& PART-III

DETAILED MONITORING REPORT

The proposal is for environmental clearance for Changeover of feedstock and fuel from oil and LSHS to R-LNG for existing Ammonia Plant at Nangal Unit, Naya Nangal, Punjab-140126 by Mis National Fertilizers Ltd. The main product is Urea Fertilizer with a production capacity of 1450 MT per day. The revamped Ammonia plant will have a production capacity of 950 MT Ammonia per day. The main product is Urea, which is produced from Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide produced in Ammonia Plant. Fuel Oil(FO)/Low Sulphur Heavy Stock(LSHS) is being used as Feed stock raw material for the above production. This process is energy intensive as well as the raw material is costly. This results in very high cost of production of Urea. As per the direction of the Ministry of Fertilizers, in its new Fertilizer pricing policy, all high cost Urea units to convert to low energy process with cheaper raw material. In view of this, NFL proposes changeover of feedstock from FO/LSHS to Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) at Nanga!. The project envisages revamp of the existing Oil based Ammonia plant to Steam Methanation process of Natural Gas/RLNG which is a cost effective. The Urea plant and other infrastructure will remain same. Total cost of revamping will be Rs. 651 Crores. The entire revamping will be within existing plant premises and no additional land will be required. The production of urea was started in January, 2013. The production from April, 2014 to November, 2014 is given below:­

Month Production of Urea (in MT) April, 2014 40684 May, 2014 47073 June, 2014 39733 July, 2014 47217

August, 2014 50027 September, 2014 46882 October, 2014 49975 November, 2014 47680

The project proponent has been requested to submit production figures from December, 2014 to onward with all six monthly progress reports.

The compliance of different conditions is given below:­

(A) Specific Conditions:

i) The project revamping shall be from existing Oil based Complied Ammonia plant to Steam Methanation process of Natural Gas/RLNG, which is a cost effective.

This condition has been duly complied by the project authorities. The Urea Plant and other infrastructure facilities required in the expansion plant also have not been dismantled. The facilities which are no more required are being dismantled.

II) The company shall Implement all the recommendations made in the Charter on Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection (CREP) for fertilizer industries. Efforts shall be made for conservation of water and consumption shall be less than 8m 3/tonne of urea produced.

Belhg compllp.rl

It is gathered that the recommendations made in the CREP for fertilizer industries and which are applicable in this Plant are being implemented/followed by the project authorities. The implementation progress of only those recommendations which are applicable in this plant are yet to be submitted.

iii) The project authorities shall install efficient scrubbing Complied system to control emission and bag filters for dust control in the plant.

-It is observed that one Dedusting system has been installed with the Urea Plant. Urea Prilling tower dust is recycled back through water sprinkler system and taken back in the process. The Urea dust slippage is analyzed and is always found to be within norms. It is also observed that the ESP's have been installed with the coal fired boilers. The flue gases from coal fired boilers are passed through ESP's which remove the ash from the flue gases & rest of flue gases are vented to atmosphere through chimney's of suitable height as per norms. In addition to monitoring through Lab, there is also provision of online monitoring for SPM and S02 in flue gases. The monitoring results of the stacks carried out by the Lab of NFL in respect of SPM & S02 from June, 2014 to November, 2014 have been found within the prescribed norms by PSPCB. Stack emission of the stack attached to Primary Reformer has been monitored by Eco Laboratories &
