Project overview
A large glass manufacturing facility in western India was generating a high volume of wastewater from its production processes. With increasing pressure to improve water sustainability and reduce freshwater dependency, the facility required a comprehensive solution to treat, recycle, and eliminate wastewater discharge.
Thermax evaluated the site requirements and proposed a fully integrated effluent treatment and zero liquid discharge solution on a turnkey basis.
Challenges
- High wastewater generation from glass manufacturing processes
- Dependence on freshwater for operations
- Need to eliminate liquid effluent discharge
- Requirement for a reliable, end-to-end treatment and recycling solution
- Need for long-term operational support
Solution
- Thermax designed, supplied, and installed an 800 KLD effluent treatment plant with recycling and zero liquid discharge capability
- Integrated treatment processes including equalisation, clarification, membrane filtration, and ZLD
- Turnkey execution covering engineering, supply, installation, and commissioning
- Comprehensive operations and maintenance support to ensure sustained performance
- Project completed within a 10-month timeline
Result
- Recycling of 800 KLD of treated effluent
- Significant reduction in freshwater consumption
- Complete elimination of wastewater discharge
- Improved water sustainability and regulatory compliance
- Reliable, long-term operation of the water management system
