The Notification no. S. O. 3067(E) amended on 1st December 2009 as covered this type of industries under its entry shown above. With Screening it is necessary for Green Power Sugars Ltd. to approach Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), New Delhi for Environmental Clearance for all these three units. This Pre- feasibility Report is prepared for forming a framework for EIA study, Scoping and finalizing the Terms of Reference.

Form I, as is prescribed by the said Notification is duly filled up and submitted. This Pre- feasibility Report is an accompaniment to the same. The Form I contains details regarding Justification of the project, Nearby Land Use, Resources, Process, Pollution Control, Aesthetics, Risk Involved, Consequent Developments and Environmental Sensitive Issues.

2. JUSTIFICATION

Molasses is one of the waste product produced from sugar factory. Environmentally speaking these are very undesirable & risky properties. However, it is possible to put it to useful purpose by producing Alcohol. Molasses can be used as raw material for distillery. The resultant alcohol has various uses in chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry and as Ethanol. The liquid effluent however, is highly polluting though not poisonous or toxic. This organic load can be converted to useful compost, which in turn can assist growth of sugarcane for the member farmers. For making the compost press mud solid waste can be useful as filler material and baggasse solid waste can be useful to produce much needed power for process. It is likely that the ethanol may be used more as automobile fuel in the days to come & hence new distillery unit is justifiable. Distillery unit needs the raw material as molasses & press mud as filler material to be self sufficient for this it is desired to have a sugar factory of our own. This area has very good soil & availability of water. The people are enthusiastic about such crop & hence sugar factory is justifiable. Sugar factory will also produce baggasse, this baggasse has fuel value. We can convert this in power & steam. Power will useful to our units & colony for captive unit & surplus can be given to State, as this State has short in power supply. Thus, spent steam at its tale end can still be used for production of sugar & the alcohol. Thus, a power plant is justifiable.

3. LOCATION The proposed location is in Village Gopuj, Tehsil Khatav, Dist. Satara, in State Maharashtra. This candidate site is in premises of Sugar mill, so that there is less transportation of Molasses and press mud. The land requirement for proposed industry unit is already in possession and is not prime Agricultural Land. This is flat Land whereby Cutting-filling will be balanced and there will be No/Low Borrowing from Nature.

Within 10 km Influence Zone, there is no Tropical Forest, Biosphere Reserve, National Park, Wild Life sanctuary and Coral Formation Reserve. The small irrigation Dam Yeralwadi, City Satara, R a i l w a y line, National Highway is at a sufficient, s a f e distance. The Clearance is obtained from Local Grampanchayat and hence will have public acceptability. 4. RESOURCES (A) Green Power Sugars Ltd. proposed to establish a molasses based 45 KLPD distillery,

expansion in Sugar Plant (3500 + 1500 = 5000 TCD)& Cogeneration Plant (15 + 13 = 28 MW).

The capacity of the proposed distillery shall be 45 KLPD. For this the main and sole raw material is molasses. The yeast brings about the change. Some chemicals in small quantity are used for supporting propagation of the yeast and help in fermentation. Thus,

# Raw Material Quantity/day

1. Molasses 168 T

2. Sulfuric acid 90 lit

3. Nutrients N, P 45 kg

4. Turkey Red Oil (TRO) 90 kg

(B) Green Power Sugars Ltd. proposes to expand from 3500 TCD to 5000 TCD sugar mill,

which requires following resources.

The capacity of the proposed sugar mill shall be 5000 TCD. For this the main and sole raw material is sugarcane. Some chemicals in small quantity are used for supporting. Thus,

# Raw Material Quantity/day

1. Sugarcane 5000 TPD

2. Sulfur 2000 Kg

(C) Green Power Ltd. proposes to expand a baggasse based Co-gen power plant from 15 to

28 MW, which requires following resources. For this the main raw materials are baggasse and high quality water. Some chemicals in small quantity are used for supporting. Thus,

# Raw Material Quantity/day

1. Baggasse 1400 TPD

In addition to the raw material, utilities are also required. These are: Power: Need 1000 KW. Available through Govt. Electricity Board and own

generation. Man Power: Staff, skilled and unskilled totally 400 persons will be required, and

will be available. Water Need is a b o u t 570 + 281 + 600 = 1451 cum/d and shall be met from

small irrigation dam at Yeralwadi. Molasses Storage Tanks (three no.) of 5000 MT capacities each. Building materials: This is not a heavy construction, and majority is in fabrication

from Mild steel structural. The orientation is so kept as to balance nearly the cutting and filling. The small requirement is available systematically. The construction -erection time will be small and will be done in daytime. Labor camp is not necessary.

Filler material for composting is press mud and is available from parent sugar factory.

Total Cost for project will be Rs. 258.00 Crores. Thus all the resources are available and will be used economically and judiciously.

5. PROCESS

(A) Distillery – Green Power Sugars Ltd., proposed to establish a molasses based 45 KLPD Distillery, the peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows, This is a simple three step process namely molasses preparation, fermentation and distillation. The standard flow sheet as will be adopted can be given as -------

For the sake of eco-friendly considerations continuous fermentation and multi- pressure

distillation will be practiced. The CO2 will be scrubbed in water and the water that entraps escaping alcohol fumes will be recycled for molasses preparation.

(B) Sugar Unit – Green Power Sugars Ltd. proposes to establish sugarcane based 5000 TCD Sugar mill. The peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows, This is a simple three step process namely Cane milling, Evaporation and Crystallization. The standard flow sheet as will be adopted can be given as

Most of the sugar factories in India follow double sulphitation process and produce plantation white sugar.

The major unit operations are shown in figure these are 1. Extraction of juice 2. Clarification 3. Evaporation 4. Crystallization 5. Centrifugation

1. Extraction of Juice The sugarcane is passed through devices like knives for cutting the stalks in to chips before being subjected to crushing in a milling tandem comprising 4 to 6 three roller mills. Fine preparation with its impact on final extraction, is receiving special attention & shredders & particularly the fibrizsers are gaining popularity. The mills are of modern design, being equipped with turbine drive, special feeding devices, efficient compound imbibitions system etc. In the best milling practice, more than 95% of the sugar in the cane goes into the juice, this percentage being called the sucrose extraction or more simply the extraction. A fibrous residue called bagasse; with a low sucrose content is produced about 25 to 30 % of cane, which contains 45 to 55% moisture. 2. Clarification The dark-green juice from the mills is acidic (pH 4.5) & turbid, called raw juice or mixed juice. The mixed juice after being heated to 65 to 75 0 C is treated with phosphoric acid, sulphur dioxide & milk of lime for removal of impurities in suspension in a continuously working apparatus. The treated juice on boiling fed to continuous clarifier from which the clear juice is decanted while the settled impurities known as mud is sent to the field as fertilizer. The clear juice goes to the evaporators without further treatment. 3. Evaporation The clarified juice contains about 85 % water. About 75% of this water is evaporated in vaccum multiple effects consisting of a succeeding (generally four) of vaccum boiling cells arranged in series so that each succeeding body has higher vaccum. The vapours from the final body go to condenser. The syrup leaves the last body continuously with about 60% solids & 40% water 4. Crystallization The syrup is again treated with sulphur dioxide before being sent to the pan station for crystallization of sugar. Crystallization takes place in single-effect vaccum pans, where the sysrup is evaporated until saturated with sugar. AT this point ‘seed grain’ is added to serve as a nucleus for the sugar crystals & more syrup is added as water evaporates. The growth of the crystals continue until the pan is full. Given a skilled sugar boiler(or adequate instrumentation) the original crystals can be grown without the formation of additional crystals, so that when the pan is just full, the crystals are all of desired size & the crystal & syrup form a dense mass koown as ‘massecuite’. The ‘strike’ is then discharged through a foot valve into a crystallizer. 5. Centrifugation The massecuite from crystallizer is drawn in to revolving machines called centrifuges. The perforated lining retains the sugar crystals, which may be washed with water if desired. The mother liquor ‘molasses’ passes through the lining because of the centrifugal force exerted & after the sugar is ‘Purged’ it is cut down leaving the centrifuge ready for another charge of massecuite . Continuous centrifuges may purge low grades. The mother liquor separated from commercial sugar is again sent to pan for boiling and recrystallization. Three stages of recrystallization are adopted to ensure maximum recovery of sugar in crystal form. The final molasses is sent out the factory as waste being unsuitable for recovery of sugar under commercial condition from economical point of view.

(C) Co-Gen Power Plant- – Green Power Sugars Ltd. proposes to expand a bagasse based total 28 MW Co-Gen Power Plant, the peculiarities of manufacturing process are as follows, This is a simple three step process namely Water preparation, Steam Generation and Power Generation.

Effluent Treatment Plant:

Stream (A): Domestic effluent: The Sober wastewater stream comes from boiler blow down, pump cooling and cooling purging water. Except temperature, it has little other objectionable characteristic. This is can be treated by physic-chemical treatment, lowering the temperature to ambient, giving detention for some time and recycle either for industrial purpose or gardening or using as diluent to moderately polluted waste water before treatment. This effluent is from three units Stream (B): Industrial Reusable Wastewater This is sober water except temperature, comes from cooling purging. A detention tank with suitable holding capacity and shallow depth shall be provided. The water after cooling will be suitable for irrigation purpose. Stream (C): Industrial moderately polluted wastewater The Moderately polluted wastewater is the spent lees stream, which has low pH however no low organic matter. After the pH correction of this stream, it will be joined to treated sugar factory effluent, which can be disposed on land for irrigation. Stream (D): Industrial highly polluted wastewater Zero Pollution by Distillery Effluent - Technical Approach The spent wash coming out of distillery is passed through heat exchanger to reduce the

temperature from incoming 90o-100o C to 30o-40o C. This is found necessary, as the major culture grouping is in mesophillic range. The initially neutralized effluent is then

taken to the 1st phase process of Acid Formation. The basic operation is divided into two phases as it is necessarily a two phase operation

and which gives greater stability to 2nd phase operation of ‘methane phase’. The

effluent after acid formation enters the 2nd phase reactor, wherein it is conditioned with return sludge/supernatant. Multiple entry inlet and weir outlet combined with higher flow through jet mixers and sparger mechanism with high velocity gives the ‘upflow sludge blanket reactor with ‘complete mix’ facility. The effluent after methane phase reactor is subjected to flash degasification to release entrapped gases. This is thereafter subjected to sett l ing operation to avoid carryover of biomass/solids which is recycled back to the digester for maintenance of biomass. The supernatant is also partially recycled to maintain inlet conditions as per design. The biogas is collected into a storage tank with p re s s u r e maintenance facility and is used in the combustion device or flared. The basic advantage of the process is this overcomes all the practical problems of

various sub techniques, which is required to suit Indian Working conditions. Composting is the decomposition of heterogeneous organic wastes by a mixed microbial population in a moist, warm, aerobic environment. By gathering the inert base material of Filter Cake, press mud from Sugar Factory into heaps and Spraying with the Spentwash, along with the culture dosage, by conserving some of the heat of fermentation, the temperature rises and rates of degradation result which are far higher than those achieved under ambient conditions. The mature end product is ‘humus’, consisting largely of the humic acids. The aim of composting is to convert a major proportion of organic wastes into a marketable product. A judicious combination of treatment disposal techniques in the form of Anaerobic Digester and aerobic Composting with Filter Cake from sugar factory is successfully working at many factories. It is however observed that in most of the cases, the material balance requirement of Composting Process is not fulfilled; forcing the distillery managements to discharge untreated / partially treated effluent in the environment / river for dilution. This specifies the need of adopting a ‘Composite Approach’ wherein after Anaerobic Digestion, with the help of Multi Effect Evaporator; the anaerobically digested Spent wash is reduced to desired volume suitable for the mass balance of the composting process and Filter Cake availability. This will also result in utilizable water of neutral pH and low organic matter concentration to be reused after treatment. This technique is really useful in achieving the fool - proof technology of zero pollution by adopting the approach of, Biodigestion + MEE + Aerobic Composting By adopting the above technology, it is possible to achieve not only zero pollution but also will utilize fully the nutrient values and organic matter of Spentwash for the resource generation.

a) Treatment Unit Design (i) Acid Phase Reactor Inlet characteristics-

(Max.) Wastewater flow 500 cum/d

COD (mg/l) 120000 - 130000

BOD (mg/l) 55000 - 60000

TSS (mg/l) 2000 - 3000

The spent wash from distillery is collected in a one-day holding tank working as Acid Formation Reactor cum Lifting Sump from where pumping of the effluent would be done to Bio-digester. The high BOD effluent of spent wash is 425 cum/d, however biodigester is design for capacity of 500 cum/d for safety.

Initially, pH adjustment has to be carried out and the same tank would be used for neutralization and initial mixing.

(Max.) wastewater flow 500 cum/day

Taking detention time 24 Hrs

Volume of equalization tank 500 cum

Taking a liquid depth 3 m

Provide a tank with dimensions 12 x 12 x (3+0.5) m. Two chemical pumps (one stand bye) of capacity 25 cum/hr and a total head 15m would be provided to pump the effluent to anaerobic digester. Adequate mixing arrangement would be provided for mixing the effluent with chemicals in the tank.

(ii) Anaerobic Digester The effluent would then be pumped to anaerobic digester.

(Max.) Volume of effluent 500 cum/day

C.O.D. concentration taken 130000 mg/l

Total C.O.D. load 65000 kg/d

C.O.D. loading rate 5.0 kg C.O.D./cum/d

Volume of Digester 13000 cum

Provide a digester with this volume and with suitable diameter/Height ratio. Adequate recirculation would be done of the effluent from the digester outlet to the inlet point. The inlet would be multiple inlets so that no dead pockets are formed.

The biogas formed would be collected in the upper space of the anaerobic digester, which would also act as temporary storage arrangement. The biogas would be taken for burning in the boilers.

The effluent at the digester and further unit of Lamella clarifier outlet is expected to have following characteristics.

Flow : 500 cum/day Temperature : Ambient pH : 7-7.2 B.O.D. : 5000 - 6000 mg/l C.O.D. : 40000 - 45000 mg/l T.S.S. : 3000-4000 mg/l

b) MEE T echnology It has been imperative that the waste volume should be reduced to as small as possible. This is to achieve the critical material balance with the filler material i.e. press mud, which is available seasonally, i.e. for a shorter duration, and therefore in a limited quantity. This purpose is achieved with the help of Multi Effect Evaporator system, which is specially designed for such application and effluent. This achieves a dual purpose of not only volume reduction of the Spent wash, which is further validities to achieve zero discharge, but more important, water recovery, which can be reused in the process.

c) Composting For scientific aerobic composting CPCB has laid following New Guidelines:

➢ Working days of Distilleries maximum : 270 days

➢ Spent wash storage capacity: less than 30 days

➢ Press-mud to Spent wash ratio 1:2.5

➢ Proper preparation of land for avoiding leaching and percolation.

➢ Land required for composting 850 MT/Acre/Cycle

➢ Equipment: Homogenizing machine

Thus for our purpose, following ancillary units will be provided:

Sr. No. Unit Particulars 1 Storage tank of 30 days In earthwork, with HDPE lining.

2 Windrow Floor Entire area concreted with LDPE lining

3 Homogenizing machine Sturdy design with heavy-duty rotor construction and gear box

4 Spraying of spent wash Auto-spray with fine droplets network

7 Maturation Yard Storage and maturation of Compost before dispatch, with sieving arrangements.

Material Balance Basis Distillery capacity 45KLPD

Working days of Distillery 270 days

Spent wash per day (After MEE) 225 cum

Spent wash annually 270 x 225 = 66750cum

PM : SW (Pressmud to Spent wash) ratio, Composting Cycle (60 days each)

1:2.5

PM required annually 66750 / 2.5 = 24300 MT

PM Production daily from sister concern sugar factory (adjoining)

160 MT

PM Production annually (180 days) 28800 MT

Hence, the Pressmud available is sufficient.

Land Required at the rate of 850 MT/Acre/Cycle

Duration of cycle 60 days

No. of Cycles per year Four

PM Tonnage per cycle 24300 / 4 = 6075 MT

Land Required for 4050 MT 6075 / 850 = 7.15 acres

Provide 20% extra for roads, gutters etc. 8.58 acres

Area for Press Mud and Finished Product 1.5 acres

Laboratory, Admin. Office 0.40 acres

Lagoon Storage 1.50 acres

Total land requirement 11.98 acres

Total land of 12 acres is reserved for the purpose. Thus zero discharge is achieved

from the beginning. DISPOSAL Disposal is of predominant importance in total environmental management. Stream (A) The treated domestic sewage coming out of septic tank and anaerobic filter shall be disposed on land for gardening by subsurface irrigation. Stream (B) The stream of utility water (cooling purging) after cooling is fit for disposal on land for irrigation. Stream (C) The stream of industrial effluent of only moderately polluted is fit for on land for irrigation, after bio-oxidation. Stream (D) The stream of industrial effluent of highly polluted type coming a f t e r Distillation,

disposal

Re-boiler and M.E.E. treatment is then converted in solid compost. The Compost has following quality: Moisture Content less than 35 % Organic Carbon 20-25 % Phosphorus 1.5 % Nitrogen 1.5-2 % Potassium 2 to 3.5 % C:N ratio less than 17

The compost has a ready and developed demand in this area. This will largely substitute the fertilizer and soil conditioners for the crop. Wastewater from Sugar and Co-Gen unit We are expanding our a sugar unit up to 5000 TCD and Co-Gen power unit up to 28 MW, there will be infrastructure optimization, more efforts for conservation of water, more recycling and economy of scale. Disposal: The matter is very simple in the present case. The stream of domestic sewage comes from various shops and sheds separately placed. Therefore treatment is given at respective places in dedicated Septic tanks. This is used by sub surface irrigation for local greening.

Solid Waste: This is not a big problem. The solid in process generate only as yeast spent residue. This is highly biodegradable and can be taken to compost yard without difficulty. 7. BACKGROUND STUDY:

This is important part of study. (A) Natural Environment :- We propose to do the sampling as - Surface Water: 2 Locations, 11 Parameters. Ground Water: 9 Locations, 9 Parameters. Includes 1 upgradient and 2

downgradient of compost yard source. AAQ Ambient Air Quality stations 2 down wind and 1 up wind location in 1 km

area, from Co-gen Stack. Noise: 9 Locations. Soil: 9 Locations, 2 locations in Actual Compost yard area proposed.

The stations will be selected in all the eight directions from the factory and in 10 km radius.

(B) Manmade environment :- This will include existing land-use, demography, employment, socio- economic

aspects and community development needed and proposed. This will be for entire area both rural and urban in this study zone.

Socio-Economic Status in Influence Zone will include the study of Non- Workers percentage whether high, from the percentage employed population on Agricultural, how far is the scope for other avenues of livelihood like Live Stock, Forestry, Fishing, Hunting, Orchards, Mining, Trade Commerce.

Further Out of Total Land what percentage is already under Cultivation and Out of Total Land what percentage is already under Irrigation.

If the land is not likely to support m o r e people, then whether Industrialization is necessary to improve the situation. All this will be studied as cost benefit ratio.

8. SAFETY Safety and Occupational Health will be dealt carefully. A disciplined approach is natural to this industry. Safety policy will be in place. The unit will be registered under Factory Act and are bound by State Factory Rules. Thus, First aid trained and Fire-fighting trained person will be available in every shift. Safety Officer will be appointed, as also the competent person retained. Where necessary, provisions of other Acts, where required like Petroleum act, Explosive Act, etc. will be obeyed. Fire fighting system is kept as per norms of Insurance Company and CIF.

DMP (Disaster Management Plan) and off-site emergency plan will be in place. Accordingly, Personal protection equipment will be given and use will be insisted. Consulting Physician is retained to attain the factory.

9. BENEFITS The industry will produce Ethanol which is a vital commodity in the national as well as international market, and which will save foreign exchange. This will not disturb the present land use because our area occupied will be only small % of Influence zone 10 km. Compatible Architecture will be adopted and No Prime Agriculture Land will be put to this industrial use. Trees will be maintained and not razed down. No Rehabilitation is involved. People will get jobs here and the organic compost generated here will be useful for farming, and some incidental small employment like eatery, canteen, tyre repairs, and garage too will become available to genuine people. This will be beneficial to the society. Due to this project, farmer will get more prices for sugar cane. Moreover, the direct compost prepared in the first step will be more rich in organic contents and farmers shall be benefited more and using less volume of compost.
