Pune, August 27, 2017: Endress+Hauser; a leading Swiss based Process automation company has successfully installed its innovative EQMS at MIDC Ranjangaon’s CETP. With this installation, E&M Division of MIDC Pune have pioneered in the domain of environmental technologies with this application of EQMS system at government facilitated CETP of Sub-division MIDC Ranjangaon.
Real time monitoring of these treatment systems helps in ensuring regulatory compliance and reduces the risk of effluents discharge. This EQMS based process automation has provided the MIDC executives a novel opportunity to observe the remote plants in real time and to guide the sub-divisional offices to efficiently execute their duties real time monitoring alerts the engineers if concentrations of effluents cross-regulatory levels. Online monitoring leads to cost savings by increasing the efficiency of the treatment process. The data captured from the instruments is collected at Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), New Delhi, Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB), Sion and MIDC office at Pune. The necessity of capturing this data helps the Government to regulate the quality of the water which is defined based on parameters like Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Chlorine, PH and flow.
Water is essential to all forms of life on our planet, despite its importance, water is the most poorly managed resource in the world. Contamination of ground and surface water can happen from several sources. In urban areas, the careless disposal of industrial effluents and other wastes leads to poor quality of water. The CPCB directed MPCB to regulate various industry facilitators like Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) for treating and monitoring industrial effluents in a web based transparent manner.
The treated water from November 2016 till date is 70 MLD Litre Cubes which is used for irrigation by the farmers in the vicinity.
Kailash Desai, Sr. VP, Endress+Hauser said, “with the help of EQMS system MIDC Pune has provided a transparent way to monitor and supervise the execution of CPCB an MPCB regulations in real time with remote accessibility. We can proudly conclude that our process automation have given paradigm shift in betterment of control and efficiency at all fronts.”
Dilip Singh Chauhan, the executive engineer at MIDC Ranjangaon said, “it was easy to install the EQMS and it has an extremely quick response time.The fact that by sitting at one place our engineer’s can monitor the different levels of toxicity in water that has been already treated surely saves a lot of time and efforts. Till date we haven’t faced any issues with the system as it has been working well as per the standards”.
