WATER CONTROL.

Thermax generates energy from distillery waste

In a first of its kind
achievement in India, Thermax
has designed and commissioned a
boiler that will generate steam
and power using the highly
polluting distillery waste spent
wash as fuel



Recycling water in steel plants
Thermax is completing a
water recycling plant for large
steel unit coming up at Orissa.
The project will treat its
effluent of iron particles and oil,
using specialised filters, and
reuse the water in its
operations.

Apart from being energy
intensive, the steel sector is
also a big water user. Benchmarked against global standards of 5-10
m
3
of water for every ton of steel produced, the Indian steel sector
uses as high as 10-80 m
3
. The client's plant had installed a Thermax
clarifier and demineraliser plant as early as 1980.

Over the past 30 years, Thermax has been providing steel majors with
sustainable solutions in total water management. Thermax has supplied
integrated systems - from water treatment to effluent cleaning and
recycling.

Smarter municipal sewage treatment plants
Thermax is commissioning a
sewage treatment facility (STP)
for Greater Visakhapatnam
Municipal Corporation in Andhra
Pradesh. Its system using the
patented Fluidised Aerobic Bio-
Reactor (FAB) technology would
treat seven million litres of sewage
per day. FAB is a better alternative
to conventional waste water
treatment systems that are power
intensive and require constant monitoring. It needs only 1/5th the space
of a conventional activated sludge process and is energy efficient.

Civic administration in various regions uses Thermax expertise to ease
the pressure that growing cities exert on available water resources.
Thermax has already commissioned sewage treatment projects for
various municipal corporations like UP Jal Nigam, Pimpri Chinchwad
Municipal Corporation, Maharashtra and Kukatpally Municipality, Andhra
Pradesh, among others. Having commissioned over 350 STPs of varying
capacities, Thermax, today, is the largest supplier of sewage treatment
plants in India

Thermax also offers a basket of technologies for treating sewage which
include - sequencing bio reactor (SBR), membrane bio reactor (MBR),
small capacity STPs, physico-chemical treatment, etc.


Thermax expertise for rural drinking water project
Thermax is using its water
treatment expertise to provide
potable drinking water in villages.
It has supplied Reverse Osmosis
(RO) systems to the Naandi
Foundation, and has installed some
units in the villages of four
districts of the Indian state of
Andhra Pradesh.

Naandi Foundation, a non-
profit organisation established with the aim of improving the lives of
the underprivileged, has already established a self sustaining model of
selling drinking water on a subscription basis. It has been working with
a few water treatment companies. The Foundation contacted Thermax
to support its initiatives to provide safe drinking water in Andhra
villages. Thermax has already supplied over 5000 RO units to industrial
customers and also for public utility service at several installations
including the Delhi Metro.

For Naandi, Water and Waste Solutions group of Thermax
customized modular skid mounted RO units that can be installed for
plug and play operations. The units provide potable water, cleaned off
fluoride present in water in several Andhra districts. Thermax had
installed the units with the help of its channel partner, SS Chemicals.

Industrial Effluent Treatment & Recycling
Thermax provides effluent
treatment solutions for various
types of industrial waste water.
Customised systems to suit the
wide variety of effluents and to
maintain efficiency are provided
to industries systems based on
physico-chemical and biological
treatments and membrane
separation are offered to suit
efficiency. We have the
experience and capability to design and commission a host of clarifiers,
filters, aeration, coagulation and settling systems for waste from
industries like chemicals, drugs, pharma, refineries, leachates, etc.

Recycle and reuse of treated effluents is profitable in the ever
deteriorating environment of water scarcity. Reverse osmosis, ultra-
filtration systems and other tertiary treatment processes make this
possible for industries keen on resource optimisation.











Sea Water Desalination
With the rising cost of fresh
water and its growing scarcity,
economic treatment of sea water
treatment offers the possibility of
bridging the demand-supply gap.

Thermax designs sea water
reverse osmosis for effective and
efficient desalination. Desalination
involves removing dissolved
minerals from sea water and
brackish water (a mixture of fresh water and ocean water) and is an
increasingly important source of fresh water.

We have a number of successful installations that also
incorporate energy recovery systems improve the returns from the
system. Thermax supplied largest seawater desalination plant to a
leading chemical manufacturer in the year 2005.
