automotive

The automotive industry is highly water intensive. Water is considered as the critical component for various manufacturing processes like car painting and coating, hosing, rinsing and washing. Therefore, smart & sustainable water management is of utmost importance for the automotive industry. At Kanak Enterprise, we take care of total water needs for the entire automotive manufacturing complex, on a turnkey basis. Our solutions for process water and effluent treatment/recycle ensure requisite quality of water. Our vehicle wash effluent treatment removes free-floating and emulsified oil, grease and suspended particles – organic and inorganic as well as colour and odor, making the recycled water fit for reuse. This reduces requirement of fresh water providing security against water shortages and minimises waste ensuring compliance with discharge norms.

CEMENT

Cement manufacturing requires water for cooling heavy equipment and exhaust gases, in emission control systems such as wet scrubbers, as well as for preparing slurry in wet process kilns. Discharged water may be altered in terms of temperature, acidity or suspended solids with potential impacts on the environment. Quarry dewatering may have an impact on the groundwater level too. Water is also consumed for domestic use at residential units and in welfare facilities within cement operations. Many Cement plants are located in water stressed areas hence efficient management of the quantities of water withdrawn, as well as the quality of water discharged is very important for this sector. At Kanak Enterprise, our specialist expertise in water and environment management coupled with thorough knowledge of our customers’ processes enables us to provide integrated solutions that totally address the cement industry’s requirements. Our holistic solutions for effluent management and zero discharge are customized after analyzing the need and they also focus on optimum reuse of water and thus help reduce dependencies on local water sources.

CHEMICAL

In a chemical plant, water is required at numerous points such as for heating or cooling, to produce steam, as a solvent and reaction medium, or simply for rinsing or cleaning. The water taken from the main source such as river, bore-well, etc is pre-treated to the desired process specification in a water treatment plant. However, the pressure to conserve water as a resource is constantly increasing. Furthermore, companies are increasingly interested in keeping even small amounts of toxic or non-degradable substances out of the environment. This is leading to a rethink. At Kanak Enterprise, our specialist expertise in water and environment management coupled with thorough knowledge of our customers’ processes enables us to provide integrated solutions that totally address the chemical industry’s requirements. Our holistic solutions for effluent management and zero discharge are customized after analyzing the need. Some of our esteemed customers have gone for an optimum reuse of water which has helped them reduce their dependencies on local water sources.

mining & minerals

Water is required in large quantities for the mining and mineral industry for mineral processing, dust suppressants, refining and other activities. Moreover, mining generates large quantity of contaminated waste water due to the mix of water and minerals. Hence, treating waste water & sustainable water management is essential for this industry to comply with environmental regulations. Kanak Enterprise provides a comprehensive range of technological solutions for process, water and waste water treatment for this industry. We indulge in studying your process and provide integrated solutions, on turnkey basis, that ensure trouble free, continuous peak performance at optimal cost, with single point responsibility.

power

Water and energy are two vital resources that are closely interlinked. Water is both a primary source of energy for hydropower production and a critical resource for power plants including coal, nuclear, solar and gas-fired facilities, for heat energy (steam production) and condenser cooling. Both energy and water are in short supply even as the demand for these resources is progressively increasing. The power sector is also among the most water-intensive industries (requiring around 80,000 litres water per MW) and water availability is thus critical to power generation. Therefore, maintaining quality and quantity of water throughout the various usage cycles in power plant is utmost important. Ion Exchange with over six decades of specialized expertise in water and waste management offers end-to-end solutions for the power industry that ensures minimizing environmental impacts by conserving water and reducing pollution through recycle and zero discharge.
