US India pollution control equipment opportunitiesprivg
India is one of the largest and one of the fastest growing producers of greenhouse gases. It is estimated that 30-40 percent of India’s industrial units produce sizeable quantities of pollutants. India’s pollution control equipment industry is growing at 10-12 % annually, driven by government initiatives and a proactive judiciary. Local production is mainly into standard, low-tech equipment. 40% of market demand is met by imports. Germany, UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, Netherlands, and Italy are among the major suppliers. The United States is the market leader for imports, having over 30% of market share.
The document discusses the value of reducing scrap in production processes. The author was assigned a project to reduce scrap at Andersen Windows. They discovered that over $25,000 worth of material was being discarded as scrap in just four months from one production line. By implementing a system to reuse leftover material pieces, they were able to cut scrap costs nearly in half. The main lesson is that easy solutions may exist to significantly reduce scrap and save both money and resources, if production processes are reexamined with an eye toward scrap reduction.
The System of Rice Intensification (SRI) is an alternative rice cultivation method that can improve yields and reduce water usage compared to conventional methods. Field trials in multiple countries found average SRI yields were 2-3 times higher than conventional methods. SRI changes management practices like transplanting young seedlings and reducing plant density to promote deeper, more extensive root growth and increase beneficial soil microbes. This allows plants to make more efficient use of available nutrients and water. SRI represents a new paradigm that relies more on biological processes in soil and plants than external chemical inputs like fertilizers.
