Portable water for all

Recent findings from the World Resources Institute (WRI) highlight a significant environmental forecast: by 2050, an additional billion people will reside in regions facing severe water stress, where annually, at least 40 percent of the available renewable water resources are utilized.

 

Amidst the ever-increasing demand for sustainable water solutions in industries, water treatment is crucial. Untreated wastewater poses a serious threat to water resources, ecosystems and human health. Recognizing this, our client sought out innovation and purpose to improve industrial water treatment processes. They had a vision that encompassed universal access to potable water, sanitation, and hygiene, promoting equitable societies, and protecting ecosystems from water-related calamities. As an organization driven by core principles of innovation and sustainability, we eagerly accepted the challenge.

 

The article illustrates that while the path to sustainability may be arduous, a shared commitment to meaningful action with like-minded organizations strengthens our efforts and, in turn, our impact.

Eco-conscious engineering

In order to undertake this audacious endeavor, we had to first address critical pain points for our client. From water treatment engineering to 3D design proficiency, we addressed all these with innovative solutions.

 

We went into providing help for project engineering, piping engineering, structural engineering, design analysis, electrical & instrumentation engineering, controls & automation engineering. In addition, we worked together on supporting SAP as well as technical publications and Quality Management System (QMS) help. Resolving these issues ensured that water treatment projects worldwide would receive the necessary support for seamless execution and success.

Zeroing in on sustainability

Addressing engineering solutions for complex technologies like Zero Liquid Technologies Discharges (ZLD), Ultra Pure Water(UPW), Anaerobic digestion Technologies(ADT) and many other technologies available in water and waste water treatment process and Bio solid/Bio energy solutions. They required meticulous planning to prevent industrial wastewater discharge into the environment. We successfully struck a balance between efficient waste handling and environmentally sustainable practices, thereby minimizing the impact on the ecosystems.

 

When it came to site-specific requirements, we ensured that the approach was tailored to each region’s needs, ensuring accuracy and compliance. To carry this out effectively, we provided site support, coordinating with local teams to ensure the smooth implementation of solutions across each region.

Fulfilling environmental objectives

When your goal is to progress with sustainability, the journey can be a long one. However, it is well worth it, as we have seen with our client. The collaboration with our client yielded far-reaching results.

 

In 2022, our client provided 111 million inhabitants with drinking water and 97 million with sanitation, produced 44 terawatt hours, and recovered 61 million tons of waste.

 

We are delighted to have contributed to environmental conservation by reducing CO2 emissions by 14 MT and saving 320 million cubic meters of water annually. These outcomes align with the ‘2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’ Sustainable Development Goal 6, which emphasizes access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and ecosystem protection.

Together towards sustainability

Water treatment solution

This collaboration has signaled technological advances and established a standard for water treatment. Our core goals in this regard continue to be achieving client satisfaction and continuous innovation and advancement in applying our water treatment knowledge to make a beneficial contribution to the world.

 

Delving into each intricate aspect of this project has furthered our knowledge, encouraging innovation and operational excellence. We have learned priceless lessons, highlighting how important it is to persevere and skillfully problem-solve. These realizations will act as beacons of guidance for us as we move forward, striving toward even greater development and success.
