Waste Management Practices

1. Waste Management

2. Introduction
• Waste (hazardous and non-hazardous) presents a serous risk to the
ecosystem and human health if not properly managed and/or treated
safely.
• Sustainable Waste Management is required from a legislative directive and
moral responsibility.
• Sound waste management is part of the overall GOGCL’s philosophy for
managing HSE issues of the Greenville’s LNG Plant.

3. Waste Management Strategy
• Reduce amount of waste generated.
• Develop Integrated Waste Management System to handle the
inevitable waste produced
- Reuse
- Recycle
• Finally, “Responsible Disposal”

4. Benefits of Proper Waste
Management
• Keeps the environment clean and fresh
• Saves the Earth and conserves energy
• Reduces environmental pollution
• Creates employment and opportunity earning income
• Meet regulatory requirement

5. GV Waste Management Plan
• Implement preventative measures aiming at the reducing waste generated;
• Locate waste collection bins in clear view and as close as possible to the users;
• Remove waste from the temporary collection bins to permanent disposal or treatment
offsite to avoid that they forming dump;
• Train staff and contractors on the need for source segregation;
• Engage a waste treatment company that is duly accredited and authorised;
• Issue a delivery note to allow for traceability;
• Be issued a certificate of destruction.

6. Waste Classification
Non-Hazardous Waste
• Rubbish/Garbage
• Food Waste
• Scrap Metal
• Wood waste
• Scrap metal
• Grubbing & Clearing Waste
• Storm Water
• Cellulose
• Miscellaneous Discharges
Hazardous Waste
• Electrical and Electronic Waste
• Medical waste
• Waste oil
• Sewage waste
• Battery waste
• Activated Carbon
• Molecular sieves
• Spent solvent
• Inorganic Sludge

7. Current Situation with Hazardous
Waste
•Poor data on the volumes of hazardous waste
generated on site
•No hazardous waste collector engaged
•No facility for treatment of hazardous waste on site
•Hazardous waste are probably mixed with other non-
hazardous waste or sip into the ground

8. Required Actions
• Establishing of cost-effective and environmentally sound
solutions for each waste stream (pesticides, waste oil, end-
of-life vehicle, fluorescent tubes, batteries and
accumulators, chemicals etc.)
• Purchase hazardous products from supplier that can take
back spent product – ERP
• Engage a hazardous waste collector
• Keep record of all hazardous waste
• Track waste to final point of destruction and disposal

9. Situation with Non-Hazardous Waste
•Daily evacuation by HSE support Staff
•Mixed (co-mingled) collection of waste
•Temporary dump site outside the site
• Waste is evacuated from the TDS weekly
•Record of weight of waste is kept in the HSE Dept.

10. Location for Non-Hazardous Waste
Bins
•Life Camp
• Admin area
• Clinic – medical waste
bin
• Train 1, 2, and 3 areas
•Power Plant area
•Tank area
• Workshop area
• Loading bay area
•Main Gate area
• LNG station

11. Conclusions
• Sustainable Waste Management is not an option. It is both
a regulatory requirement and a Greenville philosophy;
• It will require a buy-in by all concerned – staff and
contractors;
• A clean and waste free environment is the responsibility of
all;
• Contractors keep record of hazardous waste generated and
information made available to the HSE department.
