Dear Anoop,
Pls find herewith factory rules of Solvent plant on MP and these are general rules followed by factories in M.P
(a) “Solvent Extraction Plant” means a plant in which
the process of extracting oils and fats from vegetable
and animal sources by use for solvents is
carried on;
(b) “Solvent” means an inflammable liquid such as
pentane, hexane and heptane used for the extraction
of vegetable oils;
(c) “Flame proof” enclosure as applied to electrical
machinery or apparatus means an enclosure than
will withstand, when covers or other access doors
are properly secured, an internal explosion of the
flammable gas or vapour which may enter or which
may be originally inside the enclosure without
suffering damage and without communicating
internal inflammation for explosion to the external
flammable gas or vapour.
(d) “Competent persons” for the purpose of this
schedule shall be at least a Member of the
Institution of Engineers (India) or an Associate
Member of the said Institution with 10 years experience
in a responsible position as may be
approved by the Chief Inspector.
Provided that a Graduate Mechanical Engineering or
Chemical Technology with specialised knowledge of
oils and fats and with a minimum experience of 5 years
in a solvent extraction plant shall also be considered
to be competent person.
Provided further that the Chief Inspector may accept
any other person having suitable qualification and
experience as a competent person for the purpose of
this Schedule.
2. Location and Layout :
(a) No solvent extraction plant shall be constructed
or extended to within a distance of 30 metres from
the nearest residential locality.
(b) A 1.5 metre high continuous fencing shall be provided
around the solvent extraction plant up to a minimum
distance of 15 metres from the plant.
(c) No person shall be allowed to carry matches or
an open flame or fire inside the area bound by
the fencing.
(d) Boiler houses and other building where open flame
processes are carried on shall be located at least
30 metres away from the solvent extraction plant.
(e) If godowns and preparatory processes are at less
than 30 metres distance from the solvent extraction
plant, there shall be atleast 15 metres distance
from the plant, and a continuous barrier wall of noncombustible
material 1.5 metres high from the solvent
extraction plant so that it extends to atleast 30
metres of vapour travel around its ends from the
plant to the possible sources of ignition.
3. Electrical Installation :
(a) All electrical motors and wiring and other electrical
equipment installed or housed in Solvent Extraction
Plant shall be of flame proof construction;
(b) All metal parts of the plant and building including
various tanks and containers where Solvents are
stored or are present and all parts of electrical
equipment not required to be energised shall be
properly bounded together and connected to the
earth so as to avoid accidental rise in the electrical
potential of such part above the earth potential.
4. Restriction on Smoking :
Smoking shall be strictly prohibited within 15 metres
distance from solvent extraction plant. For this
purpose “No smoking” sign shall be permanently
displayed in the areas.
5. Precaution Against Friction :
(a) All tools and equipments including ladders, chains,
and other lifting tackle required to be used in Solvent
Extraction Plant shall be non-sparking type.
(b) No machinery or equipment in the Solvent extraction
plant shall be belt driven unless the belt is
made of conductive materials.
(c) No person shall be allowed to enter in the solvent
extraction plant if wearing clothes made of nylon
or such other fibre that can generate static electrical
charge, or wearing foot-wear which is likely
to cause sparks by friction.
6. Fire Fighting Apparatus :
(a) Adequate number of portable fire extinguisher
suitable for use against flammable liquid fire shall
be provided in the Solvent Extraction Plant.
(b) An automatic water spray sprinkler system overhead
deluge system with sufficient supply of storage
water shall be provided over solvent extraction
plant and through out the building housing such
plant.
7. Precaution Against Power Failure :
(1) Provision shall be made for the automatic cutting
off of steam in the event of power failure and also
(2) For emergency over-head water supply for feeding
water by gravity to condensers which shall
come into play automatically with the power failure.
8. Magnetic Separators :
The material under extraction shall be fed to the
extractor by a conveyor through a hopper and a
magnetic separator shall be provided to remove
any piece of iron during its transfer.
9. Venting :
(a) Tanks containing solvents shall be protected with
emergency venting to relieve excessive internal
pressure in the event of fire.
(b) All emergency relief vents shall be terminated at
least 6 metres above the ground and be so located
that vapours will not re-enter the building in which
solvent extraction plant is located.
10. Waste Water :
Process waste water shall be passed through a
flash evaporator to remove any solvent before it
is discharged into a dump which should be located
within the fenced area, but not closer than 8m. to
the fence.
11. Ventilation :
The Solvent Extraction Plant shall be well ventilated
and if the Plant is housed in a building, the
building shall be provided with mechanical ventilation
with provision for atleast six air changes per
hour.
12. House Keeping :
(a) Solvent shall be stored in an area covered by
Solvent Extraction Plant except in small quantity
which shall be stored in approved safety cans:
(b) Waste materials such as oil-rags, other waste and
absorbant used to wipe off solvent and paints and
oils shall be deposited in approved containers and
removed from the premises atleast once a day.
(c) Space within the solvent extraction plant and within
15 metres from the plant shall be kept free from
combustible materials and any spills of oiled or
solvent, shall be cleaned up immediately.
13. Examination and Repairs :
(a) The Solvent Extraction Plant shall be examined by
the competent person to determine any weakness
or corrosion and wear, once in every 12 months.
Report of such examinations shall be supplied to
the Inspector with his observations as to whether
or not the Plant is in safe condition to work.
(b) No repairs shall be carried out to the Machinery
or Plant except under the direct supervision of the
competent person.
(c) Or steam facility shall be provided for purging the
Plant with insert gas before opening for cleaning
or repairs and before introducing solvent after repairs.
14. Operating Personnel :
The operation of the plant and Machinery in the
Solvent Extraction Plant shall be in the charges
of such duly qualified and trained person as are
certified by the competent person to be fit for the
purpose and no other person shall be allowed to
operate the plant machinery.
15. Employment of Women and Young
Person :
No women or young person shall be employed in
the Solvent Extraction Plant.
16. Vapour Detection :
A suitable type of flame proof and portable combustible
gas indicator shall be provided and maintained
in good working order and a schedule or
routine sampling of atmosphere at various locations
as approved by the Chief Inspector shall be
drawn out and entered in a Register maintained
for the purpose.
17. Log Book :
