WOG Tech Opens R&D for Affordable Wastewater Recycling

New Delhi, May 11 (PTI) Industrial wastewater recycling solutions provider WOG Technologies on Monday said it has opened a research and development facility with an aim to make advanced sustainability technologies affordable for small enterprises and help in energy efficiency.

The 7,000-sq ft Research, Development & Technology Centre (RD&TC) in Gurugram will work on breakthrough innovations in wastewater recycling, acid recovery, waste-to-energy and AI-driven water intelligence; built in India, designed for the world, WOG Technologies said in a statement.

According to the company, India currently treats only around 37 per cent of its wastewater, even as industries face mounting pressure to meet zero liquid discharge mandates and stricter environmental compliance requirements.

"The RD&TC has been built to bridge that gap, turning research into deployable, commercially viable solutions for both industrial and municipal users," it said.

The Centre is designed to compress the journey from laboratory discovery to industrial deployment, with a clear focus on making advanced sustainability technologies affordable and accessible to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have historically been priced out of cutting-edge solutions, it said.

The centre became operational on the National Technology Day, and is set to demonstrate the generation of made-in-India environmental technologies with a portfolio of proprietary innovations, including the WOG's patented high-efficiency UASB reactor, the company said.


"Innovation in water management, wastewater recycling, renewable technologies and climate-resilient infrastructure will be central to our urban transformation.

"Initiatives like this will accelerate the country's transition towards cleaner, smarter and more resource-efficient cities," V K Chaurasia, Joint Advisor (PHEE), Central Public Health & Environmental Engineering Organisation (CPHEEO), Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, said while inaugurating the centre.

Sunil Rajan, Chief Executive Officer, WOG Technologies Limited, said: "The RD&TC is the embodiment of our long-term commitment to engineer solutions for the most pressing water, wastewater and energy challenges of our time."

The company said it is also partnering with leading IITs and global research institutions to deepen its innovation pipeline and accelerate the translation of research into deployable technology.

Part of the WOG Group, WOG Technologies Limited operates globally with subsidiaries including in Singapore. Its services include water treatment, oil separation, wastewater recycling and biogas generation.

As of May 2026, WOG Technologies has executed 185 projects across nine states and three Union Territories in India, as well as 19 countries globally.
