Safety and the Environment
AST has, since its inception, provided
and used environmentally friendly process technologies.
Our focus has always been to use technology which
controls pollution and recovers effluent for re-use.
We have integrated on-site facilities for treatment
of waste prior to discharge. AST uses proprietary
processes to treat gaseous, liquid and solid effuent.
We adhere to strict application of safety rules,
major investment, and commitment up in three priorities:
preventing accidents and accidental pollution, reducing
effluent and waste, and building cradle to grave
environmental awareness into our products.
