We are delighted to announce the successful commissioning and hand-over of a cutting-edge Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) plant for a leading pharmaceutical firm based in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh (India). This pharmaceutical firm specializes in the production of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) and intermediates for the global pharma industry.
The newly commissioned ZLD plant plays a critical role in addressing the firm’s wastewater management requirements by treating both Reverse Osmosis (RO) reject and production effluent. The installation of a 4 Effect Evaporator supplied by Shachi Engineering, and incorporating Taprogge’s KLAREN Technology, marks a major step towards efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment in the pharmaceutical sector.
Key Highlights of the ZLD Plant with the KLAREN self-cleaning Technology:
1. Efficient Concentration of Effluent: The 4 Effect Evaporator is designed to concentrate the effluent from 14% Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) to 50% Total Solids (TS), drastically reducing the liquid waste volume.
2. Backward Feed Evaporation Design: The evaporator is designed as a backward feed system, where the highest concentration and temperature of the effluent occur in the same effect. This results in optimized energy usage and maximum efficiency in treating the highly concentrated waste.
3. KLAREN Technology for Scaling Control: Scaling is a major issue when dealing with high concentration and temperature in effluent streams. To address this challenge, Klaren Technology has been implemented in the effect with the highest concentration, where scaling risks are highest. This technology ensures smooth operation, optimum evaporation capacity and longer equipment life by mitigating scaling issues.
4. Integration of ATFD: The final concentrated effluent is processed by an Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD), ensuring the complete evaporation of liquid and leaving behind only dry solids. This ensures zero liquid discharge and complies with strict environmental regulations.
The successful commissioning of this ZLD plant demonstrates a major commitment towards sustainable production processes while meeting environmental guidelines. By efficiently handling pharma effluent and ensuring zero liquid discharge, the plant contributes to a cleaner, greener pharmaceutical manufacturing environment.
We look forward to continued collaboration and delivering more innovative solutions for the industry!
