Our Commitment
We remain firmly dedicated to mitigating the negative
environmental effects of our activities and operations
throughout.
Our Initiatives
- We implement strong management procedures to
ensure rigorous compliance with relevant environmental
regulations
- We adhere to all EHS regulations mandated by Indian
environmental laws
Process Efficiency
AIA Engineering acknowledges that operational efficiency
is crucial for sustainability efforts within our Company. By
implementing cutting-edge heat treatment processes, we
optimise the durability and performance of our engineering
solutions
Our Initiatives
Heat Treatment
All our foundry units, utilises direct energy for the heat
treatment process, opting for Piped Natural Gas over
other fossil fuels to reduce Scope 1 emissions. Flue gas
recuperators have been installed on all gas-fired heat
treatment furnaces, enhancing furnace efficiency and
recovering heat from flue gases. This recovered waste heat
is then utilised to pre-heat the combustion air supply to the
burners
Melting Techniques
Our company employs induction furnaces for melting
operations requiring electricity. Our closed-loop process
minimises energy and heat loss, thereby aiding in the
reduction of GHG emissions.
Energy Reduction
Our Company is aware of the pivotal role of energy reduction
in fostering sustainable practices.
Our Initiatives
- Use of medium frequency Induction furnace for all our
melting operations and closed-loop process ensures
minimum loss of energy
Renewable Energy
We have formulated a comprehensive long-term strategy
to mitigate emissions. As a part of this strategy, we are
progressively increasing the proportion of renewable energy
in our overall energy consumption
Our Initiatives
- The Company has installed 11 Wind Energy Turbines
at the Kutch and Jamjodhpur sites and 3 sets of
Hybrid (Wind+Solar) at Amreli, Gujarat which have total
installed capacity of 37.38 MW of renewable energy.
Emissions
Our Company implements all essential
measures to monitor and prevent pollution
resulting from our operations.
Our Initiatives
- All our stacks meet height requirements,
while critical stacks are connected
to an online monitoring system. Our
Company engages third-party agencies
and experts to ensure compliance with
air-quality standards set by the State
Pollution Control Board.
- Our internal procedure is in place to
guarantee emission-free production.
The Dust Extraction (DE) or Fume
Extraction (FE) system is integrated
with the production equipment, and
any malfunction will activate an alarm,
automatically halting production.
Water Management
At AIA, water serves many of our industrial purposes, such
as cooling furnace coils, facilitating the moulding process,
and operating cooling towers. Additionally, we utilise
water in canteens for drinking, sanitation, and gardening
purposes. Our Company maintains a robust water
management system to ensure efficient water usage across
all these activities.
Our Initiatives
- We periodically conduct training sessions on water
conservation and management for all our employees. An
annual water audit is carried out at all plant locations.
Observations and recommendations from the audit are
implemented impartially on a priority basis.
- We have implemented a rainwater harvesting system
to replenish groundwater. Rainwater from rooftops and
runoff is directed to recharge wells, supported by a prefiltration system
- We uphold a policy of Complete Zero Liquid Discharge
(ZLD). Dry-type cooling towers have been installed,
which have minimised blow-down significantly.
The discharged water is recycled within the plant.
Additionally, grey water and sewage undergo treatment
in STP plant, equipped with a three-tier system and an
ultra-filtration water purification unit. The treated water
is then reused within the plant.
Waste And Circular Economy
To adopt a sustainable approach to waste management,
our Company is shifting from a traditional ‘linear business
model’ to an innovative ‘circular business model.’ Through
this approach, we are ensuring efficient utilisation of
resources throughout their lifecycle
Our Initiatives
- We have implemented a waste hierarchy approach,
prioritising waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and
recovery over disposal, aligning with circular economy
principles. Whenever feasible, our Company seeks
opportunities to incorporate recycled materials and
repurpose waste generated by operations.
- We strictly adhere to regulations concerning
hazardous waste management, batteries, and e-waste
management. All waste generated undergoes either
remelting in the furnace or recycling through authorised
recyclers and vendors. This waste disposal framework
ensures compliance and responsible waste disposal
practices.
