( Sustainability measures being implemented Wind Power At Fourrts, wind power is utilised for plant operation. Fourrts has entered into strategic equity participation with an organisation engaged in the generation of power using wind mills. This organisation is also exploring the possibility of generating power using solar energy. And soon Fourrts will be using power generated from replenishable energy sources only. Apart from cost advantage of about 25 per cent, we derive the satisfaction of participating in the national interest of conserving energy.
THE MAIN FOCUS
WE CONTINUALLY IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES FOR ADOPTING A LESS CARBON INTENSIVE PATH
Scrubber The flying dust generated from the process are captured into scrubber which ensures the dust generated is completely sent to ETP by water spray technique which is inbuilt with machines.

The machines installed at Fourrts are state-of-the-art and environment friendly. The processing machines have silencers and acoustic insulation in-built.
Stack monitoring Flue gases from the boiler and generator are periodically monitored to prevent air pollution.
ETP and STP Fourrts has set up state-of-the-art Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to treat the waste generated in the formulation process. It is a zero discharge effluent treatment plant. The Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) treated water is utilised for gardening purpose. The ETP treated water is utilised for cooling tower and boiler and RO reject water is sent for mechanical evaporation and salt is collected in the solar panel.
reduce power consumption.
system is that energy source is renewable and using natural refrigerant namely water, which does not harm the atmosphere like TFC or substitutes. In this system, the usage of convention power consumption is reduced substantially by ` 5.5 per TR (Ton of refrig-
eration). The bleed air from AHUs is filtered through 0.3µ HEPA filters to protect the environment. We use LED/CFL light fittings for reduce power consumption. All machineries and utility motors are running with Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to
Three major benefits of sustainability strategy ◗ Power saving ◗ Prevention of land pollution ◗ Prevention of air pollution u.sharma@expressindia.com
Strategically planned rain water harvesting to increase ground water table level In Fourrts, sub-surface water recovery is done by laying natural water conserving system beneath the building foundation in order to avoid seepage of water inside the building during rainy season. The sub-surface water generated through this system is collected in sumps and utilised for cooling purpose. In strategic location, rain water harvesting is done to increase the ground water table.
Conservation of energy For all heat requirements, Fourrts has set up boiler using non-fossil fuels like agro wastes instead petroleum products like furnace oil which is highly polluting. The use of boiler for heat requirements saves cost and reduces dependency on conventional power from electricity board. By installing indigenously designed bio-reactor the steam-fuel ratio is improved and the soot discharge into atmosphere is minimal.

Air Handling Units (AHUs) In Fourrts, AHUs function in a very environment-friendly manner by using replenishable energy for cooling. Fourrts has set up heating and cooling system for its HVAC by adopting vapour absorption system. The advantage of this
