 "VA Tech Wabag wins Rs 220-cr water treatment project in Varanasi")
The Chennai-based VA Tech Wabag Ltd has bagged a Rs 220-crore order for design and construction of 140 MLD sewage water treatment plant at Dinapur in Varanasi. The contract is part of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) funded Ganga Action Plan project, which is being implemented by the Ganga Pollution Prevention Unit of UP Jal Nigam, Varanasi.
The scope includes design, engineering, supply, installation, testing and commissioning of the sewage treatment plant whereas the civil construction would be carried out by the joint-venture partner, said VA Tech Wabag in a press release.
Wabag will employ the activated sludge process with biogas based power generation for this project. The process would help the plant to generate power from bio-gas and would largely be self-sustainable using the green energy.
It would not only help the project to reduce operational costs but also reduce the carbon emissions qualifying for carbon credits, said the release.
S Natrajan, head - sales, Wabag, said, "We are proud to be part of this Ganga Action plan project at Dinapur, Varanasi and this order once again demonstrates our proven capabilities in execution and operation of power neutral sewage treatment plants."
