As of now there is no duly constituted SEIAA & SEAC in the state of Uttar Pradesh, therefore, as per

the provision of Para- 4 of EIA notification 14 September, 2006, “in the absence of a duly constituted

SEIAA & SEAC, category "B" Project shall be treated as a category "A" Project”. Thus, the project

shall be treated as category “A”.

2.1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT PROPONENT

Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) is second largest PSU companies, with Fortune

Global 500 rank of 225 (2012). BPCL is involved in the refining and retailing of petroleum products.


Information

33

BPCL’s growth post-nationalization (in 1976) has been phenomenal. One of the single digit Indian

representatives in the Fortune 500 & Forbes 2000 listings, BPCL is often referred to as an “MNC in

PSU garb”. It is considered a pioneer in marketing initiatives, and employs “Best in Class” practices.

During recent past years the demand of LPG has increased many folds in western region especially

in UP region. The demand of LPG cylinders in and around Bhopal for the year 2007-08, 2008-09 and

2009-10 has been registered as 11.79 TMTPA, 15.65 TMTPA, and 17.96 TMTPA. From the year

2007-08 to 2008-09 the growth of demand has been registered as 32.8% and from year 2008-09 to

2009-10 the growth of demand has been registered as 15%. With heavy LPG subsidies taking a toll

on oil marketing companies’ under recoveries and the government’s petroleum subsidy burden, the

United Progressive Alliance government had imposed a cap of six cylinders per household on LPG

sales in 2012. The cap resulted in a 4.9 per cent dip in subsidised consumption between October

2012 and January 2013 when the cap was eased to nine cylinders. Commercial sales grew at 24 per

cent during the period. In order to meet the growing demand of LPG, M/s Bharat Petroleum

Corporation Limited (BPCL) proposes to expand their storage capacity from 450 MT capacity to

1350 MT within existing premises of LPG Bottling Plant at C- 45 TO C-47, UPSIDC industrial area,

Naini District Allahabad, (UP).

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE

BPCL is India`s flagship national company. It has laid down distribution centers to cater the demand

of LPG products in the various regions of the country. The existing LPG bottling plant, (since 1997),

requires augmentation in storage capacity for smooth supply and reduction in waiting time.

There will be an additional central excise, and other applicable taxes through the proposed storage

capacity augmentation. This will contribute to the regional/central revenue and will be further put in

public expenditure. The augmented capacity will help reduce waiting time and overcome the

congestion of traffic, in various regions in the state of U.P.

2.3 DEMAND-SUPPLY GAP

The diagram below explains the forces acting upon LPG sector instilling its growth upwardly, and the

inhibitors which deter growth rate of industry. Dynamics in LPG sector is largely affected by both

micro and macroeconomic factors as shown. The growth rates of this industry are highly affected by

economic growth rate of the country as GDP, growth in population, agricultural and commercial

usage, which in turn changes the demand for LPG. Regulatory framework is expected to be an active

enabler for the LPG sector, considering it is a loss making sector to the government; India also

requires huge investments for infrastructural developments in the LPG sector. A National &

International political decision is an uncontrollable factor which affects the demand and supply

scenario of LPG industry. An optimistic view suggests that the drivers foreplay inhibitors and hence

the industry is expected to grow at a significant rate in the coming decade.

Drivers and Inhibitors of LPG

Growth Growth

Drivers Inhibitors

There is a fair degree of correlation between the growth in Oil & Gas products and the growth in the

population and overall economic activities. Thus demand will be in line with population and

economic growth.

Several factors such as household income, location, and availability and prices of alternatives, appear

to affect the choice of or dependence on LPG.

There is a large gap between the demand and the supply LPG in U.P. The proposed project aims to fill

the demand – supply gap effectively (by reducing the waiting time) through the required storage. The

associated need of the proposed augmentation in storage capacity is required for smooth supply.

2.4 IMPORTS VS INDIGENOUS PRODUCTION.

The LPG gas is procured from nearby. The proposed project storage capacity augmentation and does

not involves imports.

LPG is used worldwide for cooking and heating, especially in areas without connection to piped

natural gas. LPG is a clean fuel for households and is associated with the need for cylinder refills. The

proposed expansion project aims to fulfill, time and place utility with effective cylinder management

as LPG has to be stored under pressure, with metal cylinders.

2.5 EXPORT POSSIBILITY

There is no export possibility by the proposed capacity augmentation, hence not applicable.

2.6 DOMESTIC / EXPORT MARKETS.

The existing bottling unit aims to cater LPG distribution to nearby area. The proposed storage

expansion is for domestic market.

As evident from the table above, BPCL has a relatively lesser number of LPG Distributors, in Uttar

Pradesh. The proposed storage augmentation will fulfill the regional demand of 10 districts nearby

Allahabad, and no exports markets will be catered through it.

2.7 EMPLOYMENT GENERATION (DIRECT AND INDIRECT) DUE TO THE PROJECT

Existing total employment is approx. 54 people including security personals (shift wise). No

additional man power will be employed on payroll. However a temporary influx of related skill

manpower will find job-work opportunity for erection and fabrication of the proposed storage vessel

in the expansion project.

Manpower

Permanent BPCL Staff 09 nos.

Contractual Staff 45 nos.

Total 54 nos.

There will be a positive impact on the indirect employment of the region.


Information

36

Transporters (Trucks and logistics) contract with BPCL for distribution purpose will increase

and this would result in the additional employment by the transporter (in-contract).

Due to gas transportation activity, petty food joints and & others en-route (fruits and

vegetable markets) will be benefitted, to full fill the need of associated people.

3.5 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

There are no chemical reactions involved in the process at the Plant. A brief process is depicted

below:


37

The operations start with the receipt of bulk LPG, bulk LPG is being received through tank lorries in

the plant. The above lorries are decanted in T/L bay by differential pressure method. The product is

transferred from the tank lorry to the storage vessels through pipelines.

From the storage tank (Bullets) the product is pumped to the filling machines by using centrifugal

pumps.

The empty cylinders from the market are received at the unloading finger. These cylinders are

checked as per the visual inspection format for dent, genuineness burnt marks, mechanical damages

by the company staff. Only sound empty cylinders are sent to the carousal & filling machine for

filling.

The cylinder filled is checked for correctness of weight on the check scale, to compact valve tester for

checking of leakage from valve & 'O' Ring. After completing the above checking, the cylinder is

capped by safety cap & then goes to test water bath for body/bung leak checks. The leaky cylinders

are rejected after the test bath and the same goes to evacuation unit for decantation of the product


38

from the cylinder. After evacuating the product from the cylinder, the above cylinder goes to cold

flaring unit for degassing & then the cold repair is done. Body leak cylinders are rejected for

scrapping after de-gassing.

Similarly the cylinders having variation in weight of the gas filled are also taken out to correction unit

& the weight is adjusted by filling the product or taking out the product as per the requirements.

All sound cylinders after Test Bath are sealed with PVC seal which is sealed through hot Air Sealing

Unit. These cylinders are then loaded to the trucks for dispatching to the markets. A random check is

also done before the dispatch.

3.6 RAW MATERIAL (Quantity and Source), PRODUCT AND MODE OF TRANSPORT

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a well planned process to predict the environmental

consequences of any kind of development, which is a result of human activities and to suggest

appropriate measures in order to reduce adverse effects and also to augment positive effects. The EIA

procures a rational and ethical approach for sustainable development. However, it is more scientific

process because it not only tells the past, present and the future consequences of on-going

developments, but also predicts the future events which are likely to change due to various reasons.

district Allahabad may be divided in four different agro-ecological situations AES i.e: Black and

Coarse-grey land, Jamuna khaddar and Alluvial, Ganga Low land and Sodic, Ganga plain. The

northern part of Allahabad district popularly known as Gangapar provides rich loam soil for

cultivation of food grains, pulses, oilseeds and vegetables. The Southern part of Allahabad district

also known as Yamunapar is partly rocky and somewhat agriculturally backward. Out of total

cultivated land 64% of the area is irrigated (Canal, Tube well Govt. & Public) and 36% is rainfed.

SECTION V

PLANNING BRIEF

5.1 PLANNING CONCEPT (type of Industries, facilities transportation etc.) TOWN AND

COUNTRY PLANNING/ DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY CLASSIFICATION

The project is for LPG storage and bottling unit. The unit has 3 nos. of existing A/G bullets storage

vessels of 150MT each with bottling capacity of approx 12000 cylinders/shift. The unit operates in

two shifts. Now, the plant is planning for increasing the storage capacity by installing 300 MT x 3

mounded storage vessels. The capital investment required for the proposed augmentation is 2613 lacs.

5.2 POPULATION PROJECTION

The proposed capacity augmentation in the LPG bottling plant shall not require additional permanent

manpower. Hence, there will be no change in the population projection of the nearest and farther most

villages due to the proposed expansion unit. A temporary influx of 45 local workers for erection and

fabrication will be there in the plant premises.

5.3 LAND USE PLANNING (Break up along with green Belt, etc.)

Land Use: The land use after the proposed expansion of the project is as under:

Particulars Existing Proposed

Green Belt Area 3.68 - 3.68 33.06

Open Area 2.02 -0.3 1.72 15.45

Total Plot Area 11.13 11.13 11.13 100

5.4 ASSESSMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE DEMAND (Physical & Social)

Social Demand

There is an infrastructure demand of new storage vessel. The storage capacity augmentation aims to

moderately reduce the waiting time of its distribution, thereby fulfilling social demand of LPG. The

manpower requirements will remain the same hence there is no additional social Infrastructure

demanded inside the project periphery.

Physical Demand

Water: The plant has daily fresh water requirement to the tune of 105 KLD. Out of which the 7 KLD

is required for washing and mock drills (once in a month) and 3 KLD for domestic purposes.


52

Electricity:

The existing power demand of the unit is 180 kW. The existing plant has D.G. of 125 kVA, 250 kVA and 400

kVA at the site. The existing power supply and backup is sufficient for the proposed augmentation. No

additional D.G. set is required for the proposed augmentation.

utilized for cleaning and washing of cylinders to the tune of 7 KLD, while 3 KLD water is required

for domestic purposes. The project proposal is only for installation of additional 03 nos. of mounded

storage vessels to augment the storage capacity. The water consumption due to the proposed augment

will not increase because the total bottling capacity will remain intact after augmentation. The source

of water is bore well with the site premises.

The unit has two 2600 KL (Above ground M.S. fire water Tanks) in compliance of OISD guidelines

for emergency purpose. The water of the tanks is replaced on half yearly basis.

6.7 SEWERAGE SYSTEM

The domestic waste water is being routed to septic tank followed by soak pit. The same will be

followed after expansion.

6.8 INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
