With global warming and rising pollutions, the world is on the verge of facing natural calamities like water scarcity if effective and appropriate measures are not adopted soon enough. According to Markets and Markets' Research report, the water and wastewater treatment industry is expected to reach $97.18 Billion by 2022, due to the increasing population, expanding manufacturing sector, and rising regulatory requirements. With the government focusing on potable water, recycled water, groundwater recharge and tapped water for 51 million rural households (Jal Jeevan mission) by 2024, there is a huge potential of growth in this segment. Envisaging this opportunity long before, Aztek was established in 1997 to provide solutions backed by reliable after-sale service and O&M services with leading establishments. A professionally managed company, Aztek is lead by a team of engineers and qualified personals with 25 yrs of experience in the field of water and wastewater treatment.

The Company has been associated with many leading Water Treatment companies in India like Ion Exchange India, Grindwell Norton & GE Water in various capacities. Aztek has represented Alfa Water UV systems for disinfection of water and also has successfully handled many projects with various Technologies like DAF, RBC, ASP, MBBR and MBR. "With the population growth in the country, recycle and recharge of the water table will be the need of the hour which in turn will lead to growth in this segment. The Govt will bring more stringent discharge norms for treated wastewater for reuse, which will create a lot of scope for newer technologies in wastewater with long term sustainable solutions. To

capitalize the potential our goal is to provide complete solution required for Water management from small Package STP's to Membrane-based treatment plants to provide high-quality reusable water. We are building a strong Service base to provide O&M services, overhauling/ up-gradation of existing plants & supplying chemicals to optimize the Plant efficiency," says Jaideep Ghosh, Director, Aztek.

Aztek is always looking and identifying newer technologies for cost-effective plants and machinery with low operating cost and offers a total solution for water management for the end-user. Wastewater reuse and technology have come a long way from large aeration tanks system which required a huge footprint area to newer technologies like MBR ­ Membrane bioreactor (Ultra Filtration based technology) which reduces footprint area and produce high-quality water. Aztek promotes such technologies to get better quality output water, energy-efficient equipment, low footprint area and better Automation for smooth operation. "Our company is always looking and identifying newer technologies for cost-effective plant and machinery and with a low operating cost. We recommend high-quality Diffuser system, VFD driven Air Blowers, high-efficiency motors & pumps to optimize energy requirement along with acoustic enclosures for noise levels exceeding norms," quotes Ashu Tandon, Director, Aztek.
