CLEANER PRODUCTION

Used in conjunction with other elements of environmental management, cleaner production is a practical method for protecting human and environmental health, and for supporting the goal of sustainable development.

Production with no regard for environmental impacts creates water and air pollution, soil degradation, and large-scale global impacts such as acid rain, global warming and ozone depletion. To create more sustainable methods of production, there needs to be a shift in attitudes away from control towards pollution prevention and management.

Cleaner production activities include measures such as pollution prevention, source reduction, waste minimization and eco-efficiency. They involve better management and housekeeping, substitution of toxic and hazardous materials, process modifications, and reuse of waste products. At its heart, the concept is about the prevention, rather than the control, of pollution.

The concept of cleaner production questions the need for a particular product, and looks at other ways to satisfy the demand. It is a slowing down of the rate at which we use resources, and a gradual shift from linear to more circular processes, similar to those found in nature. The eventual goal of clean production is to achieve a 'closed loop' operation in which all excess materials are recycled back into the process.

Cleaner production activities include measures such as pollution prevention, source reduction, waste minimization and eco-efficiency. They involve better management and housekeeping, substitution of toxic and hazardous materials, process modifications, and reuse of waste products. At its heart, the concept is about the prevention, rather than the control, of pollution.

The four elements of cleaner production are:

1. The precautionary approach - potential polluters must prove that a substance or activity will do no harm;

2. The preventive approach - preventing pollution at the source rather than after it has been created;


3. Democratic control - workers, consumers, and communities all have access to information and are involved in decision-making;

4. Integrated and holistic approach - addressing all material, energy and water flows using life-cycle analyses.

The benefits of cleaner production include decreased waste, the recovery of valuable by-products, improved environmental performance, increased resource productivity, increased efficiency, lower energy consumption, and an overall reduction in costs.

Implementing cleaner production can be as straightforward as adopting better housekeeping practices or it may involve more complex measures associated with processes and products. The more sophisticated options may include switching to renewable energy sources, increasing material efficiency, and re-using and recycling by-products. The product itself can be designed to reduce consumption of resources, to prolong its useful life, and to allow disassembly and recycling of its component parts.

Cleaner production requires a new way of thinking about processes and products, and about how they can be made less harmful to humans and the environment. For successful implementation, the concept must be effectively communicated within the organization. Employees at all levels, including senior management, should be actively involved.

The following guidelines can be used to implement a cleaner production approach:

1. Identify the hazardous substance to be phased out, on the basis of the precautionary principle;

2. Undertake a chemical/material flow analysis; 3. Establish a time schedule for the phase-out of the hazardous substance in

the production process, as well as its accompanying waste management technology;

4. Implement and further develop cleaner production processes and products;

5. Provide training , technical and financial support; 6. Actively disseminate information to the public and ensure their

participation in decision-making;


7. Facilitate substance phase-out with regulatory and economic incentives; 8. Facilitate the transition to cleaner production with social planning,

involving workers and communities affected.

The cost of complying with environmental legislation can be significantly reduced by companies that adopt cleaner production techniques. The latter are often more cost-effective than control technologies. The costs of dealing with wastes are reduced, and there is potential for new markets to be discovered through innovations or the sale of by-products.

Cleaner production can reduce environmental risks and liabilities and lead to greater competitiveness. By demonstrating a commitment to cleaner production, companies can also improve their public image and gain the confidence of consumers.

Definition of Cleaner Production______________________________________

It as 'the continuous application of an integrated preventive environmental strategy applied to processes, products and services to increase eco-efficiency and reduce risks to humans and the environment'.

CLEANER PRODUCTION TOOLS & METHODOLOGY

CLEANER PRODUCTION TOOL

Cleaner Production options or measures could be grouped into three major

categories

1. Waste Reduction at Source; 2. Recycling; and 3. Product Modification

1. Waste Reduction at Source options are sub-divided into "Good

Housekeeping" and "Process Change" Options.

Good Housekeeping usually means changing existing practices or

introducing new ways of operating and maintaining equipment.

Appropriate provisions to prevent spills and to encourage good workplace

attitudes are included in this category of Cleaner Production options.

Good housekeeping options are normally inexpensive and their pay-back

period is short.


Repair leakages, close taps when not in use, raw material conveyor to

reduce material handling losses, insulation of digesters etc.

Process Change includes four types of options: Change in raw material,

Better Process Control, Equipment Modification and Technology change.

a. Change of raw material options includes the use of less hazardous

materials or raw materials of higher quality aimed at reducing the

quantity / toxicity of waste generated from the process. Existing

raw materials could be substituted with less polluting ones.

Substituting existing toxic dyes with non-toxic dyes to reduce

effluent and product toxicity, use of H202 bleaching instead of

chlorine based bleaching to avoid generation of toxic absorbable

organic halides (AOX).

b. Better process control aims at optimizing the process parameters /

conditions like pH, temperature, pressure, residence time etc., to

ensure operation of the existing processes at higher efficiency and

with lower waste and emission generation. This may be achieved

for example, by training the operators or by adding monitoring and

control devices to the machinery.

Example: Optimization of pulping process for extended cooking with NaOH.

c. Equipment modification includes small changes to existing equipment, such as installing drip pans, installing fluid coupling in blenders, pumps activation through level controlling mechanisms etc., which aims at reducing the waste generation caused due to poor equipment design. This may be achieved for example, by training the operators or by adding monitoring and control devices to the machinery.

d. Technology change constitutes the replacement of technology,

processing sequence and / or synthesis pathway in order to


minimize waste and emission generation during the production

process.

Example: Installation of Screw press and counter current multistage

vacuum washers for pulp washing.

2. Recycling is the-on-site recovery and reuse of wasted materials and

energy. The recovered materials may either be reused in the same process

or used for another purpose, for example in producing useful by-products,

like creation of ligno sulphates from black liquor or lignin recovery from

black liquor for use as soil conditioner.

3. Product Modification: Product changes involve altering the product in

order to reduce waste during manufacture, use and disposal i.e. during

the product life cycle. These are among the among more difficult waste

minimization techniques to effect. Examples include changing the

composition of the product or producing a substitute by alternative

product to perform the same function.

Produce high yield varieties of paper

Produce unbleached paper instead of bleached paper

Production of paper with high ash content

Production of non-perfumed tissue napkins.

GUJARAT CLEANER PRODUCTION CENTRE

Cleaner production requires a new way of thinking about processes and

products, and about how they can be made less harmful to humans and the

environment. For successful implementation in the industries located in

Gujarat State, Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre (GCPC) was established in

August 1998 with the technical support of NCPC and UNIDO and with the

financial support of GIDC. There are about 43 CP centers established in all over

the world with the support of UNIDO/UNEP. GCPC is one of the 4 regional

GOVERNMENT OF GUJARAT INITIATIVES

Gujarat Industrial Policy, 2009

The Industrial Policy, 2009 of State Government lays emphasis on inculcating

systematic approach among the industries for holistic development that includes

environmental management as infrastructure. The earlier schemes for assistance

to Environment Protection Measures and Infrastructure have emphasized upon

setting up of common environmental infrastructure plants viz. Common Effluent

Treatment Plants (CETPs) and Treatment, Storage & Disposal Facilities (TSDFs).

The need to deal with all aspects of environment management has arisen. Also

emphasis on pollution prevention at source with issues like rational utilization of

resources and cleaner processes and technologies has been highlighted. Recent

developments like plasma technology, pyrolysis, technologies for converting

“waste to energy & fuel” , etc, that have taken place in environment

management, is also incorporated and emphasis is on green / clean processes

and green / clean technologies. For sustainable development, it is necessary to

introduce substantial changes in the working and practices of the industries.

With this view, for encouraging green practices, IP 2009 has been formulated. The Schemes can be downloaded from (Refer Annexure I):

2) DATA BASE:

Database Creation and Collection on CP-CT: -

GCPC is a nodal agency to work for CP practices in the state. We have started

multidimensional activities for further spreading the concept of CP.


The Centre has completed around 25 CP Assessment Projects in different sectors

like Chemical & Petrochemicals, Dyes & Dye Intermediates, Pharmaceuticals,

Fish Processing, and Textiles etc. GCPC has also completed 10 CP Demonstration

Projects in 6 Sectors i.e. Pulp & Paper, Electroplating, Hotels, Hospitals, Dairy

and Textile. Most of these industries have implemented major CP tools

suggested in the report. Success Stories of the same have been documented and

disseminated through Web Site, News-Letter, Guidelines and other sources for

the multiplier effect.

The Centre has also published literature like Leaflets, Booklets etc in regional

language. One of the main objectives of GCPC includes creating the data bank on

CP-CT. We have developed a good library comprising of Books, Journals, Training

Manuals, Reports related to CP-CT and Environment.

Since the CP/CT concept is new one, the data available is not enough hence

generation of data is also important objective as ENVIS Centre. GCPC is being

generated database on Cleaner Production at different sector like Pulp and

Paper, Pharmaceutical, Dyes and Dyes intermediate etc.

GCPC has identified Key Resource Persons (KRPs), who are experts in Cleaner

Production. They have been requested to share their success stories, case

studies, and databases with us.

Identification of Data Gaps and Action Taken: -

The Centre has decided to study major unit process/unit operations, CP-CT

practices used in SSIs of Chemical Sector in the state. One such study has been

completed in the Ankleshwar Industrial Estate (one of the critically polluted

estates). The Centre has covered information regarding major unit processes and

(G) Green Society

Trees are the largest and longest living organisms on earth. To grow tall the

tree has become a miracle of engineering and a complex chemical factory. It is

able to take water and salts out of the earth and lift them up to the leaves,

sometimes over 400 ft above. By means of photosynthesis the leaves combine

the water and salts with carbon dioxide from the air to produce the nutrients

which feed the tree. In this process, as well as wood, trees create many

chemicals, seeds and fruit of great utility to man. Trees also remove carbon

dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, from the air.

Looking to the Environment development of different industrial Estate of the

Gujarat state and growing performance of the various Estates, it was been

decided to form a Green Society in every industrial estate of GIDC.

With a view to maintain ecological balance by beautifying the Estate by tree

plantation thus to convert the industrial estates into industrial parks. Under

these any usable area for plantation in the form of Green Society, Utility plots,

Common plots, Central Vistas, Gardens, Un-allotable areas, Utility Corridors,

Low lying areas, maximum available strip of road land width between road

carpet and boundary of plot, etc is identified for the purpose.

Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre has established Green Society along with

GIDC in the following Estates:

GREEN SOCIETY FORMED (YEAR 2009-10)

Name of Estate Name of Green Society

Vapi Vapi Industrial Association

Sarigam(ppz) Sarigam Industrial Association

Sachin Sachin Infra Management

Vaghodia Chief Officer, Notified Area, Vaghodia

Por-Ramangamdi Chief Officer, Notified Area, Por- Ramangamdi


GCPC also plans to make Memorandum of Understanding for the year 2010-2011

in following industrial estates of GIDC in Gujarat for the formation of Green

Society.

1. Ankleshwar 2. Panoli 3. Jhagadia 4. Veraval 5. Umargam

6.

(H) Capacity Building Project

GCPC has conducted many training programmes in various industrial estates

and academic institutions. Main purpose of the Training Programme is to train

the industry people as well as engineering students of related field, about the

Cleaner Production / Clean Technology with Methodology.

Even though efforts have been made by Government of Gujarat and Cleaner

Production as a subject has been introduced in engineering and environmental

science syllabus, awareness regarding its real benefits has not penetrated to

the students and faculty. Again, if they are exposed to real projects they will

get an insight to the opportunities lying in CP. These students are the future

scientists and engineers who if envisioned and shown the path, can take steps

toward Sustainable Development. With this vision, this capacity building

programme is envisaged and the structure will be designed keeping in mind

the same concept.

Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre had submitted proposal for Capacity

building of Academicians & Students on Environmental Management through

Cleaner Production & Cleaner Technology in January 2010 to Department of

Forests and Environment, Government of Gujarat and same has been

accepted.


According to this proposal GCPC will organize five days, non-residential

training programme which include CP tools and Methodology etc. in different

universities of Gujarat.

(I) Cleaner Production Implementation Project in Dairy and Textile

Sector

Cleaner Production Implementation Project was conducted in five major Dairy

and Textile industry of Gujarat by Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre as directed

by Forests and Environment Department, Government of Gujarat.

The CP implementation has been carried out in following Dairies and Textile

industries:

1. Madhur Dairy, Gandhinagar 2. Vidya Dairy, Anand 3. Dudhsagar Dairy, Mehsana 4. Sabar Dairy, Himmatnagar 5. Uttam Dairy, Ahmedabad 6. Rinkoo Processor Limited, Narol 7. Chamaria Fashions Limited, Narol 8. Samir Textile Limited, Odhav 9. Vinod Synthetic Limited, Narol

10. Neptune Textile Limited, Odhav

A team from GCPC visited the industries to find out Cleaner Production

opportunities with the help of Management from individual Industry. GCPC team

generated many Cleaner Production options and suggested various options to

save water, energy, raw material and environment as a whole.

Cleaner Production Interim Report of Dairy and Textile Industry with all suggested

Cleaner Production Options with their Economic and Environment Benefits was

submitted to Respective Industry for Implementation.


Implementation step is more difficult than the generation of cleaner production

options so it has taken more time. After continuous and untiring efforts, GCPC

Team got substantial results in Implementation.

Draft Final Report of Implementation in Dairy industry was submitted on 18th

December 2009 to Forests and Environment Dept, GoG. Draft Final Report of

Implementation in Textile Industries was submitted in January 2010.

Some Implemented Options Photographs in Dairy:

1. PNG installation in Sweet Section.

2. Installation of Anaerobic Digester for Treatment of Whey and Generation of

power from the gas.


Some Cleaner Production Opportunities Photographs in Textile Industry:

1. Avoid leakage of water from joint to reduce wastage of water.

2. Repair or Readjust Cloth Rider


The results of one time investment and annual savings (see graph below) for one

Dairy and one Textile industry shows that the pay-back period is less than a year.
