SIL’s paper manufacturing unit at Ahmedgarh has an annual installed capacity of 33,000 Metric Tonnes of paper per annum. Paper
manufacturing, being a water intensive process,  produces large quantity of waste water with high percentage of chemical oxygen demand.

Project’s Contribution to Sustainable Development: 
● The project construction and commissioning of a UASB digester and associated units gave employment opportunities during construction in vicinity of plant.
● The existing open lagoon emanates large quantity of methane into the atmosphere which is a potent GHG. Introduction of UASB digester in project activity captures methane, thereby mitigating emissions of GHG.
● The stench which emanates from open lagoon due to anaerobic decomposition of carbonaceous material got reduced after UASB digesters were commissioned.
