2. The Chelyabinsk Electrode Plant

The Chelyabinsk Electrode Plant
produces parts for metallurgy, but it
generates a lot of waste. The main
debris is graphite dust, broken
electrodes and used chemicals.
Graphite waste is not very dangerous,
and some of it is reused.
Graphite waste is not very dangerous,
and some of it is reused. But acids
and resins are harmful substances
that need to be disposed of in a
special way.

Dirty sludge from air purification accumulates in special storages. The plant is
required to report to the state on the amount of waste. Some of the garbage is
sent for recycling, and some is buried in landfills. The plant pollutes the air with
graphite dust, which can settle on the soil.

To reduce the damage, the company installs
new filters and tries to reuse the waste. But
the problem with garbage has not been
completely solved. The plant must constantly
improve its technology. The authorities ensure
that the company complies with
environmental regulations.

Considerable attention is paid to issues of increasing the environmental safety of
the enterprise. Regular inspections of the condition of the treatment facilities and
filtering units are carried out. It is also important to note that the plant's
management actively cooperates with scientific institutions of the region,
introducing modern processing methods.
