M/s. Coastal Waste Management Project (CWMP), Pharmacity, Parawada, Visakhapatnam
In order to ensure scientific disposal of Hazardous Wastes in the State, one Treatment, Storage and Disposal Facility (TSDF) has
been established in the name of M/s. Coastal Waste Management Project with incinerator and land fill at J.N. Pharmacity,
Parawada, Visakhapatnam.
Co-processing of Hazardous Waste
Earlier, organic residues generated from Bulk Drugs & Pharmaceuticals units were incinerated in the captive / common
incinerators whereby wasting the heat value of the Hazardous waste. The energy potential of the hazardous waste is just lost. By
opting Cleaner Production technologies the high calorific value of Hazardous waste generated from Bulk Drugs &
Pharmaceuticals industries are effectively disposed off through cement kiln being operated at 1400 degree centigrade where by
using lot of heat energy resulting in saving of fossil fuels being burnt in the kilns.
APPCB is encouraging co- processing of certain categories of Hazardous Waste in cement plants.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) is issuing permissions for Co-processing of Hazardous Waste in cement kilns.
APPCB inline with the guidelines of CPCB on co-processing, is encouraging cement plants with rotary kilns to establish
facilities for co-processing of hazardous wastes.
APPCB is putting the responsibility of transportation of the Hazardous wastes either with generators of the hazardous wastes or
with the cement plants to avoid transportation problems. The authorised cement plants have been directed to obtain regular
permission from CPCB for co-processing as and when required.
Procedure for cement plants to obtain regular permission for co-processing of Hazardous Waste:
The prescribed in application under rule 11 of HW Rules, 2008 with supporting information is to be submitted at RO concerned.
After inspection, the report will be forwarded to HO for placing before CFO committee. After grant of trial run permission, the
