Cleaner Production Implementation in Stone Crushers in Gujarat (Phase II)
 


Based on the success in the phase I studies we have decided to promote this activity on a wider scale to cover the SCU’s from all parts of the State.

Brief Objectives of the Study:

  1. Selection of SCU's from various clusters including units from water Scarce Areas
  2. Prepare CP Scheme Designs and layout etc, including dry dust collection/suppression system
  3. Provide Technical Assistance to SCU entrepreneurs during implementation of CP Schemes
  4. Post implementation field studies and final setting of water sprays to achieve desired results
  5. Reviewing current emission standards and recommending appropriate standards based on study findings.
  6. Assisting GPCB in strengthening existing monitoring program for SCU's

II: In depth field studies for improving Productivity and reducing dust generation at source by adopting feasible CP best practices

It is proposed to take up in depth field studies covering following aspects in 3 selected representative stone crusher units:

  1. Selection of most representative SCUs (3 Nos.) covering various types of technologies, layouts etc.

  2. Detailed study of existing plant and machinery, layout and operating practices, sieve analysis studies

  3. Identification of problems/lacunae in the existing equipments/operating practices leading to lower productivity

  4. Identifying Cleaner Production practices suitable for adoption in the SCU's for improving productivity, discussion with Indian Manufacturers for assessing feasibility of incorporation.

  5. Trial implementation of level I CP measures/designs in at least one SCU (the level I CP measures are classified as those measures/changes involving lesser investment and easier to incorporate. Level II would involve major changes in the existing equipment's and layouts, which would be dealt later only after success of level I measures).

  6. Estimation of benefits & Cost effectiveness after implementation of CP techniques/Measures

  7. To prepare simple engineering guidelines, with appropriate technical design details on standard CP techniques suitable for different sizes along with O&M Procedures

  8. Dissemination Workshop involving stone crusher units and manufacturers for general acceptance of improved level I CP measures and awareness creation.

Preparation of Audio Visual Material for Mass Awareness and Dissemination of Information

For the purpose of creating mass awareness and for publicity of Cleaner Production achievements and benefits in stone crushers, it is proposed to shoot a video film of about 20 minutes duration showing various aspects of the project and highlighting CP success stories and achievements. The cassettes along with success stories in the form of booklets in bilingual form would be distributed in various clusters to achieve generate multiplier effect at rapid pace.
