WOG Technologies on Monday inaugurated a 7,000 sq ft Research, Development & Technology Centre (RD&TC) in Gurugram aimed at developing and commercialising advanced water, wastewater and renewable energy technologies for industrial and municipal applications.

The facility, located in Udyog Vihar, houses wet, bio, dry and chromatography laboratories along with a modular pilot effluent treatment plant. The company said the centre was designed to shorten the time between laboratory research and industrial deployment, with a focus on making advanced sustainability technologies affordable for small and medium enterprises.

The company unveiled several proprietary technologies at the event, branded “WOG Innovate 2026.” These included a patented High-Efficiency UASB reactor that converts industrial wastewater into biogas, an advanced halogen and iron removal system for recovering hydrochloric acid from industrial waste streams, and a self-cleaning evaporator for high-TDS wastewater treatment. The centre is also working on AI-based water quality prediction systems using machine learning and real-time sensor data.

The RD&TC will also conduct research in areas such as PFAS “forever chemicals,” sludge-to-green-hydrogen pathways, compressed biogas enhancement, biomass torrefaction and advanced oxidation processes for industrial pollutants.

Speaking at the inauguration, V K Chaurasia, Joint Advisor at the Central Public Health & Environmental Engineering Organisation under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, said sustainable urban growth would depend increasingly on innovations in water recycling, renewable energy and climate-resilient infrastructure.

Sunil Rajan, Chief Executive Officer of WOG Technologies, said the company intended the centre to serve as a “launchpad” for indigenous environmental technologies. “From this Centre, India will not just adopt the world’s sustainability technologies; it will create them,” he said.

The launch comes amid growing pressure on Indian industry to improve wastewater treatment and comply with stricter environmental norms, including Zero Liquid Discharge mandates. WOG said India currently treats only about 37 per cent of its wastewater.
