ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTING ::

AEE has achieved competence in consulting by building intellectual and infrastructural expertise over the decade. Our unique comprehension of the Environmental Scenario in India and capability therein facilitate pragmatic and effective management systems for the industry. Diverse expertise in environmental engineering and sciences with years of domain knowledge help in deadline services and implementation systems to the exact requirements of the clients within realistic time scale and cost points.

Detailed Engineering ~>

AEE is capable of conceptual design as well as detailed engineering of industrial effluent treatment plants (ETPs)/CETPs, and sewage treatment plants (STPs) based on aerobic/anaerobic treatment schemes. AEEPL also takes up detailed design of incinerators-gas/liquid/solid, scrubbers etc., for various types of gaseous pollutants.

Environment Impact Assessment ~>

Our mainstay in consulting, EIA best showcases our total expertise as it converges several other services we provide to the industry as stand-alone. We have extensive experience in assessing the environmental and risk impacts of large, technically complex projects located in sensitive environments for a diverse spectrum of industrial clients and successfully presenting the assessments to the Ministry of Environment and Forests, NGOs and public hearings.

With more than 35 EIAs to our credit on most of the technically complicated sectors such as caustic chlorine, thermal power, petrochemicals, bulk drugs, basic organic chemicals, ports and harbors, cement, metallurgy, etc. Acclaimed for our contributions in EIA policy in India, AEE was one of the qualified teams for Environmental Management Capacity Building, a World Bank project for the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt. of India.

Cleaner Production ~>

Cleaner Production or Waste Minimization Assessment has the potential of becoming a panacea for the pollution intensive Indian industry as its focus is on prevention or loss of revenue in waste, a concept instantly acceptable to the Indian business scenario. We are a trained team specializing in WM/CP interventions in pollution intensive chemical industries. Trained experts help the industry generate profit from waste by looking at their production process from the perspective of waste reduction and quantifying in savings in monitory terms.

AEE has demonstrated capability to several-folds reduce pollution loads on the end-of-pipeline treatment utilities in Food Processing and Pesticide and Bulk Drug sectors.

Some of the projects demonstrating capability in consulting are as listed:

Central Pollution Control Board

Determination of Optimum Water Consumption Limit for Bulk Drug Manufacturing Industry.

Location: All India Industry Assessment for Standard Laying
Year of assessment: 2002
Sector: Bulk Drugs and Pharmaceutical

The study is aimed at determination of water consumption in the Indian Bulk Drug Industry for prescribing consumption limits under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Cess Act, 1977, for granting rebate to the industries promised in the Act. The study is based on a three level survey and interviews, with industry visits to more than 35 industries. Concepts of Cleaner Production will be used to arrive at the optimum level of water consumption after ascertaining the actual and theoretical water consumption in unit process and utilities.

United Phosphorus Ltd.

Comprehensive Environment Impact Assessment

Location: Ankleshwar, Gujarat
Year of assessment: 1994
Sector: Agrochemicals

The much-praised assignment was carried out amongst the first EIA after the EIA notification made in the same year. Addressing impact of an industry in an industrial estate, the EIA then used GIS, a concept much ahead of its time in 1994.

UNITED STATES TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT AGENCY

Feasibility study for the GIDC, AMC wastewater recycling project

Location: Ankleshwar, Ahmedabad.
Year of assessment: 2002

This project deals with the feasibility studies for recycling of treated wastewater from the common effluent treatment plants(CETPs) from the industrial estates of Ankleshwar, Panoli and Jhagadia. AEE would be involved in some of the components of the is project-analysis,EIA detailed design etc. The project duration is about 9 months. There is second component of USTDA project namely, treated sewage wastewater recycling for AMC STPs at Ahmedabad.

National Thermal Power Corporation Ltd.

Environment Audit

Location: Jhanor-Gandhar, Gujarat
Year of assessment: 1999
Sector: Gas based Combined Cycle Power Plant

The year round assignment apart from the audit compulsions was a informal training to the NTPC Environmental Management Division in statutory compliance and design of monitoring network and infrastructure.

Morepen Laboratories Ltd.

Rapid Environment Impact Assessment

Location: Baddi, Himachal Pradesh
Year of assessment: 2002
Sector: Bulk Drugs and Pharmaceutical formulation.

The project poses unique impact identification and quantification as the product combination keeps on changing. Also challenging from the air pollution monitoring and point source pollutant dispersal modeling due to inversions and undulating terrain.
