SIGNIFICANT AIR EMISSIONS |
 |
PM - Particulate Matter | NOx - Oxides of Nitrogen
| SO2 - Sulphur Dioxide
|
Our commitment to continuous improvement
in this area is clearly demonstrated by reduction on all relevant emission parameters across
our units.
Our Bhadrachalam unit, the largest and
the greenest Paperboards unit in India, accounts
for a significant portion of the Company’s
total emissions.
Specific Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) emission levels at the Bhadrachalam Paperboards unit continued to improve and emission levels have come down by 35.8% and 23.1%, respectively in 2007-08.
Particulate Matter emissions from Bhadrachalam were merely 0.89 kg/BDMT (Bone-Dry Metric Tonne) in 2007-08, whereas large-scale Indian
mills typically emit 3.8 kg/BDMT - ‘All About
Paper - The life cycle of Indian Pulp and Paper Industry’, Green Rating project by The Centre for Science & Environment, 2004.
In addition to the above parameters, Bhadrachalam also monitors Hydrogen Sulphide. The measured value for the year 2007-08 was 4.8 tonnes. |
