Air Quality

Austin Powder demonstrates a strong commitment to improving air quality and reducing the emission of air pollutants, as part of its goal to preserve the health and well-being of the communities in which it operates.

Reducing Air Pollutants

In pursuit of the Austin Powder objective, measures have been implemented to prevent and reduce emissions that may significantly impact the environment. These measures are categorized based on the emissions they mitigate.

  • To reduce NOx emissions, biofilters at the gas outlets of the ammonia plants have been installed, along with maintenance systems on the generators to regulate fuel injection pumps and injector calibrations. Low NOx burner units have been installed in primary reformers, and a NOx gas scrubber (gas absorber) has been added to nitric acid production.
  • Reducing atmospheric particulate emissions involves installing two air purifiers at the ammonium nitrate production plant.
  • A maintenance system has also been established on the generators to regulate fuel injection pumps and injector calibrations, controlling CO and NOx emissions.

Noise Pollution

The quantity of product quality control blasting tests has been reduced to mitigate noise pollution affecting the surrounding communities of Austin Powder facilities. The improvement in these areas is based on Austin Powder’s standard criteria, considering that subsequent actions derived from these issues are subject to the environmental regulations of each operating area and the specific needs of each reporting unit, giving them a specific and independent nature.

Success Stories

Waste Minimization Project

Red Diamond has developed a new waste reduction project, which, despite being in its early stages, aims to treat explosive-contaminated waste and decompose certain types of explosive waste.

Hazardous Waste Reduction Plan

Additionally, USN recycles and reuses some of its resources and products and has its own hazardous waste reduction plan.
