The Industrial Waste Water Treatment (IWWT) market in India is mainly driven by the need to maintain compliances in order to satisfy the rules set by statutory authorities. In recent times, however, visionary Corporates have started to shift their attention to-wards the detrimental environmental impact of industrial effluents and have started to take sustainability into account. Although India has numerous perennial rivers and large water bodies in the form of lakes – it has been observed that most of the rivers in the industrial belts have started to become overstressed.
Furthermore, the Disposal of treated effluents on land has proved to be impractical as soil loses permeability with constant ponding. Disposal into the deep sea is not feasible as it is practical only for the industries located near the coastal areas. In such a scenario, statutory compliances have shifted their attention towards ZLD – zero liquid discharge.
Incorporated in the year 1996 as a joint Indo-US venture, Advent Envirocare has emerged as one of the premier companies when it comes to deploying leading-edge effluent and water treatment applications.
Over the years, Advent Envirocare has carved out a niche in the domain specializing in two cutting-edge technologies - the highly advanced biological treatment technology with low operating cost, low maintenance, and low footprint called the Advent Integral System and the Non-thermal Brine Concentrator - a membrane-based technology that reduces the operating cost of ZLD plants drastically.
In industrial effluent reuse applications, the use of membranes is inevitable. Commercially available membranes, whether required for ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis, were primarily developed for water applications and then adapted for effluent recycling applications. The company’s approach has always been to pretreat the effluent to the extent that it can control the parameters that can cause severe fouling and scaling in the membranes.
This approach provides the customers reliable and cost-effective solutions for all their reuse and ZLD needs. In addition, Advent Envirocare is the pioneer in developing a first-of-its-kind full-scale Forward Osmosis-based prototype system that permits higher recovery through membranes and ultimately reduces the load to downstream thermal systems like MEE/MVC.
Advent Envirocare had diversified into membrane separation and wastewater treatment applications way back in the year 2001. Ever since the deployment of its first-ever Zero Discharge System with salt recovery in India for a Textile processing unit based in South India, the company has played a pioneering role in the deployment of ZLDs, and today the Advent Group has India’s largest industrial ZLD project and also the largest ZLD CEPT project under its name.
In merely two decades, the India-US venture has completed over 50 projects in India, serving some of the most prominent clients in the process, which includes the likes of Asian Paints, Cipla, Cadila, Tata, Reliance, Adani, amongst many others, including India’s largest CETP.
Backed by 25 years of highly successful and focused turn-key execution of industrial effluent systems, Advent Envirocare aspires to capitalize on the latest global demands specifically prevalent in the chemical, steel and textile industries and continue to deliver leading edge, cost-effective and reliable IWWT solutions.
