The effluent of this industry & sister concern unit M/s A.P. Organics Pvt. Ltd. is treated in the ETP and STP. The trade effluent after oil and grease trap was sent through pipeline in the ETP installed in the sister concern unit. After treatment, the treated trade effluent is being reused in cooling tower section and boiler feed water by the industry.
