Recommendations:<br />

1. The effluent generated from the factory contains high Chlorides,TDS and high<br />

COD/BOD ratio. The existing biological treatment system is ineffective for achieving<br />

the prescribed quality. Hence the company shall be directed to provide alternate<br />

treatment techniques such as evaporation system for eliminating pollution problems<br />

and achieving zero discharge system. The unit despite notice , have not taken any<br />

initiative to treat the inorganic toxic effluent generated . The discharge of toxic<br />

effluent by employing dilution technology after the biological treatment system is<br />

violation of Water(Prevention and Control of Pollution)Act 1974. A sister concern of<br />

this unit generating similar toxic effluent had to go for other non-biological<br />

treatment system. Until such system is installed the unit must be asked to stop<br />

production as the present ETP is found inadequate and ineffective.<br />

2. The actual quantity of effluent discharge should be assessed for the maximum<br />

production rate.<br />

3. Maximum production rate reported in the proforma is found to exceed the quantity<br />

specified in the consent order.<br />

4. Chlorine gas is admittedly used in the factory for processing purpose. But Chlorine<br />

gas is not included among the list of raw materials furnished to the committee. It is<br />

noticed from the proforma submitted by Merchem (India) Pvt. Ltd. Chlorine gas is<br />

used for producing MBTS/MBS. It should be ascertained whether M/s Merchem<br />

<strong>Limited</strong>, Edayar is manufacturing these products, which are not disclosed in the<br />

application submitted to the committee /PCB.<br />

5. Products manufactured and Production rate shall be verified.<br />

6. During the inspection of the factory it was noticed that fresh water dilution is<br />

employed at the discharge point of Effluent treatment plant for achieving the<br />

prescribed effluent quality. This should be stopped forthwith. The company should go<br />

for zero effluent discharge system by providing other treatment techniques such as<br />

evaporation.<br />

7. The premises of the effluent treatment plant near the well found containing effluent<br />

and slurry from Effluent treatment plant<br />

8. House keeping is to be improved.<br />
