Bhubaneswar, Mar 21  Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP) has been conferred with the prestigious Platinum award in Global Environment Award 2024 at the Global Clean Energy Summit 2024.
RSP GM (Environment Engineering) V V R Murty and GM (Business Excellence) Anubinda Mohanty, received the award on behalf of the plant at a function held at New Delhi on March 20 last.
RSP participated in the competition for the first time and won the Platinum award, the highest award as a recognition of RSP’s excelling endeavour in Environment Management in every aspect.
RSP has been adopting state-of-the-art environment-friendly steel-making technologies, progressively, since its inception.
The comprehensive Air Pollution Control measures implemented by RSP include the installation of Multi-Cyclones, Wet Scrubbers, Bag Houses, Electrostatic Precipitators, and Dry Fog Dust Suppression Systems.
The plant maintains sophisticated systems for monitoring and controlling emissions, such as Online Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Systems and Online Continuous Stack Emission Monitoring Systems.
The dedicated Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) are strategically placed throughout the units, ensuring the recycling of treated water back into the production process.
RSP also adheres to stringent monitoring and control standards through Online Effluent Quality Monitoring Systems (EQMS), with all online monitoring systems seamlessly integrated with the servers of both the State Pollution Control Board and the Central Pollution Control Board.
The plant is actively pursuing an ambitious Zero Liquid Discharge project and implementing the waste gas recovery systems.
On the solid waste management front, RSP has embraced the Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Recover principle with a primary focus on reducing basic raw material consumption at its source.
This strategic approach not only minimizes resource usage but also safeguards the environment from the harmful impacts associated with waste dumping.
In a bid to enhance green cover, RSP has undertaken extensive afforestation efforts and planted about 52 lakh trees, and developed 40 picturesque gardens and parks within both the steel plant premises and the steel township.
