Va Tech Wabag, a pure-play water technology Indian multinational group, with its European subsidiary Wabag Water Services, Romania, secured a repeat order from Purolite, Romania worth about Rs 260 crore (EUR 30 million) towards upgrading the industrial wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in Romania.
The contract will be an engineering and procurement (EP) scope contract which includes design and engineering, equipment supply, installation, commissioning and start-up of the Purolite Victoria WWTP. The project is scheduled to be executed over a 24-month period.
The existing plant, located in Victoria, Brasov County, was designed to treat 5,820 cubic metre per day of wastewater generated from resin production. Purolite has planned to increase its production and an increased wastewater flow will result from production. Thus, an upgrade of the existing WWTP has become necessary.
Erwin Moetz, CEO, Wabag Romania, said, “We have already built a wastewater treatment plant for Purolite and this repeat order is indeed a great testament to the trust that the customer has, regarding our capability and competencies. Wabag Romania specializes in the design and construction of industrial water plants and this project will be another marquee reference for us.”
The upgrade will include additional pre-treatment, an extension of existing lamella clarifiers, and a new reverse osmosis stage, in order to treat the effluent up to national NTPA001 discharge criteria. The key features of the WWTP upgrade include influent pretreatment, cooling, neutralization, SO4, and calcium precipitation and solids separation, reverse osmosis treatment stage and brine evaporation crystallization.
