An ancillary plant has been installed adjacent to our Dariba Smelting Complex to recycle wastes generated from our smelting process like zinc process residue, lead residue, etc. With this initiative we have been able to improve recovery of Zinc, Lead and Silver from wastes, minimise import of copper sulphate and reduce emission and risk involved in the transportation of these wastes to other states. Setting up of this ancillary plant is a win-win situation for both HZL and the supplier - providing ground support to set up local production for bringing supply chain efficiencies. HZL has benefitted with recycling the process residue and getting value added products which is consumed in-house either at the smelter or mines.
Ancillary unit supplier also gets exposure to better process, system oriented approach & enhancement of capability for residue recycling.
