We are proud to announce that Aquatech has been honored with the 2023 Green Innovation Award in the mid-size company category at the 7th Annual Industrial Green Chemistry and Engineering World (IGCW) Convention, held on November 6 in Mumbai, India.
The Green Innovation Award acknowledges contributions to accelerating industrial sustainability and profitability across India. We received this award in recognition of our achievement in developing and effectively implementing our cutting-edge Advanced Vacuum Membrane Distillation (AVMD™) technology at a customer’s facility.
The award was presented by Shri. Susanta Kumar Purohit, Joint Secretary Department of Chemicals and Petrochemicals, Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizer, the Government of India, and Dr. John C. Warner, President & CEO of The Technology Greenhouse, during the convention's opening. Recognizing our technological advancements by a panel of 31 jurors, each with two to three decades of industry and scientific expertise, was a tremendous honor.
Notable past award winners have included key industry players such as Tata Chemicals, Reliance Technology Group, Orchid Pharma, and Praj.
A special appreciation for the team who made receiving this IGCW Award possible through their contribution to innovation and developing new processes and product technologies.
IGCW is the first and largest Industrial convention focusing on expanding, implementing and commercializing green chemistry and engineering-based technologies and products in the chemical industry.
IGCW focuses on the four most chemistry-intensive sectors: Pharmaceuticals (including Pharmaceuticals & intermediates), Agrochemicals, Dyes & Pigments, and Specialty Fine and Performance Chemicals.
IGCW Awards acknowledges the commitment demonstrated by individuals & organizations to develop and commercialize green and sustainable chemistry-based innovations that make a positive difference to the quality of human health and the environment.
In our recent article in Chemical Engineering World, we discuss how our AVMD technology works at relatively low temperatures, leading to lower energy demand and separates vapors from brine through hydrophobic membranes.
