On June 20, the Acting Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Tambov Region paid a working visit to the Pigment enterprise. The meeting participants were given a tour of the company's industrial site and were shown such infrastructure facilities as workshops 6, 19, 31, as well as the analytical laboratory of workshop 13 and the Power Unit.
The tour began with workshop 6 (monomethylaniline production). The guests were introduced to a new technological line with a capacity of 25 thousand tons/year, which was officially presented in November 2024. The workshop uses closed water supply circuits, which has a positive effect on the environment. This technology is virtually waste-free. Tambov Pigment has been one of the key domestic manufacturers of fuel additives for over 20 years. The company manufactures products under the ADA trademark.
The next object to visit was the Power Unit, where the participants of the working meeting were introduced to the enterprise's own energy complex. In workshop No. 31, a new production of redispersible polymer powders (RPP) for dry construction mixtures was presented. It should be noted that from the point of view of production, this is a very narrow direction. Only three companies are engaged in the production of RPP in Russia, including Pigment.
Workshop No. 13 featured a modern analytical laboratory that collects atmospheric air samples, water samples, and soil samples using modern technologies. It should be noted that certified measurement methods are used to ensure the reliability of the results of industrial analytical control. Industrial analytical control is carried out according to approved schedules, which are compiled separately for each type of controlled environment: industrial emissions, wastewater, natural water, and soil.
The final objects for visiting the production site were the 19th workshop for the production of acrylic dispersions and the jubilee park, as one of the elements of environmental culture. Acquaintance with the Pigment enterprise continued in the Information and Exhibition Center.
Director of Production of JSC Pigment Roman Pavlinov:
– The main slogan of Pigment is to manufacture products in compliance with environmental requirements. We carefully and responsibly carry out production environmental control, pay great attention to waste recycling and disposal issues and, of course, modernize production lines, which helps to obtain innovative products that are safe for humans. Over the past 2-3 years, we have reduced the level of impact by tens of times in several areas.
Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Tambov Region Dmitry Somov:
- Today we got acquainted with the production and laboratory, where new modern technologies are presented. All production cycles in all workshops are equipped with emergency discharge systems. I did not see any complaints even from the average person. We believe that such an approach to safety, environmental control, soil and water analysis ensures the environmental friendliness of the production, which is located in our Tambov region.
