Summary of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

98 percentile values of all parameters at all locations are within the permissible limits.

Anticipated Environmental Impact Identification, Prediction and Mitigation Measures

Ambient Air – Trend Analysis

The Trend Analysis for ambient air quality was based on data for the period of three years. The Linear

analysis shows that there is moderate increment in the parameters from December to January and then

decrease from February and the trend line flattens till the modelled period of December 2015. The

trends predicts that the pollutant levels would not increase higher level, although there may be further

increment in summer and lowering in the monsoon season.

Mitigation Measures

General Mitigation Measures for Air Quality Control during Operation Phase:

Greenbelt is developed at the facility for attenuation of pollution/protection of receptor through

greenbelt/green cover.

Regular monitoring of air pollutants concentrations.

Various air pollution prevention measures are proposed as mentioned below:

Floating Roof Tanks

Fixed cone roof tanks provided for some intermediates and light products have blanketing

arrangement with pressure relief valves.

Good Flare management

Fugitive Emissions & Control

Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is prepared with a view to facilitate effective environmental

management of the project, in general and implementation of the mitigation measures in particular. The

EMP provides a delivery mechanism to address potential adverse impacts and to introduce standards of

good practice to be adopted for all project works. For each stage of the programme, the EMP lists all

the requirements to ensure effective mitigation of every potential biophysical and socio-economic impact

identified in the EIA. For each impact or operation, which could otherwise give rise to impact, the

following information is presented:

Role of VPTL and its contractors;

A comprehensive listing of the mitigation measures (actions) that VPTL shall implement;

The parameters that shall be monitored to ensure effective implementation of the action;

The timing for implementation of the action to ensure that the objectives of mitigation are fully

met.

Specifically, project related management plans have been prepared for air, water, noise, soil, ecology

and biodiversity, occupational health and socio-economic conditions.


LTD. (VPTL)






Disaster management plan

The scope DMP is to identify all emergency scenarios, set out the basic principles of emergency response

for each of these scenarios, and to present the organization and the arrangements, which are in place

for the emergencies.

This DMP will apply to all emergency situations related to the associated operations in the petroleum

refinery and petrochemical complex at Vadinar Site. This Plan recognizes that the Incident Controller is

authorized to initially control and contains any and all emergency situations at the identified Vadinar

field incident site. The Emergency Response Group (ERG) Leader is authorized to control all emergencies

associated to the Vadinar field operations. The results of the Risk Assessment (RA) study are used in

the preparation of this DMP.

Conclusion

There is no change in Environmental impacts and Process Hazards & Risks. There is change in only

ownership; no change is sought in location, technology, process, products and environmental impacts

as approved by Ministry while granting EC in 2008 and as amended in 2013.

Compliances of the original EC conditions to be fulfilled by EOL, VOTL and VPTL against conditions to

be stipulated in the proposed ECs of the respective companies. This change is mainly sought for

operational reasons and for raising capital from financial institutions to complete the balance projects.

COMPLEX AT VADINAR, DISTRICT - DEVBHOOMI DWARKA, GUJARAT PROJECT DESCRIPTION


1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1 Purpose of the Report

M/s Vadinar Ports & Terminals Ltd. (VPTL), a subsidiary company of Essar Ports ltd. operates terminal

facilities at Vadinar, Devbhoomi Dwarka District, Gujarat to handle the receipt, storage, and dispatch

of crude oil and petroleum products for Essar Oil Vadinar refinery under a Petroleum Handling

Agreement. VPTL is proposed to take over the Terminal facilities (Storage and Handling of Crude &

products) from EOL.

MOEF has granted environmental clearance to M/s Essar Oil Ltd. On 20.07.2007 for expansion of

Refinery from 9.0 MMTPA to 60 MMTPA along with Petrochemical Complex at Khambhalia, Jamnagar,

Gujarat. Further MoEF vide letter no J-11011/320/2006 IA II (I) dated 16.09.2008 has bifurcated EC in

the name of two group companies (i) ESSAR Oil limited and M/s Vadinar Power Company Ltd. Now,

Project Proponent vide letter no EOL/ENV/MoEF/2015/491 dated 15th January, 2015 has requested for

trifurcation of environment clearance in the name of M/s Essar OIL Ltd., M/s Vadinar Oil Terminal Ltd.

And M/S Vadinar Ports & Terminals Ltd. Based on EOL’s request application dated: 15-01-2015, Ministry

invited us to present the proposal on 20-04-2015 in the 38th Expert Appraisal Committee (EAC). EOL

has made the presentation to the Hon’ble Committee members on 20-04-2015 and the Committee noted

that partition of environmental clearance has to be seen from operation angle in terms of enactment of

Environment implications. Therefore, the committee recommended that PP has to prepare three

different reports considering all the parameters.

This report presents compliance of Vadinar Ports & Terminals Limited’s to the TOR prescribed by the

MoEF for the trifurcation of the EC process. Subsequent to the completion of the report, EOL would

present before the EAC committee in compliance with the said TOR for consideration by the MoEF for

Environmental Clearance. This report factually documents the findings of the environmental and related

studies undertaken by The Consultant namely, Kadam Environmental Consultants (Kadam) as prescribed

in the ToR issued by the MoEF to EOL.

1.2 Identification of project and project proponent

1.2.1 Proposed Project

The current proposal is for taking over the facilities from EOL after the trifurcation of the Environmental

clearance granted in the name of EOL 60 MMTPA Capacity on Sept 16, 2008, and validity extended up

to 15.09.2018. GPCB granted CTE/NOC on 13.03.2009 and validity extended till 13.03.2019. CC&A

granted for 20 MMTPA and validity extended till 16.09.2016.Refinery has been operating at 20 MMTPA

Capacity for last 3 years. On obtaining the proposed EC, VPTL will get the CTE and CC&A from GPCB.

As part of business strategy, Storage of Crude & Products, Loading & Unloading Facilities of Refinery is

proposed to be handled by M/s Vadinar Oil Terminal Limited (VOTL) and M/s Vadinar Ports & Terminals

Limited (VPTL), Essar Group Companies. Refinery’s existing & proposed Process Units, Utilities,

Petrochemical Complex etc. will remain with M/s Essar Oil Limited.

The justification for the trifurcation includes:


LTD. (VPTL)






Global financial crisis impacted company’s projects in a big way. It compelled EOL to relook into

their investment plan.

To overcome this crisis, EOL proposed to trifurcate their Refinery complex into 3 companies viz,

Essar Oil Limited (EOL), Vadinar Oil Terminal Limited (VOTL) and Vadinar Ports & Terminals Limited

(VPTL)

Trifurcation will help in raising finances from banks for completing the balance projects as covered

in the original EC.

The proposed trifurcation requests for the following:

Only change in ownership is sought; no change is sought in location, technology, process, products

and environmental impacts as approved by Ministry while granting EC in 2008 and as amended in

2013

Compliances to be fulfilled by EOL, VOTL and VPTL against conditions to be stipulated in trifurcated

ECs of the respective companies.

This change is mainly sought for operational reasons and for raising capital from financial institutions

to complete the balance projects by each of the three companies as per the proposal.

1.2.2 Details about VPTL

details

2.9.1 Source

The source of water is sea water from the Gulf of Kutch. The entire sweet water requirement for the

refinery is met by Sea Water Desalination Plant. Total water requirement for VPTL after trifurcation will

be 1000 m3/hr and that will be sourced through EOL.

Effluent are collected in Collection pits and

Then taken to Pre-treatment units. After that,

It will be transferred to ETP in EOL. There,

It will be treated further.

Total 70 m3/hr of waste water generated by VPTL, It will be sent to ETP which is in EOL premise and

after treatment in waste water plant is recycled in RO plant and used for fire water storage and

horticulture.

2.9.3 Storm Water Management

Facilities proposed to be taken over by VPTL from EOL are located at Vadinar village in Dist. Devbhumi

Dwaraka in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state. Annual rainfall in this region for last 5 years is 214 –


LTD. (VPTL)






1374 mm (Average: 540.2 mm). Considering this criteria, refinery storm water management has been

designed.

The operational, utility, dispatch areas are all paved with concrete cement. Drains from these areas

are connected to main storm water drain which is connected to wastewater treatment plant.

Before onset of monsoon, all underground sewer lines are flushed with fire water, and above ground

channels/ drains are thoroughly cleaned for debris. At the onset of monsoon, the first flush of storm

water coming from Tank Farm areas, Dispatch areas to WWTP through Tank Farm area Pre-treatment

unit for treatment purpose. While subsequent flushes, clean rainwater, are allowed to bypass WWTP

and routed to main storm water drain which passes through a series of oil catchers where floating oil,

if any, is separated out. After final oil catcher, storm water goes outside of the refinery premises and

finally falls into sea after travelling a distance of 5-6 Km. approx.

During monsoon time storm water going outside premises is tested for main pollutants daily.

For monsoon period, a tasks force is set up for taking rounds of critical areas in day and night for

ensuring that only storm water goes outside refinery.

2.9.4 Oil Spill Management

Oil spill will be managed by following steps;

Notification of Spill

Communication to Environment Team

Survey Spill from safe distance

Material Identification from EIP & MSDS

Knowledge of Hazchem code

Oil Spill Equipment deployment

Deployment Strategy for spill response material and equipment

Protection of critical and sensitive area

Action for Containment (dyke formation)

Action for Recovery

Action for proper management of recovered product and contaminated soil.

Usage of Spill response Equipment and Material

Operators Preparedness and awareness

2.10 Air Emissions

2.10.1 Flaring system

VPTL facility consists mainly of petroleum products storage tanks of the existing plants and all storage

tanks for the expansion plants.

The main hydrocarbon flare stack is located in the EOL Refinery area outside VPTL facility and LPG Flare

is located in the VOTL area. There is no flaring requirement in the VPTL area at present. In future,

flaring requirements will be fulfilled by VOTL & EOL flaring facilities.


LTD. (VPTL)






2.10.2 VOC Recovery system

The storage tanks for crude oil, many intermediates and products are floating roof type. There will be

practically no vapor emission from the floating roof tanks.

Fixed cone roof tanks provided for some intermediates and light products have blanketing arrangement

with pressure relief valves.

Based on the above it is seen that VOC recovery is not applicable to the storage tanks in VPTL facility.

2.10.3 Fugitive Emissions & Control

The use of grafoil gaskets for blind flanges. None raising stem valves and raising stem valves with grafoil

packing, double mechanical sealing, tandem mechanical seals for better fugitive emission control in

petrochemical plant.

Observations

Average results of all parameters at all locations are within the specified limit.

3.3 Trend Analysis for Period of April 2012 to March 2015

Trend analysis is the process of comparing data over time to identify any consistent results or trends.

In environmental analysis trend analysis is taking past data and using it to project future results. In

environmental analysis it helps in developing a strategy to respond to these trends in line with you

environmental management goals. Trend analysis is a key component of many analyses of air pollution

data.

The impacts on air quality from any project depend on various factors like design capacity, configuration,

process technology, raw material fuel used, envisaged emission control measures, operation and

maintenance practices. Apart from the above, other activities, viz. transportation of raw materials and

products, storage facilities and material handling within the plant may also contribute to air pollution.

3.3.1 Analysis of Ambient Air Quality

Site specific data were compiled month wise and following Average AQM data tables were obtained for

further analysis.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES


4 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT

PLAN

4.1 Identification of Hazards

VPTL facility contains petroleum product tanks of the existing refinery and all the tanks of the 60 MM

TPA expansion plants. These tanks include the following:

Crude oil tanks (COT)

Intermediate & product tanks

In addition to the tanks, VPTL facility contains one existing gantry for road tankers and road/ rail gantries

for the expansion plant.

The hazards in VPTL facility are mainly flammable in nature – pool fire, jet fire, flash fire and vapour

cloud explosion.

4.2 Consequence Analysis

Detailed risk analysis for the process units falling within the scope of EOL has been carried out by Det

Norske Veritas (DNV), Hyderabad using the well-known DNV Phast software.

Review of the consequence analysis results shows that effect distances for maximum credible failure

scenarios such as 25 mm leak, tank fire and dyke fire are contained within the facility boundary.

However, effect distances for vapour cloud explosion/ heat radiation due to catastrophic failure of LPG/

hydrogen spheres extend well beyond the facility boundary. All necessary measures shall be provided

to prevent such catastrophic failures as indicated in the next section.

4.3 Action Plan for Risk Reduction

4.3.1 Introduction

The scope of this RA report covers risk mitigation measures based on Maximum Credible Accident

Analysis. The Fire & Explosion and Toxicity Indices were computed for the identification and screening

of vulnerable sections & consequences analysis was carried out for the accidental release scenarios of

hazardous chemicals. The overall objective is to compute the extent of damage distance in the event

of accidental releases of hazardous chemicals. The following section presents conclusion of RA Study of

risk mitigation measures.

4.3.2 Risk Mitigation Measures

Based on the above study conducted the following recommendations were suggested which are

enumerated as follows:


LTD. (VPTL)








Risk Reduction Measures & Recommendations

1. Layout and arrangement of the tanks shall conform to the requirements of OISD Standard 118 &

118 and approval of PESO/ CCoE.

2. Integrity of the dykes around the tanks shall be ensured with no openings or cracks through which

oil may flow out. Dyke drains should be provided with isolation valves which are ti be kept normally

closed. The outlet of drains from tank dykes should be connected to oil separation and collection

system to prevent oily water flowing into storm water drains.

3. All tanks should be provided with hazard labels conforming to NFPA standard.

4. Hydrocarbon gas and fire detection system should cover the tanks dykes, LPG/ propylene/ ethylene

tanks, pumps and loading gantries.

5. Reliable overfill protection system shall be provided for storage tanks independent of the tank

gauging system. The reliability of tank overfill protection system should be established by safety

integrity level (SIL) analysis. Highly reliable level instruments such as guided wave radar gauges

should be used. It is to be noted that large spills due to overfilling in naphtha, gasoline or other

similar tanks can lead to vapour cloud explosion and extensive damage.

6. The first body valve on tank outlet should be the remote-operated shut off valve (ROSOV) located

inside the dyke. Push buttons for opening and closing the ROSOV should be located outside the

dyke. Provision should also be made for closing the valve by push button in the control room. The

ROSOV should be fail-safe and fire-safe construction.

7. Quick shut off valves should be provided in the tanker filling stations.

8. Critical facilities (as mentioned in) including Tanks, spheres, etc. are provided with medium velocity

water spray systems conforming to OISD-STD-116. The water spray system should be automatic

based on temperature detection through thermal-sensitive bulbs.

9. Floating roof tanks should be provided with clean agent based fire suppression system with

automatic fire detection should be provided for rim seal. This is in addition to semi-fixed foam

system.

10. Floating roofs should be provided with adequate grounding system with low resistance to minimize

accumulation of static charges.

11. Suitable cathodic protection system is to be considered to protect the tank bottom plates against

external corrosion.

12. All ignition sources should be strictly controlled by following measures. Electrical hazardous area

classification. Provision of lightning arrestors. Bonding & grounding of piping and equipment. Use

of non-sparking tools. Provision of tested spark arrestors for vehicles and diesel engines.

Implementation of No Smoking rule.

13. Vents of fixed roof tanks should be provided with pressure/ vacuum relief valves and/or flame

arrestors as appropriate to the service.

14. Thermal safety valves shall be provided for pipeline sections having isolation valves at both ends to

prevent leakage due to hydraulic overpressure.

15. Control Rooms, sub-stations and Buildings to be a sufficient distance away from hydrocarbon

handling areas or of a suitable construction to withstand the effects of fire and explosion for

sufficient time to enable the operator to shut the plant down in a safe manner and effect all

evacuation and rescue operations.

16. Satellite buildings are to be provided with HVACs maintaining a positive pressure and adequate air

changes in the tightly shut-off buildings.


LTD. (VPTL)








17. Fire water network shall conform to the requirements of OISD-STD-116.

18. Spheres and bullets for pressurized storage of LPG/ propylene/ ethylene/ hydrogen at ambient

temperature have potential for BLEVE/ fire ball hazard. In order to avoid the possibility of

catastrophic rupture which may result in BLEVE/ fire ball causing substantial damage to the nearby

facilities and residential population, it is recommended to consider conversion of LPG, Hydrogen and

Propylene spheres to mounded bullets. Double wall tank also provides safe system for large capacity

storage of LPG/ propylene/ ethylene.

4.4 Fire Protection & Control

For VPTL operations, the Fire & Emergency Services will be taken care by EOL as per the

internal agreement after this Tri-furcation process.

pumps and 3 jockey pumps. Overall header pressure is consistently monitored and maintained.

Critical facilities including Tanks, spheres, etc. are provided with medium velocity water spray

systems.

Water Deluge system is provided in process areas based on auto & manual control for actuation in

case of fire. Systems are based on temperature detection through thermal-sensitive bulbs.

Fire and gas detection system shall be provided in all tank dyke areas and near pumps. Manual call

points will also provide in different places. The alarm panels for F&G system will be provided in

operation control room and fire control room.

Mutual aid system is also available.

4.5 Disaster Management Plan

4.5.1 Need for Disaster Management Plan

Hydrocarbons occupy an important segment of our economy and are also the source of large benefits

to the society. The hydrocarbon could be the source of potential danger to life, property and

environment, if not stored or handled properly. Some of the major disasters occurred at Bhopal, Mexico

and other parts of the world in the last few decades have made people all over the world concerned

about the dangers of chemical accidents. Thus, it is mandatory for each industrial establishment, isolated

storage installations and transporters to notify the persons working therein, the public and the

Government, regarding the details of the chemical being used or stored and the on-site emergency

preparedness in case of any such event. Occurrence of such accidents makes it essential for the Central

and State Government agencies as well as the local authorities to be prepared to help mitigate and

assist during such eventualities.


LTD. (VPTL)








It is the Company’s policy and corporate responsibility to ensure personnel safety, conserve natural

resources and the environment and protect property. In order to achieve the highest levels of safety it

is the Company’s policy to maintain and continuously improve the capability for a rapid and effective

response to all emergencies, which may affect its operations. In pursuit of this policy, the Company

recognizes that emergencies can occur in spite of rigorous and ongoing preventive measures. It shall,

therefore, prepare and revise DMP including emergency procedures, establish an Emergency Response

Group (ERG) to implement them, train the personnel for an emergency, liase with external organizations,

verify and update emergency procedures etc.

An onsite preparedness plan should indicate details of in-built safety measures, role of key persons

during such emergency situation, measures relating to declaration of emergency, disaster combating

procedures, evacuation of non-essential persons, rescue of affected persons, information system, mutual

aid, post emergency rehabilitation, long term clean up measures, to keep all concerned abreast of socio-

technical requirements.

If the effects of a chemical hazard are not restricted within the plant boundaries and are felt beyond the

premises, the situation warrants off-site emergency planning. In such scenarios, the action plan no

longer remains in control of the factory management alone, but also becomes a concern for the general

public living outside the commuters in the affected zone. To control such a situation, involvement of

local and district administration and law and order authorities becomes essential. Therefore, the district

magistrates of each district are given the responsibilities of preparation of off-site emergency plan for

their districts in command, based on the data submitted by the identified hazardous installation in the

area in their on-site emergency plan.

4.5.2 Objectives of Disaster Management Plan

A major emergency is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life. It may cause

extensive damage to property and serious disruption, both inside and outside a plant. Sometimes, it

requires the assistance of outside emergency services to handle it effectively. Although the emergency

may be caused by a number of factors, e.g. plant failure, human error, earthquake, vehicle crash or

sabotage.

The purpose of this DMP is to give an approach to detail organizational responsibilities, actions, reporting

requirements and support resources available to ensure effective and timely management of

emergencies associated to production operations in the site. The overall objectives of DMP are to:

Ensure safety of people, protect the environment and safeguard commercial considerations

Immediate response to emergency scene with effective communication network and organized

procedures.

Obtain early warning of emergency conditions so as to prevent impact on personnel, assets and

environment;

Safeguard personnel to prevent injuries or loss of life by protecting personnel from the hazard &

evacuating personnel from an installation when necessary

Minimize the impact of the event on the installation and the environment, by:

Minimizing the hazard as far as possible

Minimizing the potential for escalation

Containing any release


LTD. (VPTL)








This is achieved by:

Describing procedures to deal with emergencies affecting personnel, equipment, third party

contractors, local communities or the environment

Defining the roles and responsibilities of supervisory personnel, (at the site and site-base office)

Describing the external resources available to the ERG for use in an emergency and how these

resources will be coordinated

4.5.3 Scope

The scope of this document is to identify all emergency scenarios, set out the basic principles of

emergency response for each of these scenarios, and to present the organization and the arrangements,

which are in place for the emergencies.

This manual will apply to all emergency situations related to the associated operations in the petroleum

refinery and petrochemical complex at Vadinar Site. This Plan recognizes that the Incident Controller is

authorized to initially control and contains any and all emergency situations at the identified Vadinar

field incident site. The ERG Leader is authorized to control all emergencies associated to the Vadinar

field operations. The results of the Risk Assessment (RA) study are used in the preparation of this DMP.

The hazards are applicable at the time of petroleum refinery and petrochemicals production with

associate facilities. Vadinar site have been considered in the RA study.

4.5.4 Types and likely Causes of Disaster

Types of Disaster

Fire

Natural disaster such as hurricane, flood, cyclonic winds, acts of war, earthquake

Causes of Disaster

Various causes that can lead to the above-referred types of disaster are as follows:

a) In-plant emergencies due to deficiencies in system / malfunctioning / improper handling in:

Operations

Maintenance

Equipment failure

Design

b) Natural calamities like:

Cyclone/Storm/Gale/Flood

Lightning

Earthquake

c) Deliberate acts of man like

Sabotage

Riot

War


LTD. (VPTL)








The Civil Defense Plan will be operational in such cases. Most acts of such natural result in

Fire/Explosion and this aspect has been covered in the Disaster Preparedness Plan

d) Projectile hitting the facility

As the likely result from falling debris will be Fire/explosion and injuries and/or spurns, the plan

drawn for fire and explosion shall cover this aspect

4.5.5 Different phases of disaster

Warning Phase

Many disasters are preceded by some sort of warning. For example, with the aid of satellites and network

of weather stations, many meteorological disasters like cyclones and hurricanes can be predicted and

actions can be taken to eliminate/reduce their effect to counteract them.

Period of Impact Phase

This is the period when the disaster actually strikes and very little can be done to lessen the effects of

disaster. The period of impact may last for a few seconds (like fire, vapour leak) or may prolong for

days (tank on fire, catastrophic rupture, etc.). This is the time to bring the action plan in force.

The coordinators in organization structure will perform the responsibilities assigned to them. Needless

to emphasize that prompt and well organized rescue operations can save valuable lives.

Rescue Phase

The rescue phase starts immediately after the impact and continues until necessary measures are taken

to rush help and combat with the situation.

Relief Phase

In this phase, apart from organization and relief measures internally, depending on severity of the

disaster, external help should also be summoned to provide relief measures (like evacuations to a safe

place and providing medical help, food clothing etc.). This phase will continue till normalcy is restored.

Rehabilitation Phase

This is the final and longest phase. It includes rebuilding damaged property, estimating the damages,

payment of compensation, etc. Help from revenue/insurance authorities need to be obtained to assess

the damage, quantum of compensation to be paid etc.

4.5.6 Disaster Management Plan: Key Elements

Following are the key elements of Disaster Management Plan:

Basis of the plan

Accident/emergency response planning procedures

Onsite Disaster Management Plan

Offsite Disaster Management Plan


LTD. (VPTL)








4.5.7 Basis of the Plan

Identification and assessment of hazards is crucial for on-site emergency planning and it is therefore

necessary to identify what emergencies could arise in production of various petroleum products and

petrochemicals and their storage. Hazard analysis or consequence analysis gives the following results

Hazards from spread of fire or release of flammable chemicals from storage, production units and

transportation facilities

Hazards due to formation of pressure waves due to vapor cloud explosion of flammable gases

4.5.8 Emergency Planning and Response Procedures

Emergency rarely occurs therefore activities during emergencies; require coordination of higher order

than for planned activities carried out according to fixed time schedule or on a routine day-to-day basis.

To effectively coordinate emergency response activities, an organizational approach to planning is

required. The important areas of emergency planning are Organization and Responsibilities, Procedures,

Communication, Transport, Resource requirements and Control Center. Offsite emergency requires

additional planning over and above those considered under onsite plans, which should be properly

integrated to ensure better coordination.

The emergency planning includes anticipatory action for emergency, maintenance and streamlining of

emergency preparedness and ability for sudden mobilization of all forces to meet any calamity.

4.5.9 On-site Disaster Management Plan

Scenario of Fire

4.5.31 Evacuation and Rehabilitation

Safe Guarding General Public

An early decision is to be taken in many cases of industrial accidents to evacuate the people in the

surrounding area. In general, public in the nearby area will get very little time to save themselves. The

local population will have to be warned within a very short period. In case of major disaster, evacuation

is to be considered depending upon the nature of disaster.

Fire

In case of a fire, it will give more time to escape and generally the areas affected will be small. Effects

of a fire on population will be mainly due to thermal radiation. In such cases, people in the vicinity of

disaster location need to be evacuated, although a severe smoke hazard due to fire is to be reviewed

periodically.

Education

Educating general public about potential hazards associated with production and the necessary

actions to be taken in case of accidents will be one of the prime areas of Disaster Management Plan.

The following actions are proposed to educate the personnel.

Pamphlets and booklets containing industrial hazards associated with petroleum refining and

petrochemicals production should be prepared and distributed to the general public of the concerned

area

Notice boards should be put in strategic locations giving the above information

Help of voluntary organizations, local schools and colleges will be taken to conduct educational

sessions to make people aware of the actions in case of major emergencies

ESSAR Oil Limited has detailed Emergency Response and Disaster Management Plan as per PGNRB

Codes. The same plan will trifurcated after this process.

4.6 Mutual Aid Scheme
