soak pit happens, it will be connected to ETP. The entire waste water generated will be
treated in unit’s own Effluent Treatment Plant and treated effluent will be sent to CETP, Nandesari.
Effluent generation will be 34.2 KL/Day. So, total waste water generation will be 35.6 KL/Day.
The unit has proposed new ETP having hydrodynamic cavitation treatment, the effluent will be checked
for the pH and it will be neutralized with lime and coagulating agents will be added. The clean effluent
will be sent to CETP, Nandesari for further treatment. In addition, proper care will be taken to prevent any
spillage/leakage. Proper storage facility will be provided for raw material and hazardous waste. Hence
there will be no impact on ground water and surface water quality.

EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

4.2.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT


4.2.2.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS
Dust will be generated during excavation and hauling operation and vehicle transportation on unpaved
tracks at the site. Other exhaust gases like NOx, SO2, VOC and HC may be also slightly released into the
local ambient air due to vehicular traffic movement. Thus, the local ambient air quality may be
temporarily affected. It will be confined within the project boundary and expected to be negligible outside
the plant boundaries.
Mitigative Measures
Water sprinkling and provision of enclosures will allow the particles to settle down prior to discharge.
There will be provision of enclosures to construction area to allow the particles to settle down prior to
discharge.
4.2.2.2 OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS
As per CCA order no.AWH-68944, there is flue gas emission (PM, SO2 and NOx) from one boiler. There
is no generation from the manufacturing process as well as any ancillary industrial process.
The proposed expansion project will result flue gas emission, process emission andfugitive emission. Flue
gas emission will be from two boilers of 1 TPH and one thermo pack of 2 Lakh kcal.Natural gas will be
used as fuel in two boilers and Thermo pack. Therewill be emission of NH3from reactor vent. There will
be fugitiveemission of VOC during material handling, transferring and at storagearea.
Mitigative Measure
The unit will also provide adequate stack height for proposed two stacks of boilers and one stack of
thermo pack.
The NH3 will be absorbed in water scrubber followed by acid scrubber before venting out to achieve
GPCB norms. Adequate stack height will further help in dispersion of pollutants. Closed feeding and
transferring system, proper local or exhaust ventilation and more solvent recovery efficiency will control
fugitive emission. The air quality impact of source is evaluated by use of model. The model stimulates the
relationship between air pollutants emission, meteorology and air chemistry, all of which are determined
by formulating impact scenario.
Modeling Details
The dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is a function of several meteorological parameters like
temperature, wind speed and direction, mixing depths, inversion level etc. The air quality impacts of
source or collection of sources is evaluated by use of models. The model stimulates the relationship

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 4.9


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

between air pollutants emission, meteorology and air chemistry, all of which are determined by
formulating impact scenario. Estimation of emissions from the plant has been made by Industrial Source
Complex – Short Term (ISC-ST3) model developed by United States Environment Protection Agency
(USEPA). ISC-ST is based on a modified steady state Gaussian Plume equation, and it has been
recommended for use in EIA studies by Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) in EIA manual.

pattern, fishers and aquatic life, forest land species diversity are briefly summarized below:

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 4.18


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

4.2.5.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS


The project site is located within the GIDC .The project site is devoid of trees; it will not harbor any
important flora. There will be no impact on natural vegetation during construction. Since, the project is
established on a non-agriculture land, it will not to alter the crop production of the area. The project site is
at a far distance from the forest land, wild life sanctuaries and national parks. Hence, no adverse impact
on this account is anticipated.
4.2.5.2 OPERATIONAL PHASE IMPACTS
The study area does not have any type of forest and endangered fauna within 5 km area. However, all the
environmental and related issues have been properly addressed with its impacts and Mitigative measures
in the proposed project. There will not be any major impact on the terrestrial ecology of the project site
due to proposed project.
Mitigative Measures
 The green belt will be developed by unit having different species of flora, which will lead to
beneficial impact on ecological environment.
 There will be necessary environmental protection measures which have been planned under EMP
i.e. air pollution control system designed to take care of release of the gaseous pollutants like PM,
SO2, NOx, and NH3.
 The waste water generation from process will be treated in ETP. The unit has proposed new ETP
with hydro cavitation technology. The treated effluent will be sent to CETP, Nandesari for further
treatment. In addition, proper care will be taken to prevent any spillage/leakage. Proper storage
facility will be provided for raw material and hazardous waste. Hence there will be no impact on
ground water and surface water quality.
 Raw material and hazardous waste will be transported by road and will be stored in plant
premises.
 The project proponent shall consider all the safety measures in planning, designing and operation
of the plant as per standard practices.
 Hence, no adverse impact on this account is anticipated.
4.2.6 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES
4.2.6.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS & OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS
The plant is located in a GIDC, Nandesari, Gujarat having all essential facilities such as water, power,
post and telecommunication. There is a well laid down broad roads already existing in GIDC, Nandesari.
There will be 5-10 trucks per day for transportation of raw material and finished good products. The

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 4.19


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

transportation facilities will also expect to improve due to increase in the movement of workers and raw
material and finished products. This will have almost negligible impact on road network.
Total Power requirement of proposed expansion project is 100 HP will be fulfilled from MGVCL.
MGVCL is having large amount of electricity production thus due to extra consumption of electricity no
adverse impact of electricity supply is predicted.
The fresh water requirement for domestic and industrial purpose is met through GIDC water supply. The
infrastructure services e.g. roads, post and telegraph, communication, medical facilities, education;
housing will be improved in surrounding area.
4.2.7 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT
4.2.7.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS
4.2.7.1.1 POPULATION
 During the peak construction phase, construction manpower including construction workers will
be employed.
 However, to the maximum extent possible, construction workers will be employed from within the
study area.
 Since the construction phase of this project will be for short time period, the socio-economic
impact due to construction of this project is going to be temporary.
 Considering the above-mentioned factors, the construction phase of the project will have minor
impact on population in the study area.
4.2. 7.1.2 EMPLOYMENT
 Around25 workers will be employed in the construction work. This will increase construction
employment in the study area although temporality. Hence, the proposed project will have minor
impact on employment in construction phase.
4.2.7.1.3 TRANSPORTATION
 For transportation of construction material, the existing road infrastructure is adequate.
 Moreover, as the construction phase for the proposed project will be few months, the impact
would be temporary.

4.2.7.2 OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS


4.2.7.2.1 POPULATION
In the operational phase, about 30 workers will be employed for the proposed project. This
number of employee is very small compared to the total population of the study area. Also as a
social impact mitigation measure, Unit will endeavor to employ most of these people from within

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 4.20


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

the study area at worker level, subject to availability of suitable manpower in the area. So the
proposed project in its operational stage is not expected to directly affect the total number or
composition of population in the study area significantly. However the population of the study
area is expected to increase marginally due to migration of persons from outside of the study area.
4.2.7.2.2 EMPLOYMENT
All efforts will be made to employ local people as far as possible. In addition, employment will be
generated by the secondary supporting activities e.g. transportation, communication, boarding,
daily utility services.
4.2.7.2.3 TRANSPORTATION
Because of the good network of transportation facilities in the study area, the additional truck
traffic generated during the operational phase is not expected to bring any considerable load to the
existing transportation system.
4.2.7.2.4 IMPACT DUE TO FIRE ACCIDENT
The project design and development has been planned with care and all provisions have been
made for the safety and security of the property as well as the personnel.
4.2.7.2.5 IMPACT ON PUBLIC HEALTH
The discharge of waste materials (gaseous emission and solid wastes) from the project can have
some adverse impact on public health in the surrounding area, if appropriate treatment procedures
are not followed.
4.2.7.2.6 ACCIDENT HAZARD AND SAFETY
During operational phase accident / hazards will be greatly minimized and ensure further safety of
the local people. In addition, by adopting mitigation measures it will ensure high safety standards.
Mitigative Measure
 Provision of adequate APC and maintains of APC will prevent any accidental emission from
stacks and reduce risk to the health of the people in the vicinity of the project.

Conclusion:
The source of water will be GIDC water supply schemethere will be no extraction of ground water. The
entire waste water generated is treated in unit’s own Effluent Treatment Plant and treated effluent is send
to CETP, Nandesari.Even though after provision of APCM, there will be negligible increase in ground
level concentration of SO2, NOx, PM, and NH3 in ambient air due to construction and operational
activities of proposed project.
Construction activities will disturb soil profile but impact will be insignificant. The unit will take
adequate measure for storage, handling and disposal hazardous waste. Hence, there will be no significant
adverse impact on land environment.
Engineering control, use of PPE, restriction of construction activity during 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and green
belt will reduce impact of noise pollution due to construction work, vehicular movement and noise
generating equipment. There will be minor increase in ambient noise level and impact will be
insignificant.

The project site is at a far distance from the forest land, wild life sanctuaries and national parks. The unit
is located in Nandesari, Gujarat. There will be not significant impact on crops & vegetation as the
proposed APCM will take care of flue gas emission and process emission.

This will be a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic environment as increase in demand for
essential utilities and employment during both construction and operational phase.
This will be a beneficial impact on the local infrastructure services e.g. roads, post and telegraph,
communication, medical facilities, education, housing will be improved in surrounding area.

CHAPTER -5
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need to take place to characterize
and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental monitoring is used in the preparation of
environmental impact assessments, as well as in many circumstances in which human activities carry a
risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring strategies and programmed have
reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the current status of an environment
and Prediction of the impact of future development and/or alteration in the operation and design of
existing installations. Environmental Monitoring Network is operation phase of the project for
monitoring of various environmental parameters like air, water, noise, soil etc.
A well-defined environmental monitoring programme would be employed with trained and qualified

8.4.2. (B) WATERENVIRONMENT
The total water consumption of the unit will be 42.4 KL/Day. The fresh water consumption from GIDC
will be 42.4KL/day. Water required for the proposed expansion of project will be fulfilled by GIDC water
supply system.
Total waste water generation after proposed expansion will be 35.6 KL/Day. This waste water includes
waste water coming from process, washing, boiler blow down, and cooling tower blow down and
overflow from septic tank. Unit will be having Effluent Treatment Plant consists of collection tank,
equalization tank, and neutralization tank and hydro dynamic cavitation tank.
Pumps and reactors will be having mechanical seal, so there will be no leakages. The unit will provide
connection system for possibility of leakages. Leakages will be collected in a small pit which will carry
the leakages to effluent plant.
Possible spillages will be from vessel washing, transfer of liquids, to avoid the spillage fixed pipeline will
be provided. Vessel washing will be collected to effluent treatment plant. The unit will provide dedicated
area made with RCC and HDPE lining so that the washing can be directly sent to ETP plant.
The sewage of 1.4 KL/Day will be sent to septic tank/soak pit and the overflow will be send to ETP. The
description of effluent treatment process is given as under.
8.4.2.(B).1 DETAILS OF EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT
EXISTING EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT
The effluent of 1.2 KLD is treated in unit’s own effluent treatment plant consisting of neutralization and
equalization and then it is passed through filter press and the treated effluent is sent to CETP.
PROPOSED EFFLUENT TREATMENT PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The effluent from industry is segregated in two different streams mainly low COD and High COD
streams. Low COD streams from boiler blow down and cooling tower are treated in primary treatment to
achieve discharge norms. Whereas High COD stream coming from washing and process is subjected to
primary treatment followed by hydrodynamic cavitation treatment.
THEORY OF HYDRODYNAMIC CAVITATION
Hydrodynamic cavitation describes the bubble generation, bubble implosion and process of vaporization,
which occurs in a flowing liquid as a result of a decrease and subsequent increase in pressure. In pipe

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 8.5


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

systems, cavitation typically occurs either as the result of an increase in the kinetic energy (through an
area constriction).
The process of bubble generation, and the subsequent growth and collapse of the cavitation bubbles,
results in very high energy densities and in very high temperatures and pressures at the surface of the
bubbles for a very short time. The overall liquid medium environment, therefore, remains at ambient
conditions. Controlled cavitation can be used to enhance chemical reactions or propagate certain
unexpected reactions because free radicals are generated in the process due to disassociation of vapors
trapped in the cavitating bubbles.
Orifices and venturi are reported to be widely used for generating cavitation. A venturi has an inherent
advantage over an orifice because of its smooth converging and diverging sections, such that that it can
generate a higher velocity at the throat for a given pressure drop across it.
This is also used in the mineralization of bio-refractory compounds which otherwise would need
extremely high temperature and pressure conditions since free radicals are generated in the process due to
the dissociation of vapors trapped in the cavitating bubbles, which results in either the intensification of
the chemical reaction or may even result in the propagation of certain reactions not possible under
otherwise ambient conditions.
Hydrodynamic cavitation can also improve some industrial processes. For instance, cavitated corn slurry
show higher yields in ethanolproduction compared to uncavitated corn slurry in dry milling facilities.
Consider the case of a Venturi as shown in Figure above. At low flow rate, water is everywhere free of
cavitation. Velocity is maximum in the section of minimum area and pressure is then minimum. When the
flow rate is progressively increased, the minimum pressure decreases and there will be a critical flow rate
for which the vapor pressure is obtained at the throat. At this operating point, cavitation appears in the
section of minimum area. In Figure above, two bubbles are clearly visible in the upper part of the Venturi.
This is the start of the cavitation state. If the flow rate through the Venturi is further increased, the extent
of cavitation also increases. Figure given above gives an example of developed cavitation in the same
Venturi device. Many vapor structures which are different from single bubbles are visible.
At this point the chlorine when injected will oxidise the organic matter exploded bubble and due to the
large surface area available, the oxidation by chlorine molecule is almost instantaneous.

8.4.2. (M) RAIN WATER HARVESTING SCHEME


Rainwater harvesting is a mechanism involved in collecting, storing and using rainwater when it ismost
needed. A rainwater harvesting system comprises of various stages – transporting rainwaterthrough pipes
or drains, filtration, and storage in tanks for reuse or recharge. There are fivecomponents in a rainwater
harvesting system namely catchment, conveyance, filtration, storage andrecharge.
Advantages of Rain Water Harvesting
There are various advantages of Rain Water recharging from which some of those are listed below:
 Prevent evaporation and runoff of rain water and convey it to recharge groundwater especially
insuch areas where runoff is very high.
 Solution to water scarcity problems.
 Effective rise in ground water levels.
 It’s economical and energy saving as it prevents extraction of water from depleting ground
watertable.
 Easy operation and maintenance.
Design of rain water harvesting
 Quantity of Rain water collected depends upon:
 (a) Average rainfall intensity (b) Catchment area (c) Run-off coefficient.
 The rain water from the Roof tops, Paved and Green Area will be collected through PVC pipes
and then transferred to the proposed rainwater harvesting pits. Design calculations for these pits
are discussed in subsequent section.
 Based on the long term weatherdata for Vadodara district
 Annual Rainfall intensity = 632.1 mm (0.63 m)

M/S. JYOTI OM CHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE PVT. LTD., ANKLESHWAR 8.22


 
EIA OF M/S. ROAQ CHEMICALS PVT LTD., GIDC NANDESARI, VADODARA

 So, it is proposed to provide storage tank of volume ~100 m3. Keeping in mind four months of
Monsoon season.
 The proposed volume of rainwater harvesting pits can be created below parking area, green area or
roads etc. as per convenience. The stored rainwater will be utilized for various purposes hence
reducing required quantity of water.
Storm water management

 The drains for storm water will be kept clean and dry in summer and winter. The storm water
drains will be connected to the 100 m3 underground pit. The rain water of the premises will be
collected in this underground pit through storm water drains. The collected water will be analyzed
for any contamination of pollutants for 1st and 2nd rain during monsoon. If analysis indicates any
contamination, the collected water will be diverted to ETP plant. In case of no contamination, the
collected water will be used in cooling tower and other applications.
8.4.2. (N) ADDITIONAL MITIGATION MEASURES
In addition to the above suggested measures for management of air, water, soil, etc following additional
measures shall be provided.
ENERGY CONSERVATION PROGRAMME
Energy conservation measures are often the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to reduce costs and be
environmentally pro-active. Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during planning and operation
stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following:
a. Architectural design
 Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air-conditioning.
 Maximize the use of natural lighting through design.
