Significance, Achievements & Benefits of Co-processing Gujarat Pollution Control Board Hardik Shah, IAS Member Secretary Gujarat Pollution Control Board 1
Content Concept and history of co-processing Role of GPCB Benefits of co-processing Pre-processing facility Initiatives by GPCB Current scenario Barriers Mile Stones Way forward 2
Co-processing Definition: Co-processing is the use of waste as raw material, or as a source of energy or both to replace natural mineral resources and fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, gas mainly in energy intensive industries like cement, lime, steel, glass and power generation. Waste materials used for co-processing are referred as AFR i.e. Alternative Fuel and Raw material 3
History Cement kiln co-processing technology is accepted by Basel convention for disposal of hazardous wastes The cement kiln co-processing technology is accepted by Montreal protocol for disposal of POPs. Cement kiln co-processing of POPs, hazardous and non hazardous wastes is practiced widely and successfully in many countries around the world A regulatory forum (RF) consisting of Member Secretary of AP, RJ, OR, TN, Karnataka along with representative of MoEF, CPCB, CMA and IIP have been constituted under the Chairmanship of MS, GPCB and published 5 nos. of WHITE PAPERS 4
Benefits of co-processing : Reduces demand on natural resources Contributes towards lowering of emissions such as greenhouse gases Reduce requirement of land required for land fills Maximizes the recovery of resources present in the waste Reduces the economical burden on the industry 5 * SRS Data
Benefits of co-processing : Reduces the Health hazard associated with disposal of Hazardous waste by other pathways i.e. land disposal & incineration of the hazardous waste In order to set an integrated waste management strategy and an appropriate technical infrastructure for disposing of waste in a controlled and environmentally sound manner 6
GPCB s Approach GPCB adopted a proactive approach Facilitator instead of a Regulator Team work and collaboration with stack holders instead of Command and Control To set an integrated waste management strategy and an appropriate technical infrastructure for utilization of waste in a cement kiln 7

Barriers Unorganized handling of the Hazardous & Other Wastes. Limited area of storage for H&OW in Small and Medium Enterprises. Higher rate of H&OW generation. Non suitability of waste for disposal to TSDF Source Segregation of Municipal Solid Waste Utilization of RDF as an AFR in Cement Kilns is not economically viable for cement industries. Transportation fees for transporting RDF are very high. 33 * SRS Data
Barriers Variation in wastes characteristics leads to frequent change in operational parameters &blend ratio Limitation on chloride & fluoride contents in wastes needs to be addressed. Waste can be co- processed after giving adequate treatment from Chlorine removal. Installation of adequate feeding system for different wastes. Health aspect of workers. Lack of adequate facility for pre-processing in major industrial cluster. 34 * SRS Data
Mile Stones GPCB has taken an Initiative to achieve the target of 50,00,000 MT of waste co-processed at the end of March 2017. Under the Gatisheel Gujarat - a program launched by Hon ble CM Smt. Anandiben Patel, the forests and environment department has targeted 28 lack MT of waste co processing under concept of waste to wealth 35
Way Forward To encourage the preprocessing facilities in hazardous waste generating industrial clusters & cement plants Supply of adequate Online Tracking system for HAZ-Waste at national level Encouraging segregation facilities of MSW for coprocessing for preparation of RDF Supply of technology to monitor online, all emission parameters Removal or reduction of frequent permissions for different wastes Way Forward 36 * SRS Data
Way Forward The issue of interstate movement of hazardous & other waste is now require to intimate both the SPCB before waste procurement. Technological aspects need to be promoted so as to conserve the fuel in place of utilization of waste as resource Waste exchange Banks / Collection Centers to provide information on wastes Sector wise and region wise meetings are on way to use hazardous waste for co processing To identify new sectors and their waste generators to link up with cement industries Way Forward 37 * SRS Data
