Green Manufacturing
LANXESS has a state-of-the-art production facility at Jhagadia in Gujarat, which manufactures rubber chemicals, ion exchange resins, material protection products, rhein chemie and high performance materials. The Jhagadia rubber chemicals factory caters to the rapidly growing Indian tire market.
The Jhagadia LANXESS plant boasts of state-of-the-art green technology. For example, wastewater is thoroughly pre-cleaned before being released into the large treatment plant at the Jhagadia Chemical Park, in which the LANXESS site is located. The pre-cleaning process takes place in a separate, ultra-modern LANXESS treatment plant and ensures that all used water is already near drinking water quality when it leaves the company premises. It is treated again at the chemical park’s own treatment plant.
In addition, Jhagadia also hosts LANXESS’s factory for the production of ion exchange resins. To support it, LANXESS has built its own small and highly efficient power plant on site. The power plant runs on eco-friendly natural gas and is being built as a cogeneration plant that will supply both steam and electricity.
