1.3 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND ITS IMPORTANCE
Oil marketing companies have projected an increase in demand of Liquefied Petroleum
Gas (LPG) in future due to increase in its domestic use. The demand is likely to increase
substantially over the years to come. Oil PSUs have planned enrollment of new customers
to saturate the demand potential as per directive of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural
Gas, Government of India.There is an urgent need for expansion of the capacity of the
Plant to meet the increasing demand of LPG in the state of West Bengal.
Importances of the project are identified as follows:
Govt. of India had ventured into promotion of LPG as a cooking fuel in the Country
since more than 4 decades
Proposed additional storage facilities 3X300 MT Mounded storage vessel at Village - Panishalahat, Raiganj, Dist - Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Page 9
Demand of LPG products has increased with willingness of people for use of
alternative fuel for cooking.
The proposal shall help to cut down on pollution and reduce deforestation
The proposed project is meant for widening distribution network of LPG in West
Bengal.
In order to meet the increasing demand, BPCL proposes to increase the storage &
filling capacity of their existing Plant at Raiganj.
The proposed project is meant for widening distribution network of LPG in West
Bengal.
The project will directly generate some employment both during construction and
operation phase and some indirect employment is also likely to be generated due
to this project. This will help to enhance the economic condition of this region.
Govt. of India has ventured on a program to increase the use of domestic LPG in
the rural areas by launching Rajiv Gandhi Gramin LPG Vitarak program from 2009-
10 and PMUY from May 2016 with a target to increase the use of LPG to 80% of the
population.
Proposed project shall be able to meet the increasing demand of LPG cylinder in
the region.
The project will help for further development of infrastructure facilities in the
region.
1.4 ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
In the year 2009 the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has developed a
Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) and revised the same in
subsequent yearsupto April, 2016. It involved a nation-wide environmental assessment of
Industrial Clusters based on CEPI and 43 such industrial clusters in 16 States having CEPI
greater than 70, on a scale of 0to 100, has been identified as Critically Polluted Area
(CPA).
The project location at Raiganj, West Bengal does not fall in the list of 43 Critically
Polluted Area (CPA) identified by CPCB. Hence, carrying out expansion work at
Raiganjbottling plant shall not constitute any statutory binding related to existing
environment in and around the proposed project.

1.6 DEMAND & SUPPLY
Past Consumption Pattern
LPG is largely used as a domestic fuel in India for cooking and to a lesser extent, as an
industrial and commercial energy source. It is also a relatively cleaner alternative for
automobiles compared to petrol and diesel. LPG consumption in India has more than
doubled over the last decade.
Future Demand – Supply Projections
LPG will continue to remain a dominant fuel for cooking and heating for Indian
households; with Government of India’s ambitious Plans to increase use of LPG and
reduction in quota of kerosene. It is expected that there will be a shift in fuel usage
pattern in rural sector and dependence on conventional cooking fuels like biogas, wood
and kerosene will go on reducing consistently.
As per Vision 2015 Document of MOP & NG, GOI, the LPG penetration has to be
increasedso as to achieve 80% penetration of LPG by 2018-19.
1.7 LEGAL ASPECTS
The relevant NOC’s and licenses will be obtained from the statutory agencies under the

Mounded Storage For LPG
LPG is normally stored in above ground storage mainly spheres and cylindrical bullets,
namely, bullets & Horton spheres, the advantage being their accessibility for regular
inspection and maintenance which is important for such storage for hazardous service.
But these storages are susceptible to fire impingement and can give rise to Boiling Liquid
Expanding Vapour Explosions (BLEVE).
The reason for selecting mounded or buried bullets for LPG storage is to protect them
from direct flame impingement caused by any eventual fire in the surroundings and thus
prevent initiation of the sequence of events leading to an occurrence of BLEVE.
The mounded storage concept basically originated from Europe and specialized codes
exist in Germany such as:
Proposed additional storage facilities 3X300 MT Mounded storage vessel at Village - Panishalahat, Raiganj, Dist - Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Page 34
DIN 4681 Tl: Statutory Steel Pressure Vessels for Liquified Petroleum Gases for Earth
Covered Installations, Dimensions and Equipment. During construction phase, a slight
increase in the ambient noise levels is anticipated. This impact will be temporary and
limited to the construction phase. Hence, no permanent impact on this account is
expected. During the operational phase, no major social impact in the general area is
expected. There will be no change in the occupational structure of the workforce. As there
will be no emissions into air, no liquid effluents and no solid wastes no negative impact on
the health of the inhabitants in and around the project site is expected.
Storage vessel will have at-least two pressure relief valves. The full flow capacity of
Pressure Relief Valves (PRV) on mounded vessels may be reduced to not less than 30% of
the capacity required for an equivalent size of above ground vessel. For safety reasons,
the discharge of Pressure Relief Valves shall be connected to flare system. In this case
Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) shall have lock open (or car seal open) type isolation valves
on both sides of Pressure Relief Valve.
The Pressure Relief valves will be tested and calibrated every year by a competent person
and records will be maintained.
All lights in LPG storage area will be flame proof to electrical hazard.
Leak Detection: Gas Monitoring System:
The system consists of gas detecting sensors with a control panel and audio / visual
alarms. The sensors will be located at sensitive or potential hazard areas in the plant with
two audio alarms at security room and filling shed to alert workmen regarding the risk
and continuous monitoring / recording in PC at control room.
Proposed Leak Prevention / Minimizing:
Air / Vapour Extraction System: It is basically a blower with ducts extended to different
operating points in filling shed. The blower extract any leaking LPG vapour from the floor
level and cold flares the same to free atmosphere at LPG cylinder filling shed.
Remote Control Valves:
These are electro – pneumatically operated quick shut off valves provided on LPG
pipelines with actuating points located remotely and nearer to operating facilities in
Proposed additional storage facilities 3X300 MT Mounded storage vessel at Village - Panishalahat, Raiganj, Dist - Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Page 35
plant. When actuated, the valves will close within 25 seconds, starving the LPG flow in
pipelines. The ROV’s will be installed at the following locations:
Storage bullets Liquid &Vapour lines
TLD liquid lines
LPG Pump out let lines near filling shed
ROV’s Interlock with High Level Alarm
All LPG bulk mounded vessels will be fitted with High Level Alarm switches which gives
alarm when product reaches 85% of its volume. A signal will be taken from HLA to
actuate the ROV to close which will stop the flow of liquid into vessels. This stops the over
filling/flowing of LPG into vessels.
Supervision by trained person during unloading for proper opening of desired
valves.
Ensure proper safe operating procedures to be followed.
Unloading Arm should be tested hydraulically once in year and maintained in good
conditions. If possible self sealing coupling to be used.
Clean strainer periodically.
Clean piping at regular interval.
Provide LPG detectors at strategic locations.

CHAPTER 7: ANALYSIS OF PROPOSAL
7.1 F INANCIAL AND S OCIAL BENEFITS
Financial and social benefits with special emphasis on the benefit to the local
people including tribal population, if any, in the area
Proposed expansion of LPG bottling plant will result in growth of the surrounding areas
by increasing direct and indirect employment opportunities in the region including
ancillary development and supporting infrastructure. Special emphasis on financial and
social benefits is being given to the local people in the area.
Development of social amenities will be in the form of medical facilities, education to
under privileged and creation of self-help groups.
Medical facilities: Medical facilities will be provided for employee as well as people of
nearby villages through medical camps.
West Bengal state will get revenues in terms of taxes and local people will get direct &
indirect employment. Business opportunities for local community will be available like
transport of materials during construction, house-keeping contract work, supplying
goods, food to people etc.
7.2 ENVIRONMENT FRIENDLY PROJECT
This plant strictly functions as LPG storage & bottling facility, there will not be any green
house emission arising due to the plant activities, minimal green house gases will be
emitted due to operation of DG-Sets during power failure & due to vehicular movement,
only well maintained PUC certified vehicles will be allowed inside the plant premises
thereby reducing the pollutants. Further it would be more pertinent to note that the
inception of the plant will improve the penetration of LPG in rural areas by
complementing various GoI schemes like Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, which are
aimed at creating Smokeless villages & reducing green house emissions.
Air Pollution Control
No emissions will be generated during the operations as the entire bottling process is
carried out through pipelines from Storage Area to Filling Shed. The only point sources of
Proposed additional storage facilities 3X300 MT Mounded storage vessel at Village - Panishalahat, Raiganj, Dist - Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Page 49
emissions will be D.G sets & Fire Engines. They have been fitted with stacks of adequate
height to disperse the pollutants.

Fugitive Emission details
During Construction Phase
A certain amount of particulate matter will be generated during the construction phase of
the expansion of LPG bottling plant. However, the suspended particulate matter in
ambient air as a result of construction activities may be relatively coarse and will be
settled within a short distance. Therefore, the impact will be restricted to the close
vicinity of the construction activity. Further, for construction the proposed LPG bottling
plant, construction activities will be taken place for 12 months only, therefore, impacts
will be observed for short period and reversible in nature.
During Operation Phase
During operation of the proposed LPG bottling plant, there will not be any process
emission sources. No emissions will be generated during the bottling operations as
the entire bottling process will be carried out closed circuit through piping from
unloading and storage area to filling shed.
The Very small quality of fugitive emissions of hydrocarbon may result from
unloading hose, faulty bottling, leaking cylinders and minor leaks. Gas detectors are/
will be placed at the LPG plant at strategic locations to detect the concentration of
hydrocarbon in the premises.
DG sets installed at the LPG bottling plant will be operated occasionally in case of
power failure and there will not be any regular source of gaseous emissions at the
proposed LPG bottling plant.
Vehicular Emissions from LPG Plant.
Proposed additional storage facilities 3X300 MT Mounded storage vessel at Village - Panishalahat, Raiganj, Dist - Uttar Dinajpur, West Bengal
ABC Techno Labs India Pvt. Ltd. Page 50
As an estimate 50 – 60 trucks reachthe LPG plant for unloading of LPG and
distribution cylinders to authorized dealers in the area.
Solid and Hazardous Waste Generation
No industrial solid waste generated during the bottling process. Damaged cylinders
are segregated & stored on site prior to disposal as scrap metal.
Hazardous waste generated from D.G set operation disposed to WBPCB Authorized
Recyclers.
Waste Water Management
No industrial waste water generated from the bottling Plant.
Water used for washing is being recycling for development of green belt, and hence,
no wastewater discharged from the plant premises.
Domestic wastewater (3 KLD) generated from the plant treated in septic tanks and
soak pits. Sewage is disposed through septic tanks & soak pits (1 nos.) of dimensions
2m x 1.5m x 1.5m.
Noise Pollution Control
The major sources of noise pollution from the LPG plant are the DG set for which
acoustic enclosure is installed.
Also ambient noise levels ensured within the ambient standards by inbuilt design of
mechanical equipment and building apart from vegetation (tree plantations) along the
periphery and at various locations within the existing LPG plant premises.
Green Belt Development
Out of the total plant area; 6.3 Acres (approx. 33 % of the total plant area) is covered
under greenbelt/ plantation in order to reduce dust and noise pollution levels and to
increase aesthetic beauty of the area.
Green belt along with the road & plant boundary already developed.
Local species planted as per CPCB guidelines.
Rainwater & Storm Water Drainage Network
Storm water drains are placed along all sides of sheds and other Annex buildings in the
plant. All drains are connected through vapour trap before releasing any waste water
from the plant. A new Rain water harvesting pond will be created of 22 m x 22m.

Safety Philosophy
LPG is a common clean fuel used extensively in households as well as industry. If its
characteristics are understood well and proper precautions as stipulated in various codes
and standards are followed, it is an easy and safe fuel to handle. Accordingly, in most of
the developed /developing countries, where LPG is consumed in million tons / year,
specific codes and standards are available for storing and handling of LPG.
LPG Installations - Codes & Standards
Codes and standards which are generally followed for LPG installations are as follows:
NPPA (National Fire Protection Association of USA) Standards - NFPA-58: Standard
for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied Petroleum Gases - NFPA-59: LP-Gases at
Utility Gas Plants
API (American Petroleum Institute) Standards - API-2510: Design & Construction of
LPG installations
IP (Institute of Petroleum) Standards - IP-9: Liquefied Petroleum Gas - Large Bulk
Storage of Pressurized and Refrigerated LPG
The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016 of India (SMPV Rules).
OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) Guidelines - OISD RP - 158: Recommended
Practices on Storage and Handling of Bulk Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), 1997. (This
is being followed by Public Sector Refineries and Oil Industry in India. It is currently a
guide and not a mandatory code or standard). LPG storage tanks take any other
pressurized vessels may be designed as per any of the following well known
international or local codes / standards:
ASME, Section VIII, Division I
