Initially, MFL had been
awarded ISO 9002 Certification for the Quality Management System in the year
1995 and this Certification is renewed five times between 1998 and 2010. The
latest QMS Certificate (ISO 9001:2008) is valid upto December 2013. MFL
has upgraded the latest 2008 version in the year 2010.
MFL has always been
environmentally pro-active to make cleaner, greener and safe environment with
its motto of achieving better & still better productivity by energy savings
and sustainable growth.
Since inception MFL has
invested
`73.5 crores for the installation of pollution prevention and
abatement facilities during earlier operations, modernization and during
capacity upgradation activities.
Significant among them is
the installation of Tertiary Sewage Treatment and Reverse Osmosis System to
treat and desalinate the city sewage for reuse in plant which has resulted in
reducing the sewage flow into sea and releasing 8% of fresh water by Chennai
Metropoliten Water Supply and Sewerage Board for city use. In addition, during 1999 additional
treatment systems have been installed at a cost of around
`60 lacs. By
these activities 40% of effluents generated are being treated and recycled,
thus making the production facilities of Ammonia, Urea and NPK units a total
Zero discharge plant.
Further, a sum of
`.6.7 Crores had been invested to achieve a much cleaner environment. In this
connection, a treatment and recovery system is installed for cooling water
blow down which contributed recovering a further 40% of the effluents
generated. A 10% quantity of effluents generated is supplied to a neighboring
industry for their process use. These activities have achieved a recovery and
reuse of 80% of effluents and supply of 10% of effluent thus making the unit
to march towards "a near zero effluent discharge" status. The other schemes
include continuous online stack monitoring system for Urea & NPK Plant's
stacks and upgradation of effluent handling systems. These are in line with
MFL's philosophy of achieving zero discharge of effluents generated.
Keeping all the above in
mind and to provide a frame work and recognition for the efforts put in this
direction, MFL volunteered for ISO 14001 Certification. Accordingly, we have
demonstrated commitment towards Pollution Prevention, Environmental Protection
and compliance per legal requirements. In this connection, MFL initiated
proactive steps from September 2000 onwards for obtaining initial ISO 14001
Certification. At present, M/s Indian Register Quality Systems (IRQS) has
been MFL’s Certifying body for QMS and EMS.
MFL has always been
committed to continual improvement on Quality Management System and
Environmental Management System resulting in Productivity conforming to energy
savings and achieving cleaner, greener & safe environment by keeping in view
of Corporate Social Responsibility. Further, with cooperation, involvement,
trust and understanding of all MFLers including Contract Workmen, the targets,
objectives and consequent profit maximization are achieved which contributes
to the national economy, productivity and prosperity. |
