APPM has shown a dedicated concern for Safety, Health & Environment and has taken adequate precautions for ensuring health and safety of its employees and the responsibility of controlling and preventing pollution.
For enhanced environmental care, APPM has taken various steps like: |
| |
 |
Installing devices such as dust collector and Electrostatic Precipitators |
|
Utilizing solid wastes like wood/bamboo dust as auxiliary fuel in its Coal Fired Boilers |
|
Recalcining lime sludge in its Rotary Lime Kiln to regenerate the required burnt lime for
re-use in the, preparation of cooking liquor |
|
| |
At APPM, all effluents after primary and secondary treatment, are pumped through two Hume pipes to the sand shoals located over 612 acres of land in the middle of Godavari. This effluent then passes though an elaborate land treatment system. To maintain this facility, the Company incurs a recurring cost of Rs. 50 Lakhs per annum. The efficacy of the system has been dearly reflected through its natural, physical, chemical, and biological processes in the soil-water-air matrix. |

APPM has also commissioned the biggest Diffused Aeration System in paper industry this year. This system consumes less power and gives higher reduction of BOD & COD due to better absorption efficiency of Oxygen compound when compared to conventional Surface Aeration System |

APPM keenly considers every element and process wherein environment can be protected. In the year FY 2005-06, there has been a considerable reduction in consumption of power and chemicals. There has also been a marginal reduction in consumption of raw materials, along with arrangements for alternate source of raw materials. Coal dependency and external power have also experienced a marginal drop in consumption. Modern technology has also been deployed for recycling and reusing water. The decrease in the consumption of these resources as well as cost-effectiveness has led to an overall lower manufacturing cost this year. |
