The centralized power generation facility is capable of producing the required electricity for all business units of the Station. The facility currently produces power using both natural gas and diesel fuel. All generators are synchronized to enable matching of power output to actual consumption, thus saving costly fuel expenditure. Keeping provisions to further capacity enhancement, this captive power house is well positioned to meet the future energy demand of the Station. A team of qualified professionals are currently exploring the options of utilizing solar power and co-generation techniques as part of our Green cost saving objectives.

Our centralized water collection and distribution is designed to optimize the water consumption for different type of uses. A water purification unit makes use of both ground water as well as harvested rain water and supplies it for general washing and human use. It also takes the ETP treated water and channels them for use in toilet flushing, landscape watering and in the constructed wetlands. The integrity of this entire process is ensured by a team of dedicated professionals through continuous monitoring and regular testing measures.

The entire chemical and water waste generated at the Station is channeled through the ETP before releasing them to the environment. The treatment is done through a process called bacterial respiration, which conforms to the local environmental regulatory requirements. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our operations. Thus, an initiative has been made to further improve the existing ETP into a zero-release facility. This will take the installation above and beyond the minimum regulatory requirements and will set a new standard in the effluent treatment process.
