Green Practices at Privi
A Green Initiative - Installation and commissioning of Solar Power Plant. Privi established a Special Purpose Vehicle Company (SPV - a legal entity that is created to meet objectives, such as implementing smart city development projects in India)) to generate electricity from solar power, which fulfils approx. 25% of Privi’s electricity requirements.
To reduce dependency on fossil fuels and reduce GHG emissions we continue to invest in innovative technologies and process improvements that enhance resource efficiency and mitigate environmental risks. We have already implemented 10 MW renewable solar power under open Access, 0.6 MW under roof top & further implementing 5 MW solar projects to be completed before September 2026.
Following are the benefits of the same:
- Reduction in use of conventional energy and a step towards Nation building through use of clean and green energy.
- Power saving/ reduction in carbon emissions
- REUSE - Privi is working on novel ways of making high value Aroma Chemicals from CST side streams and Agrochemicals from other by-products, thus reducing waste and enhancing profits.
- REVERSE OSMOSIS - Waste water processed by through Reverse Osmosis, 85% of waste water is treated and reused in the cooling towers, Boiler feed.
- WASTE ACIDS - Waste acids such as Sulphuric acid and Phosphoric acid - Polished & Reused in the process.
- ORGANIC WASTES - Organic Wastes such as Tops & Residues converted into Valued Added Products.
- WASTE SOLVENTS - Waste solvents such as Methanol, Pet Ether, Cyclohexane redistilled and recycled into the process.
- MULTIPLE EFFECT EVAPORATOR - High TDS water waste processed and reused.
- EMISSIONS - managed and maintained within the prescribed environment norms by putting ESP’s for all boilers.
- GREEN CHEMISTRY - Changes effected in the process to substantially reduce water effluents, organic solvents and organic waste generation.
- ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE - Unit - I, Unit - II, Unit - III, Unit - VI(1), Unit - VI(2), Biotechnology Lab (Ec Compliance Report, Ec Letter & Form V), and Prigiv
The chemical industry is by far not the only reason for environmental pollution - this would be the burning of coal followed by increasing car traffic and others. Around the globe, the chemical industry often gets a large share of the public attention because of the localized nature of its pollution and the general lack of awareness with chemical processes.
Respect for the environment is a natural outgrowth of Privi’s legacy of responsible innovation. Through solutions across the range of our manufacturing process, we aim to reduce emissions, recycle waste and improve our eco-friendly operations.
Environment Day 2024
We, at Privi celebrate World Environment Day every year. This year's theme ‘Land restoration, desertification and drought resilience’, which draws our attention towards playing our role effectively while living in perfect harmony with nature - without proving a burden on it. We celebrated Environment Day by arrange several activities like planting trees, awareness program on environmental issues of global warming, sustainability’s value and future need etc.
