This technology dominant breakthrough order in the CIS region, especially in the Russian Federation also marks Wabag's largest order in the Oil & Gas sector.

The facility will be designed to recycle & re-use the waste water released from the petrochemical unit, substituting about 25% of the raw water intake requirement. The deployment of ZLD and recycle and re-use makes the facility environmentally friendly and meets stringent environmental regulations, the company said.
