SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

* SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

The company operates pursuant to regulations approved under the environmental laws. As early as at the SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" construction stage, account was taken of the fact that there already was a sufficient number of large production facilities in Voskresensk. Therefore, the SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" manufacturing complex was constructed outside the town: it is located at the distance of 12 km from the nearest residential areas. In designing its location, the wind pattern was also taken into consideration. Owing to that, the plant operations do not produce a negative impact on the atmosphere in Voskresensk.

 

 

* The system-based work of reducing environmental impacts for SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" is carried out in two directions:

* Development and implementation of cutting-edge technologies that are compliant with the most recent environmental standards.

Upgrade of the existing manufacturing equipment at the operating production sites.

Compliance with environmental standards is monitored by the industrial laboratory and the laboratory of the biological treatment facilities. A advanced mobile environmental laboratory system was acquired to monitor the quality of air in the buffer zone and at the industrial site.

The basis of the measuring system is a high-sensitivity computer-managed infrared interferometer spectrometer MV-100 produced by BOMEM and capable of automatically analyzing the air composition by 20 ingredients every 2-4 minutes, which is 100-500 times faster than conventional methods of air quality monitoring. As requested
by the environmental service of the Mayor’s Office, the SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" laboratory is frequently involved in taking measurements in various districts of the town.

The enterprise has its own biological treatment facilities (BTF) that perform the clean-up of wastewater not only of the enterprise but also of Komsomoksly District and Povolzhsky Settlement. Before entering BTF, the enterprise’s wastewater undergoes preliminary clean-up at 9 local units available in all the key workshops of the enterprise and mixing at the unit of wastewater control and treatment. After biological treatment at SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" treatment facilities, the wastewater is qualified as treated to standard quality”. Moscow Oblast has only two biological treatment facilities that ensure such a level of wastewater treatment.

Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant but participates in creating the greenhouse effect. SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" uses this ammonia production waste to synthesize urea and to produce liquid and solid carbon acid. Thanks to reusing carbon dioxide in production, it is not emitted to the atmosphere.

To improve the system of purifying the treated wastewater, a modern ultraviolet purification station was commissioned, which allowed eliminating chlorine dosing for the wastewater disinfection. SV "Voskresenskiy Mineral Fertilizers" is currently implementing a project of upgrading the treatment facilities in order to recycle up to a third of the wastewater, thereby reducing the consumption of river water.
