Environest Global, promoted by a city based entrepreneur, P.K. Senthil Kumar, has signed a memorandum of understanding to form a joint venture with the U.S. based Biopipe Global Corp, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lifequest World Corp to install patented onsite 100 per cent noiseless sludge free and odour free sewage waste treatment plant (STP) by various untapped users.
According to Senthil Kumar, the company is adopting highly efficient Turkish technology by installing pre-fabricated indigenously assembled set even in small area. This would enable the user to avoid high cost installation of RCC structures to place STP unit. It will also enable easy maintenance, Senthil said. This STP is capable of delivering nearly equal to potable water which can be used for irrigation and cleaning purposes.
Commenting on the scope of business, Senthil Kumar said, “Environest had chalked out a well laid plan to achieve a business of Rs. 100 crore in the first 3 years by targeting various institutions, industries, hotels, hospitals, residential and Commercial complexes and Labour camps.”
“The company has already successfully installed a 30 Kilo litres per day (KLD) for Hotel Pratap Plaza, Chennai and a 20 KLD system for Hotel Darling Classic, Vellore. Negotiations are underway for setting up STP with Hotel Dolphin, Vizag, Ramoji Film City, Hyderabad, GRT group of hotels, Pan India, Novel Tech Park, Bangalore and Vygyan University, Guntur which is expected to fructify in the coming months,” he added.
With the encouragement for waste water management both by the Central and State Governments and more focus on protecting agricultural land, the company will not find any difficulty in mobilising capital besides his own contribution. The Finance Minister in her recent budget has allocated about Rs. 2.3 lakh crore towards irrigation, rural development, and for processing waste water.
“We are extremely pleased with Environest’s ability to not only overcome initial hurdles but also their ability to assemble, install and commission a plant with limited involvement from our side. We are now very confident that this will allow us to scale up our operations in a short span of time,” said Enes Kutluca, CEO, Biopipe.
According to industry estimates, Indians on average use 120 to 125 litres (33 gallons) of water daily, about half of this are wastewater. By using treatment plant, the processed water has a potential to generate 940 MW power.
As per the data of UN, at least 1.8 billion people globally use contaminated water for drinking purposes, and more than 80 per cent of animal and human wastewater is directly discharged into rivers or the sea without eliminating the pollution content.
