Ozone Generator in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh serves India's most industrially diverse port city — where Asia's largest pharmaceutical SEZ, one of India's premier integrated steel plants, a major petroleum refinery and a rapidly expanding IT sector create simultaneous demand for ozone technology across pharmaceutical purified water, industrial ETP compliance, seafood export water and environmental restoration of the Gosthani and Sarada rivers. Visakhapatnam (Vizag) — Andhra Pradesh's commercial capital on the Bay of Bengal — is a priority industrial investment destination under AP government's industrial policy, with APPCB (Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board) maintaining strict consent management for the city's diverse industrial base. Ozone India Technology — India's CE-certified, ISO 9001:2015 manufacturer of industrial ozone generators — supplies factory-direct ozone systems to Visakhapatnam.

Water and Industrial Challenges in Visakhapatnam
Jawaharlal Nehru Pharma City (JNPC) at Parawada, 15 km from Visakhapatnam city centre, is Asia's largest integrated pharmaceutical manufacturing hub — spanning 2,400 acres and housing 46 formulation units and 26 API manufacturers including Aurobindo Pharma (subsidiary operations), Divi's Laboratories (nearby Hyderabad linkage) and smaller API producers. JNPC operates a Common ETP and a Common STP for its tenant units, but pharmaceutical API effluent presents the most challenging treatment requirement — residual active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in effluent at 0.1 to 10 mg/L that biological SBR cannot reduce to the APPCB consent condition of "not detectable." Ozone AOP is the primary technology for pharmaceutical micropollutant destruction.
Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL — Visakhapatnam Steel Plant) — India's largest coastal integrated steel plant — processes 7.3 million tonnes of crude steel annually. RINL's industrial water treatment covers blast furnace cooling, coke oven gas scrubbing, rolling mill descaling and blast furnace slag granulation — all generating process water streams with high temperatures, suspended solids, phenolic compounds and cyanide. APPCB consent conditions for RINL require effluent meeting CPCB General Standards including phenol below 1 mg/L, cyanide below 0.2 mg/L and BOD below 30 mg/L.
HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd) Visakhapatnam Refinery — processing 8.33 MMTPA crude — generates petrochemical effluent containing oil, phenol, sulfides, ammonia and BTEX compounds. APPCB environmental consent requires CEQMS monitoring and quarterly lab analysis.
Visakhapatnam Port Trust (VPT) handles 80 million tonnes of cargo annually. Port-related industrial activities — ship repair at Hindustan Shipyard, fertilizer imports at Gangavaram Port — contribute to bay water quality challenges. The Gosthani River, flowing north of Vizag, receives agricultural and minor industrial runoff from Bheemunipatnam tehsil.
How Ozone Technology Addresses Visakhapatnam's Challenges
For JNPC pharmaceutical effluent, ozone-AOP (ozone + UV at 15 to 25 mg/L applied dose) destroys API residuals including fluoroquinolone antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin), beta-lactams (amoxicillin) and NSAIDs (diclofenac, ibuprofen) at 85 to 99 percent removal — reducing pharmaceutical micropollutant concentrations to below APPCB detection limits. Ozone simultaneously reduces COD by 60 to 80 percent, addressing both micropollutant and bulk organic compliance in a single treatment step.
For RINL steel plant, ozone at 10 to 15 mg/L destroys coke oven-derived phenol and cyanide in rolling mill and blast furnace effluent — achieving APPCB compliance for these critical parameters. Ozone simultaneously oxidises iron and manganese that would otherwise foul RO membranes used in water recycling loops.
For pharma purified water at JNPC's tenant units, ozone at 0.05 to 0.2 mg/L in the water loop achieves WHO GMP Schedule M compliance continuously, eliminating daily chemical sanitisation and reducing wastewater generation from purge cycles.

Key Applications in Visakhapatnam
Pharmaceutical SEZ ETP — JNPC Parawada
JNPC's common ETP and individual unit ETPs require ozone-AOP for API micropollutant destruction. Ozone India Technology supplies 50 to 200 g/hr ozone-UV AOP systems for JNPC-scale pharma ETP. APPCB consent-aligned documentation and OCEMS-compatible data logging.
Steel Plant Industrial ETP — RINL Visakhapatnam
RINL's blast furnace and coke oven effluent streams require phenol and cyanide treatment. Ozone India Technology supplies 100 to 350 g/hr industrial ozone generators for RINL's ETP tertiary polishing. APPCB-compliant phenol and cyanide removal documentation.
Petroleum Refinery ETP — HPCL Vizag
HPCL Vizag refinery petrochemical effluent requires phenol, BTEX and ammonia treatment. Ozone-AOP at 20 to 30 mg/L achieves APPCB-compliant discharge from refinery API separator and biological treatment output.
Seafood Export — Vizag Fishing Harbour
Visakhapatnam's second-largest fish landing station (after Chennai) processes tuna and mixed fish for export. MPEDA-compliant process water using ozone at 0.5 to 1.5 mg/L achieves EU Regulation 853/2004 food safety standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What APPCB standards apply to JNPC pharmaceutical effluent?
JNPC units operate under individual APPCB consent conditions that include "not detectable" for specific APIs (by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis), BOD below 30 mg/L, COD below 250 mg/L and total dissolved solids below 2,100 mg/L for inland water body discharge. Ozone-AOP at 15 to 25 mg/L achieves "not detectable" API status for most fluoroquinolone, beta-lactam and NSAID categories.
Can ozone handle RINL Visakhapatnam's cyanide in blast furnace effluent?
Yes. Ozone at 5 to 8 mg/L destroys free cyanide (CN⁻) to cyanate (CNO⁻) and further to harmless nitrogen and carbonate at alkaline pH 8 to 9. At 10 mg/L ozone dose, total cyanide below 0.2 mg/L (APPCB standard) is consistently achieved from blast furnace effluent containing cyanide up to 20 mg/L.
Does Ozone India Technology supply to HPCL and RINL government units?
Yes. We supply to both public sector undertakings and private sector companies. For PSU procurement, we provide complete documentation for GeM (Government e-Marketplace) quotations or departmental tender submissions including CE certification, ISO 9001, MSME registration certificate and factory inspection reports.
What is the delivery time from Ghaziabad to Visakhapatnam?
36 to 48 hours by road freight (NH-65/NH-16 route via Hyderabad). For urgent APPCB compliance timelines, we can arrange air freight of equipment components to Visakhapatnam Airport (VTZ) with next-day delivery.
