AFFLUENCE

The information required under Section 134 (3) (m) of the Companies Act, 2013 read with Rule 8(3) of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 with respect to these matters is given below: a) Conservation of Energy The steps taken or impact on conservation of energy: o Increase in dependency on renewable source of energy (Wind and Solar energy) ? Anthem has increased the dependency on renewable energy by utilizing wind energy and solar energy as well, through third-party and were able to achieve the dependency on renewable energy for 93% (Wind + Solar energy) vis-à-vis previous financial year of 75% (Wind + Solar energy). ? This has resulted in significant reduction in the greenhouse gas emission ? The wind and solar energy procurement is through a group captive power purchase arrangement o Air Emission Reduction Initiatives ? Use of HEPA filters to control indoor air quality in powder handling areas ? Efficient gas scrubbing systems ? Use of vent condensers ? Cold Traps introduced at the vent of the vacuum pumps o Reduction in Green House Gas Emissions ? Due to usage of renewable energy / use of cleaner fuel there has been reduction in CO2 emissions o Effluent Treatment Initiatives ? Anthem has taken trials in the volute filter (dewatering system for sludge management system) in order to narrow down the right type of polyelectrolyte for sludge conditioning. Based on trials, anionic poly B-39 (higher molecular weight) has been procured and implemented. ? Chemical dosing for the low TDS has been rationalised as follows ? Lime concentration reduced from 700 ppm to 500 ppm ? PAC concentration reduced from 300 ppm (5% solution) to 100 ppm (10% solution) ? Polyelectrolyte reduced from 5 ppm to 2.5 ppm o Other Initiatives ? Biogas generated from ETP anaerobic process and biological process is used as fuel in the boiler ? Steam produced from the boiler is utilized for operation of Stripper and Sludge drier. ? About 30,240 m3 of biogas has been fed to boiler to produce steam from August 2022 onwards ? Sprinkler and hydrant system has been installed in Unit-1 & Unit-II ? Part Load Efficiency (IPLV) for Chillers was achieved. ? Description: To achieve better performance, the cooling tower inlet temperature to the chiller was reduced. The performance improved from 0.7 kW/TR to 0.6 kW/TR ? Improvement in COP (Coefficient of Performance) was observed by installing Centrifugal Chillers in place of screw chillers ? Centrifugal Chiller and brine chiller with Variable Frequency Drive(VFD) were installed which improved the total energy consumption ? Boiler with economizer were installed for FO(Furnace Oil) and PNG (Piped Natural Gas) ? 1100 kW Heat pump was installed in place of Plate Heat Exchanger(PHE) for AHU Heating Coil ? Motor rating of IE3 which are of premium efficiency have been installed. This has led to 1% to 2% Improvement in Efficiency ? Energy efficient pumps for better pump efficiency have been installed ? Graphite condensers have been replaced with Haste alloy condensers for better heat transfer rate

Technology absorption: The Company continues to adopt and use the latest technologies to improve the productivity and quality of its services and products.
