Enviorment Policy
The company has most modern and effective Environment Treatment Plant with Biodigestors for treating the effluents which achieves maximum treatment of effluent conforming to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board norms. It has thus provided a good environment in and around the company.
The treated effluents are used for agricultural activities like Plantation of Medicinal, Aromatic, Fruit plants in the farms. So also the effluents are supplied for harvesting maize crop to the nearby farmers.
The company provides safe and healthy environment for its employees through reducing the pollution load on environment by following most modern manufacturing process and equipment which minimize the quantity of waste at the source.
Training programmes for the workers and Production Staff are conducted through Human Resource Department to educate them to know the importance of environment protection.
Information through interaction with Scientists and Technologists for environment protection and pollution control is obtained by attending National and International conferences and Seminars by concerned persons.
Environment laboratory is well equipped with instruments like COD Analyzer, pH Meter, Conductivity Meter, Water Quality Analyzer, BOD Incubator, Automatic Rain Gauge Meter, Hygrometer and Wind vane.
The company will be shortly commissioning the R.O. (Reverse Osmosis Plant) of ETP to recycle the permeate and thereby reducing the overall consumption of process water.
Technology
Co-generation is the concept of producing two forms of energy from one fuel. One of the forms of energy must always be heat and the other may be electricity or mechanical energy. In a conventional power plant, fuel is burnt in a boiler to generate high-pressure steam. This steam is used to drive a turbine, which in turn drives an alternator through a steam turbine to produce electric power. The exhaust steam is generally condensed to water which goes back to the boiler.
As the low-pressure steam has a large quantum of heat which is lost in the process of condensing, the efficiency of conventional power plants is only around 35%. In a cogeneration plant, very high efficiency levels, in the range of 75% 90%, can be reached. This is so, because the low-pressure exhaust steam coming out of the turbine is not condensed, but used for heating purposes in factories or houses.
Since co-generation can meet both power and heat needs, it has other advantages as well in the form of significant cost savings for the plant and reduction in emissions of pollutants due to reduced fuel consumption.
Wind Mill
We have entered into the field of Wind Mill Energy generation two years back and invested Rs.10 Crores.During the year 2002-2003 we have established 3 Wind Mills with 600 KW (0.6 M.W.) capacity of TAKE Make (Germany) at Brahmanvel, Vill. Pangan,Tal. Sakri, Dist. Dhule .
We are generating sufficient electricity to meet the requirement of M/s. Unique Sugars Ltd. for the whole year through it¿¿¿s Wind Mill. M/s. Jaychandra Agro Industries Pvt. Ltd. has also been utilizing the power generated through the Wind Mill and the spare quantity of power has been distributing to other manufacturers. Similarly, the whole quantity of power generated through the Wind Mill belongs to M/s. Universal Starch-Chem Allied Ltd. is also being supplied to other manufacturers and supporting the field of National Electricity Generation. We produced 4138000 units of electricity during the 1st year (2002-2003)and last year (2203-2004) we produced 3828000 units . The total units generated through Wind is 80,00,000 units. Henceforth also we are trying to establish new wind mills of 1.5 MW capacity. Water: We require more quantity of water for our Group of industries. Even water is also a national resource, we are utilizing it only wherever it is essential . Also we are reutilizing the water repeatedly after purification process. We have also made necessary arrangement for rain-water-harvesting. We are collecting the rain water, falling on top of the buildings, and allowing it to go under the ground to raise the ground-water level. To collect and store the water flowing underneath the ground 10 to 12 borewells are established at various locations.
We have planted thousands of plants/trees in our factory premises to upkeep the ecological balance and also we undertake planting of new trees every year.
