Chennai-based VA Tech Wabag has secured contracts worth approximately $43.2 million from GAIL (India) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) for water treatment and recycling projects.

GAIL Contract: Valued at approximately $40.8 million, the contract involves designing, building, and operating (DBO) water treatment and effluent recycling plants at GAIL’s petrochemical complex in Pata, Uttar Pradesh. The project scope includes:

Establishing a 450 m³/hr ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO)-based effluent recycling plant. Installing a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system. Building a new wastewater treatment facility and upgrading an existing plant. Completion of EPC work is scheduled within 24 months, followed by six months of operations and maintenance (O&M). The recovered water will be used for cooling tower makeup, with Projects and Development India (PDIL) serving as the Engineer-in-Charge.

IOCL Contract: Wabag also secured a repeat order worth approximately $2.4 million from IOCL to operate and maintain the tertiary treatment reverse osmosis (TTRO) plant at Panipat Refinery, Haryana, for an additional three years.

Wabag has been managing this plant since its commissioning in 2006. Notably, the TTRO plant is India’s first industrial water recycling facility in the oil and gas sector. These contracts reinforce Wabag’s leadership in water treatment solutions across India’s industrial sector.
