Inhibeo Water Solutions & Technologies Private Limited

The study of aquatic systems and their quantitative and qualitative deterioration help improve our understanding of the issues surrounding the chemical and ecological quality of water. In particular, it enables us to better understand the phenomena involved in algal proliferation in surface water.

Our company's water resource management research programs also address the natural water treatment that water undergoes as it passes through the soil and geological strata. The aim in this area is to design reliable, healthy and economic solutions, especially the development of artificial aquifer recharging techniques using wastewater, and underground storm water storage

The study of high-performance drinking water systems aims to improve the quality of water and decrease the environmental impact of its treatment.

One way of improving water quality is to reduce the organic matter content collected from the environment. Our aim is to work towards a threshold of 1 mg/liter of total organic carbon (TOC), that is, half the threshold set by European regulations. At the same time, we also aim keep the biodegradable organic fraction of the TOC below 0.01 mg/liter, as compliance with this threshold guarantees water maintains its quality throughout the distribution network.

Here, the aim is to make treatment performance more reliable, or in other words to improve the pollution treatment results, reduce energy consumption, make facilities more reliable, ensure long-term efficiency and, lastly, safeguard operation. With these aims in mind, the work performed by our company explores the possibilities provided by existing technology (physical-chemical, thermal, biological and membrane processes) while seeking to better understand the phenomena involved.

Our Water Research Center is developing tools and concepts to identify the factors leading to the formation and development of tastes and odors. Our work then focuses on improving the taste and odor characteristics of tap water by combining specific treatment methods to eliminate bad tastes and odors, or the underlying cause of their appearance.

For wastewater services, our research work aims to avoid human contamination, combat the deterioration in ecological balances and meet communities' fresh water needs.

The task of researchers at Inhibeo Environment is to rapidly improve existing wastewater processes and systems. This involves work on improving the effectiveness and the costs of biological treatment, developing global management solutions for wastewater systems, preserving the natural environment and fresh water resources and, lastly, managing sludge quantities, quality and processing.

The adaptation of our plants to the foreseeable tightening of regulatory requirements and the commitment to improving their performance are also targeted by our research work. We perform qualitative and quantitative assessments of the environmental and health impacts of our wastewater treatment activities, especially with regard to emerging pollutants and carbon footprints. At the same time, we are examining solutions to isolate and treat that part of the sludge that is difficult to recover.

The better we understand industrial waste, the easier it is to determine and apply the optimum processes for its treatment. Our work concentrates on characterizing the pollutant load using fast methods that can be applied online and on-site, and more thorough analytical methods used in particular to characterize effluent with low biodegradable potential.

Here, the aim is to make treatment performance more reliable, or in other words to improve the pollution treatment results, reduce energy consumption, make facilities more reliable, ensure long-term efficiency and, lastly, safeguard operation. With these aims in mind, the work performed by our company explores the possibilities provided by existing technology (physical-chemical, thermal, biological and membrane processes) while seeking to better understand the phenomena involved.

Capitalizing on our extensive treatment expertise, we always seek to recover certain components of industrial effluent within the context of global treatment processes. In this way, our company will contribute to the development of durable treatment processes that include separation, removal, neutralization and stabilization processes as well as the recovery of by-products from these treatment processes.
