Location

Gujarat

Capacity

650 m³/day ETP with ZLD

THE CHALLENGE

Close the loop on high-strength industrial effluent

The plant needed to maximise water recovery, achieve ZLD and reduce freshwater dependency through a sustainable closed-loop water-management system.

ENGINEERING APPROACH

Engineering approach

Clarification, filtration, membrane systems and evaporation enable high water recovery, process reuse and efficient reject management.

INTEGRATED SOLUTION

Treatment designed for recycle and reuse

  1. 01

    Primary treatment

    • Lamella clarifier
    • Multi-grade filter
  2. 02

    Tertiary treatment

    • UF
    • Two-stage RO
  3. 03

    ZLD

    • Multi-effect evaporator

PROJECT OUTCOMES

Treatment, recycling and reuse

  • 01

    ZLD compliance

    Achieved zero liquid discharge in compliance with GPCB norms.

  • 02

    Process reuse

    Recovered treated water is utilised within the plant, reducing freshwater consumption.

  • 03

    Water recovery

    Achieved 90–95% water recovery through membrane and evaporation technologies.

  • 04

    Reject management

    RO reject is effectively managed through MEE.

  • 05

    Sustainability

    Strengthens water security while supporting sustainability and ESG commitments.
