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. (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 he applicable to components (given at 2 above) for following products/compounds: (i) hydrocarbon gases; (ii) Light liquid with vapour pressure @ 20°C > 1.0 kPa; and (iii) Heavy liquid with vapour pressure @ 20°C between 0.3 to 1.0 kPa. (4) While LDAR will not he 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 leek: 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 :

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.][4.

Notes:
1. *In case of direct disposal into rivers and lakes, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) or State Pollution Control Boards/ Pollution Control Committees (SPCBs/ PCCs) may specify more stringent standards depending upon the quality of the recipient system.
2. **Standards for TDS and SAR shall not be applicable in case of marine disposal through proper marine outfall.
3. The treated effluent shall be allowed to be discharged in the ambient environment only after exhausting options for reuse in industrial process/ irrigation in order to minimise freshwater usage.
4. Any textile unit attached with the Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) shall achieve the inlet and treated effluent quality standards as specified in serial number 55 of Schedule-I to the Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 and shall also be jointly and severally responsible for ensuring compliance.
5. The standalone Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as per the MSME Development Act, 2006 shall meet the values specified above.
6. The standalone large scale units shall meet the values specified above; however, CPCB or SPCBs/ PCCs with the approval of CPCB, may mandate Zero Liquid Discharge in Large scale units in environmentally sensitive/ critical areas.
7. The TDS value with respect to treated effluent shall be 2100 milligramme per litre; however, in case where TDS in intake water is above 1100 milligramme per litre, a maximum contribution up to 1000 milligramme per litre shall be permitted provided the maximum value of 3100 milligramme per litre is not exceeded in the treated effluent.]
The special parameters are to be stipulated by the Central Board in case of Union territories State Boards in case of States depending upon the dye used in the industry. Where the industry uses chrome dyes. sulphur dyes and or phenolic compounds in the dyeing/ printing process, the limits on chromium of 2 mg/litre, sulphides of 2 mg/litre, and phenolic compounds of 5 mg/litre, respectively shall be imposed. Where the quality requirement of the recipient system so warrants, the limit of BOD should be lowered upto 30 according to the requirement by the State Boards for the States and the Central Board for the Union territories. A limit on sodium absorption ratio of 26 should be imposed by the State Boards for the the Central Board for the Union territories if the disposal of the effluent is to be made on land.7.

All efforts shall be made by the industry for ‘zero discharge’ of service wastewater, and in case,the industry prefers to discharge service wastewater, thefollowing norms shall be complied with:- |

Temperature |

||
D- Storm-Water |
|||
(i) Storm water for a plant, a unit (having plot size at least 250 square metres) shall not be allowed to mix with scrubber water, effluent and/or floor washings. (ii) Storm water within the battery limits of a unit shall be channelized through separate drain or pipe passing through a High Density Poly ethylene (HDPE) lines pit having holding capacity of 10 minutes (hourly average) of rainfall. |
|||
E- Guidelines for Solvent Losses |
|||
(i) the total losses of solvent should not be more than 5% of the solvent consumed, if solvent consumption less than 1000 tons/Annum; and (ii) the solvent loss should not be more than 3% of the solvent consumed, if solvent consumption greater than 1000 tons/Annum. |
|||
* The units shall meet the prescribed limits of heavy metals in treated effluent, however, in cases where heavy metal concentration in intake water is more than prescribed limits, State Pollution Control Boards or Pollution Control Committees may specify higher limits of heavy metals provided the maximum limits are restricted to the background limits of intake water. ** In case As is geogenic in ground water, the State Pollution Control Boards/Pollution Control Committees may relax the limit with respect to it appropriately, provided the built of As in waste water does not exceed 0.2 mg/l over and above the As in raw water and limit with respect to total heavy metals is maintained.] |
