Chem Process Systems, Israel’s IDE Tech forge partnership to tap global water treatment market

Ahmedabad-based Chem Process Systems Private Limited, specialising in heat transfer, evaporation and crystallization solutions, has tied up with Israeli desalination major IDE Technologies.

The partnership will be strictly in offering combined technology solutions in the growing water treatment and desalination markets and no equity stakes have been bought by either of the two companies in each other.

Chem Process Systems would be able to bolster its zero liquid effluent discharge and desalination solutions with the tie-up.

“Chem Process offer an array of customised solutions for chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, oil refinery and power generation Industries,” said Chem Process Systems Pvt Ltd Managing Director Jayesh Parikh.

“With a widespread global representative network, our company has emerged as a market leader offering exceptional solutions in the technically challenging field.”

The partnership between the two companies will allow IDE’s wide array of low-to-medium salinity desalination and water treatment solutions to be complemented by Chem Process’ crystallizers to provide customers’ end-to-end zero liquid discharge (ZLD) solutions.

Also, Chem Process will be able to utilize IDE’s centrifugal compressors in their evaporators, which are already serving the water treatment industry for over five decades, expanding Chem Process’ portfolio for IWT and the small-to-medium size thermal seawater desalination market.

Due to IDE’s global and long-standing experience across industries, the partnership will allow Chem Process to extend its global presence while allowing IDE to offer its clients comprehensive IWT solutions.

Combining IDE’s membrane and thermal technologies with Chem Process’s wide portfolio of evaporators and crystallizers, a joint solution is expected to address the full water treatment needs of all industrial clients that require MLD treatment or up to zero liquid discharge water treatment in a competitive and creative manner, said Parikh.

“This highly strategic partnership will solidify IDE’s already strong presence in India, allow the company to continue to actively expand its activities in the Indian market, and nurture our strong and fruitful collaborations with local businesses, partners and communities,” said IDE VP (sales & marketing) Michael P Tramer.

“We’re keen on addressing the growing water challenges in India, and are committed to enabling the Indian industries to comply with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, while enabling the local governments to meet their water demand in full”, Tramer said.

The partnership is also aimed at bringing customised process solutions in the Indian and global market. Chem Process Systems also had a growing presence in the Indian food processing, beverages & dairy as well as environmental protection & water treatment markets.

“We have always led all of our business activities with a partnership-first approach, to ensure our best-of-breed technology is represented by the flexible business models,” IDE India Sales Director Nayan Shah said.

“Our core competency is designing, constructing and operating large-scale water treatment plants that are built to last. Thanks to our exciting new partnership with Chem Process, we now look forward to facilitate and realize even more successful projects in India, and continue our journey of bringing safe, clean water wherever needed”, Shah added.
