Formica Laminates (India) is planning an expansion of its decorative& industrial laminates manufacturing project from 104,166sheets/month to 421,000 sheets/month at Piyaj Village, dist. Gandhinagar,Gujarat. The estimated cost of the project is Rs. 350 million.The project is waiting for environmental clearance. Accordingto MoEF sources, STP will be constructed and treated water will beused for utilities/greenbelt and STP sludge will be used as manure.Sewage treatment Plant (STP) will employ appropriate technologyto ensure that there is no odour from it. Sewage will be treated insewage water treatment plant (STP). There will be no discharge ofindustrial effluent. Treated sewage will be re-used for sprayingpurpose in grinding process to achieve `Zero Discharge`. Source ofwater pollution is mainly from process & utilities which containsTDS. Effluent is first collected in collection cum neutralization tank,where it is neutralized, depending upon the acidity/alkalinity ofraw influent. Then effluent will be pumped into primary settlingtank. Overflow will be taken in treated effluent collection tank.Then it will be transferred to the evaporator for evaporation andrecovery of product water. Salt will be collected, packed in HDPEbags disposed at approved TSDF site. After expansion, source ofwastewater generation will be from process and utilities. Processwastewater will be directly evaporated in evaporator & utilitieseffluent will be treated in ETP having primary treatment units andafter treatment it will be evaporated in evaporator. So there will beno discharge of effluent from the unit. Domestic effluent will betreated in STP and treated water will be reused for utilities/greenbelt purpose. STP sludge will be used as manure. There willbe four types of hazardous waste generation i.e. ETP sludge/evaporation salt, used oil and discarded containers/liners and processresidue. [Info as of: May `14]
