Saykha Industrial Association.
Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), established in 1962 by Government of Gujarat, as the nodal agency to oversee industrial development in the state by setting up industrial estates and promoting industrial growth. GIDC has established total 202 estates till date.
Additionally, to address specific needs, GIDC also develops special infrastructure like water augmentation and distribution infrastructure, culverts, over bridges, training centres, warehouses, etc. GIDC also upgrades existing infrastructure facilities in the established industrial estates periodically. Through the proposed project GIDC intends to upgrade necessary infrastructural facilities in Saykha Industrial Area which includes a Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) for different industrial waste/effluent.
PCPIR Stands for Petroleum, Chemicals & Petro Chemical Investment Region,
GPCPSIR Stands for Gujarat Petroleum, Chemical & Petro Chemical Special Investment Region.
Gujarat PCPIR1 (GPCPSIR) is a specially delineated Investment Region planned for establishment of domestic and export led production facilities for Petroleum, Chemicals And Petrochemicals.
The PCPIR is located in South Gujarat and has Gulf of Khambhat to its West, Narmada river & Aliyabet island in the South, villages of Vagra and Bharuch in the East and Bharuch-Dahej railway line in the North.
The project envisages a “Common Effluent Treatment Plant at Saykha, Bharuch”
The Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) is conceptualised to service the pollutants emitted by the Small Scale Industry (SSI) clusters.
It is envisaged that the large scale industries will have captive effluent treatment plants for treating the effluent generated and convey their treated effluent in the designated pumping station from where GIDC will pump effluent safely into the deep sea as per the marine standards.
It is desired that each industrial unit shall create and operate an individual wastewater treatment plant. However, the quantum of pollutants emitted by SSI clusters may be more than an equivalent large scale industry, since the specific rate of generation of pollutants is generally higher because of the in-efficient production technologies adopted by SSIs.
A collective treatment (centralized facility) is considered as a viable treatment solution to overcome the constraints associated with effluent treatment in small to medium enterprises.
For small and medium scale industries as well, In order to minimize environmental pollution, clean production technologies and formation of waste minimization circles are being encouraged.
However SSI and MSI unit also has several operational constraints like lack of space and technical manpower. A common facility will provide these industries with the opportunity to manage their expenditure and efficiency.
GIDC has planned a 60 MLD Common Effluent Treatment Plant at Saykha Industrial Estate to facilitate such smaller and medium scale industries.
