Categories of highly polluting industries and Environmental Standards
Factsheet
These are 17 categories of highly polluting industries. They are Aluminium Smelters, Chlor –Alkali Plants, Cement Plants, Copper Smelters, Distilliery Indusstry, Dyes & Dye- Intermediate Industry, Iron & Steel Plants, Tanneries, Pesticide (basic) Manufacturing , Petro- Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals ( basic) Plants, Pulp & Paper Industry, Petroleum Oil Refinery, Thermal Power Plant and Zinc Smelters.
Environment Standards for 101 category of industries and Diesel Generator (DG) sets have been notified. It includes large scale 17 category of highly polluting industry namely, Distillery, Sugar, Thermal Power Plant, oil Refinery, etc. and Small scale industry like brick kilns, foundry, etc. Emission Standards for DG sets have been notified and being implementation at manufacturing stage.
The process of reducing ash content in Coal Washaries to required level in Coal for better efficiency is called ‘Beneficiation of coal’.
Notifications on Beneficiated Coal were issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in asking thermal power plant to use beneficiated/ blended coal having ash content not more than 34% on annual average basis with effect from June 2001, under following circumstances:
1. Power plants located beyond 1000 km from pit head of coal mine;
2. Power plant located in critically polluted area, urban areas and in ecological sensitive area;
3. Power plant should not be using fluidised bed combustion (FBC) or integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology.
