 Present Scenario
• Environmental parameters are measured at Chemistry
departments in Power stations
• Various reports are prepared by the Station EMG using
locally developed S/W packages
• Each station sends prior month environmental monitoring
information reports to RHQ and CC for the use of
Corporate EMG.
• Reports from all sites are consolidated at Corporate EMG
by re-entering the data.
• Further reports are generated for necessary action

3
 The Aim
• To achieve continual improvement in NTPC’s
environmental performance through
– improved monitoring
– improved reporting
– trend analysis
– better data management techniques
• To make the information available “Anytime, Anywhere”
in the user friendly GUI/ Web based formats through
implementation of PMS.

4
 The Application
PMS will provide for the effective management of
environment around NTPC’s existing plants by:
 Streamlined, effective and efficient information flow
 Data is captured only once at its source (No redundant data
entry)
 Systematic storage of data in database for easy, flexible
retrieval of data
 Standardization of formats and uniform implementation of
application
 User friendly reporting /query facility in GUI formats
 Computerized information flow (no manual dependence)
 Proper maintenance of historical data for trend analysis
