Environment Management Centre

In 1976, Nuchem established the Environment Management Centre (EMC) as a business Division of the Company. The task enfolds:

* To provide environmental services, basically the analytical and treatment solutions to the environmental problems faced by industrial enterprises, government bodies and other technical agencies

* To take up environment management projects: water treatment, waste water management, recycling of sanitary, urban and industrial waste and building capacity for effective water management and service delivery

* To conduct applied and application research for process upgradation, product improvement, innovating new techniques and products for Nuchem Ltd. and other sponsors

These three tasks have been converted into separately dentifiable performing units which are called:

EMC Services
EMC Projects
R&D Centre

Each unit has its independent Chief and professionals specialized and experienced in both technical & business personnel.

The EMC is recognized as a 'Scientific and Industrial Research Organization-SIRO' by DSIR, Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. Being a part of Nuchem Ltd. the EMC is a ISO 9001-2000 Certified unit. It is also an 'Approved' Test House for certification by:

* Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOEF), Government of India (For EIA studies and other related work)

* Haryana State Pollution Control Board
* U.P.State Pollution Control Board.

EMC services

This wing is dedicated to provide analytical and treatment solutions to the environmental problems faced by industrial enterprises, government bodies and other technical agencies. It enrolls in the study, examination, investigation, dissection, scrutinisation and evaluation of every aspect of the project undertaken. Through its technical expertize, innovation and professional integrity, EMC is an undisputed leader as a Test House in North India.

The core services provided by EMC Services are:

EMC Projects

EMC projects organization is the contracting and project management arm of Nuchem in the areas of desalination, water treatment, recycling of urban and industrial wastes, waste water management, etc. The projects contracted are designed, engineered, supplied, installed and commissioned, thus a turn-key job. The projects done in the water management field involves:

* To purify water for applications as varied as drinking water for homes, villages, residential complexes, institutions, industries, cooling towers, furnaces and packaged bottled water and
* To recover pure water from raw sewage for industrial applications.

EMC projects organization comprises a dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced scientists, engineers, project managers, cost engineers and constructors. A band of super-specialists are on the panel of consultants and available as required.

Nuchem Group has successfully designed, engineered, manufactured, erected and commissioned more than 600 Reverse Osmosis based Water Treatment Plants with installed plant capacity of over 50 million litres of water per day all over the country. One of the largest sewage reclamation plants of 14.4 MLD, using the reverse osmosis process, in Asia was commissioned by us in 1993. The plant has become an international benchmark for design of such plants and is one of the most successful installations in the world in terms of reverse osmosis technology. This was followed by the successful installation of a sea water reverse osmosis plant in Gujarat in 1994.

Riding on the success of these installations another large sewage reclamation plant starting from raw sewage and treatment through reverse osmosis was commissioned by us for GMR Vasavi Power Corporation Pvt. Ltd, Chennai in 1998. The plant processes 7.2 MLD of sewage per day. A unique feature of the plant is that it is located in a highly populated area but there is virtually no foul odor from the plant as is normally expected from sewage treatment plants. Nuchem Group has been successfully operating and maintaining this plant for the client since its commissioning till date.

Nuchem Group has now gained recognition as a world class supplier of technology for recycling of all types of effluents. While an effluent recycling plant of capacity 4600 m3/day has been set up in 2005 for Birla Copper, Dahej, Gujarat, we have also been awarded contracts for setting up three Effluent Recycling Plants from textile effluent in the Tirupur belt. Each plant is designed to process 4.5 MLD of raw effluent. The plants are designed to use a combination of ultra filtration and reverse osmosis technologies to produce pure water which will be recycled back to the industry.

R & D Centre

It is axiomatic for an enterprise like Nuchem to develop a strong technological base to lead in a competitive economy. The establishment of the R&D centre in 1973 was a conscious decision to invest to become self-sufficient in appropriate technology. Located in a fully equipped premises in the company's Faridabad Complex, it has laboratories, workshops, library, I.T. unit and state-of-the-art infrastructure to conduct operations.

Powered by a team of highly qualified scientists and engineers, the R&D centre initiates a process in the laboratory, tests it at the pilot plant stage and then promotes its commercialization. At this point, the project is implemented in-house or technical know-how is transferred to other entrepreneurs. It also supports process up-gradation, product development, quality assurance and plant safety.

R&D centre also conducts sponsored as well as application esearch which are:

* Thermoset Resins
* Drugs and Fine Chemicals
* Electrodialysis for removal of BOD, Color and Metals from waste water
* Fibreboards, WPPD pulp and agro waste

The R&D centre is recognized as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization - SIRO , by DSIR, Ministry of Science and Technology. It is also an ISO 9001:2000 certified unit. It has over 17 patents granted to it based on original research.
