In an initiative of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the East Coast Railway (ECoR) will establish a poly crack plant here.ECoR General Manager Vidya Bhushan laid the foundation-stone of the proposed plant at the Carriage Repair Workshop, Mancheswar here.
Lots of non-ferrous scrap is being generated in the Carriage Repair Workshop at Mancheswar, which has no efficient method of disposal.
As a result, they find their way to landfills, which is environmentally hazardous. Carriage Repair Workshop, Mancheswar has found a way for tackling this problem in a patented technology called Polycrack.
It is world’s first patented heterogenous catalytic process which converts multiple feed stocks into hydrocarbon liquid fuels, gas, carbon and water. This is the first-of-its-kind in Indian Railways and third in India.
