In a world grappling with water scarcity, pollution, and the urgent need for sustainable solutions, Murugappa Water Technology and Solutions Pvt. Ltd. emerges as a beacon of hope. With a commitment to excellence and innovation, Murugappa is at the forefront of combating the water crisis through groundbreaking technologies that redefine water treatment. Among its arsenal of solutions, Murugappa’s use of latent technology stands out, promising not just treatment but transformation of wastewater into a valuable resource.
At the heart of Murugappa’s transformative approach lies Aquatron, a nature-restorative technology designed to treat all forms of wastewater to pure water. This patented water recovery technology achieves Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) and Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (ZDHC) without relying on traditional chemical or biological processes. Instead, it employs Specific Frequencies of Dissociation (SFoD) and Vander Waals forces to break down dissolved solids into their elemental forms. The resulting clean water, recovered through a Reduction-Facilitated-Osmotic-Diffusion (RFOD) process, meets drinking water standards, avoiding toxic sludge generation and maintaining a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
Murugappa’s Ultra C Mem technology addresses the challenge of treating tough, high-load, high-temperature, and corrosive industrial wastewater. With non-polymeric membrane-based separation, this solution offers robust filtration capabilities for diverse applications, from raw water pretreatment to process liquid separation. The pilot unit boasts salient features like asymmetric Al2O3 modules, higher flux ranges, and special coatings targeting persistent contaminants.
Murugappa’s Rotec technology revolutionizes reverse osmosis with high recovery rates based on flow reversal. Unlike conventional RO systems that typically recover only 60%-80% of water, Rotec boasts an exceptional recovery rate of over 90%, significantly reducing brine discharge and minimizing environmental impact. By maximizing water recovery and minimizing brine discharge, Rotec ensures efficient water utilization and reduced environmental impact. This innovation eliminates the need for costly and complex Multi Effect Evaporators (MEE) traditionally used to treat concentrated saline reject (Brine), streamlining operations and reducing both capital and operational expenses.
Murugappa’s ‘Ultra High Recovery RO System’ not only achieves exceptional recovery rates but also eliminates the intermittent chemical treatments required in conventional tertiary RO setups. Remarkably, this breakthrough is achieved using conventional RO membranes, without the need for specialized or high-cost competing technologies. Murugappa Water Technology and Solutions (MWTS) offers pilot skids of the ‘Ultra High Recovery RO System,’ providing clients with a plug-and-play solution that can seamlessly transition into a full-fledged treatment plant after successful trials. Housed within a compact HQ 40-foot container, this innovative system is not only efficient but also easily transportable, ensuring flexibility and convenience for various applications.
Innovative electrochemical processes are at the core of Electramet, offering efficient removal and recovery of economically strategic metals from wastewater streams. This sustainable approach not only addresses pollution but also contributes to resource conservation and circular economy principles.
At the forefront of metal recovery from wastewater streams, ElectraMet harnesses innovative electrochemical processes to efficiently remove and recover economically strategic metals. This sustainable approach contributes to resource conservation and circular economy principles. ElectraMet’s cutting-edge technology finds ideal applications in various industries, from microelectronics manufacturing, such as semiconductor production, to lithium-ion battery recycling, where it optimizes black mass refining by enhancing target metal purity and eliminating impurities.
ElectraMet’s revolutionary process streamlines metal treatment by eliminating the need for complicated chemical processes involving coagulants, flocculants, and pH adjustments. By doing so, it reduces sludge production, minimizes associated labor, hauling, and disposal fees, and significantly decreases the footprint compared to traditional treatment methods. Moreover, ElectraMet’s automated system provides real-time analytics, ensuring precise process control and simplifying execution while reducing reliance on staff. Tailored carbon electrode technology enables ElectraMet to achieve highly specific metals removal, producing high-grade copper plates from dissolved metals like copper, which can be recycled to create a new income stream and foster a circular economy. With scalable systems tailored to the size and needs of different operations, ElectraMet offers a versatile solution for metal recovery across diverse industries.
Murugappa’s ZwitterCo introduces cutting-edge chemistry with patented zwitterionic membranes that are extremely resistant to fouling. These patented membranes, imbued with the remarkable power of zwitterions, exhibit exceptional resistance to fouling, ensuring consistent performance and prolonged membrane lifespan.
ZwitterCo’s innovation lies in its utilization of zwitterions, molecules possessing both positive and negative charged groups in close proximity. This unique molecular structure attracts water molecules while repelling organic components such as proteins, fats, and oils that tend to adhere to traditional membranes, obstructing their filtration capacity. By integrating zwitterions into a robust backbone, ZwitterCo creates highly hydrophilic membranes that effectively prevent organic components from adhering to the membrane surface or clogging its pores. The result is a dependable, long-lasting filtration solution that upholds the integrity and sustainability of water treatment processes.
