Water infrastructure market in India has been consistently growing in last few years. Even today large section of population in India does not have access to safe drinking water and safe treatment and disposal of sewage is still a distant reality for most' of the semi urban and rural population in India. Government of India has identified these needs and is taking steps to address this problem by increased funding through central government grants, NRCD etc. Many Municipal corporations and State Governments are planning projects with funding from international agencies like World Bank, Asian Development Bank, JBIC etc. 

 
Growing water demand is forcing many Industries to look for effluent recycling option involving membrane separation technology In States like Tamilnadu, and Gujarat, sea water desalination projects are coming up in a big way. The Company is actively involved in providing pretreatment solutions to seawater desalination projects. The Company has tied up with a multinational Company to provide pretreatment technologies for seawater. The Company is already executing one such project at M/s. Tata Chemicals Limited at Mithapur. The Company is also associated with India's largest seawater desalination project of 100 MLD capacity being put up at Minjur in Tamilnadu for which we shall provide crucial filtration systems. Many such projects are in advance planning stage and the company expects to get its potential share.


The Company has recently completed refinery Wastewater Treatment plant projects for IOCL and BPCL. The Company has bagged orders worth Rs.500.000 Millions for Municipal sewage treatment plants and Industrial effluent treatment plants from various customers like Tata Chemicals, CIDCO and IISCO. 

 
The Company has established itself as a favoured EPC partner for various multinational companies like GE Water - USA, Cairn Energy - UK and Befesa - Spain for their projects in India and has secured orders for supply of Filters, Clarifiers and other pre-treatment systems and also for Design and Engineering services. The Company has submitted bids for Refinery Waste water Treatment and recycling plant packages worth more than Rs.2000.000 Million and is a lowest bidder in against various Indian and Foreign companies.

PULP AND PAPER 

 
Strong economic growth, increased consumer spending and improvements in conversion technology are expected to drive Indian per capita consumption of Paper from 6 kg / annum to world average of over 50 kg / annum. The global pulp and paper industry is increasingly viewing Asia as the growth engine. The Indian industry is expected to witness heightened competitive activity in the coming years. Rise in input costs, technology upgradation, zero discharge plant and quality consistency are major challenges facing Indian Paper Industry. 

 
With the growing demand of Paper globally, the Company is poised to make headway in the Fibreline area. 

 
In the past while small Paper Mills were successful in making paper out of Agro based pulp, the Company promoted Special washers for such pulp handling and had the expertise to make it a grand success. Similarly, in the area of cooking Continuous digesters are introduced which is gaining ground and will be an addition to the existing product line. Continous Digester enjoys tremendous advantages over conventional Batch Digesters in terms of savings and uniformity in power, steam, caustic, manpower, ease of handling besides imparting better pulp strength properties. Most of the Mills have started switching over to Continous type of Digesters with the help of the Company's technology and systems. 

 
The Company with state of art manufacturing facility at Vatva factory coupled with latest technology on agro-pulping and proven track record of service among all major pulp and paper companies in India is uniquely positioned to tap the full growth potential of pulp and paper Industry. 

 
Agricultural by products such as Baggase, Wheatstraw, and Ricestraw are some of the raw-materials used for the manufacture of Paper. These are gaining ground as a substitute to Hardwood which is a fast depleting resource. To handle these raw materials the company has the technology and a complete range of equipments from Wet cleaning Plants, Continous Digesters, Brown Stock Washers, Bleaching System and Recaustisizing Plant. 

 
With environmental norms getting stringent by the day, the company's capability in design, supply and setting up Recausticizing plant helps in reuse of spent black liquor generated during the cooking process by converting it into useful white liquor thereby curbing pollution. The company is well equipped with the technology of the future in India, namely the TCF & ECF bleaching system wherein the hazardous pollutant such as Chlorine is eliminated thereby bringing down tremendous pollution load on the environment besides improving properties of the end product. 

 
HDO MANUFACTURING FACILITY 

 
Business analysts and economic pundits around the globe acknowledge that the age ahead could well be Asia's and an ascendant India has imminent potential for global greatness. As an Indian Company, HDO is proud of the growing recognition of India's technological skills, its prowess in manufacturing and its capability in design. 

 
The dismantling of trade barriers and growing integration of the global economy has widened HDO business horizons, affording opportunities in manufacturing sector. 

 
The company is looking at making this manufacturing facility state-of-art and hence, the same is being refurbished completely in order to make it an independent operating facility which will cater to outsourced manufacturing requirements of global multinationals apart from Indian customers. The company is already in discussion with such global multinationals for shifting their manufacturing base at HDO Works in India. The Company is also contemplating on putting up second manufacturing base in India.
