Zero-liquid discharge project puts Archroma in line for award

24/03/2014
Textile chemicals manufacturer Archroma has been short-listed for the Corporate Water Stewardship Award at the 2014 Global Water Summit, which will take place in Paris from April 7-8.

Archroma won recognition from the event organisers for its sustainable effluent treatment facility, based on zero liquid discharge, at the company’s dyes and chemicals production plant in Jamshoro, Pakistan.

With an investment of around $3.5 million, the facility will support the recovery of 80% of water used in production at the site and allow effluent treatment based on zero-liquid discharge.

At the inauguration of the treatment plant on December 10, 2013, Archroma chief executive, Alexander Wessels, said: “We take water scarcity very seriously and therefore are constantly exploring new and environmentally compatible solutions. As a chemical company committed to innovation and performance, together with sustainability, Archroma puts a lot of time into developing chemical solutions that will help our customers use less water.”
