  3. OUR SOLUTION Community Based Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Treatment Plants

  4. TECHNOLOGY Reverse Osmosis + UV radiation Treatment Treatment Process Multi Grade Sand Filter Activated Charcoal Filter Micron Filter Pump Raw Water Reject Water High Pressure Pump Reverse Osmosis Module Purified Water UV Radiation

  5. PLANT LAYOUT

  6. BUSINESS MODEL • A 500 LPH Capacity plant caters to a community of 500-700 households. Plant capacity is arrived at based on the cluster size. • The plant takes raw water and electricity connection with the help of local body – AMC • Water is priced at Rs.0.30 per liter (Ex plant) • OPEX mainly covers Operator’s salary, power bill, consumables and plant maintenance • CAPEX is arranged by EPGL-EFL from/through their own sources through philanthropy or contributed by us on our own. • Exclusive tie-up with communities and AMC for maximum market penetration • Technical Support is provided by the promoters • Funding support if taken from philanthropists, advertisements, etc. will be highlighted at the kiosks and in all our communications with the beneficiaries.

  7. PROMOTERS: EPGL • EPGL innovated and established the commercial viability of the model in 1999. • EPGL is working in Gujarat, Rajasthan, Delhi and Karnataka along with large organizations such as ICICI, MICA, IIMA, ISRO etc. • EPGL pilots have received funding from Acumen Fund, International Water Management Institute (IWMI), Global Business Fund and Eureka Forbes EPGL’s Growth since 1999
