Sustainability

Responsible fluorine chemistry for a sustainable future

Our Sustainability Commitment

Manufacturing fluorine chemicals responsibly — protecting people, communities, and the environment

💧

Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD)

Our facility is designed for zero liquid discharge, ensuring that no untreated wastewater leaves our premises. All process water is treated, recycled, and reused in our manufacturing operations, minimizing freshwater consumption and eliminating water pollution.

🌬️

Emission Control

Advanced scrubber systems capture and neutralize fluoride emissions from our manufacturing processes. Stack emissions are continuously monitored to remain well below GPCB/CPCB prescribed limits of 2 mg/Nm³ for HF.

♻️

Waste Minimization

We practice waste minimization at source through process optimization, raw material efficiency, and byproduct recovery. CaF₂ sludge from our effluent treatment is managed as per Schedule I of the Hazardous Waste Rules 2016.

Energy Efficiency

Continuous investment in energy-efficient equipment — from variable frequency drives on pumps to heat recovery from exothermic reactions. Our goal is to reduce specific energy consumption per tonne of product by 15% by 2027.

🧪

Green Chemistry Principles

We actively explore greener synthesis routes, including the use of fluosilicic acid (a byproduct of the phosphate fertilizer industry) as an alternative fluoride source — converting waste into valuable fluorochemicals.

📊

Environmental Monitoring

Regular third-party environmental audits, continuous effluent monitoring, and transparent reporting to GPCB. Our environmental management system is integrated into our ISO 9001:2015 quality framework.

Regulatory Compliance

Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB)

Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO) maintained in good standing. Regular compliance inspections and environmental audits.

Effluent Standards

Fluoride in treated effluent maintained below 2 mg/L (CPCB standard). pH, TSS, COD, and heavy metals monitored daily with NABL-accredited lab testing.

Hazardous Waste Management

CaF₂ sludge and other process wastes managed per Hazardous Waste Management Rules 2016. Authorized waste disposal through GPCB-approved TSDF facilities.

Occupational Health & Safety

Comprehensive safety protocols for HF handling, personal protective equipment programs, regular health monitoring for employees, and emergency response preparedness.
