15. CASE STUDY
Environmental Audit of Sugar Factory:
A Case Study of Kumbhi Kasari Sugar Factory, Kolhapur
Rao T. B., Chonde S. G., Bhosale P. R., Jadhav A. S. and
Raut P. D. Department of Environmental Science, Shivaji
University, Kolhapur
The sugar industry plays a very important role in India’s
national economy. As all stages of sugar production are
water intensive and discharging wastewater containing
high level of oil, suspended solids, organic matter and
chemicals and therefore the sugar industry is one of the
most water polluting industries. Therefore conducting
‘Environmental Audit’ in a sugar factory is no longer an
option but a sound precaution and a proactive measure in
today’s heavily regulated environment.

16. The environmental audit conducted at Kumbhi-Kasari
Sugar Factory will be effective to reduce energy
consumption to reduce the consumption of the water and
use bagasse as fuel. It saves the power and improved
environmental protection for sustainable industrial
operations.
Thus, Environmental Audit plays an important role to
have check on pollution control.
Further studies on Environmental Audit with reference
To various types of the industries are needed in order to
study various process, activities and their positive or
negative impact on the environment.

17. CONCLUSION
Environmental audit is carried out to provide an indication
to company management about how the environmental
Organization system and equipment’s are performing.
As a result the best practicable means can be applied to
preserve air, water, soil, plant and animal life from the
adverse effect.
