A number of water treatment plants are being constructed for supply of potable water to the villages in developing countries. As the conventional water treatment methods are fairly costly in their construction and maintenance, an intensive search is going all over the world for the development of low cost water treatment methods with the use of new techniques.

Considering various problems in the design, construction and maintenance of the small capacity plants, our founder Dr.J.N.Kardile, developed appropriate solutions for small systems with surface water sources, as a part of his Ph.D. thesis (1978). These have come to be known as "Simplified Water Treatment Plants". These plants use the combination of the then new techniques like gravel bed flocculator, tube-settlers and dual media filters. A number of such plants were constructed in the decades 1980 to 1990. These plants are simple in construction, maintenance and operation and without any moving parts.

Due to these universally appealing qualities and accepted technologies, these plants have a huge potential for application not only in India but other developing countries too. For mass application of these plants, we have modernized and standardized the design and layouts from 1.0 mld (million liters per day) to 10.0 mld in five categories. The standardized plants make mass application a successful venture. These plants are constructed in R.C.C. structures. We have to our credit about 250-300 such plants in rural and semi-urban area

For less than 1.0 mld capacity plants, we have developed and standardized these in mild (carbon) steel. The plant dimensions are such that they can be transported in the standard containers. The site down time is less and the construction is error-free. The performance of all these plants is found to be satisfactory and the treated water quality is as per W.H.O. guidelines.

Packaged drinking water treatment plants are safe and reliable , specifically geared for the needs of small communities. Our packaged plants are developed for your exact needs taking into account the present and future regulations. They are based on tube settler technology and are highly cost effective.
