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
