9DECEMBER 2025SED SUPPORTS 99% WATER RECOVERY AT COCA-COLA'S JAMMU FACILITYSpray Engineering Devices Ltd. (SED), one of India's leading innovative engineering companies, has successfully commissioned its patented Low-Temperature Evaporation (LTE) ZLD system powered by Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) technology at two Coca-Cola's greenfield bottling facilities in Jammu ­ NJ Food LLP, Samba, and Kandhari Beverages Pvt. Ltd., Kathua.The installations mark a major advancement in industrial wastewater recovery and reuse, enabling both plants to achieve complete Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) without relying on conventional Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs).The LTE system treats raw, complex wastewater directly at low temperatures (60°C­65°C) under vacuum, with recycling of heat within the process to maximize efficiency. With energy consumption as low as 13­15 kWh/m³ of feed, the system significantly lowers operational costs while producing clean, reusable condensate water of low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).Vivek Verma, Managing Director, SED, said, "This project demonstrates how advanced innovative solutions can deliver measurable environmental impact while strengthening business resilience. By partnering with Coca-Cola's bottling facilities in Jammu, we are showcasing how industries can achieve Zero Liquid Discharge in the most energy-efficient and economically viable manner."With its compact, modular design, the LTE system eliminates the need for bulky ETP, RO, boiler, and cooling-tower infrastructure ­ facilitating faster deployment, a smaller footprint, and reduced operational complexity. It also enables recovery of dissolved solids such as salts and sugars, advancing a "waste-to-wealth" model and reducing industrial freshwater dependency.RENEW PARTNERS GOOGLE TO BUILD 150MW SOLAR POWER PROJECT IN RAJASTHANReNew Energy Global has entered into a long term contract with Google to construct a 150 MW solar site in Rajasthan, India. The plant will become operational in 2026 and will have an approximate capacity of 425,000 MWh of clean electricity annually, which is sufficient to serve over 360,000 houses.The agreement will see Google purchase the energy credits of ReNew including carbon credits. This is a long term acquisition that is crucial to fund the project and enable Google to cut down its emissions.The transaction contributes to the overall commercial and industrial total projects of ReNew, which is now standing at 2.7 GW. This will ensure that ReNew is a major provider of clean corporate energy in India. The expansion indicates that numerous corporate entities in the world, particularly large U.S. technology companies, are keen on green energy to reduce their carbon imprint.Vaishali Nigam Sinha, Co-founder and Chairperson of Sustainability at ReNew, said the partnership reflects "the growing global confidence in India's clean energy ecosystem" and underlines how long-term agreements like this can support India's energy transition and help global firms meet ambitious sustainability goals."Vrushali Gaud, Google's Global Director of Climate Operations, added that the collaboration "brings new solar capacity onto the grid in a key region" and helps Google address challenging parts of its emissions footprint.This project contributes to India's broader goal of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030, showcasing the role of strategic private-sector partnerships in accelerating the country's clean energy growth.
