14 May, New Delhi: Schneider Electric, a leader in the digital transformation of energy management and nextgen
automation, supports the Namami Gange initiative through the sustainable
automation of India’s Largest Single Stage Wastewater Treatment Plant in
Delhi. In line with the Delhi Jal Board Yamuna Action Plan, SUEZ is
constructing this plant, with Schneider Electric as the primary Energy
management and NextGen automation solution provider.
With a capacity to sustainably treat 564
million liters per day of sewage, this cutting-edge plant is poised to meet
the needs of the roughly 30 million people residing in the national capital.
The plant is being set up to enhance water quality and reduce pollution in the
river. It is developed to achieve self-sufficiency and sustainability by
producing around 50% of its energy needs through biogas.
Underlining Schneider Electric’s
commitment in the Water and Wastewater Treatment, Mr Deepak Sharma, Zone President-
Greater India and MD & CEO, Schneider Electric India said,
“Recognizing the critical importance of sustainable water management in India
amidst rising water demands, Schneider Electric remains dedicated towards
delivering innovative digital solutions for water and wastewater management.
Our partnership with SUEZ and Delhi Jal Board to automate India's largest
Single Stage Wastewater Treatment Plant underscores our commitment to
nation-building and sustainable water management. We are proud to play a key
role in this transformative project, leveraging our automation solutions to
enhance plant efficiency and reliability, while ensuring self-sustainability in
its energy requirements.”
Emphasizing the need to embrace
automation for sustainably treating wastewater, Mr Arvind Kakru, Vice President- Industrial Automation, Greater India
Zone, Schneider Electric said, “We at Schneider Electric are focused on
propelling sustainability in India through accelerated use of digital
technologies and sustainable solutions. It is a privilege for us to be a part
of the Namami Gange project by automating the country’s largest wastewater
treatment plant. Our state-of-the-art EcoStruxure portfolio stands as the
foremost universal automation and digitalization solution, driving efficiency,
sustainability, and operational reliability.”
The plant has been engineered to meet the
most rigorous water discharge quality standards, harnessing Schneider
Electric’s advanced universal automation technology. Operating as a fully
automated facility, it boasts complete control driven by Schneider Electric’s
IoT-enabled EcoStruxure platform, offering a secure, dependable, efficient, and
sustainable approach to wastewater treatment. This encompasses the deployment of
EcoStruxure Process Expert Automation platform, Altivar Process Drives, Altivar
Soft Starters, Micom relays, Transformers, and MV & LV solutions.
Through this collaboration with SUEZ,
Schneider Electric has delivered a range of advanced digital solutions ensuring
seamless integration of electrical and automation solutions within the plant,
thus enhancing operational efficiency, reliability, and uptime while also
providing long-term service support. SUEZ leads the project with its advanced
technologies that are adapted to local conditions, meet health standards, and
protect water resources and biodiversity. Apart from treating water, the plants
designed by SUEZ also allow, where appropriate, the reuse of wastewater, keeping
pace with the environment and public health protocols.
This project holds immense significance
in addressing the pressing need for clean water in the region. Moreover, the
Water and Wastewater industry is a significant contributor to global warming,
demanding substantial energy for water treatment and distribution while
generating direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Schneider Electric's solutions are
designed to empower our customers by enhancing energy efficiency, facilitating
the transition to sustainable energy, and ultimately decarbonizing the infrastructure.
This approach underscores Schneider Electric's commitment to driving
sustainable practices and environmental responsibility, ensuring a positive
impact on communities and the planet as a whole. We aim to work towards
achieving net-zero carbon emissions.
