CLASSIFICATION.

 GENERALLY, BROWNFIELD SITES EXIST IN A CITY'S OR TOWN'S

INDUSTRIAL SECTION, ON LOCATIONS WITH
ABANDONED FACTORIES OR COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, OR
OTHER PREVIOUSLY POLLUTING OPERATIONS.
SMALL BROWN FIELDS ALSO MAY BE FOUND IN MANY OLDER
RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS. FOR EXAMPLE, MANY DRY
CLEANING ESTABLISHMENTS OR GAS STATIONS PRODUCED
HIGH LEVELS OF SUBSURFACE CONTAMINANTS DURING PRIOR
OPERATIONS, AND THE LAND THEY OCCUPY MIGHT SIT IDLE FOR
DECADES AS A BROWNFIELD.
TYPICAL CONTAMINANTS FOUND ON CONTAMINATED
BROWNFIELD LAND
INCLUDE HYDROCARBON SPILLAGES, SOLVENTS, PESTICIDES,
HEAVY METALS SUCH AS LEAD (E.G., PAINTS), TRIBUTYLTINS,
AND ASBESTOS.

Case study:

jeedimetla industrial development area(IDA)

JEEDIMETLAIS A SUBURB OFHYDERABAD, INDIA,

LOCATED NORTH WEST OF THE CITY
THE DOWNTOWN FEATURES A NUMBER OF
SMALL AND LARGE INDUSTRIAL UNITS INCLUDING
SOME OF THE INDIA CARD-CARRYING ONES. THE
INDUSTRIAL AREA IS DIVIDED INTO SMALL
LOCALITIES FEATURING DIFFERENT
MANUFACTURING BLOCKS. HMT COLONY IS ONE
GOOD EXAMPLE THAT ILLUSTRATES THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PLACE. IMPORTANT
INDUSTRIES LOCATED IN THE REGION ARE THOSE
OF MACHINE TOOLS,PHARMACEUTICALS,
ELECTRICS,TEXTILESANDCHEMICALS.
IT SERVES AS THE MOST INDUSTRIALIZED AREAS
IN HYDERABAD.[1]BUT AS THE HYDERABAD CITY
GREW WITH GREATER HYDERABAD, THERE ARE
MANY OTHER PLACES WHICH HAVE DENSE
INDUSTRIES BEYOND JEEDIMETLA.

JEEDIMETLA IS OF THE LARGEST

INDUSTRIAL AREA WITH OVER
8000 INDUSTRIES .

AS THE CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL

FORMING THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE
INDUSTRIES ,THERE IS ALWAYS A RISK OF
A FIRE OUTBURST OR ANY CHEMICAL
LEAK.
THE AIR POLLUTION IN THIS AREA IS
ENORMOUS , WHICH INCLUDE
AUTOMOBILE EFFLUENTS AS WELL AS
THE CHEMICAL RELEASES FROM THE
INDUSTRIES DIRECTLY INTO THE AIR.
THE WATER USED IN THE INDUSTRIES
AREA ALSO CONTAMINATED ,WHICH
NEED TO BE TREATED BEFORE
DISCHARGING INTO ANY SOURCE.
AS A RESPONSE TO THIS A TREATMENT
PLANT HAS BEEN SET UP TO SUPERVISE
AND TO MONITOR THE DAY TO DAY
ACTIVITIES.

THE BUSINESS MODEL OF JEEDIMETLA EFFLUENT TREATMENT LIMITED

IS PREVENTION OF POLLUTION BY TREATING INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS
TO ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE NORMS AS A SOCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY WHILE MEETING THE EXPENDITURE FROM THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF MEMBER INDUSTRIES WHO ARE ALSO THE
STAKE-HOLDERS IN THE COMPANY. JETL IS COMMITTED TO
CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF TREATED
EFFLUENTS THROUGH FOCUSSED APPROACH TO MEET
ENVIRONMENTAL STANDARDS. ADDITION OF THERMAL
SEPARATION SYSTEM - MULTIPLE EFFECT EVAPORATOR AND
SPRAY DRYING IS A STEP IN THIS DIRECTION.
INDIA'S FIRST COMBINED WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT [CWWTP]
AT JEDEMETLA INDUSTRIAL AREA HAS CHANGED THE INDUSTRIAL
SCENE FOR CHEMICAL AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LOCATED
AT HYDERABAD. THE AIM OF THE PROJECT IS TO PREVENT AND
CONTROL WATER POLLUTION. INDUSTRIAL UNITS ARE FIRST
ENCOURAGED TO TREAT THE EFFLUENTS AT SOURCE BEFORE THEY
ARE LET OUT INTO THE TREATMENT PLANT. WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE
DONE OUR BIT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION. WE SHALL BE
HAPPY TO ASSIST YOU WITH OUR
EXPERIENCE IN:
PREVENTING WATER POLLUTION
CONTROLLING WATER POLLUTION
PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT
INITIATING CO-OPERATIVE ACTION FOR POLLUTION CONTROL
PROMOTING PRODUCTIVITY & PROSPERITY WITHOUT
