Bangalore, August 14, 2018: Navratna Defence PSU Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) has signed a Technical Collaboration Agreement (TCA) with CSIR-NAL for the design and engineering, production and commercialisation of Electronic Target System (ETS), a modern training aid meant for enhancing marksmanship of Defence and Paramilitary forces during live firing exercises on the field.

The agreement, which heralds a new beginning in the ties between BEL and CSIR labs for developing products targeting niche market segments, was signed by Mrs Anandi Ramalingam, Director (Marketing), BEL, and Mr Jitendra J Jhadav, Director (CSIR-NAL), in the presence of Mr Gowtama M V, Chairman & Managing Director, BEL, and other senior officers of BEL and CSIR-NAL, at BEL-Corporate Office in Bengaluru on August 14, 2018.

Designed by CSIR-NAL, ETS is a technically superior and cost-effective solution for Police, Paramilitary and Defence personnel looking at acquiring sharp shooting skills in small fire arms as well as honing their proficiency in tactical field firing. With this technology, BEL is targeting a market of about 1500 lanes.

Presently, after firing a shot, a shooter is unable to instantly gauge if he has hit or missed the target and by what margin and needs to move near the target to examine the results. ETS helps in instantly providing the hit location through a display, positioned beside him.

CSIR-NAL has developed two technologies for Electronic Target System — Detection and Hit Visualisation using Acoustic N-wave Identification (DHVANI) and Acoustic Based Hit Identification and Analysis System (ABHIAS) — using which the shooter can instantly see, after each shot, the result on an electronic display placed nearby. This enables the shooter to constantly self-monitor his progress and take remedial steps to improve his accuracy.

As part of this, a 16 MW (AC) Power Plant, developed in around 80 acres of land, has been set up at an approximate cost of Rs.105 Cr for the annual captive consumption of HVF & Engine Factory (EFA), Avadi, around 25 km from Chennai, Tamil Nadu. The plant will inject power at 110 kV to TANTRANSCO’s 110 kV Sub-Station located around 2.5 km away and is expected to result in annual savings of Rs. 45.41 million for both, HVF and EFA.

This project undertaken by BEL is generating employment for professional, skilled and unskilled labour. In addition, various kinds of maintenance work will also generate employment opportunities for the local population on a regular basis.

The solar power plant will lead to reduction of SO2, NO2 and particulate matter (pm) emissions resulting in improvement in air quality and human health. The Carbon Dioxide avoided due to this Solar Power Plant would be around 26,384 tons/annum.

BEL to set up Rs. 13.5-crore sewage treatment plant to restore Doddabommasandra Lake

Navratna Defence PSU Bharat Electronics Ltd (BEL) is setting up a 10 MLD (million litres per day) Sewage Treatment Plant to rejuvenate the Doddabommasandra Lake at a cost of Rs. 13.5 crores. BEL has taken up this initiative — a first-of-its-kind — as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility activities, in collaboration with the Karnataka Lake Conservation and Development Authority (KLCDA), BBMP and the Revenue Department.

The foundation stone for the installing and commissioning of the proposed Sewage Treatment Plant was laid today (Saturday, February 17, 2018) by the Chief Guest Mr. D V Sadananda Gowda, Hon’ble Union Minister for Statistics and Programme Implementation, Government of India. Mr. Krishna Byre Gowda, Hon'ble Minister for Agriculture, Government of Karnataka, presided over the function. Mr Sampath Raj R, Hon’ble Mayor, BBMP, Mr Gowtama M V, CMD, BEL, and Mr Nataraj Krishnappa, Director (Other Units), & Chairman, CSR Apex Committee, BEL, were also present.

The Doddabommasandra Lake contributes to recharge of ground water in the Doddabommasandra watershed region. The lake covers an area of 50.31 hectares (124.35 acres). The Doddabommasandra watershed region replenishes the ground water table of Vidyaranyapura, Govindayyanapalya, Doddabommasandra and Thindlu areas.

Rainfall is the only source of water for this lake, which is presently running dry. Even the water collected during the monsoons is lost due to percolation and evaporation. The lake is fast being depleted of its biodiversity and socio-ecological balance.

BEL proposes to replenish the lake with waste water treated at the proposed plant and create a large water body, rich in biodiversity.

The Sewage Treatment Plant will be designed on the latest ‘Sequential Batch Reactor Technology’ (SBR). This is an advanced version of the well-established ‘Activated Sludge Process’ of the Central Public Health and Environment Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO).

The sewage is fed into the SBR Units for biological treatment involving organic matter degradation, nitrification, de-nitrification and phosphorous removal. The oxygen required for the process is supplied through ‘Fine Bubble Diffused Aeration System’ with auto control of oxygen levels in the basin. The complete operation, including filling of sewage, aeration, sludge recirculation and decanting will be SCADA/PLC-controlled.

The treated water, after meeting Pollution Control Board norms, will pass through the wetland comprising aquatic plants before flowing into the lake.

BEL will construct the sewage treatment plant in the next 18 months and will maintain it for a period of 20 years.

Benefits to stake holders

The benefits of such a plant include recharging of ground water, reduction of sewage load on the BWSSB treatment plant, improved ground water table in areas in and around the lake which is home to a population of about 3 lakhs, prevention of pollution due to untreated sewage, favourable conditions for the growth of fauna and flora, improved micro climatic conditions leading to a balanced ecological system, new recreational opportunities for fishing, bird watching and educational visits.
