"URALCHEM attaches great
importance to the preservation of the environment and pursues a
deliberate and transparent environmental policy in the regions where
it operates. One of the most important results of our work has been
the fact that in 2012 all our enterprises have kept well within the
limits for permissible concentrations of pollutants set by the
government regulators." commented by Dmitry
Konyaev, CEO of URALCHEM.
Moscow,
Russia (April 24, 2013) -- In 2012, the URALCHEM
group increased funding for environmental programs
to 465.6 million roubles. This represents an increase of more than
28% compared with 2011. Successful projects included new modern
processing facilities and treatment systems, industrial waste
recycling and reclamation of previously polluted sites.
The
Azot branch of URALCHEM in Berezniki in 2012 implemented an
environmental programme costing a total of more than 44 million
roubles. During the year, factory emissions were reduced by 3%,
concentration of monoethanolamine pollutants in waste water was
reduced by 37% and suspended substances pollutants by 11%, oxides of
nitrogen emissions were reduced by 10% and carbon monoxide emissions
decreased by 9%.
MFP
Kirovo-Chepetsk Chemical Works in Kirovo-Chepetsk in 2012 spent 259
million roubles on environmental measures. During the year, emissions
decreased to 52.5% of the limits set by the regulators, compared with
57.8% in 2011. New technical equipment was commissioned and gas
cleaning systems were modernized. One of the highlights was the
completion of work to eliminate the liquid phase at the 6th section
of the chalk tailings storage facility. This work is part of a large,
multi-year reclamation project being carried out on the facility.
Minudobrenia
in Perm in 2012 spent more than 70 million roubles on environmental
activities. Because of the specific type of production at the
facility, 90% of costs are related to the improvement of water
management through technology improvement projects. These projects
reduce water consumption by eliminating leaks in water supply and
sewage networks. This is particularly important in light of the fact
that the enterprise does not discharge waste water to the surface
waters.
URALCHEM's
enterprise in Voskresensk in 2012 spent 92 million roubles on
environmental projects. Among the main activities were the
modernization of equipment and the improvement of technological
processes in the major manufacturing plants, as well as in the shops
for the neutralization and treatment of industrial waste water.
