(iii) Annual leak testing for vapour collection shall be done.

Standards for Equipment Leaks

(1) Approach: Approach for controlling fugitive emissions from equipment leaks shall have proper selection, installation and maintenance of non-leaking or leak-tight equipment. Following initial testing after commissioning, the monitoring for leak detection is to be carried out as a permanent on-going Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) programme. Finally detected leaks are to be repaired within allowable time frame.

The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 408

(2) Components to be Covered: Components that shall be covered under LDAR programme include (i) Block valves; (ii) Control valves;

(iii) Pump seals; (iv) Compressor seals; (v) Pressure relief valves;

(vi) Flanges – Heat Exchangers; (vii) Flanges – Piping; (viii) Connectors – Piping; (ix) Open ended lines; and (x) Sampling connections, Equipment and line sizes more than 1.875 cm or ¾ inch are to be covered.

(3) Applicability: LDAR programme would be applicable to components (given at 2 above) for following products/compounds: (i) hydrocarbon gases; (ii) Light liquid with vapour pressure @ 20 o C > 1.0 kPa; and (iii) Heavy liquid with vapour pressure @ 20 o C between 0.3 to 1.0 kPa.

(4) While LDAR will not be applicable for heavy liquids with vapour pressure < 0.3 kPa, it will be desirable to check for liquid dripping as indication of leak.

(5) Definition of leak: A leak is defined as the detection of VOC concentration more than the values (in ppm) specified below at the emission source using a hydrocarbon analyzer according to measurement protocol (US EPA – 453/R-95-017, 1995 Protocol for equipment leak emission estimates may be referred to:

Component General Hydrocarbon (ppm) Benzene (ppm) Till 31 st Dec.

w.e.f.

January Till 31 st Dec., w.e.f January Other components 10000 3000 2000 1000

(6) In addition, any component observe to be leaking by sight, sound or smell, regardless of concentration (liquid dripping, visible vapor leak) or presence of bubbles using soap solution should be considered as leak.

(7) Monitoring Requirements and Repair Schedule: Following frequency of monitoring of leaks and schedule for repair of leaks shall be followed:

The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 409 Component Frequency of monitoring Repair schedule Quarterly (semiannual after two consecutive periods with < 2% leaks and annual after 5 periods with < 2% leaks) Repair will be started within 5 working days and shall be completed within 15 working days after detection of leak for general hydrocarbons. In case of benzene, the leak shall be attended immediately for repair.

Pump seals Quarterly Compressor seals Quarterly Pressure relief devices Quarterly Pressure relief devices (after venting) Within 24 hours Heat Exchangers Quarterly Process drains Annually Components that are difficult to monitor Annually Pump seals with visible liquid dripping Immediately Immediately Any component with visible leaks Immediately Immediately Any component after repair/ replacement Within five days -

(8) The percentage leaking components should not be more than 2% for any group of components monitored excluding pumps/compressors. In case of pumps/compressors it should be less than 10% of the total number of pumps/compressors or three pumps and compressors, whichever is greater.

(9) Emission inventory: Refinery shall prepare on inventory of equipment components in the plant. After the instrumental measurement of leaks, emission from the components will be calculated using stratified emission factor (USEPA) or any other superior factors. The total fugitive emission will be established.

The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 410

(10) Monitoring following types of monitoring methods may be judiciously employed for detection of leaks: (i) instrumental method of measurement of leaks; (ii) Audio, visual and olfactory (AVO) leak detection; and (iii) Soap bubble method.

(11) Data on time of measurement and concentration value for leak detection; time of repair of leak; and time of measurement & concentration value after repair of leak should be documented for all the components.

(12) Pressure relief and blow down systems should discharge to a vapour collection and recovery system or to flare.

(13) Open-ended lines should be closed by a blind flange or plugged.

(14) Totally closed-loop should be used in all routine samples.

(15) Low emission packing should be used for valves.

(16) High integrity sealing materials should be used for flanges. D. Emission Standards for VOC from Wastewater Collection and Treatment

(1) All contaminated and odorous wastewater streams shall be handled in closed systems from the source to the primary treatment stages (oil-water separator and equalization tanks).

(2) The collection system shall be covered with water seals (traps) on sewers and drains and gas tight covers on junction boxes.

(3) Oil-water separators and equalization tanks shall be provided with floating/fixed covers. The off-gas generated shall be treated to remove at least 90% of VOC and eliminate odour. The system design shall ensure safety (prevention of formation of explosive mixture, possible detonation and reduce the impact) by dilution with air/inert gas, installing LEL detector including control devices, seal drums, detonation arrestors etc. The system shall be designed and operated for safe maintenance of the collection and primary treatment systems.

(4) Wastewater from aromatics plants (benzene and xylene plants) shall be treated to remove benzene & total aromatics to a level of 10, 20 ppm respectively before discharge to effluent treatment system without dilution]. The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 411 Sr.

86. WATER QUALITY STANDARDS FOR COASTAL WATERS MARINE

OUTFALLS

In a coastal segment marine water is subjected to several types of uses. Depending of the types of uses and activities, water quality criteria have been specified to determine its suitability for a particular purpose. Among the various types of uses there is one use that demands highest level of water quality/purity and that is termed a ―designated best use‖ in that stretch of the coastal segment. Based on this, primary water quality criteria have been specified for following five designated best uses :- Class Designated best use SW-1(See Table 1.1.) Salt pans, Shell fishing, Mariculture and Ecologically Sensitive Zone SW-II (See Table 1.2) Bathing, Contact Water Sports and Commercial fishing. SW-III (See Table 1.3) Industrial cooling, Recreation(non-contact) and Aesthetics SW-IV (See Table 1.4) Harbour SW-V (See Table 1.5) Navigation and Controlled Waste Disposal The Standards alongwith rationale/remarks for various parameters for different designated best uses, given in Table 1.1 to 1.5 The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 485

Depending on the types of uses and activities, water quality criteria have been specified to determine its suitability for a particular purpose. Among the various types of users there is one use that demands highest level of water quality or purity and that is termed as "Designated Best Use" in that stretch of water body. Based on this, water quality requirements have been specified for different uses in terms of primary water quality criteria. The primary water quality criteria for bathing water are specified along with the rationale in Table 1. The Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 501 Table 1

PRIMARY WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR BATHING WATER

(Water used for organised outdoor bathing)

CRITERIA RATIONALE

Permissible) Permissible) To ensure low sewage contamination Fecal coliform and fecal streptococci are considered as they reflect the bacterial pathogenicity.

The desirable and permissible limits are suggested to allow for fluctuation in environmental conditions such as seasonal change, changes in flow conditions etc.

2. pH: Between 6.5 – 8.5 The range provides protection to the skin and delicate organs like eyes, nose, ears etc. which are directly exposed during outdoor bathing.

3.Dissolved Oxygen: 5 mg/l or more The minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 5 mg/l ensures reasonable freedom from oxygen consuming organic pollution immediately upstream which is necessary for preventing production of anaerobic gases (obnoxious gases) from sediment.

4.Biochemical Oxygen 3 mg/l or less Demand 3 day, 27 C:

The Biochemical Oxygen Demand of 3 mg/l or less of the water ensures reasonable freedom from oxygen demanding pollutants and prevent production of obnoxious gases.] [94. NOISE LIMIT FOR GENERATOR SETS RUN WITH DIESEL
