Now, the industry has applied for obtaining renewal of Consent to Operate under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 and Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 for same production capacity along with requisite documents.
As per record file of the industry the previous consent fee under Water Act, 1974 is adequate upto 31.03.2024 and under Air Act, 1981 the fee is adequate upto 31.12.2026.
Now, the industry has deposited Rs. 1,91,300/- vide R. No. 331787198 dated 04.03.2024 under the Water Act, 1974 and Rs. 1,90,800/- vide R. No. 306015982 dated 04.03.2024 under Air Act, 1981 against the total cost of fixed assets is Rs. 4369.49 lacs as on 19.03.2024. The consent fee deposited by the industry is adequate upto 31/01/2028 under both acts after adjusting for NOC regularization fee.
The industry was visited by the officer of the Board on 22.03.2024 and it was observed as under: -
1. The industry is engaged in business of processing (slaughtering of chicken bird/ sheep/ Goat) and same was in operation during visit.
2. The industry has installed ETP consisting of collection tank, oil & Grease tank, equalization tank, flash mixer, flocculator, primary tube settlers (3 nos operating in parallel), MBBR -1, MBBR-2, MBBR-3, secondary tube settler (2 nos operating in parallel), Aeration tank 1 & 2, Tertiary tube settler (2 nos. operating in parallel), Chlorine contact tank, Pressure and filter, activated carbon filter (1 & 2) and the same was in operation during the visit.
3. The effluent samples was collected during earlier visit on dated 19.07.2023 and sample received from Board’s lab. The results of the same is reproduced as under:
Sr. No. Parameters Outlet of ETP Aeration Tank Prescribed Standards
1. pH 7.5 - 6.5 – 8.5
2. TSS (mg/l) 47 - 100
3. TDS (mg/l) 550 - -
4. COD (mg/l) 107 - -
5. BOD (mg/l) 17 - 30
6. SAR 4.1 - -
7. O&G (mg/l) 6.6 - 10
8. Mixed Liquid Suspended Solids (mg/l) - 1370 -
As per the analysis results all the parameter are within the prescribed limit of the Board.
4. The industry has developed plantation area in around 7.5 acres of area located along the bank of Basouli Drain. The industry has provided boundary wall along the drain and maintained a 40 feet barren corridor between the plantation area and the drain by reducing the area under plantation along the drain; thereby reducing the plantation area from 9 acres to 7.5 acres, which is adequate to take up the hydraulic loading of the treated effluent @ 296 KLD (TE= 280 KLD + DE= 16KLD).
5. The industry has maintained the plantation area and no substantial wild growth was observed. The industry has provided distribution pipeline network for the disposal of treated trade effluent in the entire plantation area.
6. The industry has installed online monitoring meters for monitoring of quantity of treated trade effluent and at the time of visit was noted to be BOD= 25.2 mg/l, TSS= 49.8 mg/l, pH= 7.5
7. The industry has installed electromagnetic meter at the source of water supply. The industry is maintaining the record of consumption of raw water, treated wastewater discharged and the electricity consumed for operation of ETP. As per the record about 275 KLD of fresh water is being abstracted daily and about 200 KLD of effluent is being treated daily in the ETP installed by the industry.
8. The industry has installed 02 boilers of capacity 01 TPH and 03 TPH, out of which one remains on standby. Both are wood fired and the industry has installed separate cyclone separators as APCDs, followed by common stack with boilers. The industry has submitted stack emission analysis results from Pvt. Lab dated 08.02.2024 as per which the industry is complying with the prescribed standards.
9. The industry has also installed 01 baby boiler of capacity 0.1 TPH, which is equipped with stack of adequate height. The baby boiler was also not in operation during the visit.
10. The industry has installed 02 no. of cookers capacity 5.5 T/batch and 3 T/batch, for rendering of meat waste after slaughtering. The industry has installed bio-filter as APCD with both the said cookers to control the odour generated from rendering process. The rendering process was not in operation during the visit.
11. The industry has installed 02 no. DG sets of capacity 500 KVA and 630 KVA, which are equipped with canopies and adequate stack heights.
