When a large stainless steel manufacturer in India planned a plant expansion, wastewater treatment was one of the first priorities. The space was limited. The effluent was complex. The timeline was tight. And the solution needed to work every day, without fuss. That’s where Shachi stepped in.
What was needed
The requirement was clear:
A 30 KLD Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant that could handle both RO reject and spent acid streams, within a compact layout, while staying cost-effective in the long run.
The client was looking for:
- A plant that fits within space constraints
- Proven technology suited for steel industry effluents
- Reliable and consistent operations
- Lower operational costs compared to traditional MEE systems
How it was built
The ZLD plant was designed around an MVR-based evaporation system, equipped with a horizontal Calandria forced circulation evaporator and supported by a German-made MVR blower for consistent and reliable performance.
Key features included:
- Compact footprint: 30% smaller than conventional setups
- Energy-efficient operation: 50% lower OPEX
- Dual stream handling: Designed to process RO reject and spent acid, individually or in combination
- Reliable components: MVR blower sourced from Germany for long-term stability
- Smooth compliance: The system meets regulatory norms for reliable operations
The plant was engineered, supplied, and commissioned as a turnkey project.
The ZLD plant is now up and running, processing complex wastewater streams with ease.
It’s a reminder that when the design is right, performance doesn’t have to come at the cost of space, complexity, or sustainability.
