(ii) Brief description of nature of the project
Wonder Cement Ltd. is proposing for Expansion of Integrated Cement Project - Clinker
(9.5 to 13 MTPA), Cement (12 MTPA to 16 MTPA), & WHRB (30 to 45 MW) near
Villages: Sangaria, Borakheri, Peerkhera and Rasulpura, Tehsil: Nimbahera, District:
Chittorgarh (Rajasthan) As per EIA Notification dated 14th September, 2006, as
amended on 1st December, 2009; the project falls under Category “A”, Project or Activity
‘3(b)’.
(iii) Need for the project and its importance to the country and or region
Cement is an essential ingredient for the modern building construction. The new
generation cement plant in India now employs the latest technology for better
efficiency, energy conservation and economics of large capacity production. The
improved market conditions witnessed recently after a grip of recession over a long
period are expected to continue due to high priority being given by the Government to
housing and infrastructure and also in view of the massive investment proposed in
industry and rural sectors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase the cement
production capacity in the country in spite of severe resource constraints.
(iv) Demand- Supply Gap & Imports vs. Indigenous production The cement demand and supply is estimated based on the following assumptions:
The cement market has growth due to Central government liberization policies and development of housing, road and infrastructure projects.
A cement deficit situation is envisaged in the coming years but the situation may change depending upon the infrastructure growth in the coming years.
(v) Export Possibility
The primary markets of interest for WCL are Rajasthan, Gujarat, M.P, Delhi, Haryana,
and U.P. It is estimated that WCL would be able to sell its entire production from third
year onwards. No cement export is envisaged. Cement produced in the state will be
consumed domestically. However, Wonder Cement Ltd will export clinker to third
parties outside India.
(vi) Domestic / Export Markets
WCL is planning to expand its cement production capacity to increase the lead in the
region and logistic gain. The proposed cement production will cater to the cement
demands in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, M.P, Delhi, Haryana, U.P etc.
Apart from cement sale, Wonder Cement Ltd will transfer clinker to its captive clinker
grinding units, sale the clinker in domestic market and will export clinker outside India.
(vii) Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the project
Direct and indirect employment will be generated due to the project. During
construction phase, employment opportunity to approximately 2000 persons is
estimated.

A. CEMENT MANUFACTURING PROCESS DESCRIPTION
Selection of Process
Dry process of cement manufacturing offers more advantages, particularly in fuel
consumption and is the most rational and logical choice. The proposed plant will adopt
dry process to manufacture Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) & Ordinary Portland
Cement (OPC) using rotary kiln, preheater and precalciner.
Dry process Principle
In the dry process, the raw materials are dried in a combined drying-cum-grinding
installation to reduce the moisture content to below 1%. The drying in the grinding unit is
achieved by using kiln exhaust gases for normal moisture and is supplemented by
auxiliary hot air furnace for rainy season etc. for high moisture. The ground raw mix is
then homogenized in silos and fed into the rotary kiln. Heat required for evaporation of
added moisture is eliminated in this process. The latest technological innovation is to
replace the conventional suspension preheater by well designed suspension preheater
having high efficiency, low pressure drop cyclone and pre-calcinator.
Suspension preheater achieves better heat economy and therefore, fuel consumption in
this process is low. This process is environmental friendly and reduces consumption of
natural resources. The process flow sheet is shown in the Figure-3.

Process Flow Chart (Figure-3)
Cement Manufacturing Process
A. Crushing Stacking & Reclaiming of Limestone
The limestone crushers will crush the limestone and discharge the material onto a belt
conveyor which takes it to the stacker. The material will be stacked in stockpiles.
Limestone will be extracted transversely from the stockpiles by the reclaimers and
conveyed to the raw mill hoppers for grinding of raw meal. Other additives and corrective
materials will also be mixed during grinding of limestone in raw mill in appropriate
proportion for desired quality of clinker.
B. Crushing, Stacking & Reclaiming of Coal and Use of Alternate Fuels
The process of making clinker requires heat. Coal/pet coke will be used as the fuel for
providing heat. Raw Coal/ pet coke received from the supply industry will be stored in
coal yard and conveyed to coal mill for grinding and finally stored in fine coal bins before
used in pyro processing.
C. Raw Mill / Kiln Feed Preparation
Reclaimed limestone along with additives and corrective material will be fed to the raw
mill for grinding and product is called raw meal. The hot gases generated from the

clinkerization process will be used in raw mill for drying. Raw meal will be finally stored
and homogenized in silo. Extracted raw meal from silo is called kiln feed which will be fed
to the top of multi stage preheater for pyro processing
D. Clinkerization
Clinker will be made by pyro processing of Kiln feed in the preheater and the rotary kiln.
Fine coal / pet coke/lignite fuel will be fired to provide the necessary heat in the kiln and
the Precalciner located at the bottom of the preheater. Hot clinker discharged from the
Kiln will drop on the grate cooler and will get cooled. The cooler will discharge the clinker
onto the pan / bucket conveyor and it will be transported to the clinker silo. The clinker
will be taken from the silo to the Cement mill hoppers for cement grinding.
E. Cement Grinding & Storage
Clinker and Gypsum, fly ash and mineral components according to requirement will be
extracted from their respective hoppers and fed to the Cement Mill. Cement Mill grind the
feed to a fine powder and the mill discharge will be fed to an elevator, which will take the
material to a separator, which separates fine product and the coarse product. The Cement,
so provided will be transported to RCC Cement Silos for dispatch.
Plant Layout (Figure-4)
The features of the layout are as follows:
Process plants will be consolidated into comprehensive production unit requiring
short conveying distances and lengths of gas ducts;
Sufficient space will be provided for ease of operation and maintenance;
The lengths of power cables will be minimized by suitably locating load distribution
centers in respect of process departments;
Outward movements of materials from customers/suppliers will be segregated from
internal plant traffic; and
Safety requirements will be kept in mind while locating the workshops and vehicular
movement inside the plant.

(vi) Soil classification
The Chittorgarh district and surrounding area forms a part of inter-mountain plateau
and consist of dark- lava soils. Major cash crops like cotton and sugarcane are grown in
this black soil region. Other food crops are also grown.
The soils of Rajasthan are complex, and highly variable, reflecting a variety of differing
parent materials, physiographic land features, range of distribution of rainfall and its
effects, etc. However, broadly, the soils can be put in five major groups, based on the
basic fabric of soils i.e. soil texture which governs its many other properties. They are,
(1) sandy soils or light soils, (2) sandy loam or light medium soils, (3) loam or medium
soils, (4) clay loam to clay or heavy soils and (5) skeletal soils or shallow rocky and hilly
soils.
Quality of the soil in the area is shown a marked diversity in nature depending upon the
parent rock and climatic conditions prevailing in different parts of the district. The soil
in the area has a property of swelling to some extent when wetted and foaming cracks,
when it dries up subsequently. The soil found in the Chittorgarh district is black cotton
soil.
(vii) Climatic data from secondary sources
Climate of the area is generally dry except during the south-west monsoon season. Dry
summer months extends from March to June and sometimes up to Middle of July.
Monsoon season lasts for about two months from Mid-July to Mid-September or less.
Post-monsoon season extends up to November and thereafter winter / cold season
continues up to February.

Temperature generally becomes highest in May and it reaches upto 45°C to 48°C and
the minimum is recorded in January going down to 2°C to 9°C.
The average annual rainfall in the past one decade was in the range of 700 to 900 mm
with the highest precipitation in August when about 80% of the rainfall is received in
the area during the NW Monsoon every year.
Drought analysis based on agriculture criteria shows that the district experiences
either mild or normal drought once in two years. However, severe drought has never
occurred in the district.
(viii) Social Infrastructure available
Nearest habitation are at Bhattkotari and Rasulpura village. The nearest town is
Nimbahera, which is approx. 5 km distance from the plant site. The nearest major city
is Chittorgarh & Udaipur about 30 km & 100 km respectively from the plant site.
At Nimbahera town schools, dispensaries, small hospitals, places of worship etc are
available. Electrical power supply in most of surrounding villages is available.
Telephone, Medical facilities are available in the nearby towns. Almost all the villages
in the buffer zone are electrified. L.T. power is being supplied for drawing water from a
large number of tube wells sunk around the important village of the buffer zone, for
irrigation purpose. Most of the tanks and ponds as well as the river water are being
utilized for irrigation.
