1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This is Storage capacity enhancement project of Existing IOCL LPG bottling Plant from 2000

MT to 4400 MT at Village Tabiji, Beawer Road, NH-8, District- Ajmer (RJ) – 305001.This project

falls under item no. 6 (b): Isolated storage & handling of hazardous chemicals under the

category “B” (general conditions apply) as per the EIA notification

2006 and its amendments. The proposal will increase LPG storage capacity and enhance from

3.5 days cover to 5.5 days cover.

2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

2.1 Identification of the Project and Project Proponent

M/s Indian oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), a Government of India Undertaking, is engaged in

Refining, Storage and Marketing of Petroleum Products. Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL)

is a leading government owned PSU in India. Due to its strong presence in the market for long

time, it has acquired a sizeable share in the Indian market. The company has already setup

many bottling plants all over India. The LPG Bottling Plant is situated in Village Tabiji, Beawer

Road, NH-8, District- Ajmer (RJ) – 305001, the present setup has a bottling facility spread over

area of 30 acres for LPG cylinder filling. It is engaged in receiving bulk tankers from GAIL

through Pipelines and from Koyali through trucks etc. The bulk tankers are unloaded into three

storage vessels of total 2000 MT (3x600 mounded bullets & 2 x 100 above ground auto lpg

bullets) capacities. Plant is having Tank truck decantation unit with six bays each having

unloading arms. IOCL LPG bottling Plant Ajmer supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic

filled cylinders in seven revenue district of Rajasthan.

2.2 Brief Description of nature of the Project

The proposed LPG storage capacity enhancement of LPG bottling plant from 2000 MT to 4400

MT by constructing new 2 X 1200 MT Mounded Storage Vessels within existing plant premises.

LPG will be coming to the Plant from GAIL through Pipelines and from Koyali through trucks etc.

This is being stored in bullets then filled in various capacities of the cylinders within the plant

and sold (dispatched) to the distributors and direct customers.

2.3 Need for the Project and its importance

Based upon LPG consumption scenario, need is felt to enhance the LPG storage capacity at

Ajmer LPG Bottling plant. To achieve the same, IOCL LPG Bottling Plant proposes to install two

new mounded storage vessels of capacity 1200 MT each. This will improve the storage capacity

of LPG at existing plant with enhanced cover from 3.5 days to 5.5 days and distribution network.

Moreover Mounded Storage Vessel is the safest and proven storage in vogue.

2.4 LPG Import

At IOCL LPG Bottling Plant Ajmer, LPG is being received from GAIL through Pipelines and from

Koyali through trucks.

2.5 Cylinder Supply

IOCL LPG bottling Plant Ajmer supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic filled cylinders in

seven revenue districts of Rajasthan.

2.6 Employment Generation due to the Project

The proposed Expansion project will provide indirect employment to about 30-40 persons during

the construction phase and also in transportation during construction phase.

3. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Type of the Project

This is Storage capacity enhancement project of Existing IOCL LPG bottling Plant from 2000

MT to 4400 MT at Village Tabiji, Beawer Road, NH-8, Ajmer, Rajasthan. This project falls under

item no. 6 (b): Isolated storage & handling of hazardous chemicals under the category “B”

(general conditions apply) as per the EIA notification 2006 and its amendments. Plant layout is

given in Figure-1.

3.2 Project Location

The Project site is located at Village Tabiji, Beawer Road, NH-8, District- Ajmer (RJ) – 305001.

The distance between project site & Ajmer city is 10 KM. Google map showing Ajmer Bottling

Plant is given in Figure-2 & Figure-3.

3.3 Process Details

At Ajmer Plant, LPG is being received from GAIL through Pipelines and Non Domestic and Auto

LPG is received through Truck Tankers of generally 17 MT capacities from Koyali. There is a 6

bay gantry for unloading/loading of LPG. Further it is stored in Mounded bullets 3 X 600 MT and

2 X 100 MT Above ground Bullets. Maximum existing inventory of LPG at the plant is 2000 MT.

Plant operates in two shifts. LPG from Bullets is pumped with the help of LPG pumps to

electronic carousel for cylinder filling operation. Domestic and Commercial cylinders of sizes 5

Kg, 14.2 kg & 19 kg, 47.5 kg are filled. 450 kg cylinder filling is also proposed. IOCL LPG bottling

Plant supplies packed LPG domestic & non domestic filled cylinders to the seven revenue

districts of Rajasthan.

Defective cylinders are segregated for correction before dispatch to the market.

All standard operating procedures are followed as per OISD and best engineering practices.

3.4 Risk Analysis and ERDMP

Since plant is having Hazardous chemical inventory exceeding threshold quantity as per MSIHC

Rule-1989, amendment 2000”. Quantitative Risk Analysis and DMP report has been prepared and

updated regularly. Same shall be reviewed and updated with augmented facility. ERDMP report

has also been prepared and shall be in compliance with PNGRB regulations-2010.

3.5 Liquid Waste Management

There is no manufacturing process as it is only storage and filling plant hence there will be no

generation of Effluent. Sewage will be treated through septic tanks and soak pits. Effluent from

Cylinder washings and soap solution/Lubricant used for conveyor belt will be treated in effluent

treatment plant and treated water will be used for gardening purpose.

3.6 Hazardous and solid waste Management

There will be no generation of any hazardous waste by the plant. Only used oil from DG sets, etc.

shall be stored and disposed to authorized recyclers as per Hazardous and Other Wastes

(Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. Total Solid Waste Generated from the

proposed facility will be disposed through pollution control board approved vendor.
