Water Pinch Analysis / Mass Balance Engineering / Since 1999
Transforming linear industrial water consumption into closed-loop circular systems — eliminating freshwater waste, recovering valuable mineral byproducts, and optimizing process thermodynamics at industrial scale.
Freshwater intake savings via Water Pinch reuse cascades
Industrial salt purity grade from ZLD crystallization
Typical Capex payback on circular water investment
Industrial plants optimized across textiles, pharma & chemicals
Our systematic approach pairs Water Pinch analysis with rigorous thermodynamic mass balance modeling to minimize intake and convert liquid waste into revenue streams.

SPCB / MoEF ApprovalIdentifies direct cascades and matching water quality requirements across all plant operations to reuse process streams without costly intermediate treatment skids. Using graphical Pinch Point methodology, we determine the minimum thermodynamically achievable freshwater intake for your facility.
Four integrated consultancy disciplines that close the industrial water loop — from intake reduction through to salt byproduct valorization.
Graphical Pinch Point methodology maps all water sources and demands to identify maximum reuse opportunities without capital-intensive treatment skids. The benchmark approach for water-intensive industries.
Full ionic and mass balance simulation across every process stream — quantifying COD load, TDS concentration factors, scaling indices, and thermal energy inputs to size treatment systems accurately.
Typical Capex payback on water reuse and circular salt recovery investment.
Converts ZLD brine into saleable Na₂SO₄ or NaCl crystals of > 99% industrial purity — turning waste disposal costs into commercial revenue streams.
Complete DPR preparation, baseline environmental studies, and regulatory submissions to SPCB, MoEFCC for environmental clearance and ZLD compliance certification.
Textile dyeing and chemical manufacturing generate heavy sodium sulphate (Na₂SO₄) and sodium chloride (NaCl) brine streams. Rispri designs fractional crystallizers that isolate > 99% industrial purity salt — transforming hazardous disposal fees into a reusable raw material revenue stream.
The crystallization pathway depends on the ionic ratio, temperature, concentration, and downstream market specification. Our team performs detailed solubility diagram analysis before recommending a configuration.
