2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATION (i) Identification of Project Proponent & the Project CG Coal & Power Ltd. is a limited company incorporated under the companies act, 1956 by Nakoda Group of Raipur on 30th September, 2002 headed by Shri Virendra Goel, a renowned personality and industrialist of Chhattisgarh region. The group incorporated the company with an intention to set up a coal washery. In Chhattisgarh high grade of coal is not available in required quantity. In sponge iron plants B & C grade of coal required. Hence to make E & F grade coal usable in sponge iron plants, it is required to wash the coal in coal washery. In India, the B& C grade coal required for steel manufacturing is not available in the required quantity. The coal washery upgrades the quantity of coal and make the E & F grade coal usable in sponge iron & steel plants. Project Proponent: M/s CG Coal & Power Ltd.

Email ID: [email protected] Phone No: (0771) 2282370 Proposed Project: Looking to the demand of washed coal, company decided to set up a 4 MTPA coal washery in 2 phases of 2.0 MTPA capacity each. To achieve the objective, promoters have selected Village- Batari, Tehsil- Katghora, District- Korba (C.G.) for set up of the proposed project. Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation Limited Raipur has allotted 20.25 Acre of land on lease to M/s CG Power & Coal for establishment of coal washery, which is sufficient for the proposed installation of the plant. Cost of the proposed 2x2 MTPA Coal Washery is estimated as approx. Rs. 60.0 Crore. (ii) Brief description of nature of the project Coal washing and coal beneficiation processes are to be given major thrust in terms of developing strong research cells for developing better practices, suiting requirements of



all the coalfields of India. The coal 4,000,000 TPA is required for the project which will be sourced from SECL, Bilaspur, Korba (on DO basis/through E-auction). Coal Washery rejects will be given to CFBC Power plants located in the vicinity of the project. Hence there will not be any adverse impact on land environment due to the solid waste generation. (iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel. India is blessed with huge coal reserve, nearly 7% of total coal in the world, 85% of this reserve is non coking coal, which caters to the need of power, cement and sponge iron plants, however most of these reserve are of very low grade coal and the reserve of good quality coal is fast depleting. The Coal India Limited and its subsidiaries are the major domestic producers and suppliers of coal in India. The annual requirement of non-coking coal for various industrial sectors like power, steel and cement is increasing day by day. The reserves of low ash good coal are depleting and hence in order to fulfill industry’s demand, huge reserves of inferior grade coal are being mined. Due to higher demand, selective mining is not possible. The average ash in coal, now being supplied is around 37%.In order to maintain a consistent quality of coal as per the requirements of various customers of coal, it is necessary to set up coal washing plants in the country. Based on the above facts, it is felt that washing of coal in the present scenario shall help us in achieving the operational efficiency and better plant performance. Hence, washing of coal is in the national as well as regional interest. The use of washed coal has the following advantages:

1. Supply of consistent quality coal can be ensured thereby avoiding frequent adjustments in input to boiler and minimizing operators

2. Higher thermal efficiency of boiler and higher steam rate 3. Less wear and tear of the coal grinding mills 4. Lower capital and operating cost for installing smaller ESP 5. Higher productivity and campaign life of DRI kiln

Our proposed Coal Washery unit will generate revenues for the State Government by way of taxes on coal and benefit the local people by way of direct and indirect employment. This project is expected to yield a positive impact on the socio - economic environment of the region. It will also help in sustainable development of this area including further development of physical infrastructural facilities.



(iv) Demand - Supply Gap Ministry of coal identified coal washing as an important area aiming at value addition. To reap the benefits of economics as well as environment, Coal India limited is planning to expand the capacity of thermal coal. • Starting from 1774, India has a long history of commercial coal mining. Gross coal

resources ~ 286 BT of which 114 BT in proven category. Ash content very high, from 20 to 55% but low in sulphur content.

• 20 major coalfields located in east and south eastern quadrant of the country, involving long distance rail haulages for major consumers.

• The coal production is projected to reach 795 MTY in 2016-17 and further to 1500 MTY in 2031-32.

• Current coal demand ~ 770 MT and growing @ 6-7% per year to 980 MT in 2016-17 and further to 1800 MT in 2031-32.

Coal washing and coal beneficiation processes are to be given major thrust in terms of developing strong research cells for developing better practices, suiting requirements of all the coalfields of India. Various quality measurements should be put into place complying with India ISO standards, or any other globally accepted standards, even at the washeries/beneficiation plants operating at smaller capacities. Apart from such processes, focus must also be given to our mining practices and stringent norms and practices should be put in place for better mining practice, so as to avoid contamination at the beginning level itself. (v) Imports vs Indigenous production Imported coals contains much less ash but are costlier as compared to Indian Coal. India has huge resources of coal and by subjecting the coal to washing, low ash coal can be obtained at a cheaper rate than that of the imported coal. The quality of raw materials is key factor for effective plant operation.4 MTPA of raw coal will be sourced from various mines of SECL like Deepka, Gevra, Kushmunda and other mines located in Korba area on DO basis/E-auction basis. (vi) Export Possibility Not envisaged. Entire washed coal will be used in nearby industries. (vii) Domestic / Export Markets There is a huge requirement in both domestic and export for high grade washed coal. The coal will be supplied to nearby steel plants and thermal power plants as per the demand. (viii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project Industrialization uplifts the socio-economic standard of local people surrounding the plant site. Due to installation and operation of proposed coal washery of 2x2 MTPA capacity, considerable employment will be generated. During the construction phase



work will be generated for skilled, semiskilled and unskilled construction labors. Technical persons will be recruited during the operation phase. It is estimated to employ 48 people during phase I and 37 People during phase II of various skills. 3.

(iv) Size or magnitude of operation The total capacity of this proposed Coal Washery is 4 MTPA in two phases of 2 MTPA each. (v) Project description with process details (a schematic diagram/ flow chart showing the project layout, components of the project etc. should be given) The project envisages setting up of 2 x 2 MTPA Coal Washery with wet process. Process of Coal Washery: Raw coal from mines shall be transported to the coal washery by Tippers/dumpers. Trucks shall either dump coal into the ground hopper or on to the nearby ground dump from where the same shall be fed in the ground hopper. From the ground hopper the raw coal shall be fed to a Rotary Breaker for primary sizing of coal at 200 mm. The primary sized coal shall then be subjected to close circuit crushing and screening and finally sized to minus 50 mm. The sized coal shall be taken to a series of storage bunker. Raw Coal Receipt and Handling Arrangement: Raw coal in the size range 200-0mm, from the mines will be received by road transport. The stock pile will have a self-flowing capacity of 600-700 tons. In addition arrangements for stocking of raw coal to an extent of 2000 tons on the ground (close to the stock pile) will also be provided. A Payloader will be used for reclamation of coal from ground stock. Two mechanical vibratory feeders, 250 TPH each will be provided for reclamation of coal from the stock pile for feeding to the Reclaim conveyor of 250 TPH capacity; which will carry the coal to the screen cum crusher house. The reclaim conveyor will feed the coal to a vibratory screen for screening the coal at 50mm. The 200-50 mm coal will then be fed to a 1200 mm wide picking conveyer for picking/removing the shales/ stones which will be disposed off by trucks. The 200-50 mm coal form the picking conveyor, after removal of stones, will then be fed to a double roll crusher down to- 50mm. The crushed coal from the crusher and the 50-0mm undersize coal from the vibratory screen will be carried by belt conveyor to supply the coal to the washery. Washing Section Sized raw coal, (-) 50 mm., from bunker shall be transported to the washing plant building through belt conveyors where the same shall be fed into coal wetting launder where water shall be added with coal. Coal water slurry then shall flow through launder to a set of Desliming Sieve Bend and Screen to remove (-) 1 mm coal fines from the coal. Coal slurry collected from Desliming Sieve Bend and Screen under pan shall gravitate through pipes to a Fine Coal Sump.



Deslimed coal (Coarser fraction of (+) 1 mm) shall go from screen discharge chute to the launder. Magnetite media of required specific gravity shall be added at the back of the launder to get mixed with the coal and simultaneously to push the mixture of magnetite & coal slurry into the central column provided in the centre of the HM Cyclone tank. Coal & magnetite mixture from the centre column shall be pumped by Cyclone Feed Pump to feed to Heavy Media Cyclones. Cyclones are lined with high alumina ceramic tiles. Cyclone shall have overflow and underflow. Clean coal along with magnetite media shall be received as over flow from the cyclone and be fed to a set of Clean Coal Sieve Bend and Clean Coal Draining & Rinsing Screen. Magnetite media shall be drained through Sieve Bend and first part of the Screen and be collected in the screen’s dense catch pan. The same shall be re-circulated back to the washing system. The carried away magnetite with the coal particles shall be removed by water spraying in the discharge part of the screen. Magnetite removed from coal by water spraying shall be collected in the dilute catch pan of screen as dilute media, and be taken to dilute media tank Underflow of cyclone along with magnetite shall also be fed to a sieve bend & Reject screen. Magnetite media shall be drained through sieve bend and first part of the screen and be collected in the screen’s dense catch pan. The same shall be re-circulated back to the washing system. Carried away magnetite with the reject coal particles shall be removed by water spraying and be collected in the dilute catch pan of the screen and the same shall be taken to dilute media tank. Clean coal collected from discharge end of clean coal screen shall be dried in centrifuge and transported to clean coal storage shed through belt conveyor / or directly to clean coal storage bunker. Reject collected from the overflow of Reject Screen shall be transported to a reject bunker and from there to reject disposal area. Fine coal slurry collected in the fine coal tank shall be pumped into a set of classifying cyclone. The underflow of classifying cyclone shall be dewatered in Hi Frequency screen while the overflow from cyclone shall be fed to a Hi-rate Thickener. Thickened slurry from thickener shall be dewatered in a Multi Roll Belt Press filter. Anionic and Cationic Flocculants shall be used in thickener and Belt Press to facilitate settling and dewatering process. The discharge from Hi Frequency screen shall be mixed with washed coal. The discharge of belt press shall be dumped on the ground and shall be mixed with washed coal after weather drying.



Dilute media as collected in the Dilute Media Tank shall be pumped by a Dilute Media Pump to a Magnetic Separator Feed box. From there, the dilute media shall be feed to a Wet Drum Magnetic Separator. The Separators shall separate out magnetite from water and the dense media gets dislodged from the magnetic drum to the dense media launders and from there to the Heavy Media Tank. Effluent from the magnetic separator goes to fine coal tank through wetting launder. During the process of coal washing, some amount of magnetite gets lost, which shall be made up by adding fresh magnetite to the system. For this purpose, a magnetite addition RCC sump shall be provided where ground magnetite shall be charged and diluted with water. The dilute magnetite media then shall be pumped through a vertical sump pump to the Dilute Media Tank. Plant control shall be achieved by a centralised PLC based control system designed to enable one operator to start-up, monitor, and control and shut down all main equipment, and process functions from the feed input to the plant through to product transfer conveyors. The PLC shall have provision for hot standby. A UPS with hot standby back up shall be provided to take care of power tripping and fluctuations. All major items of equipment will be interlocked in an automatic stopping sequence within the PLC in such a manner that both material and liquid flows will always be fail safe. Stop push buttons will be located adjacent to each drive and will be operable at all times. An emergency stop button shall be located either in the control room or in the operating computer to enable the whole plant to be stopped. The density of the magnetite media shall be accurately controlled within the wide range to maintain required quality of the washed products. The density measurement shall be done by a nucleonic density gauge. Indication and recording of the density levels shall be given in the control room computer. The specific gravity control shall be achieved automatically by respective modulating splitter actuators. The Flow sheet of Wet Coal washing operation is given in Figure 5 and the plant flow sheet is given in Figure 6.

(vi) Raw material required along with estimated quantity, likely source, marketing area of final product/s, Mode of transport of raw Material and Finished Product Raw Material Requirement and its sources: Run of mines [ROM] coal will be the only raw material requirement for proposed washery. Annual requirement of proposed washery is envisages to the tune of 4,000,000 TPA after completion of Phase II. Mode of Transport for Raw materials and finished products: The coal will be sourced from Deepka, Gevra, Kusmunda and other coal mines of South Eastern Coalfield Limited (SECL), located in Korba area. Since the washery site is located close to the SECL mines in Korba and there is no existing railway siding in the vicinity of the proposed plant site, raw coal will be transported to the plant by road in covered trucks. Washed Coal and rejects will be supplied to Power plants, Cement Plants, and Sponge iron Plants. The mode of transport of washed coal will depend on the MoU with the customer who may have either road transport or rail. Nearest railway siding is available at Korba. The same may be used for transporting washed coal to industries located at far distances.In case, there is no rail facility available with the user industry, washed coal will be transported to the buyer's location by road in covered trucks. (vii) Resource optimization/ recycling and reuse envisaged in the project, if any, should be briefly outlined Rejects generated during coal washing process can be used for power generation in CFBC technology based power plants. Coal Washery rejects will be given to Power plants operating on CFBC technology in the vicinity of the proposed washery. Hence there will not be any storage requirement for the solid waste generation. This will help in resource optimization and minimisation of waste.



(viii) Availability of water its source, Energy/ power requirement and source should be given The total daily make-up water required for the proposed plant will be 1290 KLD which will be met through ground water from borewells. Permission will be obtained from CGWA for drawal of water for use in plant. The water balance for proposed 2x2 MTPA coal washery is given in Table 4.

Grand total 14823 (ix) Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid and solid) and scheme for their Management/disposal Solid Waste Generation: About 1.2 MTPA washery rejects will be generated during the coal washing process. The rejects can be used in CFBC power plants and hence, will be sold to the nearby CFBC power plants for power generation. There will not be any storage required for the coal rejects. No other solid waste is envisaged in the coal washing process. Wastewater generation: Total daily water requirement in the proposed coal washery is about 14,623 KLD. Out of this, about 13,333 KLD water will be collected as process effluent and will be treated in thickeners. The treated effluent will be reused in the coal washing process. Remaining 1290 KLD water will be lost as coal moisture, evaporation losses and process losses. The plant will operate on 'Zero Discharge Principal'. There will not be any effluent discharge from the coal washery plant. All the process effluent generated in the plant will be treated in thickeners and will be reused in the coal washing process. Domestic effluent from plant premises will be discharged in septic tanks followed by soak pits.



In view of conservation of water, rainwater harvesting will be carried out in the plant. Surface run-off from the plant area will be collected in a settling tank through a network of drains and the water will be used in the process, thereby reducing the drawal of ground water. Rainwater from roof tops will be collected in a rainwater harvesting tank and will be allowed to percolate to ground through a scientifically designed rainwater harvesting system. 4.
