1. Executive Summary
Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) is a premier public sector company in the Oil & Gas Sector
and is engaged in the business of refining and retailing of petroleum products including LPG in
the country. It is the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune 'Global 500' listing, ranked at the
96th position in the year 2014. IOCL is having about 90 LPG bottling plants which serve every
corner of the country. Indane (the trade name of LPG of IOCL) is supplied to the consumers
through a network of about 5,456 distributors (51.8% of the industry).The growth in demand of
LPG for domestic purpose is increasing at a rapid pace.

This report is to seek environmental Clearance for installation of 3X600MT mounded storage
bullets for storage of LPG to meet the demand with bottling capacity of 60 TMTPA and 7 days
coverage at Jabalpur LPG Bottling Plant.

The gas leak detection, fire prevention and control system at Jabalpur LPG Bottling Plant shall
be the latest and comply with the OISD norms. All LPG storage vessels, cylinder storage/ filling/
repair sheds, LPG Pump House and TLD shall be fully covered by medium velocity water spray
system. This Bottling Plant will also cater to the non-domestic LPG demand, Bulk LPG and
Auto LPG demand of Jabalpur and surrounding districts. The Bottling Plant is estimated to cost
120.27 Crores.

LPG is a mixture of commercial butane and commercial propane having both saturated and
unsaturated hydrocarbons. LPG marketed in India is governed by Indian Standard Code IS-4576.
LPG is in vapor form at ambient temperature but is normally maintained in liquid state by
application of moderate pressure or reduction in temperature. The power supply to the terminal is
from Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board during emergency DG sets will be used for
emergency purpose only. The water required for the terminal operation such as fire water,
domestic water shall be sourced via pipeline from reservoirs located within the IGC Maneri
Area.

No significant emissions are anticipated from the proposed project activities which are used only
during emergencies. Emissions from the DG sets shall be vented out through exhaust as per
statutory norms and will be monitored. Fugitive emissions from project activity are envisaged
and adequate control measures will be in place. Solid waste viz. Hazardous solid waste & non
hazardous solid waste generated in terminal will collected, segregated and disposed of through
authorized agency as per Hazardous waste rule. The project has adequate safety & fire fighting
systems in place to control any toward incidents. These systems are in line with the requirements
of OSID.

The project will require manpower of 63 personnels during operation phase. Local manpower
will be preferred during construction phase. The proposed project will be completed in
approximately 36 months from the date of approval, environmental & other statutory clearances,
whichever is later. The total cost of the proposed project is around 120.27 Crores.

5. Need for Project Activity
Liquid LPG is a clean fuel and is extensively used as cooking fuel in India. Due to increase in
urbanization and improved quality of life the demand for its consumption is increasing. In order
to increase its new customer base and to serve the existing customers in a better way M/s Indian
Oil Corporation Ltd. are augmenting their existing bottling plants and setting up new plants.
With the present LPG Bottling facilities in Madhya Pradesh, IOCL is unable to meet the growing
demand of LPG in the State.

The current demand of packed LPG is about 400 TMTPA in the state of Madhya Pradesh for the
year of 2014-15. The demand is being met by 3 no. of LPG Bottling Plants at Bhopal, Guna and
Ujjain with a bottling capacity of 360 TMTPA and the balance is met with hospitality
arrangement with other OMCs.

The project demand up to 2018-19 is expected to increase by 500 TMTPA. The increase in
demand is being met by capacity augmentation of existing LPG bottling plants and scouting for
land for grass root projects for LPG BP in the state.

In view of the foregoing, IOCL has proposed for provision of 3 nos of mounded bullets with 600
MT capacities each near Jabalpur within IGC Maneri. The Bottling Plant is estimated to cost
120.27 crores.

6. Environment Control Measures
• During construction phase there will be fugitive emissions due to movement of equipment
at site, dust emitted during the leveling, grading, earthworks, foundation works and other
construction related activities. These impacts will however, be marginal and temporary in
nature.
• Periodic LDAR survey shall be carried out to detect & control such measures.
• Septic tank along with soak pit will cater the sewage load. Sewage from the administration
building will be routed to the septic tanks followed by soak pits and the sludge generated
from the septic tank will be dried and used as manure for green belt area. No increment in
sewage load and hence the Septic tank Capacity is envisaged with the proposed expansion
project.
• The DG sets are acoustically insulated resulting in reduction of noise as per limits
prescribed by State Pollution Control Board. The exhaust pipes from DG sets are taken
above the building as per State Pollution Control norms.
• No process / manufacturing involved. Hence no solid waste generated.
• All conditions & pre-requisites of water and air consents together with certificate to handle
hazardous products issued by State Pollution Control Board shall be strictly adhered to.

7. Fire & Safety Measures

Fire Prevention system-

The gas leak detection, fire prevention and control system at Jabalpur LPG Bottling Plant are the
latest and comply with the OISD norms. The following systems are provided at Jabalpur Bottling
Plant:-

GAS MONITORING SYSTEM:

The system consists of gas detecting sensors linked to a computerized processing unit and with
alarm panels at control room, filing shed, plant manager’s cabin as well as security gate having
audio / visual alarms and MIMIC Panel to alert the plant personnel. The sensors are located at
sensitive or potential hazard areas in the plant.

AIR/VAPOUR EXTRACTION SYSTEM:

It is a blower with ducts extended to different operating points in filling shed. The blower
extracts any leaking LPG vapour from the floor level and cold flares the same to the free
atmosphere at the height of 1.5 meter from the highest points of eves of the shed. This system is
interlocked with filling system, such that the blower has to be started before the carousel is
started for filling operation. A standby blower is also given to meet situations where one of the
blowers is out of order. In this way there is no accumulation of LPG at plant floor level and any
minor leaks due to operating operation is immediately evacuated and not allowed to reach the
lower explosive limit.

REMOTE CONTROL VALVES:

These are pneumatically operated quick shut off valves provided on LPG pipelines with
actuating points located both remotely and nearer to operating facilities in plant. When actuated,
the valves will close within 25 seconds, stopping the flow of LPG in pipelines. In case of
leakage of LPG through flange joint or rupture of pipeline, the remote operated valves are
operated restricting the leakage of LPG to the sections between two ROVs only and the LPG in
upstream area and the storage bullet area is cut off from the leaking point, thereby preventing
major leakage or fire.

HIGH LEVEL ALARM:

This kind of alarm is installed in storage bullets and other vessels. In case of filling of more than
85 % the alarm will be actuated at Pump Housed which is a manned location and REMOTE
OPERATED VALVES installed in storage vessel will close the flow of LPG to vessel. The
actuation of REMOTE OPERATED valve and alarm is interlocked with the level of LPG liquid
in vessel.

EMERGENCY TRIP BUTTONS & MANUAL CALL POINTS:

These emergency push buttons are provided at strategic places in the plant. In case of
emergency, when the emergency trip button is actuated action takes place as specified in the
clause 11.11 of OISD 144 which involves tripping of electricity to all the operating equipment in
the hazardous area of the plant, closure of all remote operated valves on the LPG pipelines and
sounding of siren. Operation of manual call point will denote a abnormal situation alerting the
plant personnel and will involve the sounding of siren only. These points are provided at
strategic locations in the plant.

12
MEDIUM VELOCITY SPRAY SYSTEM:
This sprinkle system is provided in the operating areas of hazardous areas of plant like al sheds
involving filling, storage and operation on cylinders, tank lorry decantation shed, expose flanges
of mounded storage, LPG pump house, etc., as per the specifications given in OISD 144 / 150.

Adequate storage of fire water in exclusive above ground tanks is maintained as per the fire
water calculation. There is a fire water pipeline system which is constantly kept pressurized with
a minimum of 7 kg per centimeter square using jockey pumps which start and stop automatically
at preset pressures. The fire water pipeline is connected to the MV spray system through deluge
walls where an air water balance is maintained. The MV Spray system is equipped with a
quartzoid bulb fire detection system. When the temperature reaches 79º C the bulb will be burst
releasing the air water balance at the deluge valve and thereby starting the sprinkling of water.
This will reduce the pressure in the pipeline which will start the fire water pumps. Thus the
entire system of fire protection is automatic. In case of actuation of sprinkler either by bursting
of quartzoid bulb, or operating sprinkler manually, all plant machineries will trip electrically,
electric siren will be sounded , fire engine will be started ,all remote operated valve in liquid
LPG line will be closed and emergency light will be activated ( At night). This system is called
Interlocked Shut down System.

MUTUAL AID –
IOCL LPG Bottling Plant Jabalpur shall make Mutual Aid agreement with neighboring
industries.
