SUSTAINABLE & ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION (SEIP) Activities in Uttarakhand: Monthly Progress Report – April, 2017

Introduction “Sustainable and Environment-friendly Industrial Production – SEIP” is a joint project of the Ministry of

Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale

Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH within the framework of Indo-German Technical Cooperation. The objective

of the SEIP project is to enable Indian public and private stakeholders to jointly implement strategies for

efficient, environment- friendly, and climate-friendly industrial development.

The project aims at mitigating environmental problems caused by industrial production focusing on

industrial wastewater and solid waste management. During the project duration, technical solutions as well

as business and management models to reduce acute environmental pollution and to improve resource

efficiency in industrial production are piloted in five Indian industrial estates. Visible positive direct impacts

of the solutions showcased are to improve conditions directly at the sites, and to unfold a strong signal

effect leading to the replication and upscaling of solutions in industrial parks throughout India. Project

activities focus on wastewater conveyance systems, the treatment, recycling and reuse of wastewater,

waste management as well as the management and planning practices in the industrial areas. Solutions

are piloted in 5 selected industrial areas located in the states of Delhi, Gujarat and Uttarakhand.

Further cross-cutting activities, such as the development of a market-driven training system for technicians

and operators of effluent treatment plants, the development of industry-wide environmental standards, the

work on a green rating system for industrial areas, and the setting up of a technology platform offering

international exchange of best practice technologies target the improvement of enabling framework

conditions for sustainable industrial production in India.

SEIP started in March 2015 and will run until February 2018 (with a likely extension of 12 months) and has

a budget of EUR 6.5 million. A brief overview of the SEIP Project is given at Annexure 1.

5) MISCELLANEOUS

1. Solutions for the modernisation and upgradation of 1 CETP and 9 ETPs About the activity: The objective is to find measures to modernize the operation of the CETPs and nine selected ETPs in the

industrial estate. SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar has a CETP of 9 MLD design capacity. Over 400 units are

connected to it. The project was awarded on BOT basis to SK UEM Water Projects Private Limited on a

20-year agreement. The CETP currently caters to only about 2.65 MLD of waste water (domestic and

industrial). The key issues related to CETP are:

Ensure “all time compliance” of CETP/ETP and compliance of discharges of individual industries to the permissible limits of pollutant parameters

Achieve Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and find ways how to recycle and reuse treated wastewater

Existing business and management models of CETP need improvement.

Summary of progress so far:

German consultancy (Gopa Infra) hired to provide detailed problem analysis and corresponding conceptual solutions. Work started in September 2016.

Gopa Infra visited 20 industries for initial assessment and selection of final 09 industries for ETP upgradation and modernisation activities.

Completion of rapid pollution assessment study by IIT Roorkee in October 2016

Completion of economic assessment study on CETP by IDEC, Bangalore in April 2017

Questionnaires for data collection on wastewater discharge from ETPs and CETP developed by Gopa Infra.

Progress for the current month:

GIS based mapping for IIE Haridwar has been initiated and is currently ongoing

Draft action plan on ETP and CETP upgradation and modernizations submitted by Gopa Infra

Critical evaluation report of CETP at SIIDCUL Haridwar submitted for suggestions.

2. Improvement in storm water drainage systems

About the activity: The aim of this activity is to retrofit wastewater conveyance and storm water drainage systems.

3 | P a g e

The storm water drainage systems in at IIE Haridwar are in a bad condition. Overflow of these systems

leads to overflow which poses problems to the CETP due to the pollutants carried by the water.

Summary of progress so far: activity is yet to start

Progress for the current month: activity is yet to start

3. Environmental improvement in 50 individual industries to reduce pollution and increase resource efficiency at company level

About the activity: This objective of this activity is to implement measures that will lead to either a reduction in pollution or an

increase in resource efficiency thereby improving the environmental improvements of a company and

demonstrating the effectiveness of the measure at hand. The total number of industrial units established in

Haridwar city as on March 31, 2014, is about 750, of which 460 are within the SIIDCUL IIE Haridwar. Most

of the industries are connected to the CETP; however, some face connectivity problems to the conveyance

systems due to slopes in the area. Most of the companies use old technologies and inefficient operational

techniques. Pollution and non-compliance with environmental statutory requirements are the order of the

day.

50 companies at which technically sound and financially viable techniques and technologies are to be

implemented, have been selected. The first step is the assessment for the scope of process optimisation

and improvements in resource efficiency (materials, water, energy) before detailing and implementing the

solutions suggested. Subsequently, the replication of successful solutions is to be enabled in other

industries/industrial areas.
