Nirma is a multi-sector FMCG brand, headquartered in Gujarat in western India. Nirma manufactures products ranging from cosmetics, soaps, detergents, salt, soda ash, lab products and injectables. It is not only the largest selling detergent brand in India but also world number one in soda ash capacity. Nirma has about 18,000+ employees and annual turnover of $1.1 billion (Rs. 7,000 Crores).
Gujarat is a water scarce region and Nirma wanted to treat seawater to augment water supply at their plant and reduce dependence on rain water. When Nirma expanded their facility to include a new soda ash plant and a new power plant, they had an increased requirement for fresh water, and selected Aquatech as the EPC contractor to design and supply the new 25 MLD Seawater RO system.
