Gujarat. Promoter of the proposed project are Mr. Kailash Agrawal & Mr. Jitendra Agrawal.

Plot area of the proposed project consists of 16,844 m2. Around 33.6 % (~5,665 m2) of total plot

area will be developed as greenbelt. The project cost is estimated to be around INR 73.9 Crore.

As per the EIA notification dated 14th September, 2006, as amended till date, the proposed

products falls in category including Project / Activity: 1(d) – Thermal Power Plant. This project

shall be treated as Category “B”.

1.1 Plant Features and Production Capacity

The Imported Coal & Rice Husk will be fed to furnace of the AFBC Boilers (2 x 55 TPH). The fuel

mix (Ratio 70:30) will be fired in the furnace. The saturated steam is generated in the Boiler drum

and passed to the Primary, Secondary & In-bed super heaters to get the superheated steam from

the Boilers. The superheated steam is fed to the Steam Turbine and it rotates the steam Turbine.

The steam Turbine is coupled with Reduction gears and Alternators. The power of 23 MW will be

generated in the Alternators and distributed to the nearby industries and textile units.

Coal & husk will have the separate storage area. Fly ash & bottom ash generated shall be

disposed off as per the fly ash notification as amended till date. Plant will have no effluent

discharge, hence meeting Zero Liquid Discharge norms. Flue gas shall meet the statutory norms.

Design of ESPs will be as per the state government norms.

1.2 Infrastructure

The proposed power plant will mainly comprise of Boiler House consisting of AFBC Boilers, Steam

Turbine, Alternator / Generator, Fuel storage area, Utility Area consisting of cooling tower,

compressors, ESP section, ETP (RO & MEE) area & Fly ash & Hazardous waste storage area.

1.3 Utility

Power: Auxiliary Power requirement of ~ 1.5 MW will be sourced from DG Sets / UGVCL and will

be used as standby back-up supply for emergency conditions & safe shutdown of power plant in

case of main power failure.

Steam: Steam requirement of 20-40 Tons in adjoining industries and textile units shall be met.

Fuel: For startup purposes, HSD will be used as fuel. During operation phase, Rice Husk based on

availability & imported coal and will be used. Maximum blending ratio of coal to husk shall be

maintained to 70:30, as per the availability of Husk. In such case, 365 TPD Indonesian coal & 200

TPD rice husk will be required.

Raw Water: Water requirement of 384 KLD will be met from existing bore wells (2 Nos).

Manpower: During the construction phase around 100 workers will be hired. During operation

phase, project will generate direct employment for more than 50 people and indirect employment

for approximately 25 people.

DIST: KHEDA (GUJARAT) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | MARCH, 2017 2

1.4 Environment

Environmental issues associated with proposed units are:

Air Emissions: As, point source emissions, likely air pollutants from proposed project are

SPM, SO2 & NOx from flue gas stack attached to boilers. Adequate APC equipment like ESP will

be provided. Adequate stack height will be provided.

Wastewater: Waste water generation will be 137 KLD which will be fully recycled and

reutilized to achieve zero liquid discharge.

Solid & Hazardous Waste: Fly ash & bottom ash (~21,000 TPA) will be generated from

burning of fuel in boilers, which shall be stored in closed storage silos and sold to brick

manufacturers and cement industry.

1.5 Sensitivity

There are around 7 water bodies including 2 rivers namely Sabarmati & Vatrak river within 10 Km

of the project site. There are around 24 villages in the surround of 10 Km from the project site.

There are no National Park/Wildlife Sanctuary, Tiger Reserve/Elephant Reserve / Turtle Nesting

Ground, Core Zone of Biosphere Reserve, Habitat for migratory birds, Estuary/Sea/Mangroves,

Mountains/Hills, Reserve Forest, Defense Installations, Airports, Railway Lines within 10 Km of the

project site.

Site is well connected to Ahmedabad via SH-140 which is 0.15 Km in E Direction from site. Major

railway station for public transportation is Nadiyad Railway Station located at an aerial distance of

~30 Km in ESE direction from the project site. Other nearest railway station is Kheda Railway

Station at ~11.5 Km from the project site in E Direction. Nearest airport from project site is

Ahmedabad Airport located at an aerial distance of ~ 34 Km in NNE direction, which operate

flights to most of the large cities in India.

1.6 Conclusion

Demand of power and steam in nearby industries and textile units is envisaged. No power plant is

available in the region and these units have to rely on the grid power and own small boilers.

During the lean period, husk will be used as per its availability. Currently it is being used by many

nearby brick manufacturers for burning purpose. In such small scale industries, APCM are

generally not available. In case, if the same fuel (if used) in the proposed power plant, the

emissions from the stack will be controlled and shall meet the GPCB norms easily, with online

reporting of emissions.

Thus, if this project comes up, it will have social, financial benefits and will be environmentally

sustainable.

Pre-feasibility study confirm the viability of the project.

Coal Handling System

Coal from the coal wagons will be unloaded by Tipplers in the coal handling plant. This coal will be

transported up to the coal storage bunkers through conveyor belts. Coal will be then transported

to the Crush house by conveyor belts where it will be crushed to small pieces and light dust will be

separated. The crushed coal will be then transported to the bowl mill by coal feeders. In the bowl

mill, coal will be grounded to a powder form. The mill consists of a round metallic table on which

coal particles fall. The crushed coal will be then taken to the Boiler through coal pipes with the

4.6.3 Drainage

River in the South –East part is Vatrak arise from Dungerpur hills and meets Sabarmati at Vautha.

River in North-West Part is Sabarmati originates in the southwestern spurs of the Aravalli hills and

traverses a distance of 400 km through the districts of Sabarkantha, Ahmedabad and Kheda

before meeting the Gulf of Khambhat Interestingly, the river has in its upper reaches cliffy banks

rising up to 50 m. In its lower reaches, the river is seen to have frequently changed its course.

The Vatrak & Mesvo and Khari rivers are tributaries of Sabarmati. These different types of

drainage pattern mainly depend on the local geography, geology, structures and tectonics and

also it depends on the slope of the area. The area is under the influence of these river being the

main recharging source & controlling the drainage pattern.

The area remains cloudy between June - September, which is the active period of the monsoon

season. During this time all clouds cover is between 4.3 to 6.6 Oktas during day time and 3.9 to

6.3 Oktas during night time.

Humidity

Most humid conditions are found in the monsoons, followed by post-monsoons, winter and

summer in that order. Mornings are more humid than evenings and humidity ranges from a high

of 74-87% in monsoon mornings to a low of 20-45% in summer evenings. During post-monsoon

season, in morning humidity remains between 55-64% and in the evening it remains between 35-

37%.

8.2.1 Profitability

The project has been conceived assuming that there will be a demand for power in nearby

industries and textile units, leading to a reasonable rate of return in the medium term. The project

is thus considered ‘bankable’.

DIST: KHEDA (GUJARAT) ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

KADAM ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANTS | MARCH, 2017 25

9 ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL

9.1 Financial and Social Benefits

Demand of power and steam in nearby industries and textile units is envisaged. No power plant is

available in the region and they have to rely on the grid power and own small boilers.

Requirement of nearby industries and textile units will be fulfilled by this proposed power plant.

During the lean period, husk will be used as per its availability. Currently it is being used by many

nearby brick manufacturers for burning purpose. In such small scale industries, no APCE is

attached generally. If it is used in proposed power plant, the emissions from the stack will be

controlled and shall meet the GPCB norms.

During the construction phase around 100 workers will be hired. During operation phase, project

will generate direct employment for more than 50 people and indirect employment for

approximately 25 people.

The positives impact include enhanced direct employment for technical/administrative works and

indirect employment opportunities for transporters of raw material like Coal & Husk.

If this project comes up, it will have social, financial and environmental benefits. There will be

indirect development of small market for various aspects around the site.

Pre-feasibility study confirms viability of the project.
