26) As India's leading oil & gas corporate, IndianOil remains steadfast in its commitment to
excellence in Safety, Health and Environmental (S,H&E) performance.
27) Use of water and quality of effluent discharged are carefully monitored. Our refineries
are equipped with a network of underground sewers for segregated collection of various
wastewater streams, which are subjected to precise treatment in well-designed effluent
treatment (ETP) facilities involving physical, chemical and biological processes.
28) Utmost attention is given to control / reduce emissions in our refineries. Major sources of
air emissions are flue gases from boilers and heaters, FCC regenerators and Sulphur
Recovery Units. Hydrocarbon leaks and evaporation during storage, handling and
transportation of petroleum products and crude oil are sources of fugitive emissions.
IndianOil has adopted the following measures to control emissions & effectively disperse
pollution from flue gases.
29) For careful monitoring of emissions, continuous online analyzers have been installed in
all the refinery stacks. On-line connectivity is also being provided to Central and State
Pollution Control Boards.
30) Prevent, Reduce, Reuse and Recover are the fundamental principles that govern all our
activities, more so in case of solid waste management. Oily / chemical / biological sludge
generated from storage tanks during refinery turnarounds or from the basins & storage
tanks of our effluent treatment facilities are mechanically handled. Melting pits with
skimming pumps, sophisticated hydrocyclones, centrifuges etc. are employed for de-
oiling the sludge.
31) Accidental oil spills, whether on land or water (including both sea and fresh water) have
the potential to cause serious problems for coastal and marine wildlife, especially corals,
fishes, birds, mammals and reptiles.

and to develop quality control methods for it. Several batches of bio-diesel have been
produced using karanjia, rice bran, sunflower, palm and jatropha oils.
55) The technology for production of bio-diesel was transferred to IKF Technologies,
Kolkata, the second party to opt for this technology.
56) After commissioning India's first experimental Hydrogen-CNG dispensing station in
October 2005, it signed MoUs with international agencies like KOGAS, Korea, and New
