Effluent
Treatment and
Disposal
With the aim of
ensuring minimum
disturbance to
the ecology, all
possible
precautions have
been taken to
avoid pollution.
Effluent
treatment and
disposal systems
in a number of
chemical plants
in India and
abroad have been
studied and a
suitable system
has been
designed and
built in
consultation
with specialists
in effluent
treatment and
allied
engineering
activities. The
Karnataka State
Pollution
Control Board
has accorded
formal approval
after studying
the effluent
treatment system
installed. There
is zero liquid
effluent
discharge.
Suitable
modifications
have also been
made in the Urea
plant to
substantially
bring down the
noise and air
pollution levels
during plant
start-ups and
upsets.
A Urea
Hydrolyser
Stripper unit,
at a cost of
Rs.8 Crores, was
added in 1990 to
treat the
effluent from
the Urea and
Ammonia plants
and the outlet
water from the
Stripper is
reused as
cooling tower
make-up.
As a good
corporate
citizen, the
Company has gone
beyond merely
complying with
the pollution
control norms.
We are committed
to preserving
and maintaining
the ecological
balance. |

Change from a
chromate-based
program to a
non-toxic
phosphate based
system was made
in the cooling
water treatment
system in 1991.
The ambient air
quality is
monitored
regularly at
different
locations inside
and outside the
factory
premises. The
pollutant
concentration is
well within the
levels
stipulated. |
