Spray Engineering Devices (SED) – Wins VA Tech Wabag Contract for Solar Manufacturing Wastewater Recovery Project

Expert Analysis:

• Spray Engineering Devices (SED) has secured a contract from VA Tech Wabag to design and execute a 300 KLD Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system for RenewSys’ solar PV facility in Hyderabad.

• The project will deploy MVR-based Low Temperature Evaporation (LTE®) technology, enabling recovery of ~90–94% water from industrial effluents, supporting reuse in operations.

• The system is designed to handle high-TDS wastewater while achieving ZLD, significantly reducing freshwater consumption and groundwater dependency.

• Use of Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) ensures energy efficiency with minimal steam consumption, making the solution cost-effective for industrial wastewater treatment.

• The contract strengthens SED’s positioning in industrial water management for high-growth sectors such as solar manufacturing, electronics, and specialty chemicals.

• The project aligns with India’s push toward domestic solar manufacturing and stricter environmental compliance, driving demand for water recycling and sustainable infrastructure.
