Tata Power to install waste water recovery plant in India

Tata Power has announced the installation of a wastewater recovery plant (WWRP) at its power house located in Jamshedpur, India.

Tata Power operations and maintenance general manager DS Kudalkar said that the project is being undertaken to reiterate the need for reducing water consumption, which is in line with the company’s policy of environment conservation.

"We are certain that this will help in reduction of water wastage, better plant availability as well as environment conservation. This is a step towards ‘Zero discharge’, and shall contribute towards sustainability," Kudalkar added.

Wastewater generated from the side stream filtration plant will be filtered and purified by the WWRP, and would then be used as alternative water in the cooling system of the plant, thereby reducing overall wastewater discharge.

The new WWRP is expected to be fully functional in January 2013.
