As per record maintained by the industry the O/B of the effluent in tank was 3.90 KL as on 27.04.2024. It has consumed 8.36 KL fresh water in its process area and 4.7 KL effluent has been lifted by the CETP/ re-processor for the period 27.04.2024 to 20.05.2024 and about 7.1 KL was lying stored in storage tank, which is in synchronized with water consumption 3.
