1. Introduction

M/s.LAXMI ORGANIC INDUSTRIES LIMITED (This Industry, TI) are desirous to expand,

diversify and energy integrate the existing specialty chemicals industrial unit for producing

green solvents, specialty chemicals and co-generation based captive power plant (CPP), at

Plot No. B-2/2, B-3/1/1, B-3/1/2; B-1/1/2, B-1/2/1& B-1/3/2, at Government developed

Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) industrial estate, Mahad, district

Raigad, Maharashtra.

The existing industrial unit is the only production facility in India to manufacture range of

specialty chemicals based on acetic acid to cater to demand of pharmaceutical, colorant and

agrochemical industry and substitutes imports by about 40% to 50%. The industry now

proposes to expand the capacity and add additional capacity to further substitute imports

and enhance exports.

Indianand worldwide demand for green solvents and specialty chemicals is increasing

steadily. The intermediates and solvent proposed to be manufactured will be used in

following industry segments.

• Printing industry : As a green solvent substituting aromatic solvents.

• Pharmaceutical industry

• Colorant industry

• Agrochemical industry

• Organic synthesis industry

• Polymer and coating industry

The Notification no. S.O. 1533 promulgated on 14th September 2006 has covered this type

of industries under its entry ‘5 (f)’. Synthetic organic chemicals industry located in a

notified industrial area/ estate will come under Cat Band come under purview of

SEAC/SEIAA, Maharashtra to obtain environment clearance for.

The industry submitted the proposal to SEAC, Maharashtra in June 2014. Subsequently,

SEAC, Maharashtra have taken up the project in its 86th meeting dated 5th and 6th Sept

2014, and classified under Category – “A” as the unit is falling within five km from

Ecologically Sensitive Area (ESA) and directed TI to approach to Central EAC, MoEF, New

Delhi.

In the recent past, the industry was granted Environmental Clearances for the same unit in

March 2010 and April 2013 by state SEAC/SEIAA.

Now we are seeking expansion in production capacity with addition of new products. This

prefeasibility report is prepared for forming a frame work for EIA study, scoping and

finalizing terms of reference as may be required.

Form I, as is prescribed by the said notification is duly filled up and submitted. The

prefeasibility report is an accompaniment to the same.

Form I submitted by us generally covered Justification, nearby Land Use, Resources,

Process, Pollution Control, Aesthetics, Risk Involved, Consequent Developments and

Environmental Sensitive Issues.

2. Justification

The Indian pharmaceutical industry is the world's second-largest by volume and is likely to

lead the manufacturing sector of India. Several Government and private sector projects

with huge amount of investments have been initiated but could not attend the speed of

development for the need of good quality material. Over the last decade, there has been a

sizeable growth in Pharmaceutical sector both in small, medium and large scale units. This

has given rise to many small and medium scale units to manufacture pharma

intermediate.The ever growing requirements of India,due to higher population and various

diseases indicated the need for the growth of this industry. Thus there is a gap in demand

and supply. Our efforts of generating products, by-products, downstream products and

recycling - reprocessing are indeed needed. With multinational pharmaceutical companies

enhancing their presence in India, the long-term prospects of the pharmaceutical industry

seem fairly bright.

The printing industry is increasing at robust rate due to globalization and change of life

style in India. This calls for availability of green solvents like ethyl acetate which will

substitute solvents like toluene, MIK and MIBK.

Indian agro sector demand is increasing to improve productivity and to deal with attack of

various types of pests etc. The intermediates proposed will substitute imports.

The colorant industry demand for intermediates is increasing as multinational companies

are shifting manufacturing base in India.

But the impact of some factors on the industry's growth remains to be seen. For one, there

is the power supply situation. Power accounts for around 10% of the manufacturing cost

and availability could be an issue in future. Also, manufacturers need to modernize their

processes to reduce energy consumption and become more cost efficient.

Due to shortage of power in the country, the company proposes to generate captive power

by energy integration by setting a co-generation plant and meets its captive requirements

of steam and power.

The fate of industrialization depends on the proper and effective conjugation of large and

medium/small scale industries each supporting each other in their requirement to bridge

the gap between demand and supply. In order to be competitive in the global market this

synergy between large & medium/small scale industries is a prerogative. Therefore

considering the above, large companies do require the help of small units to support them

by giving them quality products at lesser price.

These are important chemicals and none of them are banned for production in other

developed countries, nor is banned for use. The chemicals produced have following merits.

• Import substitute

• Export oriented

• Energy integration by setting up co-generation for steam and power requirements.

• The reaction product is water

• Clean production technology adopted by ensuring


7

- Minimize pollutants at source

- Maximize recycle

- Treat to PCB norms

• 100% recycle of increased effluents for process.

• No increase in effluent load to CETP

Laxmi Organic Industries Limited (TI) is the only producer of Diketene derivatives &

Ketene derivatives and major producer of Ethyl acetateand have expertise in Co-gen CPP.

TI has proposed to increase capacity in the same products range and has expertise in

design, engineering, construction, commissioning and operation of these products and has

network of marketing these products in domestic and export markets.

3. Location-

The proposed location is at plot number Plot No. B-2/2, B-3/1/1, B-3/1/2, B-1/1/2, B-

1/2/1& B-1/3/2, M.I.D.C, Mahad, District, MIDC at Mahad. This TI site is in premises of MIDC

estate which is meant for this type of industries. On all four sides we are surrounded by

industries and no nuisance is spread. The surrounding neighbors are,

1. East : MIDC vacant plot

2. West : Local body Road, vacant agricultural land.

3. South : Pearl Polymers

4. North :Lona Industries.

Location too is justifiable. Unit size is kept correct for ease of handling and environmental

control.

Government MIDC at Mahad has provided all infrastructures like assured Electrical power,

continuous water supply with purification from water works having, RSF (Rapid Sand

Filtration) and disinfection, internal road, network, external approach roads and has

networking with Common Hazardous Waste Storage Treatment and Disposal Facility

(CHWTSDF). CHWTSDF at Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC),

Taloja, in vicinity has been established with support of MIDC and Maharashtra Pollution

control Board (MPCB). A Common effluent Treatment Plant (CETP), is also functional at

MIDC, Mahad.

As there are other industries in the neighborhood with similar nature, there is

compatibility.

Location can be thus justified. A relevant portion of index map is enclosed.

The proposed land plot admeasuring 1,02,789 sq. mts. This is not a Prime Agricultural

Land. The land use is already as “Industrial”. Thus, there is no change in the status. This is a

flat land where by cutting- filling balances 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 river, city Mahad, railway line and

national highway are sufficiently at safe distance. The clearance is obtained from local

body. Hence, have public acceptability.

The stack will be fitted with port-holes, ladder and platform for facility of taking samples.

Fugitive:

A number of mitigation measures are taken to control fugitive emissions

• Engineering the plant layout in such a way so as to virtually eliminate need of

using heavy equipment for material handling in the main plant

• Internal roads paved, leveled, no undulations, no sharp curves, slow speed

• No open storage of materials involved

• Fumes extraction and scrubbing system provided for extraction of fumes

from the reactors and the process plant areas.

8. SOLID WASTE

Introduction:

Following mitigation practice is the policy for future:

• Minimization at all levels will be attempted for discarded products, empty

containers, packing surpluses, incoming raw material unloading spillages and fugitives.

• The plant will produce very less amount of scrap materials. All these, however, be

carefully stored on raised platform with dwarf toe walls all around, and a roof over-head.

The contents will not be held in the premises for more than a fortnight.

• The main solid waste from factory will be in form of and residues form catalyst

recovery. This waste will be transported to the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment and

Disposal site for proper treatment and disposal.

• We buy raw materials in tankers and chemicals in bags. The bags are recycled.

• The ETP sludge will be sent to CHWTSDF.

Aesthetics:

There will be no nuisance from noise. DG set only run occasionally during power failures to

keep plant under safe conditions. There are crushing and pulverizing operations for coal

handling. Dust suppression system is provided. Dust extraction with dust collection is

provided. Labor strength is also limited in this MSI unit.

Odour however can be of some sensitivity in chemical industries. However, in this case

majority input is odourless, and only few with mild or characteristic odour. This will be

handled carefully. No nuisance will go to surrounding chemical industries.

(B) Manmade Environment

This includes existing land-use, demography, employment, socio-economic aspects and

community development needed and proposed. This is for entire area both rural and urban

in this study zone.

• Socio-Economic Status in Influence Zone explained in 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 more 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 is registered under Factory Act and is

bound by State Factory Rules.

A complete exercise of risk assessment & characterization is scientifically done. Mitigation

plan is drawn as follows:

• Mitigation measures

• Sprinkling on excavation

• Scrubbers on process vents

• Bag filters for steam boilers

• Stack height per MPCB

• Trees

• Barrier walls as shielding technology to suppress blast pressures, fragments, fire-

balls

• Chemical storage area – ventilation, store-rooms, fuel dyked

• For Hazardous chemicals – Flame-proof motors, “No smoking’, Thermal insulations.

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.

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 available to attain the factory.

9. Benefits

The expanded capacity will meet the growing demand for green solvents – locally and

internationally. 40% of the products will be exported to EU and other countries.

11. Scoping

We shall propose in “Scoping” the details of all above, as also the following;

• The study area of 314 sq. km, the land under the unit is very small. Thus, there will

not be change in land use pattern. The present land is already non agricultural and

under the industrial use.

• Raw material requirement, water requirement, water balance, process details,

technology, product details etc.

• Ambient Air Quality monitoring, for 3 months except monsoon covering 10 km

radius around industry and its impact.

• Ground water quality around plant 10 km radius.

• Treatment scheme to achieve low discharged from premises.

• Scheme of treatment, mode of treatment

• Many other medium and large scale industries are present within 10 km

radius in general and in this estate in particular.

• Information of solid waste, number of working days, CO2 emission from

stack and process, etc.

• Employment generation, benefits of project

• The raw materials used are enlisted and their MSDS will be presented.

Some of them will be covered under MIS rules. However there use in process is small below

regulatory quantity. Risk assessment will be done and submitted.

12. Conclusion

This project is very necessary to supply green solvents for printing industry and meet

solvent demand of pharmaceutical industry both domestic and worldwide and also in view

of :

• The local people desire that this industry will be welcome in their area.

• The candidate site is suitable from general MoEF expectations.

• Water, power, raw material, Filler Material and Market is assured and found

available with ease.

• Full precautions will be taken for Pollution Control, Resource Conservation and

Environmental Protection.

• This is cost effective and Sustainable Development.
