AKI GREEN INITIATIVE
Segregation and treatment of sectional waste streams
The following streams are segregated and treated separately:
1. High TDS water – Soak liquor
2. Chrome liquor
3. All other combined effluent
4. Segregation of sammying liquor to CRU
A view of segregation method adopted for collecting different sectional waste streams-
Chilled Hides Processing
- For every tonne of raw hides, this method saves salt discharge of minimum of 3000 kg into environment.
- TDS reduction by 50% in overall effluent
Unloading chilled hides from refrigerated container
A view of segregation method adopted for collecting different sectional waste streams-
Water saver for fleshing machines
- Consists of the solenoid valve, relay, limit switch, butterfly valves
- Machine idle time: 40%
- Savings in water: 40%, 2 KL/tonne of raw material

Water Measurement
- Electromagnetic flow meters with batching control for measuring flow of water automatically
- Soaking and liming are in drums to reduce water consumption
- Reduction of water by 20%

Artificial recharge through pond adoption
- AKI India commits to give back the water to the nature more than the its consumption
