Contd..

The action taken report along with time bound action plan for each industry under the 17 category of industry and CETPs, Common Hazardous waste and Biomedical waste incinerators for installation of online monitoring systems (emission and or effluent) shall be submitted to the Central Pollution Control Board within 120 days from the date of receipt of these directions.

SUBMIT ACTION PLAN: 4 MONTHS

BANK GUARNTEE: 3 MONTHS

DATA SUBMISSION: 13 MONTHS

DIRECTIONS ISSUED ON 05-02-2014

PARAMETERS PROPOSED FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING: pH BOD (Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand) COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) TSS (Total Suspended Solids) AMMONIA Cr (Chromium) As (Arsenic) AOx (Adsorobable Organohalogens)

EFFLUENTS’ MONITORING

PARAMETERS PROPOSED FOR CONTINUOUS MONITORING:

PARTICULATE MATTER FLUORIDE AMMONIA SO2 (Sulphur Dioxide) NOx (Oxides of Nitrogen) Cl2 (Chlorine) HCl (Hydro chloric acid vapours) CO (Carbon Monoxide)

Technology for continuous monitoring of all these parameters is available

EMISSIONS MONITORING

Ammonia analyzers utilizes ion-selective electrode (ISE), colorimetric, and ultraviolet (UV) absorbance

Four different flowmeter technologies --- electromagnetic, ultrasonic, ultrasonic Doppler, and ultrasonic transit time.

Suspended solids and turbidity analyzers use technologies of scatter, absorption, Coriolis and torque effects.

Current practices of using TOC analysis as an alternative to BOD5 & correlation data and analysis between BOD5 and TOC (site-specific)

Ammonia and ammonium compounds by ion selective electrode (ISE)

Heterogeneous System

In our country continuous monitoring systems is heterogeneous due to the following factors;

Various instrument suppliers are available to supply the analyzers/instruments for monitoring

Various Technologies are available for continuous monitoring of environmental parameters

Data generated from these instruments are available in different formats

Since, systems are different, platforms are different, formats are different, data collection and verification mechanism is not possible at a single platform.

In order to overcome the heterogeneity of the systems the following model of data collection and verification has been adopted:

Major instrument suppliers have been asked to install and operate their central servers and software at CPCB

Following the polluter pay principle all the industries were asked to submit the real-time data through instrument suppliers

Server-Client software mechanism is in place, which enables CPCB to view and verify the data through remote configuration and calibration, along with the status of instruments’ health

Instrument suppliers have also developed their own web portals where collected data can be visualized through Internet.
