A Sustainability-Driven Initiative
The facilities will utilize cutting-edge water treatment technologies to produce tertiary-treated water suitable for industrial reuse, significantly reducing reliance on freshwater sources. A key sustainability component is the anaerobic digestion of sludge, which will generate biogas to power plant operations, lowering external energy requirements and advancing the state’s green energy goals.
“This prestigious repeat order from BWSSB reaffirms our leadership in the water reuse sector and highlights our commitment to sustainable innovation,” said S. Natrajan, Vice President – Sales & Marketing, India Cluster at WABAG. “We are proud to contribute to Karnataka’s water security by delivering future-ready infrastructure that enables water reuse, reduces environmental impact, and supports resilient urban development.”
