The production of phthalates and chlor-alkalis demands robust, efficient water management — generating diverse wastewater streams while requiring high-quality water for production, utility and ancillary operations.
Ahura Aqua provides specialised treatment tailored to this sector across all four critical applications — Process Water, ETP, Recovery and Zero Liquid Discharge — ensuring both operational efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Esterification-based production generates wastewater carrying organic compounds and process-specific chemicals that must be neutralised and treated before reuse or discharge.
Electrolysis of brine to produce chlorine, caustic soda and hydrogen yields high-chloride, high-TDS effluent that demands precipitation, clarification and salt-tolerant recovery.
High-purity water is crucial to prevent contamination and ensure product quality. A multi-stage train delivers consistent demineralised water for the production process.
Water for cooling, boiler feed and support services — treated to each application’s specific quality requirement to prevent scaling, corrosion and other operational issues.
Diverse effluent — organic compounds, chlorides and process-specific chemicals — is treated before discharge or recovery via neutralization, precipitation, coagulation and clarification.
Treated ETP water is further processed for reuse, achieving 89–93% recovery; the remaining 7–11% concentrate is evaporated via MVR for complete ZLD and sustainable, compliant operations.
Advanced recovery delivers substantial cost savings and reduced freshwater intake. The remaining 7–11% concentrated stream is evaporated via Mechanical Vapour Recompression (MVR) — separating water from dissolved solids for complete ZLD and environmentally compliant operations.
