Environment

At Granules, it is not just important to be profitable for the moment, but to be on a sustainable basis. This sustainability is no longer an economic requirement, but an environmental one as well.

In view of this, the company has embarked on a number of environment-management initiatives like the following:

	The implementation of 'Environmental Best Practices' at the company's Gagillapur plant (recognised by CII).

	Delegation of eco-friendly measures to employee levels.

	The use of sophisticated equipment to collect the dust generated during process activities and material transfer.

	Conversion of the entire plant into a non-smoking area.

Activities

The company's robust environment management comprises the following:

	Wastewater analyses on effluent samples.

	A frequent test and monitor of the ground water, soil, ambient air, stacks and noise levels.

Over the years, the company expects to strengthen its environment standards: a common effluent treatment plant will be reinforced by a cleaner technology to minimise liquid effluent, gaseous emission and solid waste.

Liquid effluents

	They are separated into high TDS-high COD effluents and low TDS-low COD effluents.

	High TDS-high COD effluents are collected separately at generation plants. Following primary treatment, they are evaporated; the residue is sent to the Hyderabad Waste Management Project for safe disposal.

	Low COD effluents are collected in a common sump. Following homogenisation and pH adjustments, they are discarded to the CETP for onward treatment and disposal.

Hazardous solid waste management

Hazardous solids from various production stages and effluent collection tanks are sent to the Hyderabad Waste Management Project for safe disposal.

Gaseous emissions

Gaseous emissions are scrubbed, cleaned and made harmless with suitable chemical reagents before they are released.

Green belt development

The planting of a green belt around the plant has helped neutralise pollution. We plan to construct a green building comprising natural light, natural cooling through roof garden on the terrace, use of environment-friendly fly ash cement and solar energy.
