letter dt: 12-03-2007. The industry has not submitted the application for Hazardous
Waste Management Authorisation under HW(M&H) Rules, 1989.

During inspection on 15-03-2007, it was observed that the industry was

in operation. The industry is manufacturing Aluminium Alloy Ingots to the tune of
7.5 TPD (Avg. from March’06 to Feb’ 07). The main source of air pollution due to
this unit are oil fired furnace of capacity 5T/8hr & 3T/8hr. , 500 KVA D.G set, 63KVA
D.G set one No. of oil fired crucible, 6 Nos. of coal fired crucibles. But, the
industry has provided air pollution control equipment i.e., wet scrubber followed by
12mt stack to oil fire furnace of capacity – 5 T/8hr. only. The oil fire furnace of
capacity – 3T/8hr. is meant for Aluminium extruder & drawn section, which is yet to
be commission. The industry has not provided any control equipment for one oil
fired crucible and 6 Nos. of coal fired crucibles.

The main source of water pollution due to this unit are cooling section,
scrubbing section and domestic usage. The industry generates hazardous waste
i.e., waste oil from D.G sets and oil sludge from furnace oil storage tank and
proposed to dispose the same authorized parties. The industry generates 0.2 TPD
of iron waste & 0.45 TPD of dross as solid waste against production of 7.5 TPD. It
is reported that the industry is disposing the iron waste to the steel units and
disposing the dross as land filling.

During inspection, the stack monitoring was carried out at stack attached to
the oil fired furnace of capacity – 5 T/8hr. and the SPM concentration was found to
be 105.32 µg/Nm3.

I Maintenance of ETP / APC : Industry has provided wet scrubber as air pollution
control equipment attached to oil fired furnace of capacity – 5 T/8hr. and
operating at the time of inspection.
II Records Maintained
• ETP Log Book.
• Stack Monitoring Report.
• Ambient Air Quality Monitoring report.
• Energy consumption records.
• Water meter readings.
