)")) ) $) Environmental Management in BEL - n Pursuit of ustainable

Development Bharat Electronics Limited, in line with this global concern, has set out
several initiatives towards creating a cleaner environment and pays scrupulous attention to
controlling pollution. Development of suitable methods and effective management processes,
wherever they are susceptible to pollution, supported by a conscientious workforce, makes
BEL an environmentally responsible industry. The records indicate total compliance.
Even the quick view one registers while entering the factory premises of Bharat Electronics,
presents a green picture of the healthy environmental practices prevalent in the company.
Lush-green lawns and gardens, interspersed with trees, surround the well-maintained
buildings.

)")) ! ) $)#
Ever since the first accreditation to O 14001 Environmental Management ystem was
conferred in 2002, the enthusiasm to maintain a clean environment spread like wildfire. All
¦c

the six BUs of Bangalore Complex and the related ervices Groups are now certified.
Though different BUs and service groups have distinct focus in their manufacturing and
business operations, their common goal of maintaining cleaner surroundings has united them
in finding solutions to environmental issues.

! )
Even the inconspicuous emission to air is checked through stacks and chimneys. Gases
passing through these chimneys are treated and monitored within the limits specified by the
Karnataka tate Pollution Control Board (KPCB). To ensure compliance, the Quality
Assurance Division, independent of the operating centres, monitors the quality of air samples
once in 30 days. f variations are observed, prompt corrective actions put the system in order.

''!) )
The domestic effluents are treated in two effluent treatment plants located in the factory
premises. Each day around 1,500 Kilolitres of domestic waste water undergoes biological
treatment, followed by clarification, filtration and chlorination. Domestic waste water is
treated and recycled for gardening purposes and is not discharged outside, thereby
eliminating pollution and saving water. We practice zero discharge.

!#)#
By establishing a closed conduit pipeline system, at a cost of Rs.40 lakhs, for carrying
primary-treated process effluents from Plating hops and other Processing Centres to the
Centralised Effluent Treatment Plant, BEL has avoided flow of such effluents in open drains,
eliminating the related pollution and mixing with rain water.

!. # ) $)
A system exists for collection of waste and disposal of the same in an orderly manner after
proper segregation. All metal scraps are segregated at the source itself. Hazardous wastes are
handled separately and stored in the well-protected central hazardous waste store constructed
exclusively for this purpose and disposed as per legal norms. A high level of awareness
exists on handling and disposing such materials to take care of the environmental
requirements and legislation

¦¦

3 #. # ) $)#
Management of hazardous waste is a key issue in environmental management. Bharat
Electronics has established an impeccable system by constructing an exclusive, well-
protected place for safe-keeping the hazardous waste with an enclosed area of 640 sq. meters.
ntermediate stores exist in each division wherein identified Hazardous Wastes are quantified
and stored. After these items are brought and stored in the central hazardous waste stores,
Engineering ervices Division disposes them as per the norms of Karnataka tate Pollution
Control Board. This avoids several kinds of pollution that would normally occur due to
spillage, mixing with rain water or inadvertent mixing with other materials, etc. This system
in practice effectively prevents pollution caused by hazardous wastes.

! )()!$
The real solution to environmental pollution lies, not merely in mitigating its adverse
impacts, but in preventing the generation of the pollutants proactively through application of
cleaner technology in our processes. Our assiduous search for environmentally-friendly
processes took us further in the prevention of pollution. The following initiatives present a
brief account of our attempts towards cleaner processes and environment-friendly
technology.
Change of process was made by switching over from hazardous metal odium treatment to
environment-friendly aqueous process for PTFE based Copper Clad Printed Circuit Boards
Manufacturing.
Copper is one of the important materials used in the manufacture of Printed Circuit Boards
but the process waste generated shall be free from copper. Many process changes were
effected to reduce such copper related pollution through the following actions
By introduction of auto-dosers and collection of the spent alkaline etchant in Carboys, by
laying drain pipelines, reduction of Copper content in the effluent entering the primary
treatment plant was effected.
By introduction of Red-ox potential based auto dosing units in acid etching plants and laying
of drain piping system from etchant chambers to collection chambers, reduction of Copper
content in effluent was also achieved.
The chemistry of Desmearing Process has been changed from HF to Permanganate Process,
which eliminates complete Fluoride content.

¦

!$()$"!)'(! )()!$#
An effective pollution control system targets reduction in hazardous waste generated. everal
processes were studied in detail and modifications implemented with a view to minimising
sludge generation, a hazardous waste.
n Components manufacturing Division, Calcium Chloride in place of lime, odium
Hypochlorate in place of Bleaching powder and odium Meta Bi-sulphide in place of Ferrous
ulphate are employed to reduce the sludge generation.
n our primary treatment plants for process effluent, change of chemical from Lime to
Caustic Lye (Liquid) reduced the ludge Quantity to less than 25 %.
n Zinc Plating process of Low Power Equipment Division, use of Cyanide compound was
eliminated by switching over to Cyanide-free Zinc plating process, which has not only done
away with cyanide effluent but also the sludge generated during its neutralization.
#$)'! ))"))
Our Research and Development Departments also look for environmentally friendly
components. Certain electronic components have been introduced in some of our design to
exclude the hazardous effects of materials such as Polybrominated compounds, Hexavalent
Chromium, Mercury, Beryllium Oxide, PC and Lead, during their disposal. Use of energy
efficient devices, introduced in the equipment designs, results in resource conservation in
addition to reducing the operating cost.

!#(# ) $)
The organization's prognosis of the looming dangers of indiscriminate use of natural
resources led to several conservation measures. The concerted efforts put forth in saving
energy, water and fuel are significant.
. )#" )
Conservation of water is an environmental imperative for any responsible industry. We look
for every possible means to save water. Water conservation efforts, like any other material
conservation strategy, involve three approaches - reduce, reuse and recycle. We focus on each
of them.

(# $
The Company has concentrated on improving the process efficiency to reduce the water
¦*

consumption. The leakage in various processes were identified and prevented. Old
equipment, where the efficiency in usage of water has come down, were reconditioned to
improve the performance. mproved supervision and installation of sprinkler system resulted
in better utilization of Horticulture water.

(% # $
Reduction in wastage of water is an important aspect. Leakage in pipelines, leakage caused
by old valves and inadequate maintenance problems were solved. The measures taken in this
direction include replacement of the leaking pipelines and replacement of old valves with
new valves, which are also available with improved modern technology. The overhead tanks
are provided with auto level controllers to avoid manual errors. Many a time taps in common
facilities such as sinks and flushing system are kept open when the tank is empty and water
gushes out when the tank gets filled. Replacement of such taps with push cock taps and auto
flush for urinals have brought down such wastage.
#'.
Reuse of water is to use the same water repeatedly in the process. The application is limited,
as in most of the applications the water becomes unfit for use. However, an attempt has been
made in the bus wash yards to reuse the water with minor treatment. An oil-water separation
plant has been set up to reduce the pollution due to oil and to conserve water. This saves
about 30 kiloliters of water everyday.
((!
The effluent treatment plants treat both domestic and process effluents and recycle around
2500 Kilolitres per day to meet approximately 42% of the water requirement.

The Rainwater Harvesting reservoir inaugurated on April 17, 2003, mainly recharges ground
water and is expected to supply water for our own use in the future. uch a large-scale
rainwater harvesting system with a storage capacity of 170 Million Litres built at a cost of
Rs.57 Lakhs, is known to be the first of its kind by an industry in the country. This will help
not only our company but our neighbourhood as well.
We are moving towards creating greenery in every area, not covered by buildings or other
utility. Not to constrain this progress by shortage of water, the organization has entered into
¦r

an agreement with Bangalore Water upply and ewerage Board for supply of treated water
from their sewage treatment plant also, with an average supply of 1 million litres per day,
thereby ensuring the use of potable water only for potable purposes and non-potable water for
other purposes.

The Company's persevering efforts to reduce the energy consumption brought down the
consumption of electrical energy from 48 million units in 1988-89 to 34 million units in
2004-05 even though production has increased several times.
