A notable event took place at the Radisson Blue Water Garden in Dhaka, signaling a turning point for Bangladesh’s water solutions. Water Technology BD Limited (WTBL) has been officially Authorized as the Bangladeshi distributor for DuPont Water Solution’s Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultrafiltration (UF), and Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technologies.
During the technical session, experts from DuPont Water Solutions and the CEO of WTB group presented the latest advancements in water and wastewater reuse & and recycling technologies, including FilmTecTM Reverse Osmosis (RO) Membranes, Memcor® MBR and IntergraTecTM ultrafiltration (UF). They emphasized the efficiency, durability, reliability, and sustainable approach to water treatment and desalination plants.
Mr. Chrys Fernandes, Business Head- India Subcontinent at DuPont Water Solutions, addressed the global business status of DuPont Water Solution and introduced the DuPont product portfolio. Fernandes stated that the company is committed to providing the best solutions on the market, supported by a team of specialists. The seminar provided participants with an in-depth comprehension of the available technologies, their applications, and the significance of sustainable water treatment solutions in the modern world.
During the seminar, Muhammad Enamul Habib, CEO and Managing Director of Water Technology BD Ltd. who also inaugurated the program, shared his organization’s experiences and success stories. He quoted that they have completed over 570 projects that have saved the environment from pollution by treating 60,000 MT of wastewater per day. The company has completed 90% of wastewater treatment plants in the Edible Oil Refinery and Sugar Refinery sector, and they have solved wastewater problems in the Textiles, Pharmaceuticals, Hospital, Economic Zone, and Food and Beverages Industries for the last 14 years.
During this technical presentation, Mr. Halim Sutanto, Global Market Segment Leader for Industrial Utility Water at DuPont Water Solutions, highlighted the function, advantages, and usages of FilmTecTM RO membranes. He also compared these membranes to currently existing RO membranes and introduced their FilmTecTM product. In addition to that, he elaborated on how the FilmTecTM membrane might be able to alleviate the present water crisis in Bangladesh, particularly in the Bangabandhu Seikh Mujib Shilpa Nagar region. He noted that they are in contact with the Authority of BSMSN and IWM to work together to find a sustainable solution to the issue that they are now facing over the desalination plant.
Mr. Smit Nimbarte, Commercial Development Manager at DuPont Water Solutions, has also introduced the inge® Ultrafilter membrane and the Memcor® MBR membrane. To comply with national regulations in a sustainable manner, these membranes and Prime RO can implement Zero Liquide Discharge (ZLD) in every dischargeable industry, he explained. According to Nimbarte, Ultrafiltration technology provides reliable removal of microorganisms, viruses, and pathogens providing consistent high-quality filtrate, maximum stability, minimal fiber breakage, extended service life, high reliability, and performance with low operating costs.
Nimbarte added that DuPont’s MBR systems combine the benefits of biological treatment and membrane filtration to separate liquids and particulates in a fully automated manner. This technology is superior to conventional techniques because it eliminates the need for secondary clarification, media, and charcoal filtration. Benefits of DuPont’s MBR technology include saving space on locations with limited space, enhancing effluent quality, permitting plant expansions within the same footprint, and having the lowest energy consumption for membrane air scouring.
He also provided examples of water treatment plants with a capacity greater than 50 MLD (million litres per day) that employ MBR technology. He emphasized how their technology has been utilized in numerous large-scale initiatives to provide potable water of high quality and safety. These initiatives, according to Nimbarte, demonstrate the efficacy and dependability of their membrane technologies in treating large volumes of water, making them a viable option for municipalities and industries.
The grant program was adorned by technical, management, and directorate personnel from various organizations, including the dealers, water experts, Department of Environment (DoE), Bangladesh Economic Zone Authority (BEZA). The dealers and experts shared their problems and found the specific solution which they have been facing for the last couple of years.
WTB has committed to promoting sustainable solutions for water and wastewater treatment in Bangladesh at the conclusion of the seminar, and the seminar will be a step toward attaining this objective. They are prepared to assist organizations in Bangladesh in designing and implementing sustainable water treatment solutions to enable industries to meet their reuse and recycling objectives.
At the end of the event, Dupont Water Solutions launched its New MemPulse™ Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) Systems-Purifying wastewater to produce the highest effluent water quality.
