PREAMBLE
Environmental auditing, now renamed as Environmental Statement, is a tool comprising a
systematic, documented, periodic and objective evaluation of how well a unit is performing in order
to achieve the objective of the waste prevention and reduction, assessing compliance with regulatory
requirements and placing environmental information in public.
The preparation and submission of environmental audit report was mandatory under the
Environment (Protection) Rules, 1986 (second amendment) since March 1992. The industrial units
requiring consent under section 25 of the Water Act were required to submit environmental audit
report for the financial year to the Board on or before the 30th of September every year beginning
from the year 1993.
Environmental Audit is a technique being introduced for integrating the interest of the industry and
the environment so that these could be mutually supportive. This technique is basically a part of
industry’s internal procedures in meeting their responsibilities towards better environment. A
notification under The Environmental (Protection) Rules, 1996 has been issued on April 22, 1993,
requiring industries to submit an environmental statement for the financial year ending on March 31
in Form V to the concerned State Pollution Control Boards on or before September 30 every year
beginning 1993 (Annexure I). The Department of Company Affairs also agreed to include this
requirement as a part of the Director’s Annual Report. The submission on an environmental
statement is applicable to the following.
1. Those who require consent under the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
2. Those who require consent under the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, and
3. Those who require authorization under Hazardous wastes (Management & Handling) Rules,
1989.
Benefits of Environmental Audit Environmental auditing have far reaching benefits to the industry,
to the society and the nation at large. It
i) Determines how well the process systems and pollution control systems are performing, and
identifies the operations of poor performance
ii) Identifies potential cost savings which can be accrued through reduction in raw material
consumption by way of waste minimisation, and adoption of recycle/recovery/reduction in
pollution load
iii) Increases awareness of environmental requirements, policies and responsibilities
iv) Helps in understanding the technical capabilities and attitude of the environmental
organisation in a Company
v) Provides up-to-date environmental database for use in plant modification, emergencies etc.
vi) Unravels surprises and hidden liabilities due to which regulatory risk and exposure to
litigation can be reduced
vii) Ensures independent verification, identifies matters needing attention, and provides timely
warning to management on potential future problems and helps to safeguard environment,
and assists in complying with local, regional and national laws and regulations, with the
Company's policy and with the environmental standards.
i) To determine the mass balance of various materials used and the performance of various
process equipment so as to identify usage of materials in excess than required, to review the
conversion efficiencies of process equipment and accordingly fix up norms for
equipment/performance and minimisation of the wastes.
ii) (a) To identify the areas of water usage and wastewater generation and determine the
characteristics of wastewater; (b) to determine the emissions, their sources, quantities and
characteristics; and (c) to determine the solid wastes and hazardous wastes generated, their
sources, quantities and characteristics.
iii) To identify the possibilities of waste minimisation, and recovery and recycling of wastes
iv) To determine the performance of the existing waste treatment/control systems so as to
modify or install additional or alternative control equipment accordingly
v) To determine the impact on the surrounding environment (groundwater, stream, residential
area, agricultural area, sensitive zone, etc.) due to the disposal of wastewater, emissions and
solid wastes from the industry and accordingly identify suitable preventive measures. If
necessary
vi) To verify compliance with the standards and conditions prescribed by the regulatory bodies
under the Water Act, the Air Act and the Environmental Protection) Act; and
vii) To check the effectiveness of (a) organisational set-up of the industry for decision-making
and environmental management with special reference to their 'technical' view point,
'attitudinal' view point and training, and (b) environmental policy of the Company
viii) Environmental audit helps in assessing the use of raw materials (whether in excess or not)
and various methods to be adopted to recover the same . it also helps in periodical
assessment of the treatment schemes adopted for abatement of various pollutants generated
like wastewater, air and solid waste etc. and to modify the same to achieve better working
efficiency.
ix) Environmental auditing has far reaching benefits to the industry. to the society and the nation
at large. it helps in determining the working efficiencies of process and pollution control
systems. It helps in determining the working effaces of the process and pollution control
systems .it also aids in identifying the cost saving techniques that can be adopted and it
provides an up to date environmental data for use in emergencies. It helps in understanding
the technical capabilities and attitude of an organisation towards pollution control and
increases the awareness of environmental requirements. It ensures independent verification,
identifiesmatters needing urgent attention, provides warnings on potential futures problems
and thus reduces exposure to litigation. It mainly helps in safeguarding the environment and
assists in complying with regulatory norms of local, regional and national laws.
Environmental audit thus in pollution control and in improving production, safety, health ,and
conservation of natural resources.

B. Manufacturing Process:
B. Manufacturing Process:
Sodium is charged into a MS reactor and the temperature is maintained to 300 C to 350C then
Ammonia gas is passed into the reactor and when the reaction is completed, the mass is
unloaded in to a ball mill and powdered. The powder is packing in polythene bags either 5kgs as
per the requirement of the customers and kept in MS drums. The excess ammonia and hydrogen
are flares in atmosphere.
Piperazine is reacted with diethyl sulfate and sodium hydroxide flakes in presence of toluene
solvent in reactor at a temperature of 80oC for 13 Hours duration. After mono alkylation’s of
piperazine, the reacted material is sent for layer separation by gravity. The aqueous layer
saturated with sodium sulphate is separated here. This sodium sulphate is recovered as by
product and sold to customers. The mass is then transferred to vacuum filter in which toluene is
separated and recycled back to reactor. The organic layer is sent to distillation column where
benzene is separated at low boiling point of 80oC for 4 hours duration by circulating steam .
Further the remaining liquid is fractionally distilled at 150oC by circulating furnace oil to
maintain that temperature for 4 hours time to get the final pure product N-ethyl piperazine in
liquid form.

PROCESS:
Sodium or potassium is added in to excess tertiary butonal in a rotary drier cum reactor. Excess
butonal is used to ensure the complete reaction of the corresponding metals.
Then the excess butonal is recovered by thermic fluid heating through a condenser and used again in
the next batches. A small quantity of hydrogen (1 to 1.5 Kgs. Per batch) is let out through a liquid
paraffin trap.
