Environmental Protection

Bestway Cement Limited utilizes every step to conserve environment and to up lift the socio–economic conditions of local inhabitants.

Zero Effluent

Bestway Cement Limited has a closed-circuit cooling system and water treatment plant and re-uses the treated water. There is no waste water from the process which is disposed outside the premises.

Green Energy

Bestway Cement Limited has installed WHRPP producing green energy on Plants and has following advantages.

Helping the national grid to fight the power shortage in the country.

• CO2 Emission Reduction
• No Air Polluting Gases (NOx, SOx)
• Global Warming Effect Reduction
• Thermal Pollution Reduction

Water Conservation

Water is used in a limited quantity in our plant because cement is produced by dry process. In the production process, water is used for cooling purpose (Cooling of Bearings, compressor jackets, Conditioning Tower, Mills etc.). We have a closed circuit cooling water system. Water is recycled by passing through a cooling tower so that it is used again and again. There is no waste water from the process which could be disposed outside the factory.

Sewerage Treatment Plant

For the sewerage generated in the plant, we have installed a sewerage treatment plant. The treated water is stored in specially constructed concrete tanks inside the factory area. This water is used for irrigation of green lawns, orchids, vegetables and other plantations within the factory area, not only for self-consumption of fruits and vegetables but also to create an aesthetically laid out landscape and environment.

We have also built a fresh water (Potable water) source by installation of a tube well for locals of our neighboring Tatral village. Previously, they were dependent on only one water reservoir “Kerala Walee Bun” for themselves and their animals. The water reservoir facilitates cattle and wild life while the tube well installed at the reservoir by Bestway is used by the locals for general purposes.

Dust Collection System

Bestway Cement Limited plants are equipped with State of the art dust collection system having combination of Bag Filters and Electrostatic Precipitators. The dust emission remains much below the International Standard of 50 mg/NM3.

EPA teams have been visiting our Plant sites on regular basis to monitor the environmental protection measures and to collect samples. Subsequent test reports revealed the fact that we are operating far below the NEQS.

Self-Assessment Audits

Bestway Cement Limited is regularly conducting self-assessments of the environmental conditions in plants. In addition that environmental monitoring is carried out regularly by an independent consultant.

Control of Noise Pollution

Almost all the equipment contributing to high noise level are confined in concrete structures and individual machines are equipped with Silencers in order to remain within the NEQS. The ground vibration on account of drilling and blasting remains at our Raw Material Quarries are well within the prescribed Limits.
