With the growing population, the number of rivers/water bodies, and the people's awareness regarding clean water, wastewater treatment has seen significant technological advancements and innovations in process designs over the last decade. Industry players are coming up with advanced, cost-effective, and result-oriented solutions. Also, there is a significant government push behind the growth in this sector. The government's awareness and strict operational norms have made wastewater into a performance-oriented industry rather than just being a compliance application.
Adroit, based in Indore, is involved in the water infrastructure EPC project, which includes designing, constructing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the entire water infrastructure for whole cities and towns or groups of villages. The firm specialized in building water treatment plants, sewage treatment plants, pumping stations, elevated service reservoirs, pipelines, operations and maintenance services, etc. The firm gets its business from state government departments, government-owned enterprises, and industrial corporations through an electronic competitive bidding process.
"We are positioned well in this segment with high presence in municipal and industrial bodies. With a market presence of more than 35 years, we have seen this sector grow and understand the market patterns and industry requirements really well. We are putting high on research and development, in place of importing foreign technologies, we are coming up with some path breaking indigenously developed solutions for the wastewater sector. We are bringing in India's first sequential batch reactor technology with enhanced performance in terms of effluent and reduced economic footprint", stated Jay Purandare, Director, Adroit Associates.
Range of Solutions for Wastewater Treatment
Earlier, the wastewater treatment sector was dominated by foreign technology companies that had their significant components imported from countries like China/Europe and had a very high replacement and maintenance cost, leading to many STPs and ETPs getting abandoned defunct the past. Unlike others, Adroit offers custom design, quality solutions to meet the client demands, and replacing the imported components with products manufactured in their facility under strict quality control and guidance. "We are engaged in design, build and operate contracts funded by reputed development banks and boards such as ADB, European Union, NABARD etc. and has evolved into a specialized enterprise in this sector. Our design and consulting arm has worked with institutions like World Bank in the past to deliver an expertise and consultation at par with international standards", added Jay.
Furthermore, Adroit Associates Private Limited are doing several wastewater and integrated community water supply EPC projects with long-term operation and maintenance contracts. These projects are geographically widespread and last anywhere between two to three years and require immense technical and management aptitude to successfully execute the project on time and with intended benefit to the end-user. Hence, the company has created robust management systems, processes, and effective tools to monitor project progress and glitches. Their design team focuses on catering to end user requirements and innovating to ease manufacturing, project execution, and fulfil the patrons' needs.
Adroit is evolving more into a technology company, from an EPC cum manufacturing enterprise focused on solving more significant problems in the industry with benefits reaching all stakeholders across the current business periphery's boundaries. The company is closely working on integrating data analytics and automation with the products and projects to yield digital transformation. Along with this, the company is also working with Indian Railways' development projects under Make in India to indigenize imported components to be used by railways since the last many years.
