The plant is located in the south-east part of the city of Moscow, near the Moskva River. The nearest housing is located 680 m north-east of the plant.
Students from Universities in Moscow are invited to visit the factory each year in June on the occasion of the World Environment Day.
In 2008, efforts were made to improve the treatment of discharge from the purifying plant and an awareness campaign was launched through suppliers to promote environmental protection and strengthen controls in waste management.
