IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN BY THECLEAN TECHNOLOGY DIVISION

(a)Demonstration projects for Development of Cleaner Technologies: In orderto facilitate access to clean technology and its adoption by the small and medium scaleindustries, in identified industrial activities in need of switch over to cleaner technologiesand waste management strategies, assistance in the form of grant in aid would beprovided to autonomous institutions/statutory bodies under Central and StateGovernment in the field of R&D/Extension or registered companies having healthyfinancial record, with inhouse R&D units, preferably recognized by DSIR, and having tieup/ collaboration with industries/consortium for setting up pilot/demonstration projectsfor new technology/up-gradation of available technology, in such industrial clusters, 24industrial sectors have been idetified by the Ministry.

The proposals are invited through open advertisement in the importal daily news

papers. Format of the proposal is available in the guidelines. The support from theMinistry would primarily cover prototype development, cost of pilot plant, cost of processequipment development, test and evaluation of products, user trials, running cost (rawmaterials, consumables, hardware/ software tools, components/sub-assemblies forprototype, equipment for pilot plant etc.), contingencies, travels and salaries for theconsultants and supporting staff etc. This does not include the cost of the land andbuilding, which shall be provided by the project proponent/industry. The scale ofassistance would be limited to 75% of the project cost, excluding land and building.

(b)Life Cycle Assessment: Life Cycle Assessment Studies in Thermal PowerPlants, Steel, Pulp and Paper, Cement and Construction Studies has beencompleted while wood and Bamboo Composite Products are likely to be completed.

(c)Carrying Capacity Studies: Carrying capacity studies of Greater Kochi

Region, Doon Valley, Damodar River Basin, Tapi Estuary and National CapitalRegion (NCR), Natural Resource Accounting Studies for Upper Yamuna Basin; hasbeen completed.

(d) Creation of data base for Clean Technologies:The project on Data Base on

the available cleaner technologies in the country as well as in abroad, Evolving aNetworking Mechanism of the Research Institutions of the country, Capacity

Building in the financial sector and application of fiscal instruments for adoption

of clean technologies by the Small Scale Industries are in progress. Ministry hasawarded the project to CPCB with 18 months duration. Unfortunately, it is gettingdelayed.

(f) Training programmes for Adoption of Clean Technologies etc.: Theobjectives of the training program is to provide the participants with hands-on

training on Cleaner Production (CP) approaches and methodologies; wasteminimization techniques; understanding of environmental acts, rules &regulations, understanding basic design, operating features of Pollution Control

devices/technologies; operation & maintenance issues along with possibilities of

reducing production costs and improved productivity, case studies of variouscleaner production/technologies adopted etc.

(f)Development of Clean Technology Park for showcasing important cleaner

technologies: Establishment of a clean technology park is under considerationof this Ministry. This will help to make the industries aware about the cleanertechnologies available in the country. It will also help them to understand theenvironmental as well as economic benefits of the technologies. Model of the CleanTechnology Park is yet to be finalized. GIZ has agreed to provide technical

assistance for setting up of the Park. Once the model is finalized, the work on thePark would be initiated.

Clean Technology Park would also be a centre for training to the environmentalofficers/managers. Course material for the training for each sector would beprepared and designed by a group of experts. Accordingly, training will be

imparted in the Park itself. Provisions would be made to give certificate for diplomaor short term cources to the trainee to make the Clean Technology Park moreuseful and attaractive.

Saravanan, professor, Mechanical Engineering Department.The project has been funded to the tune of Rs. 55 lakh by the Union Ministry of Environment andForests, and has come to fruition after three years endeavour. It is an interdisciplinary achievementas M. Gopalkrishnan, professor, Department of Chemistry, has provided the critical input to crackthe raw materials - plastic pellets.

Mr. Saravanan told The Hinduthat plastic pellets were being obtained from discarded plasticmaterials such as milk and water sachets, pet bottles, containers of carbonated drinks, plastic chairs,etc.

With the help of heavy capacity crusher, the plastic articles are shredded into pellets and fed into themelter whose temperature could be controlled through a panel. Mr. Saravanan further said that in

breaking the pellets, fly ash was being used as a catalyst.

Flyash obtained from the Neyveli Lignite Corporation had been found ideal as it had all the requiredproperties such as silica 60 per cent, alumina 13 per cent and iron 15 per cent.However, for the inert flyash to act as a catalyst it ought to be initially activated and the formula forthe same had been kept a closely-guarded secret. Mr. Saravanan further said that with the catalyst it

would take two hours to get 50 litres of fuel and without catalyst, 9 hours .Temperature variance would determine the kind of output. For instance, petrol could be obtained at100 degree Celsius and diesel, 150 degree Celsius. Gas would be a by-product that could be utilisedfor cooking purposes.

Mr. Saravanan also said that the fuel obtained from the unit was being used for running generatorsets in the engineering faculty. He also demonstrated the use of the fuel in a motorcycle.

As the fuel thus obtained had low sulphur content, high cetane number and high calorific value, itwould help in smooth functioning of engines. Production cost of diesel worked out to Rs. 25 a litreand that of petrol, Rs. 30 a litre. He said that the unit does not emit harmful gases or any odour.

Mr. Gopalakrishnan said that examination of residue from the unit was found to be free from anyharmful effect, and even the small quantity of left-over substance could be profitably re-cycled.University Administrator Shiv Das Meena suggested that patent could be obtained for the fuel unitand efforts should be made to disseminate knowledge about the technology.

Director (Clean energy) of Union Ministry of Environment and Forests M. Salahuddin congratulatedthe professors and their teams.

Research can help to conserve resources

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

There is a pressing need to protect the earth from overexploitation or plundering of its naturalresources by certain countries.

It calls for doing extensive research by educational institutions on conserving resources and fulfilling

the requirements of growth projections, said M. Salahuddin, Director (Clean Energy), UnionMinister of Environment and Forests.

He was speaking at a national workshop on Fuel from waste plastics as engine fuel substitute,organised under the aegis of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology of Annamalai University atChidambaram on Saturday.

He said that for promoting such environment-related research work, educational institutions shouldset up common instrumentation facility so that all departments could benefit.


41/75

Annamalai University was equipped with laudable facilities and as such out of the four projectstaken up by his department, two were entrusted to the university.

Mr. Salahuddin underscored the point that limited resources were meant for the entire humanityand not any particular community, section or country. Technology evolved by the MechanicalEngineering and Chemistry Departments of Annamalai University for extracting fuel from wasteplastics seemed to be eco-friendly.

The university should take the technology far and wide, he said.

University Administrator Shiv Das Meena called upon the university to set up a research committeeto evaluate research projects and infuse transparency in research activities.He also acknowledged the need for a common instrumentation facility that could be accessed by alldepartments for research purposes.

As fossil fuel reserves would last hardly a few decades, there is a need for taking forward the newfuel technology, Mr Meena said.

1. INTRODUCTION:

1.1 A grant-in-aid scheme on Development and Promotion of Clean Technologies wasinitiated in 1994. Clean Technologies are distinct and different from end-of-pipe abatement

technologies, minimizing the generation of waste streams in the production processes andutilizing the wastes from other consumption goods and production processes, rather thantreating the wastes after generation. In general, clean technologies are less intensive inusing the raw materials and energy than conventional technologies, which rely on pollutionabatement after generation. The Ministry has been providing financial assistance under theCentral Sector Plan Scheme for those projects whose primary research has already beencompleted and is ready for Pilot scale demonstration research on innovative technologies inthe areas of highly polluting categories of industries. Main objective of the demonstrationresearch projects was to standardize the data obtained after primary research to developand demonstrate the suitability of the prototype and to study the feasibility of the technologyin the Indian environmental conditions both from economic and scientific points of view.

1.2 Main objective of the Scheme related to waste minimization was to optimize theconsumption of raw materials and also to reduce waste generation by adopting suitableproduction techniques which are cleaner in nature and can be adopted by the existing unitswithout necessarily changing the production processes or unit operations. The approach tothe problem was towards utilizing the existing production facilities in an optimal manner.The purpose of the scheme was to assist primarily the Small and Medium Scale units whichdo not have access to the requisite technical expertise to achieve waste minimization. Theprogramme aimed at not only achieving waste reduction and bringing down the overall costof production through optimization in one or more units but also building confidence amongother industrial units in the cluster/region to take similar initiatives.

1.3 The Ministry of Environment & Forests proposes to merge the abovementioned twosub-schemes on clean Technologies and waste minimization respectively and to streamlinethe process of project submission, appraisal, monitoring along with strengthening industry-research linkage to ensure adoption of technologies/strategies developed, with a focus onsmall and medium sector.

2. OBJECTIVES:

2.1 The primary objectives of the scheme are:

(i) Identification of priority areas and development of appropriate economically viableclean technologies and waste minimization strategies for small scale and mediumscale industries through interface with industry, R&D establishments and academicinstitutions,

(ii) Promotion and adoption of clean technologies and waste minimization strategies bythe industry/industrial clusters through setting up of pilot/demonstration projects onprototype development,

(iii)Absorption and up-gradation of imported clean technologies and their demonstrationthrough pilot projects,


45/75

3. SECTORS OF INTEREST:

testing and evaluation of products, user trials, contingencies, travel costs andsalaries for the consultants and supporting staff etc. This does not include the costof the land and building, which shall be provided by the project proponent/industry.The scale of central assistance would be limited to 75% of the project cost, excludingland and building. In such cases the balance minimum 25% contribution would bemade by the project proponent/participating industry. Some contribution by industrywould be mandatory.

(ii) Waste Minimisation Circles: Ministry has been facilitating and supporting WasteMinimisation Circles through Industry associations / organisations to promotepractices relating to waste minimisation and its utilisation by the Industries. While the

establishment of these circles have contributed significantly in popularizing wasteminimisation strategies amongst industries, it is felt that it would be more effective ifWaste Minimisation Circles should be encouraged at the state level, as per localconditions, by the SPCB, as a conclave of preventive technologies spearheaded bypolluting industries themselves. As such, it is proposed to facilitate formation ofWaste Minimisation Circles at the State level by Conclave of Industries inconsultation with SPCBs and support the same.

The Programme aims to achieve waste reduction through optimization in one ormore units, sharing of experiences with each other to achieve reduction in waste andalso in production cost. The assistance for carrying out the activities of Waste

Minimisation Circles would be available to registered societies of member industries,which may work under the supervision and guidance of Project Proponent extensioninstitutions/industry body. Norms for prioritization of industrial area/clusters forsupport and deliverable would be as per details given in guidelines. The scale ofsupport to such registered societies would be limited to 90% of the cost of approvedactivities at cluster level with 10% of the contribution from memberindustries/registered societies. In addition, 100% support for manpower and projectsupervision shall be given to the project proponent.


49/75

(iii) Survey and Research Studies: Projects related to carrying capacity/life cycleassessment studies, creation of data base and survey of Best AvailableTechnologies, feasibility of the economic instruments etc. comes under this category.100% assistance is available to the project proponent.
