Gayan on EPC (Environment Business)

These days I am associated with Hindustan Dorr-Oliver, an IVRCL Group Company, Hindustan Dorr-Oliver also known as HDO, website is www.HDO.in . HDO is an EPC company having excellent expertise in Mineral, Water, Fertilizer-Chemicals and Pulp-Paper

HDO Business

In non technical and lay man language – HDO constructs plants, A full plant construction work is divided in to various packages (process) which is not actually done by plant owner like “Reliance refinery, TATA steel, JINDAL Steel” etc. Plant owner ask for bid from technical company, based on lowest quotation and technical expertise’s work allotted to winners.

Today by this post I am trying to give some GAYAN on HDO water management skill and in brief what kind of activities HDO does and what that activity is.

Activities HDO do (Water/Environment Management)

RWTP (Raw water treatment Plant)

RODM (Reserve Osmosis Demineralization Plant)

ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant)

STP (Sewage treatment plant)

FTP (Fume Treatment Plant)

In Brief what this activity means

RWTP (Raw water treatment Plant) – RWTP is use to refine Row water (natural Water from river) and make is suitable for Industrial use. This activity is needed since raw water consist dust which need to remove before using in plant. If we will directly use, it will damage plants. You can find this plant with all municipal corporations since they use this to refine river water to make it suitable for drinking purposes.

RODM (Reserve Osmosis Demineralization Plant) – This plant is mainly used to further refine output of RWTP or Drinking water. Recall all drinking water available in the market is known as mineral water, it means mineral/drinking water contains some kind of minerals which is not dangerous for human consumption but dangerous for some specific industrial consumption. Hence those industry require de-mineral water, this RODM "as name suggest" process raw water and demineralized it to make it suitable for industrial consumption.

ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant) – we all know all industry produce Dirty water which is not good for environment hence Gov make it compulsory for every plant to have this process to free those Industrial water from harmful chemical and make it appropriate for environment. This ETP process is mainly use to refine those affected industrial water and make it suitable for environment. Please note output of ETP is just to make this right for environment; it doesn’t mean it is suitable for drinking purposes.

STP (Sewage treatment plant) – STP do the same activity as explain for ETP but for municipal water (gutter toilet etc.)

FTP (Fume Treatment Plant) – This plant is use to refine fumes; if you have seen any boiler anywhere you can easily understand this. Just imagine one boiler as mentioned below.

Every boiler generate fume (Vapor, gas, or smoke, especially if irritating, harmful, or strong.) which is dangerous for environment since those fume contain dust chemical etc. hence one process is needed to remove those chemicals. The process used to remove those harmful chemicals are called FTP (Fume Treatment Plant)

By this post I was just trying to give some information about Water segment of EPC business.

For mineral - Just wait for some time, EPC mineral process will follow shortly
