ECTS TITLE: SOP for VOC System Page 1 of 5

1. Scope:
This SOP is limited to safely and effectively carry out VOC system start-up/shutdown/operation for
discharging of Volatile organic compound to GIDC as per GPCB/CPCB norms.

2. Introduction:
Various contaminated effluents generated in the petrochemical complex is sent to ECTS plant to treat the
effluents and meet the GPCB/CPCB norms before discharge outside battery limit. The VOCs generated
from OWS effluent treatment System, CRW treatment System, Oily & Chemical sludge handling system,
Wet Slop oil handling system & Spent Caustic handling system. The VOCs from different effluent
treatment sections within battery limit is send to VOC Stack through ACH discharge to Atmosphere as
per GPCB/CPCB norms..

3. Principle:
VOC System start-up, shutdown and operation. This manual includes details of treatment philosophy,
equipment specification, start-up & stabilization procedure, shutdown procedure and safety
systems/parameters.

4. Design:
Design capacities of major equipment’s are tabulated below:

Description Design Capacity Quantity

VOC Blower 74-K-601A/B 2400 m3/hr 2 nos
Flame Arrestor 74-FA-01/02/03/04 804/612/639/2055 4 nos.
m3/hr
Activated Carbon Filter 2400 m3/hr 3 nos.
74-ACF-601 A/B/C

5. Safety:
Following mandatory PPE’s must be used for waste disposal system:-

Safety Shoes Safety Helmet Safety goggle Hand Gloves Ear Plugs

5.1. Safety& Health Hazards and Precautions:

HAZARD PRECAUTION
Leakage Ensure emergency safety shower, eye wash stations are provided
and is operational in all the areas for leakage of Hydrocarbon &
Carbon monoxide.
Ensure all equipment during maintenance that could unexpectedly
Electrical and start-up or release stored energy must be locked out and tagged out
Mechanical Hazards (LOTO) properly to protect against any accidental injury to working
personnel.
Permit system must be followed throughout any
maintenance/commissioning activities.

Ensure prompt disposal of cartons, crates and other flammable

Fire packing material and other debris from operational areas.
A fire extinguisher suitable to the type of fire needs to be provided at
various designated points in the plant.
Fire safety drill need to be periodically conducted for all operating
personnel.
Cut any grass or wild plantation inside battery limit
Snake bite Use flameproof torch while moving in night
Ensure proper illumination throughout plant area
