Introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility for Used Oil!

The Government of India has been proactive in ensuring the safe handling, storage, utilization, disposal, and management of hazardous and other wastes within the country. The pivotal step in this direction has been the introduction of the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management & Transboundary Movement) [HOWM] Rules, 2016. These rules aim to mitigate the environmental and health impacts associated with hazardous wastes by providing a comprehensive framework for their management.

In a significant development, the Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate Change notified the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Second Amendment Rules, 2023, under notification No. G.S.R 677(E) dated September 18, 2023. This amendment brings a noteworthy change by introducing the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for the environmentally sound management of used oil, effective from April 1, 2024. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has been entrusted with implementing this EPR mandate.

Understanding Used Oil

Used oil, as defined under the HOWM Rules, encompasses any oil derived from crude oil or mixtures containing synthetic oil. This includes spent oil, used engine oil, gear oil, hydraulic oil, turbine oil, compressor oil, industrial gear oil, heat transfer oil, transformer oil, and their tank bottom sludge. These oils are considered suitable for reprocessing if they meet the specifications laid down in Part A of Schedule Vof the HOWM Rules, 2016. However, it’s important to note that waste oil, as separately defined in the HOWM Rules, 2016, is not included in this category.

Registration Requirements for Stakeholders

To streamline the management of used oil and ensure compliance with the EPR, the CPCB has developed a dedicated portal for the registration of various entities involved in the lifecycle of used oil. The following entities are mandated to register on this portal:

Producers: who

manufactures and offers to sell base oil or lubrication oil domestically under its own brand; or

offers to sell lubrication oil domestically under its own brand, using the base oil manufactured by other manufacturers or suppliers; or

offers to sell imported base oil or lubrication oil domestically;

Recyclers: Entities involved in the recycling of used oil.

Used Oil Importers: Entities importing used oil.

Collection Agents: Entities responsible for collecting used oil.

Currently, the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) exclusively permits the registration of producers for the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) concerning used oil on their portal.

To facilitate this, the CPCB has categorized producers into nine distinct categories for registration purposes:

P1: Manufacturers and sellers of base oil.

P2: Importers of base oil.

P3: Manufacturers of base oil who sell lubrication oil under their brand/co-brand.

P4: Importers of lubrication oil.

P5: Entities procure base oil domestically and sell base oil and its products under their brand/co-brand.

P6: Entities procure lubrication oil domestically and sell it under their brand/co-brand.

P7: Entities procure base oil domestically and sell lubrication oil under their brand/co-brand.

P8: Entities procuring re-refined/recycled base oil domestically and selling lubrication oil under their brand/co-brand.

P9: Manufacturers and sellers of re-refined/recycled base oil under their brand/co-brand.

Required Documentation for Registration

Entities seeking registration must provide the following documents:

Company GST certificate

PAN card of the company

IEC certificate

CIN document

TIN document

PAN card of the authorized person

B-52 pilots test new instruments to facilitate the flight of BUFF

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/11/2023 - 08:21 in Military

As the B-52 fleet prepares for new engines, radars and other technological upgrades, a team of test pilots and engineers from Edwards Air Base, California, wants to make the old bomber easier for crews to operate.

Specifically, they are testing new instrumentation, including sets of digital motor meters to replace the current analog meters.

The meter groups show information such as fuel flow and exhaust temperature for each of the B-52's eight engines, which helps pilots check for problems and identify defects. The goal is to make the cabin more intuitive so that pilots can devote more attention to fulfilling the missions.

“Piloting the plane is the first step and using it as a weapons system is the final step,” Lieutenant Colonel Scott Pontzer, commander of the 419º Flight Test Squadron and director of the Combined Global Bomber Test Force, said in a press release on August 22. "So if I can reduce the pilot's workload... I can reduce the general brain task."

The concept of human systems integration, where the systems are adapted to the operator and not vice versa, did not exist when the B-52 cabin was first designed in the late 1940s, said Dave Prakash, a former B-52 operational test pilot and flight operator.

“Whether motor instruments or navigation instruments, they are all designed to fit compactly into existing space, but they were not designed to be easy to use,” he said.

For example, pilots perform cross-checks routinely, where they quickly check their air speed indicator, vertical speed indicator, tilt angle and other instruments to make a decision. Weather is essential, especially during a delicate procedure such as landing at night or in adverse weather conditions. But the way the B-52 cabin is arranged can cost precious half a second or a quarter of a second.

"Instrument groups are not designed in the most efficient way for a pilot to do a cross-check," Prakash said. "In addition, the meters and instruments are not even consistent between the left and right pilot seats, so you have to do a different cross-check depending on the seat you are in."

The problem extends to the engine meters, which display the engine pressure ratio (EPR), fuel flow, exhaust gas temperature, rotations per minute (RPM) and oil pressure. During his time as a test pilot, Prakash analyzed how these and other systems, such as navigation, could be optimized for the operator.

"If it takes 20 button taps to do one thing, is there a way to press just two buttons?" he asked.

The Edwards testing team is working on the same issues as the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program goes online. The switch to digital meters should make it easier for operators to quickly check the engines.

"This provides better accuracy, readability and error indications (for example, color changes), to name a few things," said Major Darin Flynn, B-52H test pilot of the 370º Flight Test Squadron. "We also have EPR demand indicators that greatly reduce the workload during the precise adjustment of the accelerator."

The pilots tested three different prototypes of groups of meters in a simulator and then received a questionnaire to record what they liked or dis liked in it.

“In fact, we are measuring their performance on these monitors and we are also getting very good comments, because now they have really seen what the monitors are like,” Flynn said in the statement. "This will help us select the best design option for the B-52."

Differences between the cockpits of the B-52H and the future B-52J (below).

The new B-52 engines are militarized versions of Rolls-Royce's commercial BR725, and the B-52J software will be a mixture of commercial and military software, explained Flynn and Eric Treadwell, leaders of B-52's human crew systems/factors. In addition to the engine meter groups, the entire cockpit is undergoing a renovation, as the analog displays are replaced by large color multifunction screens.

“What they are doing is fantastic and absolutely critical,” Prakash said of the effort to integrate human systems.

There are still some dangers in better technologies: Prakash warned that problems can arise due to automation prejudice, which occurs when users do not notice failures in automated decision-making systems (such as when spell checking suggests the wrong word); and the fatigue of alarms, where users become insensitive to beeps and recurring alarms that may indicate real danger. Flynn was not very concerned about the first.

"I don't think automation bias will really be a very important factor because, although we are getting new engines [digital engine control with full authority], there is little automation involved," he said. "There will be no automatic accelerators."

Military standards provide guidance to avoid problems such as automation bias and alarm fatigue, Treadwell explained. A working group of government engineers and contractors is also collaborating with B-52 pilots to evaluate and refine the project, a best practice in U.S. Air Force development programs.

“We have different levels of alerts that will be displayed or inhibited depending on the severity and phase of the flight,” Flynn said. "We have already identified some warnings of a commercial nature and not applicable to military use."

In the future, the Edwards team hopes to collaborate with maintainers to get their opinion on digital instruments and whether this would affect their work.

“We can solve problems before they become problems,” Pontzer said in the press release. “Being at the forefront, between Boeing, the 418º FLTS and the [Test Pilot School], all of us working together to use robust systems and proven test methodologies to make good decisions is incredible for the combatant.”

Quantum Photonics: Improving Future Of Light-Based Computing

Quantum Photonics is analyzed on high-performance computers initially. A secret relationship between quantum photonics and classical high-performance computing may surprise you.

High-performance computing (HPC) software has been created by researchers at Paderborn University in Germany to study and characterize the quantum states of a photonic quantum detector.

Using sophisticated classical computers to handle massive datasets, carry out intricate computations, and quickly resolve difficult issues is known as high-performance computing, or HPC.

What Is Quantum Photonics?

The study of producing, modifying, and detecting light in regimes where individual quanta of the light field (photons) may be coherently controlled is known as quantum photonics.

What Is The Use Of Photonics?

Light is transformed into electrical impulses using photonic sensors. The energy sector uses this technology extensively. The most prevalent applications of photonic sensing are solar power and wind, oil, and geothermal energy monitoring.

In the past, it has been essential to investigating quantum phenomena, such as the Bell test experiments and the EPR conundrum. Future technologies including quantum metrology, quantum computing, and quantum key distribution are also anticipated to be greatly advanced by quantum photonics.

Because of their minimal decoherence characteristics, light-speed transmission, and simplicity of manipulation, photons are especially appealing as carriers of quantum information. Traditionally, “bulk optics” technology individual optical components (beamsplitters, lenses, etc.) installed on a massive optical table with a total mass of hundreds of kilograms was used in quantum photonics studies.

Integrated Quantum Photonics

One crucial step in creating practical quantum technology is the use of integrated quantum photonic circuits to quantum photonics. Compared to bulk optics, single die photonic circuits have the following benefits:

Miniaturization: A smaller system size results in an order of magnitude reduction in size, weight, and power consumption.

Stability: Waveguides and other components made from miniature parts using sophisticated lithographic processes are naturally phase stable (coherent) and don’t need optical alignment.

Experiment size: A device that is just a few square centimeters in size may have a large number of optical components.

Manufacturability: Devices may be produced in huge quantities at a much reduced price. Products based on this technology can be produced using current manufacturing processes and procedures since the elements used in Integrated Quantum Photonics are more easily miniaturized due to their well-developed fabrication techniques.

Parts: There are several practical distinctions between quantum and conventional photonic integrated circuits, despite the fact that both employ the same basic components. In quantum photonics, loss is the most important component as single photon quantum states cannot be amplified (no-cloning theorem).

Applications Of Quantum Photonics

Waveguides, directional couplers, and phase shifters are the building elements used to construct single photon sources. Increased nonlinear interaction for photon pair generation is typically provided by optical ring resonators and long waveguide sections, but efforts are also underway to integrate solid state systems single Waveguide photonic circuits for quantum dot and nitrogen-vacancy center photon sources.

Many applications for quantum photonics include:

Quantum communication: It may improve information security via QKD and other methods. Eavesdropping can be stopped using the non-cloning theorem.

Quantum computing: Quantum photonics may encode information in quantum bits (qubits) for faster processing.

Quantum photonic allows quantum simulation.

Using quantum photonics, quantum metrology may be accomplished.

Photonics might enable quantum teleportation.

Random number generators: Random numbers may be produced via quantum photonics.

Quantum Photonics Advantages

The advantages of quantum photonics are many and include:

Scalability

Large quantities of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) may be produced on a wafer, which saves money and time.

Compactness

Unlike optical benches, PICs incorporate optical components into a centimeter-long chip. High degrees of control over light and the generation, modification, and detection of light are made possible by control PICs.

Compatibility

Current silicon chip production techniques and telecom light sources are compatible with photonics.

Adaptability to the environment

Without the need of complex cooling techniques, photon-based computers can function at ambient temperature.

Effective storage

Compared to conventional hardware, photonic quantum computers have a more efficient amount of area for information storage.

Networks of quantum systems

Photonic quantum processors may be used as servers for distributed quantum computing resources or as repeaters for quantum error correction.

Component Of Quantum Photonic

Photons are used in quantum photonics to create and preserve quantum states for quantum processes. Compared to other possibilities, photons are a sensitive medium that is less impacted by electromagnetic interference. Because they may be utilized to create small, scalable, and highly effective devices, photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are an essential component of quantum photonic systems.

Slow progress at Ottawa plastics treaty meet

The fourth session of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-4) for a legally binding global plastics treaty concluded in Ottawa on 29 April. The disappointing news is that no definitive decisions were taken. The ray of hope is that there were debates and discussions on primary plastic polymers, reuse, recycling, and chemical concerns. The fifth meeting will be held in Busan, South Korea, in November.

Spearheaded by Peru and Rwanda, more than 50 countries endeavored to encompass the entire lifecycle of plastic in the treaty. Oil and plastic-producing nations, just as in the previous editions of the meeting, continued their insistence that it is not an upstream issue that could require a cut in polymer and plastic production, but more of a downstream problem, which is the management of plastics.

Opinions on extended producer responsibility (EPR), which would make the producers of packaging/brands responsible for the entire life-cycle of packs, were split. Some countries favored implementing global EPR schemes. Others said they would prefer for these schemes to be voluntary or not included in the final treaty text at all, media reports said.

According to a statement issued by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), the meeting concluded with an advanced draft text of the instrument and agreement on intersessional work ahead of the fifth session in Busan. More than 2,500 delegates representing 170 members and over 480 observer organizations, including non-governmental organizations, intergovernmental organizations, and UN entities, participated in INC-4. This was the largest gathering to date, the UN said.

Delegates worked on negotiating the Revised Draft Text of the international legally binding instrument and discussed emissions and releases, production, product design, waste management, problematic and avoidable plastics, financing, and a just transition.

The members agreed on intersessional work – expert meetings between the official INC sessions. They decided to create an open-ended legal drafting group for INC-5, serving in an advisory capacity.

“We came to Ottawa to advance the text and with the hope that members would agree on the inter-sessional work required to make even greater progress ahead of INC-5. We leave Ottawa having achieved both goals and a clear path to landing an ambitious deal in Busan ahead of us,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of UNEP.

“The work, however, is far from over. The plastic pollution crisis continues to engulf the world and we have just a few months left before the end-of-year deadline agreed upon in 2022. I urge members to show continued commitment and flexibility to achieve maximum ambition,” Andersen said.

Environmentalists and experts working on plastics management see a long battle ahead. Joan Marc Simon, director-founder at Zero Waste Europe, wrote in an editorial, “All in all, this time the countries most impacted by plastic pollution managed to put up a fight in INC-4. Meanwhile, it appears the most polluting culprits got their way through further delays and derailing. There is one last round of negotiations which I hope will signal the beginning of something promising rather than the end of a nightmare. In the meantime, negotiators will continue building a wall not knowing if its purpose will be to trigger action against plastic pollution or to prevent it.”Zero Waste Europe is a European network of communities, local leaders, experts, and change agents working to eliminate waste.

The science has been clear, Simon writes. “We need to reduce plastic production if we want to stay under 2°C warming. The question is not whether we want plastic or not, but rather how much plastic can we afford to stay within planetary boundaries and protect impacted communities and ecosystems.”

Expressing disappointment, Greenpeace International said there is a growing prospect that we may not have a robust plastics treaty as the Ottawa negotiation caved into the interests of the fossil fuels and petrochemicals industry.

Graham Forbes, Greenpeace head of delegation to the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations, said, “The world is burning and member states are wasting time and opportunity. We saw some progress, aided by the continued efforts of states such as Rwanda, Peru, and the signatories of the Bridge to Busan declaration in pushing to reduce plastic production. However, compromises were made on the outcome which disregarded plastic production cuts, further distancing us from reaching a treaty that science requires and justice demands. People are being harmed by plastic production every day, but states are listening more closely to petrochemical lobbyists than health scientists. The entire world is watching, and if countries, particularly in the so-called ‘high-ambition coalition’, don’t act between now and INC-5 in Busan, the treaty they are likely to get is one that could have been written by ExxonMobil and their acolytes.”

Just ahead of the Ottawa meeting, Greenpeace had released a new global survey that says eight out of 10 people in India support cutting plastic production to save the country's biodiversity and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Globally too, eight out of 10 people support cutting plastic production to stop plastic pollution.

Centre of Science and Environment's Siddharth Ghanshyam Singh, who was in Ottawa, mentions in one of his reports that the Closing Plenary was marked by disappointment and dominated by like-minded groups. “The chair presented a proposal for intersessional work, inviting comments and suggestions from the committee. While several countries expressed their support for the Chair’s proposal, a brief (one-hour) consultation revealed that the like-minded countries were now the primary proponents of the new proposal for intersessional work.”

A reluctance to tackle pressing issues such as plastic reduction targets and the consensus versus voting problems stemming from Rule 38.1 of the draft Rules of Procedure raises serious concerns about the Chair’s capability and the committee’s willingness to meet the 2024 deadline for finalizing the treaty text, Singh writes.

The fourth session follows INC-1 in Punta del Este in November 2022, INC-2 in Paris in May/June 2023, and INC-3 in Nairobi in November 2023. INC-5 – set to be the end of the INC process – is scheduled for November 2024 in Busan. Only time will tell if 2024 will see a consensus on a global plastics treaty or if the Busan meeting will end in a logjam. So over to Busan.
