Pollution Monitoring at SDSC, ISRO

Re Sustainability Ltd. (ReSL) offers a comprehensive suite of services that integrate environmental compliance, planning, and wastewater management. These services support industries in achieving regulatory adherence and resource recovery while ensuring environmental responsibility.

ReSL’s holistic approach encompasses securing environmental clearances, developing Environmental Management Plans (EMP), integrating Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) into project designs, and ensuring their long-term operation and maintenance (O&M).

Environmental Clearance and Management Plans

ReSL’s services begin with obtaining the necessary environmental clearances to ensure regulatory compliance for industrial projects. This involves preparing comprehensive pre-feasibility reports based on Terms of Reference (ToR) from regulatory authorities and conducting extensive baseline studies. These studies assess critical factors such as air quality, water quality, noise, soil conditions, biological diversity, and socio-economic parameters within a defined radius of the project site.

For the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park (KMTPL) in Warangal, a 1,190-acre textile park commissioned by the Telangana State Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC), ReSL conducted thorough baseline studies and developed a detailed Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and Disaster Management Plan (DMP) created by ReSL ensured that potential impacts from textile operations were mitigated effectively, facilitating the necessary environmental clearances.

Similarly, for the TATA Multi-Product SEZ in Gopalpur, spanning 2,493 acres, ReSL conducted rapid Environmental Impact Studies (EIS) and baseline assessments. The project’s coastal location required careful integration of desalination operations and reverse osmosis (RO) discharge mechanisms into the environmental plan. A comprehensive green belt was designed to mitigate air and noise pollution, ensuring the SEZ met regulatory standards.

Integration of CETPs in Environmental Plans

Effective wastewater management is a critical component of industrial sustainability. ReSL integrates the design and implementation of Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) into the overall environmental planning process. These CETPs are tailored to handle effluents specific to various industries. For instance, in the Pashamylaram Industrial Park in Hyderabad, a CETP with a capacity of 480 KLD was designed to treat High Total Dissolved Solids (HTDS) wastewater. By incorporating Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) technology, ReSL ensures that no untreated wastewater is released into the environment, promoting resource efficiency through water recycling and reuse.

Design and Commissioning of CETPs

ReSL designs and commissions CETPs that meet the specific needs of industrial clusters. In Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, a 5 MLD CETP was commissioned with ZLD technology to handle effluents from textile operations. The CETP effectively treats wastewater and recycles it back into the industrial process, preventing any liquid waste from being discharged into the environment.

For the Pashamylaram Industrial Park, the CETP was designed to handle HTDS effluents efficiently. ReSL’s design process involved:

• Capacity Planning: Ensuring the CETP’s 480 KLD capacity met the park’s requirements.
• Technology Integration: Including solvent recovery systems to enhance resource recovery and sustainability.

In the TATA Multi-Product SEZ, ReSL integrated CETPs and Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) into the wastewater management strategy to accommodate the diverse industries within the SEZ. The inclusion of desalination plants ensured a sustainable water supply while mitigating environmental impacts.

Long-Term Operation and Maintenance (O&M)

ReSL’s commitment extends beyond commissioning to the long-term operation and maintenance of CETPs. In Kakatiya Mega Textile Park, ReSL provides a 7-year O&M commitment to ensure consistent performance and compliance. For Pashamylaram Industrial Park, ReSL’s 20-year O&M contract supports continuous efficiency, solvent recovery, and revenue generation through recycled water.

ReSL’s O&M services include:

• Continuous Monitoring: Real-time assessments to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
• Resource Efficiency: Promoting the reuse of treated water and recovery of valuable by-products.
• Sustainability Assurance: Ensuring CETPs operate efficiently to support industrial growth while minimizing environmental impact.

By securing environmental clearances, developing robust management plans, and integrating efficient wastewater treatment systems, ReSL supports industries in balancing development with ecological responsibility. The long-term operation and maintenance of CETPs further ensure that these solutions remain effective, promoting a resilient and resource-efficient future.
