Top 10 Water treatment plant manufacturers in Pune

Manyug Enterprises is a water treatment plant manufacturers in Pune. We are reliable suppliers, exporters, traders and repairing services in Pune, serving industrial, commercial, and residential clients across Maharashtra. We design and build water treatment plants for a range of applications, including industrial process water, effluent treatment, sewage treatment, and high purity water systems. Capacity is taken from the daily volume and the hours the plant will run, then checked against a raw-water report for every source on the site. Filtration, softening, reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration and demineralisation are selected from that report. Effluent and sewage plants are a separate design.

Every plant we build is engineered around the customer's raw water quality, required capacity, and end use requirements, since there is no one size fits all system. Whether you need a compact RO plant for a small facility or a larger effluent treatment setup for an industrial unit, our team studies your water analysis report and application before recommending a configuration.

What is a water treatment plant?

A water treatment plant changes raw water into water that meets a use specification. The use may be drinking, a phosphate or paint bath, boiler feed, cooling-tower make-up, or a rinse. The unit operations remove a named contaminant. They do not "purify" in the abstract.

Suspended solids and turbidity are removed by coagulation, if needed, and by a pressure sand or multimedia filter. Dissolved iron is oxidised to ferric hydroxide and filtered. Hardness, which is calcium and magnesium, is exchanged for sodium on a cation resin if scale, not salt, is the limit. Dissolved salts and silica pass a softener and a carbon filter unchanged. They are rejected by a polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, or exchanged on a demineralisation train if conductivity must go lower still.

A sewage plant is a biological plant for domestic waste. A typical inlet BOD is 200–350 mg/L. An effluent plant is a chemical and biological plant for process wastewater, often 500–10,000 mg/L COD depending on the industry. Manyug builds those too. They are not sized from a borewell TDS report, and they are not sold as a rinse or drinking plant.

Working process of water treatment plant

  • Raw-water holding tank: Raw water enters a holding tank to provide a steady flow to the treatment system and prevent fluctuations caused by pump surges.
  • Iron oxidation: When iron levels exceed approximately 0.3 mg/L, an oxidant such as sodium hypochlorite may be dosed, followed by a contact time of around 20 minutes to oxidise ferrous iron.
  • Multimedia filtration: Oxidised iron particles and suspended solids are removed using a multimedia filter operating at approximately 10–15 m/h, targeting outlet turbidity below 1 NTU.
  • Carbon filtration: Activated carbon removes residual chlorine and helps protect polyamide RO membranes from chlorine damage.
  • Cartridge filter and antiscalant dosing: A 5 µm cartridge filter provides the final particulate barrier before RO. Antiscalant is dosed into the RO feed line according to the scaling assessment.
  • High-pressure pump: The high-pressure pump raises the feed pressure, typically to 8–15 bar for brackish-water RO, depending on feed-water quality and system design.
  • RO membranes: Brackish-water 8040 membrane elements, with an active membrane area of approximately 37–41 m² each, operate at a typical flux of 18–25 L/m²·h, depending on feed quality and design conditions.
  • Recovery: Recovery for hard borewell water may be designed around 60–75%, subject to water analysis, scaling calculations, membrane limits and operating conditions.
  • Permeate storage: Treated RO permeate is collected in a suitable storage tank. SS 316 may be selected where required by water quality, hygiene and application specifications.
  • Concentrate handling: RO concentrate, typically around 25–40% of feed at 60–75% recovery, is directed to an appropriate disposal or effluent treatment system according to applicable requirements.
  • Disinfection for drinking-water applications: UV disinfection at a validated dose, commonly around 40 mJ/cm², or controlled chlorination may be used after permeate storage or at the distribution stage, as appropriate to the system design.
  • Design flow: Design flow is calculated by dividing the required daily treated-water volume by the available operating hours. For example, a 100 KLD plant operating for 20 hours per day requires a permeate production rate of 5 m³/h.
  • Peak factor: A peak factor of approximately 1.3–1.5 may be applied to size feed pumps and pretreatment filters where demand fluctuations justify it. RO membrane area is calculated separately using the required permeate flow and design flux.

Steps of water treatment plant

  • Water analysis: Analyse MIDC water and each borewell separately. Required ions are TDS, calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, iron, manganese, silica, turbidity, pH and chloride.
  • Duty split: Split duties. A rinse at under 150 mg/L TDS needs RO. A toilet does not. Rinse, bath and tower make-up may need RO, while toilets stay on filtered water.
  • Flow calculation: Convert daily volume to hourly flow. 100 KLD at 20 hours is 5 m³/h. Apply the 1.3–1.5 peak factor to pumps and filters only, not to membrane area.
  • Iron check: Above 0.3 mg/L, oxidise and filter before any membrane or resin.
  • Recovery limit: Set recovery from silica and hardness, using the worse silica number. At 28 mg/L silica, 65% recovery is a normal cap. 80% is used only if the projection software accepts the Langelier index at the concentrate end.
  • Array selection: A 2:1 arrangement of six-element vessels keeps the tail-element velocity and cross-flow high enough to limit scaling.
  • Fabrication: Permeate pipework in SS 316. High-chloride concentrate is not left in SS 304.
  • Commissioning: Commission filters and carbon first. Load elements only when free chlorine is undetectable and SDI₁₅ is under 3.
  • Monitoring and cleaning: Record normalised permeate flow, salt passage and differential pressure. Clean at a 15% rise in normalised ΔP, typically every 8–12 weeks on this borewater.

Types of water treatment plant

  • Clarification and filtration: For turbidity above 5 NTU. Multimedia filters use anthracite over sand, with a bed depth of 800–1,000 mm and backwash rates of 25–35 m/h for 10–15 minutes. The target outlet turbidity is below 1 NTU. Activated carbon is used to remove chlorine, colour and odour.
  • Iron removal: Uses oxidation followed by filtration. Feeding unoxidised water to an iron filter can cause iron breakthrough when the catalytic coating is exhausted.
  • Softening: Uses strong-acid cation resin in sodium form. Capacity depends on the hardness load, and regeneration typically requires 120–160 g of salt per litre of resin. Softening does not reduce TDS and may slightly increase it because sodium replaces calcium and magnesium.
  • Reverse osmosis (RO): Used to reduce TDS and silica. New membrane elements typically provide 97–99.5% sodium chloride rejection. A field rejection of around 90% may indicate fouling, seal leakage or other operating issues. Permeate from a feed of 800–1,500 mg/L TDS is typically around 30–120 mg/L, depending on operating conditions.
  • Ultrafiltration (UF): Uses a hollow-fibre membrane barrier with a pore size of approximately 0.01–0.1 µm to remove suspended solids and microorganisms. It does not remove dissolved salts. UF is used before RO when sand filtration cannot achieve the required SDI, or in water-reuse applications.
  • Demineralisation and electrodeionisation (EDI): Uses cation, anion and mixed-bed resin systems, or RO followed by EDI, when low conductivity is required. Mixed-bed product water is often specified below 1 µS/cm. These systems are commonly used for boiler make-up and pharmaceutical utilities rather than cooling-tower applications.

Osmotic pressure is about 0.7 bar per 1,000 mg/L TDS. A 1,500 mg/L feed needs on the order of 10 bar before flux is useful, which is why the pump is specified at up to 15 bar with a variable-speed drive. Salt passage also rises as the element warms, so a guarantee written at 25 °C will not match a permeate sample taken at 35 °C unless it is temperature-corrected.

Applications of water treatment plant

  • Paint shops (Chakan and Talegaon): Rinse TDS under 150 mg/L and silica under 5 mg/L stop panel spotting.
  • Cooling towers: RO make-up can lift cycles from about 3 to 6 and cut blowdown by about half, provided basin silica stays inside the chemical supplier's limit.
  • Machine shops (Bhosari and Pimpri-Chinchwad): Rinse loops after iron removal, with RO only on the rinse.
  • Boiler make-up: Softened water below about 10 bar and demineralised water above that.
  • Dairy process water: Wash water is sent to an effluent plant because that stream can enter at BOD 800–2,000 mg/L.
  • Pharma utility loops: Sanitisable RO and conductivity below 1.3 µS/cm.
  • Drinking points: Held to IS 10500 and piped separately from industrial reject.

Case studies

Wash water for a tablet unit, Chakan

Problem. Equipment washing was on borewell water that a sand filter could not hold to the wash specification. Feed conductivity was 850 µS/cm, TDS 620 mg/L, hardness 480 mg/L as CaCO₃, and the plate count was 220 CFU/mL.

Solution. A 25 KLD plant, 1.6 m³/h at 16 hours, on the wash loop only. Multi-grade filter, ultrafiltration, two-pass reverse osmosis and UV on the permeate tank.

Result. Outlet conductivity was 2.1 µS/cm. That is wash water, not pharmacopoeial purified water.
