Water Treatment Systems in Rural Punjab
The Punjab government, in its efforts to ensure clean and clear drinking water to various rural areas including schools as a part of the overall government scheme for eradication of drinking water related issues, selected Ion Exchange to partner their efforts in this area. Two major activities that we are participating in, under the government’s drinking water programme, are provision of community drinking water system for rural areas and point-of-use water purifier for rural schools.
Community Drinking Water System
Since the raw water source in various areas in the state had different contaminants, the choice of technology was a crucial deciding factor in the government choosing to partner with Ion Exchange for these solutions. Our state-of-art fluoride removal systems are used to treat water containing harmful fluoride ions making it suitable for drinking. For other areas in the state where turbidity and suspended impurities are a problem because of canal water sources our state-of-the-art continuous sand filters provide an effective solution for removal of these impurities. These filters by virtue of their unique design, are ideally suited for rural areas because they require no operator attention/stoppage for backwash and can also withstand spikes and higher levels of turbidity and suspended solids.
POU Drinking Water Purifiers for Rural Schools
Under the Rajiv Gandhi Drinking Water Mission, the Ministry of Rural Development and the Dept. of Drinking Water Supply launched the Jalmani project, to provide non-electricity base drinking water purifier systems for schools in rural India. Ion Exchange received an order for 750 Eco+ Puriline POU systems from the Government of Punjab for their government schools, for disinfection and removal of microbial impurities from water.
Our Home Water Solutions (Retail) division created ripples with award of a contract for 6000 Suraksha Plus purifiers from Headquarters, Northern Command.

Sewage Recycle at ITC Maurya
In 2007, the ITC-Welcomgroup entered a new phase in its collaboration with Starwood Hotels & Resorts, with an exclusive tie-up to bring in the Starwod premium brand, Luxury to India. These super deluxe and premium Luxury Collection hotels are located at seven strategic business and leisure locations in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore,, ITC Hyderabad and Agra.
The makeover to luxury class started with ITC Maurya - the flagship hotel of the chain which receives VIPs from all over the world including the President of the United States. In keeping with ITC’s eco vision, it included environment friendly features with zero discharge by recycling over 800 m3/day waste water as a prime initiative. Ion Exchange was among the companies selected to present technology options. The proposal to use the membrane bioreactor (MBR) was accepted; and after being shortlisted, with two other world leading MBR suppliers, Ion Exchange was preferred for this project, which includes a five year O&M contract of the MBR plant. The selection was based on our experience, capability, back up service and local presence. Our pilot units at various locations including Delhi, our many full scale installations in India and our proposal to incorporate flat sheet MBR modules with their many advantages in terms of cleanablity of membrane surface, over the competing hollow fibre modules, played a key role in the award of the contract.
The treated water will be used for the cooling towers, toilet flushing, horticulture and laundry as well as to maintain the “Budha Jayanti Park” (a corporate social responsibility initiative).
Execution of the project was indeed challenging, as work had to proceed in a functioning hotel and the arrival of dignitaries and celebrities would bring execution of the project to a halt for the duration of their stay. However, close cooperation and interaction between the ITC and Ion Exchange teams saw the completion of civil and piping work, electrical cabling, mechanical erection and the installation & commissioning of the MBR modules, to allow the sewage to enter the MBR.

Zero B Water Vending Stations
The Zero B Water Vending Station is a fully automated water dispensing machine. The multi-stage purification process assures fresh, pure and safe quality of water that meets USEPA standards. The micro processor based system dispenses water accurately in 150 ml, 200 ml and 1000 ml quantities, without any wastage. A built-in chiller and heater dispense chilled and hot water as required, with a facility for dispensing unchilled (room temperature) water. An important benefit is reduction of “plastic” pollution as it eliminates requirement of plastic bottles.
The Zero B water vending station is ideal for high traffic areas such as bus stands, railway stations, tourist spots, pilgrimage centres, super malls, residential complexes, commercial establishments, factories, offices, hotels and hospitals. A countrywide Zero B service network ensures prompt, efficient service.

Drinking Water Treatment in Punjab
About 50 villages with a population of around 45000, are benefiting from our water treatment plants at Hardosharni and Tibbad, near Pathankot, Punjab. The water available was not suitable for drinking, cooking or bathing, due to very high turbidity and the presence of high biological content. The water treatment plants which consist of a continuous sand filter and an activated carbon filter, produce 50,000 litres of potable per day. Villagers have noticed the visible improvement in water quality.
