1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) is a premier public sector company in the Oil & Gas

sector and is engaged in the business of refining and retailing of petroleum products

including LPG in the country. It is the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune “Global

500’ listing ranked at the 119th position in the year 2015. IOCL is having about 129 POL

Depot/Terminals, 91 LPG Bottling Plants which serve every nook and corner of the

country. Indane (the trade name of LPG of IOCL) is supplied to the consumers through a

network of about 5,456 distributors (51.8% of the industry).The growth in demand of LPG

for domestic purpose is increasing at a rapid pace. To improve safety standards in

Petroleum Industry, Ministry constituted OISD which establishes standards/practices to be

followed in petroleum sector from time to time.

The latest version of OISD standard for LPG Plant is OISD 144. The OISD 144 has given

stipulation on safety distance to be maintained between different facilities in LPG Plant

and also it gives the minimum safety measures to be taken for LPG Plants. Also OISD 150

will be followed for mounded vessel. The OISD 144/150 is accepted by Industry and

safety council and Govt. of India has advised to implement the same in all LPG Plants

across the country.

The proposed project is new one and target time frame for nd commissioning of the

proposed project is 24 months from the date of granting Environmental Clearance (EC)

and allied approvals.

2.0 INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT

2.1 Identification of project & Project Proponent

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) proposes to construct 3 x 150 MT capacity

Mounded Storage Vessels at Umiam (V), Ri-Bhoi (D), Meghalaya. To meet the

increasing demand in the state.

2.2 Nature of Project

The growth in demand of LPG for domestic purpose is increasing at a rapid pace

everywhere in the country. In order to overcome increasing LPG demand, a

bottling plant is very much necessary to be established to cater LPG to the

customers and ensure that there would not be a shortfall in supplies and customers

will not suffer for LPG refills on any account. To cope-up with the increasing

demand of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) in future due to increase in its domestic

use, Public Sector Oil Companies are setting up new bottling plants as well as

augmenting their existing capacities. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) currently

has 89 bottling plants in the country to do such bottling.

The market penetration of LPG in the state of Meghalaya having population about

30 lakh as per census 2011 is only 22.8%. Pradhan Mantri UjjwalaYojana(PMUY)

scheme has been initiated in the state w.e.f. 19.06.2017 which will give boost to

LPG enrolments in the state and under this scheme the LPG demand is expected to

rise steeply in near future.

6

2.3 Need of Project

Presently, there is no bottling plant located in the state. The packed LPG demand is

met from the bottling plants at Sarpara, North Guwahati and Dhaligaon located in

state of Assam. In order to meet the increasing demand, there is requirement of

setting up a LPG bottling Plant in the state close to the main demand centre i.e.

Shillong.

In line with the requirement envisaged and to ensure fulfillment of demand,

Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has planned that different oil companies

should increase their storage and bottling capacity of LPG. Accordingly Indian Oil

Corporation Limited (IOCL) proposes to establish the LPG bottling plant and

construction of 3 Nos. of 150MT Mounded storage vessels each and bottling

capacity of 30,000 MTPA in single shift.

.

2.4 Demand Supply Gap

At present Meghalaya receives filled cylinders from Assam and to overcome any

delays in supply chain, it is proposed for LPG Bottling. This LPG bottling plant

will cater needs of Meghalaya and cover East Khasi Hills, West Khasi Hills,

Ribhoi, South West Khasi Hills, East Jayantia Hills and West Jayantia Hills

districts.

2.5 Employment generation

There will be a positive impact in creation of direct and indirect employment

opportunities due to LPGBottling Plant on local socioeconomic profile.

7

Construction phase: Employment generation as contractual basis and

involvement of unskilled labor will be more.

Operation phase:Indirect Employment generation in handling of cylinder,

transportation of cylinder etc for skilled / semi-skilled labors and drivers.

PROPERTIES OF LPG

LPG has been identified as 'hazardous chemical' as per Manufacture, Storage and

Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989/1994.

LPG marketed in India is governed by IS 4576 and test methods by is 1448. IS

4576 defines LPG as a mixture of light hydrocarbons derived from petroleum

which are gaseous at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure but may

11

be condensed to the liquid state at normal ambient temperature by the application

of moderate pressure.

LPG to be handled at the facility under study will be Propane - Butane mixture,

with small quantities of unsaturated hydrocarbons. LPG is highly flammable,

capable of producing fire and explosion hazards under certain conditions.

LPG at atmospheric pressure and temperature is a gas which is 1.5 to 2.0 times

heavier than air. It is easily liquefied under moderate pressure, Since LPG vapour

is heavier than air, it normally settles down at ground level/low lying areas. This

accumulation of LPG vapour gives rise to potential fire and explosion.

LPG has an explosive limit range of 1.8% to 9.5% by volume of the gas in air.

This is considerably narrower than other common gaseous fuel. Combustion of

LPG increases the volume of products in addition to generation of heat. LPG

requires about 24 to 30 times its own volume of air for complete combustion and

yields 3-4 times its own volume of CO2. The heat of combustion is about 10,500

Kcal/kg.

LPG is colorless both in liquid and vapour phase. During leakage, vaporization of

LPG cools the atmosphere and condenses the water vapour contained in it forming

a white fog. This makes possible to see an escape of LPG.

LPG has a low viscosity (around 0.3 C.S. at 45°C) and can leak when other

petroleum products cannot. This property demands a high degree of integrity in the

pressurized systems handling LPG to avoid leakage.

LPG has a very faint smell and as such for detecting leakage of LPG, ethyl

mercaptan is generally added in the ratio approx 20 part mercaptan per million

liquid LPG (20 ppm).

Although it is not poisonous in vapour phase, it suffocates when present in large

concentrations due to displacement of oxygen. Immediately Dangerous to Life &

Health (IDLH) value of LPG is generally taken as 115000 ppm.

HAZARDS OF LPG

LPG is approximately twice as heavy as air when in gas form and will tend to sink

to the lowest possible level and may accumulate in cellars, pits, drains etc.

12

LPG in liquid form can cause severe cold burns to the skin owing to its rapid

vaporization.

Vaporization can cool equipment so that it may be cold enough to cause cold

burns.

LPG forms a flammable mixture with air in concentrations of between 2% and

10%.

It can, therefore, be a fire and explosion hazard if stored or used incorrectly.

Vapour/air mixtures arising from leakages may be ignited some distance from the

point of escape and the flame can travel back to the source of the leak.

At very high concentrations when mixed with air, vapour is an anaesthetic and

subsequently an asphyxiant by diluting the available oxygen.

A vessel that has contained LPG is nominally empty but may still contain LPG

vapour and be potentially dangerous. Therefore treat all LPG vessels as if they

were full.

However, in case of non existence of any source of fire there will be no occurrence

of hazardous event and the cloud may get diluted to such a level that the mixture is

no longer explosive.

IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)

Sr. No. Property Remark

1. Appearance and Odour Colourless and odourless gas when

pure. Normally marketed with

mercaptanodouring agent.

2. Composition Mixture of commercial propane,

butane and unsaturated

hydrocarbons.

3. Liquid Density 500 to 580 kg/m3 at 15 deg. C

depending on composition

4. Vapour Density 1.5 to 2.0 times heavier than air.

13

5. Boiling Point - 50 to -0.5 deg. C.

6. Flammability Limits in Air LFL - 1.9% V/V.

UFL - 9.5% V/V.

7. Permissible Exposure Limit-

OSHA Standard

1000 ppm (1800 mg/m3 )

Different types of combustion reactions associated in case of release of LPG from

the containment are listed in the following sections.

Escaping jet of LPG from pressure vessels / piping, if ignited, causes a Jet flame.

The jet flame direction and tilt depend on prevailing leakage direction and

velocity. Damage, in case of such type of jet fires, is restricted within plant

boundary. However in case of mounded vessel there will be no question of such

occasion.

There are two more situation of LPG fire. One is Boiling Liquid Expanding vapour

explosion (BLEVE)and unconfined Vapour cloud explosion (UVCE). BLEVE is

not possible in mounded bullet. However, in second case, plants having a layout as

per OISD recommendation, maintaining of Safe operating Practice and other

precautionary measures, the above event can be avoided.

SAFETY PHILOSOPHY

LPG is a common material used extensively in households as well as industry. If

its characteristics are understood well and proper precautions as stipulated in

various codes and standards are followed, it is an easy and safe material to handle.

Accordingly, in most of the developed / developing countries, where LPG is

consumed in million tons / year, specific codes and standards are available for

storing and handling of LPG.

LPG INSTALLATIONS - CODES & STANDARDS

Codes and standards which are generally followed for LPG installations are as

follows:

1. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association of USA) Standards

14

- NFPA-58: Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied

Petroleum Gases

- NFPA-59: LP-Gases at Utility Gas Plants

2. API (American Petroleum Institute) Standards

- API-2510: Design & Construction of LPG installations

3. IP (Institute of Petroleum) Standards.

- IP-9: Liquefied Petroleum Gas - Large Bulk Storage of Pressurized

and Refrigerated LPG

4. The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 1981 of India

(SMPV Rules)

5. OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) Guidelines

- OISD RP-158: Recommended Practices on Storage and Handling of Bulk

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), 1997. (This is being followed by Public

Sector Refineries and Oil Industry in India. It is currently a guide and not a

mandatory code or standard).

LPG storage tanks like any other pressurized vessels may be designed as per any

of the following well known international or local codes / standards:

- ASME, Section VIII, Division I

- ASME, Section VIII, Division II
