The new plant is being developed to accommodate rapid industrial growth in the city of Sehore.
Xylem will provide wastewater treatment expertise and technology, including a Sanitaire ICEAS advanced Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) system, which will support the treatment of 12 million litres of wastewater per day.
The Xylem contract includes designing the treatment process, supplying and installing all treatment technology (including Sanitaire ICEAS SBR system, diffusers, decanters, control and instrumentation technology) and commissioning the plant.
Raveendra Bhat, director of Treatment and Dewatering at Xylem India, said: “Approximately 100 000 people in the city of Sehore will benefit from this new plant which will enrich the quality of life in the region. We are pleased to be able to support this ambitious project by providing a bespoke solution which will facilitate the reliable, sustainable treatment of wastewater.”
Construction of the new facility is already underway with the plant expected to be operational by August 2018.
