PROJECT DETAILS
Qatar presently operates significant level of slaughter house to produce meat for the local demand. These operations results in the bye product i.e. animal hide and skins. Present handling and usage pattern of these generation are not explicitly known. However with the proposed Qatar Leather and Fur Factory (QLFF) project being implemented, the availability of the main raw material would be sourced locally. The proposed location of the QLFF project site is observed to be ideally located within an industrial operation land area with ease at access to raw materials from the slaughter houses as well as existing warehouses for process chemical sourcing.
QLFF facility is being set up for a full production capacity of 8 tonnes per day. To achieve this capacity the operations will handle 1500 pieces of Arabic origin sheep (3000 kg) and 2000 pieces of Australian Origin Sheep (5000 Kg) per day.
QLFF management has retained the services of Qatar Design Consortium (QDC) to carry out the baseline environmental study and prepare an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study report.
In order to relate the existing environment with the proposed project activity, it was imperative to carry out detail evaluation of the baseline environmental characteristics including: Ambient air Quality, Noise Level, Soil Quality, Groundwater quality and odour. Applicable regulatory requirements were reviewed and compiled before commencing a structured and detailed baseline studies and a refined modelling analysis has been conducted using AERMOD.
