TITLE :AIR QUALITY ANALYSIS IN SURROUNDING OF A REFINERY PLANT- IOCL PANIPAT REFINERY AND PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEX (CASE STUDY)
ABSTRACT: A Petroleum refinery is a plant where crude oil is refined into useful products such Petroleum, kerosene, Diesel, LPG etc. Further, the refining process releases a number of different chemicals into the atmosphere and makes it polluted. Away from air pollution there are also wastewater concerns, risk of industrial accident such as fire and explosion, and noise pollution. So, as a concern of Environmental and safety, the analysis of various environmental impacts on the surrounding of a refinery plant is necessary. In my study report, I have analyzed various parameters as per to check the quality of air in the surrounding of a refinery plant. IOCL Panipat Refinery and Petrochemical Complex is taken as case study. Parameters are observed to check the quality of air in the surrounding of this refinery plant. 10 KM radius is considered as a study area. Total eight sites (Khandra, Baholi, Rajapur, Baljatan, Assankalan, Untala, Bhalsi, Sherah) are selected to analyze Air Quality. Samples are collected from these sites at weekly interval of time basis in three months period i.e from 1 January 31 march in the average of at least four times from each site. Collected air samples from different eight locations are analyzed for SO2, NO2, PM10, PM2.5 & CO in the laboratory and observed within limit as prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) & Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB).
KEYWORDS:air pollution, EIA, refinery plant, petrochemical complex, IOCL Panipat surrounding.
