Cleaner Production in a Czech Chemical Company - Bochemie

Bochemie Bohumín Ltd. is the parent company of the Bochemie Group. Since it was founded, it has worked to meet health, safety and environmental requirements: for example by adhering to the chemical industry's Responsible Care programme. One of the most important steps it has taken so far to improve its environmental performance has been to introduce Cleaner Production (CP) in its chloramine production plant.

Support from CP experts was available to the company through a European Union PHARE project. Company representatives participated in training at a new Cleaner Production Training Centre. Organisational and technical measures were identified with a focus on eliminating pollution of waste-water. The measure implemented so far have reduced waste-water volume by 3900 m3 per year and the level of inorganic salts (chlorides and sulphates) by 122 tonnes per year. Energy consumption has also decreased by 900 GJ per year. Total cost savings of US$ 45,000 have been realised. Other measures are under way and further savings of US$ 145,000 have been estimated. As a result of the surprisingly high cost savings, the company has decided to apply CP to other areas of its business.
