Industrial Effluent Treatment and Recycling

Effluent Treatment is more a passion than business for the Engineers at GES. Their familiarity with varied effluents over the years have resulted in the evolution of many innovative concepts and ideas. They have been streamlined to:

» Approach the effluent with a view to re-use the treated water than to discharge it by merely meeting the regulatory requirements.

» Use one industry’s effluent to treat another

» Produce commercially valuable products from the effluent

» At GES we look at effluents ‘differently’ which is why we conspicuously avoid referring  to them as wastewater. We don’t consider them wastes but precious (misplaced) resources.

Any treatment design first explores the possibility of treating the effluent with a view to wholly or partially re-using the same in the original process or for an auxiliary application. The option of discharge comes into picture only when recycling/ re-use is prohibitively expensive or not permitted.

To name just a few of the industrial effluents on which our Engineers have hands on experience, we have :

» Petroleum, Petrochemical, Power Plants

» Chemicals, Pharmaceuticals, Fertilisers

» Pulp & Paper, Yarn

» Sugar, Distilleries, Breweries

» Automobile, Heavy Engineering

» Textile, Latex, Tanneries

» Hospitality and Hospitals

» Electronics, Metal Finishing

» Dairy, Food & Beverage

» Fisheries, Meat Processing

The approach to Effluent Treatment at GES involves a series of analyses of several typical samples of the effluent to study the characteristics of various individual streams and the composite sample. Thus the treatability is established and treatment procedure identified. In most cases this is then followed by a pilot scale treatment after which the techno-commercial proposal is put forth to the customer by GES/ Distributor.
