Technology

TNPL

• process of implementing a 600 tpd Cement plant for converting mill wastes namely lime and fly ash to cement

• Pulp expansion - bagasse and deinking

• Bio-methanation plant for generation of methane gas from bagasse wash water subsequently augmented

• ♦ “Energy Efficiency Improvement in Chemical Recovery boiler.

• • Projects under Validation:

• ♦ 13.75 MW – Grid connected wind electricity generation project at Devarkulam by TNPL.

• • Project under Planning:

• ♦ Installation of Energy Efficient Boiler for Higher Steam and Power Generation.

ITC • India’s first company to adopt chlorine free

technology and upgraded to light ECF with ozone treatment.

ITC - energy

• ITC is 98% self sufficient through co-generation of energy from bio-mass waste from wood pulp plantations.

• ITC has been 'carbon positive' four years in a row sequestering /storing twice the amount of CO2 that the company emits.

• ITC ventured into wind energy generation with 14 MW capacity and solar heaters.

TNPL • 35 MW OF Green energy

• 20 MW of bio energy produced

BILT

• Only 9% of the energy used is from bio mass and remaining conventional energy is still used.

• But many energy saving measures are being taken.

JK

• Only conventional energy is mostly used.

Effluents

TNPL – TNPL Effluent Water Lift Irrigation Society(TEWLIS)

"Activated Sludge Process".

– Around 1700 acres of arid land are irrigated with the treated effluent water under TEWLIS scheme.

ITC

– ITC has been 'Water Positive' for seven years in a row - creating two times more Rainwater Harvesting Potential than ITC's net consumption.

– ZERO SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT – fly ash, chipper dust, and plastic 100%recycled.

Bilt – Bilt’s plant bhigwan mill is certifies zero waste water discharge mill.

– At Bhigwan, an extensive effluent treatment plant to 88% percent of treated effluent.

– Participatory Water Management - Water User Association (WUA) and Water User Group (WUG)

JK – Activated sludge treatment process used. Lime kiln plant to regenerate

line from lime sludge.

– Minimization of water consumption in different process through reuse and minimize waste water discharge upto 17%
