TECHNOLOGY & GREEN INITIATIVES

 

GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT - POWERING A GREENER WORLD

 

In line with powering a greener world, MPL initiated tree plantation to develop a green belt in and around its premises. This improves the aesthetic of the surrounding area and has following benefits-

 

  • Green belt acts as a medium of phytoremediation of pollutants and improves the aesthetic of the surrounding area.
  • Improves air quality.
  • Increases both habitat and biodiversity.
  • Soil protection, erosion control and works as wind breaks.

UTILISATION OF WASTE GRASS FOR FUGITIVE DUST CONTROL IN ASH POND

 

Utilisation of waste has always been a prime focus area to minimize environmental liability. Cutting of naturally grown tiger grass as a housekeeping measure and disposing those dry grasses by burning through control fire is a routine activity. We have developed an innovative idea of laying the cut tiger grass over the top surface of ash in ash pond as a mat upto a width of approx 15 mtr from the inner bund of ash pond.

 

This stops the ash particles to get air borne from that covered part. This initiative has covered an area of approx 15000 sq meter.

 

Benefits:

  • Reduces the emission of CO2 which releases during fire.
  • Reduces water consumption required for dust suppression.
  • Reduces energy consumption required during dust suppression by mobile tankers/sprinklers.
  • Helps in improving ambient air quality.

RECYCLE AND REUSE - THE GREEN MANTRA

 

Recycling and reusing the waste water instead of using fresh water for mitigating coal dust in surrounding area of coal yard, Maithon CHP team has managed to save upto 240 kl of fresh water. This fresh water saved can be used for human consumption and other better purposes.
