Environmental Systems &
Performances
The facility is equipped with wastewater treatment and exhaust
systems that ensure compliance to environmental, health and
safety regulations at the workplace. We ensure compliance with
stringent international and local environmental protection
regulations on industrial effluents and air emissions through:
|
|
Wastewater
treatment systems to treat segregated waste streams
from manufacturing and support systems.
|
|
|
Volatile
Organic Compound (VOC) abatement systems.
|
|
|
High
efficiency scrubber systems to remove acid and caustic
chemical vapors.
|
In addition, scheduled (toxic) wastes are managed to comply
with stringent regulatory requirements.
Wastewater
Treatment
As per international standards,
Silterra analyzes and monitors the quality of waste water
throughout the year. All waste water analytical results
consistently adhere to the waste water standard of the
Environmental Quality (Sewage & Industrial Effluents)
Regulations 1979 in Malaysia.

Waste
Minimization
We systematically identify ways to reduce or eliminate waste
primarily through source reduction and recycle, reclaim and
reuse. Activities include:
|
|
Minimizing
use of hazardous manufacturing chemicals through
operational improvements and process changes.
|
|
|
Diverting
materials from local landfills through recycling. The
recycling program is wide and includes paper,
newspapers, magazines, cardboards, packing material
and metal parts.
|
|
|
Striving
for a paperless environment through widespread use of
electronic documentation and presentation, thereby
reducing paper memos, reports, transparencies and
other documents.
|
Energy-Efficiency
We achieve energy efficiency through
|
|
Using
energy-efficient lighting with electronic ballast.
|
|
|
Control
of motors using Variable Frequency Drive.
|
|
|
High
efficiency chillers using non-CFC Refrigerants with
load demand control of the compressors.
|
|
|
Soft
starters resulting in reduced starting currents.
|
|
|
Equipment
which are PLC-regulated per demand.
|
Water Conservation
We achieve water conservation through
|
|
Reduction
of production tool usage.
|
|
|
Optimize
frequency of rinsing and cleaning for process.
|
|
|
Extend
MMF and ACF service throughput.
|
|
|
Reclamation
of water from production for use in other subsidiary
systems.
|
|
|
Reusing
reject water from water treatment system.
