Use of Ozone-friendly Materials (View Comments)
Posted On Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 03:46:59 PM
In an endeavour towards a cleaner environment, Bharat Electronics' CSR activities include water treatment, air monitoring, safety management, bio-gas from canteen waste, green surroundings, etc. Bharat Electronics is a Zero Discharge company as no waste water is allowed to leave the factory premises. Around 2,500 Kiloliters of water is treated and recycled every day. This not only avoids pollution but also conserves a precious natural resource.
Other Activities include
Closed Conduit System
• By establishing a closed conduit pipeline system, at a cost of Rs.40 lakhs, for carrying primary-treated process effluents from Plating Shops and other Processing Centres to the Centralised Effluent Treatment Plant, BEL has avoided flow of such effluents in open drains, eliminating the related pollution and mixing with rain water.
Solid Waste Management
• A system exists for collection of waste and disposal of the same in an orderly manner after proper segregation. All metal scraps are segregated at the source itself. Hazardous wastes are handled separately and stored in the well-protected central hazardous waste store constructed exclusively for this purpose and disposed as per legal norms. A high level of awareness exists on handling and disposing such materials to take care of the environmental requirements and legislation.
Hazardous Waste Management System
• Bharat Electronics has established an impeccable system by constructing an exclusive, well-protected place for safe-keeping the hazardous waste with an enclosed area of 640 sq. meters. This system in practice effectively prevents pollution caused by hazardous wastes.
Rainwater Harvesting Reservoir
• The Rainwater Harvesting reservoir inaugurated on April 17, 2003, mainly recharges ground water and is expected to supply water for our own use in the future. Such a large-scale rainwater harvesting system with a storage capacity of 170 Million Litres built at a cost of Rs.57 Lakhs, is known to be the first of its kind by an industry in the country.
Use of Ozone-friendly Materials
• The company has successfully substituted the CFC12, CFC 13 and CFC 113 Ozone Depleting substances with less hazardous materials. In future, equipment with CFCs will not be purchased.
