1 Green Initiatives at UPL DOING THINGS BETTER Ashish Dagade 8th Dec-13 Ashish Dagade UPL 1

2 Outline Initiatives Outside UPL Infrastructure Pathway Implemented Projects Ashish Dagade UPL 2

3 Group companies Initiatives outside UPL BEIL (Bharuch Enviro Infrastructure Ltd), Ankleshwar, Gujarat (solid & hazardous waste management) Enviro Technology Ltd (ETL) Ankleshwar, Gujarat (common effluent treatment plant) UPL Environmental Engineers Ltd (consultancy & turnkey projects) Ashish Dagade UPL 3

4 Infrastructure High level of Awareness at Top level & drive by top management Well equipped PI & Microbiology lab Expertise teams of Process engineers, Process Chemists, Energy & Microbiology scale up & technical guidance by expertise from ICT, IIT Ashish Dagade UPL 4

5 Focuses on Process optimization Yield improvement & Efficiency enhancement Identify & implement Advanced Technologies to manufacturing eg converting batch processes to more efficient continuous processes Equipment selection to fit Manufacturing needs Process automation Ashish Dagade UPL 5

6 Focus on Identify & implement best energy practices Optimization of energy utilization Implement energy saving projects Reduction in specific consumption Energy from alternate source / alternate fuel Ashish Dagade UPL 6

$Converting non-degradable waste into Biodegradable form Cracking refractory COD Energy recovery from waste streams Ashish Dagade UPL$

7 Focus on Waste Reduction at source Recovering value added products from waste streams Recovering products/intermediates from waste Converting non-degradable waste into Biodegradable form Cracking refractory COD Energy recovery from waste streams Ashish Dagade UPL 7

8 In manufacturing sites Energy Cell MAXPRO GREEN CELL Fuel Raw Materials Solvents Energy Generation Process Recovery Power Products Waste solvents By product recovery Wastes Intermediate Recovery

9 Pathway Idea Generation Evaluation by relevant team POC at Lab scale Commissioning Scheme & Capex Capex approval Realization Project implementation

10 Pesticide product manufacturing A solvent (Methanol) is replaced with Water in the processing. This initiative has eliminated 1000TPA of Methanol usage Improvement in quality by 3% and Improvement in Yield by 3% Ashish Dagade UPL 10

Pesticide manufacturing Methyl Chloride is generated in manufacturing most of the units either vent it or incinerate it UPL have installed a Methyl

11 Pesticide manufacturing Methyl Chloride is generated in manufacturing most of the units either vent it or incinerate it UPL have installed a Methyl Chloride Recovery Plant Recovered Methyl Chloride is saleable byproduct and generates revenue MeCl convert in to By-Product (Poultry Feed) Ashish Dagade UPL 11

12 Pesticide Intermediate manufacturing A solvent Hexane is completely eliminated from the process step to make it neat reaction. This initiative has eliminated almost 500TPA of Hexane usage Eliminated 50TPA of Hexane losses to atmosphere Ashish Dagade UPL 12

highly bio-degradable form Elimination of evaporation of 3000kL per year

13 Before After Copper hydroxide from waste from 10kLD effluent Technology precipitation followed by resin absorption Conversion of the streams in highly bio-degradable form Elimination of evaporation of 3000kL per year 100TPA recovery of Cu(OH)2 Annual benefits of Rs 100 LPA Ashish Dagade UPL 13

14 Two steps of Intermediates for Pesticide 300TPA waste streams was sent for incineration Developed process to recover intermediates Recovered intermediates recycled in process Eliminated incineration of 300TPA waste Resulted into yield improvement by 3-5% and Annual benefits Rs 150 Lacs Ashish Dagade UPL 14

15 Non-bio degradable streams into degradable form Pretreatment to streams (eg hydrolysis, stripping, ion exhange, etc) Culture enrichment & development for specific wastes Bio-Augmentation Successful implementation of three streams Elimination of evaporation of 50kLD of effluent Steam saving of 50TPD Annual benefits Rs 450 Lacs Ashish Dagade UPL 15

Measures by energy cell Chemical free treatment for cooling tower eliminating annual usage of 1ton treatment chemicals per site Condensing economizer for fuel norm reduction in boiler Condensate

16 Measures by energy cell Chemical free treatment for cooling tower eliminating annual usage of 1ton treatment chemicals per site Condensing economizer for fuel norm reduction in boiler Condensate recovery system with CCDS system. Efficient refrigeration system to get Lowest Kw/TR. Replacement CFC refrigerants by Ammonia gas Bio Gas plant for canteen and bio waste. Use of solar water heaters for all canteen & bathrooms Ashish Dagade UPL 16
