After successfully opening a first-of-its-kind effluent water treatment plant at Bodal Chemical’s site, Modern Water Plc, a UK-based advanced membrane technology provider, has announced the opening of the world’s first brine treatment plant in Vadodara.
The plant, based on Modern Water’s all-membrane brine concentration process (AMBC) was opened by British Deputy High Commissioner in Gujarat, Geoff Wain. “The plant treats technically challenging waste water for Indian chemicals giant Bodal Chemicals. This is a crucial part of an energy-efficient treatment process for a highly saline organic-laden effluent stream from the dye manufacturing operation that achieves zero liquid discharge,” a statement said here.
The project was undertaken by Modern Water with its partner in India. The Modern Water's AMBC process is based on its proprietary forward osmosis and related processes. AMBC significantly reduces the cost of ZLD plants.
“In addition to licensing and designing the AMBC, Modern Water also provided specialist equipment, supervised commissioning of the plant and trained Bodal’s operations staff,” it said. Simon Humphrey, Modern Water's CEO, said that the company was proud at the opening “what is a world-first”.
