1.1 Introduction

Goa has seen a steady growth of industries in the recent years. Government of Goa, while

encouraging industrial growth, is also conscious about the Environmental impacts of the

industries. Thus, the Governments efforts have been targeted to ensure better compliance to

environmental laws and encouraging industries which are low polluting in nature. While the

problem of effluent and air pollution can be controlled through readily available &

comparatively low cost in-plant treatment technologies, Hazardous waste generated needs

treatment and disposal which cannot be undertaken at individual industry level, as this will

result in creating pollution hot spots at multiple locations.

Thus, highly industrialized states like Maharashtra, Gujarat have installed Common

Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal Facilities (CHWTSDF) at multiple locations to

ensure safe treatment and disposal of wastes.

Presently there is no Common Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage and disposal Facility

(CHWTSDF) within Goa state. Industries here are required to dispose their hazardous waste

in other nearby states which poses following problems :

- objections are raised by other states on being used as “dumping” ground

- uneconomical due to high transport cost

- hazards during long distance transportation

In view of the same, Government of Goa is taking steps to establish Common facilities for

treatment and disposal of Hazardous Waste.

In order to support the government initiative, Goa Industries Environment Management

Association (GIEMA) took active interest and approached Government of Goa to locate a

CHWTSDF in Goa.

Goa Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC) has allotted requisite plots at Pissurlem

Industrial Estate phase I which is a notified Industrial estate. The area of plot is 78,126 sq.m.

The proposed facility shall cater the need of entire Goa state’s industries.

As per EIA Notification S.O.No 1533 dated 14th Sep 2006 and its subsequent amendments

the proposed project is falling under Project / Activity 7 (d) Common Hazardous Waste

Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (CHWTSDFs), Category “A” (All Integrated facilities

having Incineration and landfill or Incineration alone) and requires environmental clearance

from Expert Appraisal Committee, at MOEFCC, Delhi.

2 . BACKGROUND INFORMATION

2.1 Introduction

The primary objective of this project is to provide a common Integrated facility for the

collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of hazardous waste generated in the

state of Goa. GIEMA / GIDC have identified M/s SMS Envocare Limited as service provider

for design, finance, construction & operation of the CHWTSDF.

2.2 Brief of project

Hazardous Waste disposal is generally done by Incineration (for combustible and highly

toxic wastes) and landfilling (with or without pre-treatment). Incineration has benefit of

reducing volume and toxicity of wastes. Residues from Incineration are disposed off in

landfill. Landfilling is the ultimate disposal and has to be scientifically done to prevent

environmental degradation and ground water pollution. This is done by isolating the

contaminant pollutants from the environment through pre-treatment and encapsulation.

The proposed facility at Pissurlem is an “Integrated” facility that is it will have facilities for

secure landfilling and Incineration designed to meet CPCB standards and will cater to

environmentally and economically sound disposal of waste generated in Goa.

2.4 Brief Description of Nature of the Project

The proposed project is a Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage, Disposal facility

(CHWTSDF) located at Pissurlem Industrial area phase I, Goa, and will cater for safe

disposal of hazardous waste for the entire state of Goa.

2.4.1 Need for the Project and its importance to the country or region

There is a growing concern all over the country for the disposal of hazardous wastes

generated from anthropogenic sources. The waste generators find it difficult to dispose

their hazardous wastes without causing environmental disturbance; very few scientific

disposal facilities are available.

The Hazardous Waste (Management And Handling) Rules 1989 subsequently revised in

2000, 2003 & 2008, promulgated under the Environment Protection Act 1986 govern the

generation, handling, storage, treatment and disposal of Hazardous Wastes. Schedule I and

II of the 2008 Rules clearly identify hazardous waste from processes, their characteristics

and concentration levels beyond which a waste will be termed as hazardous. As per the

Rules, the hazardous wastes need to be disposed off in a secured manner without causing

environmental damage. CPCB has published several Guidelines for waste characterization

and criteria to choose disposal pathways.

Efforts to draw up inventories of Common hazardous waste generated in the country were

initiated in year 2003-04 as a follow up to the recommendations of the High Power

Committee (HPC) set up under Chairmanship of Shri MGK Menon and Supreme Court

Monitoring Committee (SCMC) established by Hon Supreme Court of India. Many reports

by CPCB, Delhi have pointed to the need for Common Facilities for Hazardous Waste

Disposal in moderately generating HW states like Goa, considering the total quantity of

waste generated (estimated 21,925 MTPA from 204 units in 2014-15).

The primary objective of this project is to provide scientific treatment/ disposal of

Hazardous Wastes through Incineration/ common landfill facility to cater to the hazardous

wastes generation in Goa state.

2.5 Justification of the Project (Need of the Project and its importance to

country and or region)

Currently Hazardous Waste TSDF at Goa is being sent to other nearby states for its

disposal. There is no CHWTSDF facility presently in the state of Goa. At present there are 18

Industrial estates in Goa state having about 3000 industries as follows:

2 Incinerable 15000- 20000 TPA

3 Recyclable 2000-3000 TPA

Considering the quantity of hazardous waste available from Industries is around 25,000

TPA. Based on this figure the total land available for the Common hazardous Waste

Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) will suffice for period of about 15 years.

As mentioned above currently there is no hazardous waste disposal facility in Goa, hence in

order to meet the requirement for treating land fillable, recyclable waste and other types of

waste, a Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility is proposed in North Goa district

to meet the demand of the state of Goa.

2.6 Required Manpower (Employment generation direct / indirect due

3.3 Details of Alternate sites considered and the basis of selecting the

proposed site:

3.3.1 Alternate Sites:

Presently no alternate sites have been considered. Previously, Government of Goa has

notified 1,10,390 sqm of land at Survey number 193/3 for development of CHWTSDF – the

Environmental clearance for same was obtained in 2008 (from MOEF) (which was valid

upto 19/2/2013) and renewed on 21/03/2013 by SEIAA, Goa. However, development of

site could not take place due to Public opposition at the site.

3.3.2 Selection of the Proposed Site

The selected site at Pissurlem Industrial estate is based on CPCB Knock-out criteria that are

based on certain parameters such as characteristics of land, geology, hydro-geology,

ground water conditions and ecological considerations etc.

3.4 Size or Magnitude of Operation:

The proposed project will be set-up on 78,126 sq.mtr (over 14 Acres) land at Pissurlem

GIDC.

The capacity of the proposed site shall be as follows:

Sr. No Description Quantity, TPA

1 Direct Landfill 25,000

2 Incineration 1.5 tons/hr

3.5 Project Description with Process Details

Common Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) is a facility

where hazardous waste are collected, transported & scientifically disposed off from small/

medium / large scale industries. Collected wastes are stored as per the guidelines of

Maximum quantity of 10MT or a minimum period of three months whichever is applicable

and taken to the facility for safe and scientific disposal.

Common Hazardous Waste Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) is meant for

final disposal of hazardous waste generated from various production activities. The proper

functioning and implementation of necessary treatment schemes installed at this site will

reduce the environmental risks expected to be generated from malfunctioning and

mismanagement of disposal of hazardous waste. The entire facility will be divided into the

following phases:

Phase – I:

• Development of weighing scale

• Construction of temporary storage

• Laboratory

• Pre-treatment

• Development of 1st Cell of secured disposal facility [landfill]

• Leachate treatment plant [LTP]

Phase-II:



11

Second Stream of Incinerator or plasma based technology with Air Pollution Control

System for treatment & disposal of Incinerable waste as per the HW Rules 2008 &

amendments.

3.6 General Features of the proposed CHWTSDF

The following are the general features of the proposed CHWTSDF plant.

Secured Land Fill (SLF) Facility:

Capacity: 25000 MT / Annum

Period: 15 Years

Area Required: 8 Hectares

As per CPCB Guidelines , Secured landfills may be designed to accept the following

hazardous waste:

• Wastes which do not exceed biodegradable organics more than 5 % and total

Organic content more than 20% and wastes which do not have calorific values more

than 2500 Kcal/kg.

• Sludge from effluent treatment plants

• Air pollution control dust and sludge

• Incineration residues

• Organic chemical residues amenable to stabilization

• Oil refinery waste and sludge amenable to stabilization

• Pesticide bearing waste amenable to stabilization

• Waste from paints and coating industries amenable to stabilization

• Waste from pharmaceutical industries amenable to stabilization.

The waste maybe either sent for landfilling directly or after necessary pretreatment. Thus

proposed facility can be broadly divided into following sections

• Waste Receipt, Characterization and storage

• Secured Land Filling

• Landfill After Treatment

3.6.1 Waste Receipt Characterization and storage:

Treatment of chemical waste and its disposal is mainly accomplished through three

processes viz. physico-chemical, Incineration and secure landfill. But in this case we are not

going in for Incineration facility in phase I. Prior to taking up effective treatment it is

necessary to collect, segregate and store adequate quantity of waste in most scientific

manner through safe transportation system and storage facility. The storage facility shall

therefore comprise of temporary storage and permanent storage for separate storage of

treatable and intractable / incompatible waste. The requirement / selection of proper

treatment shall be met through appropriate laboratory analysis / equipment which enable

to select appropriate treatment viz. direct disposal to landfill without any preliminary

treatment or giving pretreatment before doing the landfill. The provision for secondary

treatment for waste water treatment etc. shall also be made to meet desired disposal

standard set for liquid discharge by regulatory authority.



12

3.6.2 Details of Secured Land Filling:

The Construction of Secured Land Fill site shall consist of following steps:-

A. Site Investigation:

For detailed engineering design, a detailed investigation program shall be carried out

which will comprise of,

a) Subsoil Investigation

b) Ground Water

c) Topographical Investigation

d) Hydrological Investigation

e) Geological Investigation and Seismic Investigation

B. Study of Characterization and Quantification of Waste:

A comprehensive survey of waste generators, its quantity, and its characteristics has been

carried out.

C. Land Area Calculation:

Considering the quantity of hazardous waste available from Industries is around 25000

TPA. Based on this figure the total land requirement for development of Common

hazardous Waste Treatment Storage Disposal Facility (CHWTSDF) for period of about 25

years has been calculated to be about 1,50,000 Sq.mt. (i.e. Approx. 15 Hectares). In this

estimation, the growth rate has been taken as 5 %, the specific gravity of the waste as 1.2,

the height of the landfill as 9.5 meter and inclination 1:2. It is estimated that the available

land will suffice the needs of Goan industry for next 15 years.

D. Planning and Detailed Engineering Design:

After studying all site investigation result and EIA results, SMSEL will be able to finalize the

master plan. Plan shall comprise of following component

• Construction of water supply, wastewater / sewage disposal system, surface water

drainage system, treatment facility for waste water & leachate etc.

• Secure Landfill with bottom liner, side liner as per the requirement of norms, with

leachate collection system.

• Intermediate storage facility with the entire necessary requirement like liner system

as well as leachate collection system.

• Solidification /Stabilization plant including crusher, trolleys hopper and mixer.

• The weighbridges to ensure the quantity of wastes received at the facility.

• Analytical Laboratory for segregation of waste before treatment.

• An administration office to manage the day to day operation and management of the

facility and also for maintaining the records of waste management

• Entry gates guarded by the security to prevent the unauthorized movement of waste

vehicles, animals and humans.

• Approach roads for easy access and transportation of waste within the facility.

• Monitoring well, in the upstream and downstream of the facility to assess and monitor

the ground water quality in and around the facility.



13

• Wheel washing station to facilitate the cleaning of vehicles to avoid the spillage and

contamination of roads within the facility and outside facility.

• Green belt development: It is proposed to be developed all along the boundary of

CHWTSDF for reducing the soil erosion, suppress dust generation and enhancing the

aesthetic value of the area.

E. Phase of operation:

A detailed chemical & physical analysis of a representative sample of waste will be

conducted before shipment of waste. The purpose of the full characterization before

shipment is to satisfy the following requirements.

• Determine if the waste is acceptable for receipt at the facility in terms of (a) the

facility’s permit and (b) the capability of the facility to treat or dispose of the waste.

• Identify the inherent hazards of the waste so that appropriate precautions can be

taken during its handling and storage at the facility to prevent incidents.

• Determine the physical characteristics and chemical constituents of the waste to allow

selection of effective waste processing and disposal methods.

• Select the verification parameters to be tested upon arrival at the facility. These

parameters would ensure that each shipment of waste is the same type as the fully

characterized waste.

• Select any treatability parameters to be tested that could vary so as to influence how

waste processing would be programmed.

• Develop an estimate of the cost of treatment of disposal.

3.6.3 Waste Receiving:

Waste shipment is done by the GSPCB authorized transport vehicle as per the Hazardous

waste Transportation Rule from generators to the common facility. After arriving of the

shipment at the gate following steps shall be followed.

• Check the pre shipment analysis has already completed and the shipment scheduled.

• The truck is weighed.

• Representative sample is collected for testing & verification of parameters.

• The laboratory analysis a portion or verification.

• The truck is directed to an unloading area. Unloading area can be temporary

hazardous waste storage area, storage area for stabilization of waste or direct to

secure land filling.

• After unloading truck is directed to wheel wash area.

• The truck is then reweighed before it leaves the facility.

3.6.4 Waste Storage and Preparation:

Main objective of storage and preparation are:

• Store the waste safely before introducing as feed into the system of unit treatment

and disposal process.

• Provide adequate accumulation time during periods when treatment and disposal

process system are out of service.

• Facilitate mixing, blending and repacking of waste as deemed necessary.

At the storage & preparation stage following safety considerations is taken:

• Fire prevention and protection & adequate waste supply for this.

• Water sprinklers.



• Systematic runoff collection and drainage system.

• Adequate separate storage area for incompatible waste.

3.6.5 Waste Treatment:

After maintaining the waste in storage the treatment schedule is developed from the

laboratory analysis report. The waste is treated & head to the final disposal facility. The

flow diagram for the same is shown in Figure 1.

3.6.6 Residual Management

Each waste treatment process produces wastewater effluents which are required to treat

further. For this residuals proponent have proposed to take the Leachate water or wheel

wash effluent shall be taken to effluent treatment plant for proper treatment. Figure I Process Flow Diagram for Hazardous waste Management- Phase I

3.6.7 Secured Landfill Cell

Secured landfill is the part of waste management facility. This place is final graveyard for

the hazardous wastes. This secure landfill is prepared as cells. These cells have bottom, side

liners and top liners. The impermeability and reactivity of these liners is of prime

importance. Once the bottom and side liners are complete, waste is dumped. On complete

filling of waste the top liners are placed and packed. In other words its encapsulation of

waste. Leachate collection system is provided in cell in order to collect leachate in well for

the further treatment and disposal.

The CHWTSDF will consist of number of such Secured landfill cells, having a life much

above 20 years (total about 13-14 lac tons). The additional life will take care of the

projected growth rate of waste generation and receipt, which has been taken at 5 % in the

line with the growth rate of industries of the region.

3.6.7.1 Construction Features

The construction of landfill and development phase requires proper planning and proper

selection of the earthwork/lining material. The containment system of landfill is proposed

with double liner system with a view to avoid the leachate infiltration into the ground.

Top Liner

The top liner is provided with parabolic shape to allow drainage of surface run-off. HDPE

liner of 1.5mm thickness will be provided over which drainage layer of 150mm will be laid.

The bottom of liner will have 750mm layer of blended soil. The drainage layer will be

covered with top yellow soil of 750mm thickness. Uniform vegetative cover will be



provided to protect the top liner from erosion during heavy rains and dust blow due to

heavy winds. A section of top liner is shown in Figure:

Bottom Liner

The construction of landfill and development phase requires proper planning and proper

selection of the earthwork/lining material. The containment system of landfill is proposed

with double liner system with a view to avoid the leachate infiltration into the ground. The

primary (top) membrane of 1.5mm HDPE liner will be laid over 450mm thick clay layer.

Over the HDPE layer 300mm thick perforated granular layer is laid for leachate collection.

Leachate contribution is mainly due to release of entrapped liquid waste in the solid waste

and any unseasonal rainfall likely to occur.

The bottom layer of secondary membrane of 1.5mm HDPE liner will be laid over 450mm

thick clay layer resting on subsoil. Over the HDPE layer 300 mm drainage/detection layer.

The secondary membrane shall comprise of geotextile membrane laid over 300 mm

drainage/detection layers. The section of the bottom liner is shown in Figure

Side Liner:

The side layer of secondary membrane of 1.5mm HDPE liner will be laid over 200mm thick

blended clay layer resting on subsoil. The side layer will have a slope of 1:3 (1 vertical to 3

horizontal). The section of the sideliner is shown in Figure



The secondary membranes shall have suitable resistance properties to ward itself from soil

bacteria / fungus, compatible with waste being filled, ample water resistance.

3.6.7.2 Leachate Drainage / Collection and its measurement

A leachate collection system shall be designed at the base of all the landfills. It shall

comprises of drainage layer i.e. layer of pebbles of greater permeability, leachate collection

sump, and its removal i.e. pump

After collecting the leachate it shall lead to onsite Leachate Treatment Plant, This involves

complete treatment of the leachate to meet the discharge standards for lined drains.

Treatment process may be biological, chemical or physical.

3.6.7.3 Gaseous Emission Management:

This system shall be optional as landfill gas is generated as a product of waste

biodegradation or on account of presence of VOCs in the waste. Gas generation can be

avoided or reduced by avoiding disposal of biodegradable / organic waste. If the gaseous

emissions are anticipated, the gas management strategy shall be (a) controlled passive

venting or (b) control collection and treatment /reuse.

3.6.7.4 Surface Run off management system

Surface water management system shall be provided. It is required to ensure that

rainwater run-off does not drain in to the waste from surrounding area and that there is no

water logging / pounding on covers of landfills. A surface runoff management system

comprises of channels, ditches, culvers and basin.

3.6.7.5 Final Cover System

Final cover of secured landfills shall be placed after completion of total capacity of SLF. The

shape of the final cover shall be in parabolic shape to avoid the infiltration of rain water in

to SLF and provide the normal slope towards the surface run off drainage /system. Please

refer the conceptual drawing for the TOP LINER

3.6.7.6 Closure and post Closure Maintenance Plan

A statement on the end use of SLF site is an essential part of the plan for landfill closure and

post closure maintenance plan. The maintenance plan comprises following components

• Plan for vegetation stabilization of the final landfill covers and side slopes.

• Plan for management of surface water run off with an effective drainage system



17

• Plan for periodical inspection and maintenance of landfill cover

3.6.8 Incineration Plant For Organic And Toxic Hazardous Waste Destruction

3.6.8.1 Introduction

Incineration process is adopted for the destruction of toxic and organic hazardous waste

received at the site. The total numbers of industrial estates in Goa are 18 and

approximately 1865 industries are present in 18 industrial estates. There are different kind

of industries like Pharmaceutical industries, Pesticides industries, Distilleries, Cosmetics,

Tyre industries and Industrial lubricating oil, automotive lubricants & solvents which are

generating large quantum of incinerable waste. The total quantum of Incinerable waste is

15000- 20000 TPA.

At present Goa is not having any facility or technology to treat and handle incinerable

waste. As Goa is not having any treatment facility so they are transporting their incinerable

waste to different states and transportation of hazardous waste is an unsafe method.

In the second phase of our Setting up of Common Hazardous Waste Treatment, Storage &

Disposal Facility at Pissurlem Industrial Area, Goa we have proposed an incinerator facility

at site. Incinerator facility will handle and treat the incinerable waste from all 18 industries

estates.

In incineration process rotary kiln is provided as primary combustion chamber and is

operated in presence of excess air where minimum 950-1000 Deg C The temperature is

maintained by controlling excess air and by support of fuel such as LDO through

temperature controller. The flue gas from the primary combustion chamber is taken to post

combustion chamber where flue gas temperature is elevated to 1100-1150 Deg C provided

minimum 2 seconds retention time to achieve destruction of toxic organic compounds.

Bottom ash is collected in solid form from the bottom of the furnace. Flue gas from the

secondary combustion chamber is then treated in Air Pollution Control System to achieve

the flue gas disposal norms before it is vented to atmosphere.

Plant Capacity:

• Solid / Semisolid / Liquid waste 1500 kg/hr

• Average CV of waste 4000 Kcal/kg

• Thermal capacity 6 Million Kcal / hr

Average characteristic of waste.



Operation

• Fuel LDO (Quantity required 750 Litre/day)

• Operation 24 hrs per day / 312 days per year

3.6.8.2 Operating Conditions

Incineration system shall be operated in order to achieve a level of destruction such that

Total Organic Carbon (TOC) content of the bottom ashes is less than 3%, or their loss of

ignition is less than 5% of the dry material weight.

Incineration system shall be designed, built and operated in such a way that the gas

resulting from the process is raised, after the injection of combustion air, in a controlled

and homogeneous fashion and even under the most unfavorable condition, to a

temperature of 850 C for two seconds. If hazardous waste with a content of more than 1 %

halogenated organic substances expressed as chlorine are incinerated, temperature has to

be raised to 1100 C for at least two seconds.

3.6.8.3 Description of Incineration Process

Entire Plant is divided into following sections

• Cat III: Up to 20 Lit Drums: Drum charger above 20 Lit drums: Drum unloading station.

• Cat IV: Overhead crane with Jaw end to charge waste into charging duct/hopper of the

Rotary Kiln.

3.6.8.4 Incineration in Rotary kiln, Secondary Chamber (PCC) and Air Pollution Control

System

Hazardous waste incineration shall be carried out in dual chamber furnaces. Primary

Incineration Chamber shall be of rotary kiln type and Secondary Incineration chamber shall

be of stationary type.

Primary Chamber (Rotary Kiln)

Rotary inclined furnace shall be provided as primary chamber. Here, waste shall be

charged to the furnace from the feed section. Incineration of hazardous waste shall be

carried out using atmospheric air. Waste to Air ratio shall be maintained so as to ensure

complete combustion of waste. Temperature of Rotary Furnace shall be maintained at min

1000 Deg C. In addition to the Calorific Value available with the waste, fuel oil shall also be

used (if required) to maintain the minimum required furnace temperature. Thus flue gas

and solid waste shall travel in co-current direction in the furnace to ensure maximum

efficiency of the combustion.

Rotary furnace shall be a brick lined furnace having adequate layers of fire bricks and

insulation brick at the inside of the shell. Rotary furnace shall be installed at an angle of 2

Degree. Furnace shall be driven by variable speed electric motor to achieve speed of

rotation in the range of 0.5 to 2 RPM.

Fuel oil burner to be provided with burner management system. Fuel oil burner shall

automatically startup/shutoff based on the furnace temperature. Burner system shall be

provided with fuel to air ratio controller and flame failure device.

Rear end of the rotary furnace is connected with the secondary furnace. Ash left out in

Rotary Furnace falls at the bottom hopper of the secondary furnace from where it is

discharged through ash removal system. Ash will be collected in underground RCC tank

where it is allowed to cool down.

Secondary Chamber

Hot flue gas from the rotary furnace shall be fed to the secondary chamber. Secondary

chamber shall be stationary vertical brick lined furnace. . Here, flue gas temperature is

raised to 1200 C using an oil burner. This oil burner is also provided with burner

management system to control temperature, oil to fuel ratio and flame failure device. Here



20

flue gas is given retention time of more than 2 seconds to ensure complete destruction and

removal efficiency of organic constituents. Secondary furnace shall be insulated from

outside for reducing surface heat loss.

Hazardous waste destruction shall be carried out in rotary kiln furnace followed by post

combustion chamber.

3.7 Air Pollution Control Section

Five stage flue gas cleaning system is provided to meet the final emission limit.

Stage 1: Gas Quencher

Gas quencher shall be installed immediately after secondary combustion chamber. It shall

be designed to take gas inlet temperature of 1200 C. Here gas shall be cooled down in

circulation of water mixed with aqueous waste (scrubber bleed liquor / effluent) by

evaporation of the water part. Gas is cooled down to 180-220 C in spray tower by

evaporation of water.

Stage 2: Bag Filter

Saturated gas from gas quencher is fed to reverse pulse jet type bag filter system. Before

bag filter activated carbon is injected into gas stream for adsorption of any VOCs left out on

surface of activated carbon. Bag filter is provided with SS casing and internals with Teflon

coated glass fiber bags which can withstand temperature of gas up to 2500C on continuous

basis. Bag filter is provided with 0.8 to 1 M/Min Air to cloth ratio. Bag filter is provided

with complete assembly of cages, venturies and compressed air injectors with sequential

control systems. Collected solids from the bottom of bag filter are removed through air

sealed rotary valve. Bag filter is also provided with heater system to maintain min 1800 C

inside bag house to avoid condensation of moisture on the bag.

Stage 3: Ventury Scrubber

From Bag filter clean gas is passed through ventury scrubber where gas is quenched to

saturation temperature along with pollutant gases such as HCl and SO2 is absorbed in

continuous circulation of alkaline scrubber solution. Free alkalinity in the scrubber solution

is maintained by continuous addition of caustic lye in the scrubber liquor. Part of the

scrubber solution is continuously bled off from the system. Suspended solids are filtered in

filter press and then bleed liquor is sent outside for treatment in effluent treatment plant.

Stage 4: Polishing Scrubber

Cooled and saturated gas at 780C shall be taken to polishing scrubber. In polishing scrubber

provided polishing scrubbing for the removal of traces of pollutant gases. In the second

stage of polishing scrubber gas is cooled down to 500C by direct cooling of gases through

circulating liquor through cooling tower. Due to cooling of gas evaporated waste water in

the system is condensed into liquid stream. Additional scrubber liquor thus generated is

sent to effluent treatment plant for the further treatment.

ID Fan

A centrifugal fan is provided to maintain negative draft in the system and to overcome

pressure drop in the entire system. Negative pressure in rotary kiln is controlled

automatically by controlling speed of the fan through inverter drive.

Stage 5: Stack

A rubber lined stack shall be provided after the scrubber system with flue gas sampling

port, platform, ladder with safety ring.

Emergency Stack

The emergency stack is located on top of the secondary chamber. It is pneumatically

operated. In case of system stoppage, solid waste present in the Incinerator will continue to



generate gas due to heat. The flue gas generated during this period needs to be vented out.

This is achieved by automatic opening of emergency flap.

Emergency Overhead Tank

Though emergency stack vents the gas to atmosphere during power failure, additional

safety system consisting of overhead tank is provided to quench the residual flue gas

present in the quencher. This can cause damage to downstream equipment because of

overheating. In order to protect the same, water from emergency overhead tank floods the

quencher allowing cooling of flue gas.

Operating standard as per CPCB Guidelines

Emission standards

Metals: While operating properly at rated capacity, the system shall have an emission rate

from the discharge of stack to atmosphere less than or equal to

Metals: Emission Limit (mg/NM3)

Cd+Th (& its compounds) 0.05

Hg (& its compounds) 0.05

Sb+As+Pb+Cr+Cu+Mn+Ni+V (& it’s compounds) 0.5

Note: All values above shall be corrected to 10% oxygen on dry volume basis.

4.6 Soil Classification

The study area has a variety of soils in different parts. Soils can be classified as laterite

(81%), alluvial and sandy. Alluvial soils are subjected to inundation by saline water and are

to be protected by bunds. The coastal inland area comprises of a stretch of land with high

water table, which can be exploited for irrigation and multiple cropping.

There are sandy loams to silt loams in texture, well drained and highly acidic. (pH: 5.5-6.5).

These soils have moderate organic carbon, but are poor in phospohrous and potash. About



25

11% of the soils located along the sea coast and estuaries are sandy potash. The remaining

85% of the soil are alluvial in nature. On the basis of fertility, topography of the soil, is

classified into:

A. Khazans land: are characterized by alluvial soils, which mainly occur in low lying areas,

often below the sea level, along the estuaries. This land is used for monsoon paddy

crops, followed by Rabi vegetables.

B. Kher land: This land is at low elevation above the sea and is having a high water table.

Aerable sand loams are for multiple cropping through irrigation.

4.7 Climate data from secondary sources

The state is situated within the tropic and surrounded by the Arabian sea to west and

western ghats, rising to an average height of 1000 meters. The climate is balanced and

moist throughout the year. On the bases of various characteristics of climatic conditions

prevailing all over Goa throughout the year, the climate of Goa has been divided into four

main seasons.

Summer Season: The summer starts from early March to the end of May. A maximum

temperature reaches to 40o C, which leads to pre-monsoon showers. Similarly, the

percentage of humidity varies from early March to the end of May.

Southwest Monsoon: South west monsoon season starts from early June to the end of

September. 90% of the total rainfall occurs during this season. The rainfall ranges from 300

to 500 centimeters annually in different parts of Goa.

Northeast Monsoon: Northeast monsoon starts from early October to the end of November.

During the season, the percentage of humidity is quite lower but temperatures are

moderate.

Winter Season: Winter season in Goa commence from early December to the end of

February. Generally, climate is good with clear skies and moderate temperature. An

average temperature ranges from 190C to 320C.
