2. In the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986,—
(i) in schedule I, after serial number 98 and the entries relating thereto, the following serial number and entries shall be inserted, namely :—
SI. No. | Industry | Parameter | Standard | ||
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | ||
|
|
| A. Emission Standards* | ||
"99 | Sponge Iron Plant (Rotary Kiln) | Particulate matter | Fuel Type Coal gas | Limiting value for concentration 100mg/Nm3 50mg/Nm3 | |
|
| Carbon Monoxide (VoL/VoL) | coal/gas | 1% | |
|
| Stack Height**(minimum) | coal/gas | 30.0 m | |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| Note: — * Emission shall be normalized at 12% CO2 in stack emission. ** Stack height shall be calculated as H=14.0 Q o3 where Q is emission of Sulphar Dioxide (SO2) in kg./hr. i.e. | |||
|
| SO2(kg/hr) up to 12.68 12.69—33.08 33.09—69.06 69.07—127.80 127.81—213.63 | Height (metre) 30 40 50 60 70 |
| |
| (De-dusting unit) | Particulate matter (mg/m3) | Exiting unit 100 | New unit 50 | |
|
| Note:— (i) Stack attached to de-dusting unit shall have minimum height of 30.0 metre. (ii) If, De-dusting unit is connected to After Burner Chamber (ABC), emission shall be emitted through common stack (minimum height 30.0 metre) having separate arrangements for emission monitoring for de-dusting unit. | |||
B. Fugitive Emission Standards | |||
(Rotary Kiln/De- dusting unit) | Particulate matter (ug/m3) | Exiting unit 3000 | New unit 2000 |
| Note:— (i) the existing industry shall comply with a standard of 2000 ug/m3 after one year from the date of notification, (ii) Fugitive emission shall be monitored at a distance 10.0 metre from the source of fugitive emission as per following : | ||
| Area Raw material handling area Crusher area Raw material feed area Cooler discharge area | Monitoring location Wagon tippler, Screen area, Transfer points, Stock bin area Crushing plant, vibrating screen, transfer Points Feeder area, Mixing area, Transfer points Over size discharge area, Transfer points | |
| Product processing area | Intermediate stock bin area, Screening plant, Magnetic separation unit, Transfer points, Over size discharge area, Product separation area, Bagging area | |
| Other areas | as specified by State Pollution Control Board/Pollution Control Committee | |
C. Effluent Standards | ||
| pH Total suspended solids Oil & grease Chemical oxygen demand | 5.5—9.0 100 mg/1 10 mg/1 250 mg/1 |
| Note:— (i) All efforts shall be made to reuse and re-circulate the water and to maintain 'Zero discharge'. (ii) Stormwater drain shall be provided within the premises of the industry so as to avoid mixing with effluent.". | |
