Malu Kamble is redefining industrial waste as a resource for the future
When Malu Kamble walks into a room, he carries not just years of engineering expertise but also a bold belief: liquid waste is not a problem—it's an opportunity. As the Managing Director of Hyderabad-based KEP Engineering, he has made it his mission to change how industries think about waste. 'Liquid waste is no longer a burden—it's a resource,' he says with quiet conviction. And this is not just a slogan. Under his leadership, KEP Engineering has become one of the country's most trusted names in liquid waste management, helping industries shift from waste disposal to waste recovery. For years, industries treated wastewater as something to be eliminated—the sooner, the cheaper, the better. But Malu saw things differently. He saw value where others saw a problem. And he knew that with the right technology and mindset, waste streams could be transformed into something useful: clean water, recovered chemicals, even energy. 'At KEP, we don't just build machines—we offer solutions that make industries more responsible, more efficient, and more future-ready,' he explains. His approach is clear: industries must go beyond basic compliance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Back Pain Treatments That Might Surprise You!

KEP's ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge) systems are engineered with advanced technologies such as Multi-Effect Evaporators (MEE), Agitated Thin Film Dryers (ATFD), Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporation (MVRE), CIGAR (Condensate Integrated Gas Recovery), and Customized Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs). These systems are tailored to suit the complex wastewater profiles of diverse sectors—including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automobiles, metals & steel, textiles, food processing, solar PV cells, and specialty manufacturing. KEP's systems are now used by companies across these industries—from small factories to large plants—helping turn toxic wastewater into reusable resources. Their ZLD systems are designed to leave nothing behind: no spills, no pollution, no waste. Behind this technology lies KEP's deep commitment to research and development. The team focuses on improving energy efficiency, lowering emissions, and reducing the lifetime cost of running a plant. But for Malu, innovation is only part of the story. What truly matters is impact. He believes industries need to think long-term. 'Fresh water is not unlimited. If we keep using it like this, there won't be enough for future generations. But if we recycle, reuse, and recover, we can change the story,' he says. His words come from experience, not theory. With more than 550 wastewater systems installed across 35 industry types, KEP's work is helping shape a new industrial future—one that's cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable. For Malu Kamble, it's personal. He doesn't just run a company—he leads a movement where engineering meets ethics, and where waste becomes hope.

KEP Engineering Powers India's Industrial Sustainability with 550+ Waste-water Treatment Systems Across 35 Sectors
VMPL Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 18: As industrial pollution increasingly strains India's water & soil ecosystem, Hyderabad-based KEP Engineering (KEP) is spearheading a critical movement towards sustainable waste-water management. By partnering with leading Indian manufacturers and deploying over 550 waste-water treatment systems across 35 industry segments in India, KEP is catalysing the transition to Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) -- an advanced process that eliminates liquid effluents and recovers usable water and resources. India's industrial sector generates over 850-900 million litres of waste-water daily, much of it laden with hazardous chemicals, heavy metals, and organic pollutants. Untreated, this waste-water poses severe risks to public health, aquatic life, and agricultural productivity. While Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) guidelines have been in place, enforcement remains inconsistent, making industrial ZLD adoption both an environmental necessity and a strategic imperative. "Waste-water treatment is no longer a regulatory checkbox--it's a cornerstone of responsible industry. We are proud to work with environmentally conscious companies that understand the urgency of safeguarding India's water future," said Malu Kamble, Managing Director of KEP, one of the leading companies in liquid waste-water treatment in India. KEP's ZLD systems are engineered with advanced technologies such as Multi-Effect Evaporators (MEE), Agitated Thin Film Dryers (ATFD), Mechanical Vapor Recompression Evaporation (MVRE) and Customized Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs). These systems are configured to suit the complex waste-water profiles of diverse sectors--including pharmaceuticals, chemicals, automobiles, metals & steel, textiles, food processing, solar PV cells, and specialty manufacturing. KEP's research and development has come-up with an advanced MEE with CIGAR technology to give the companies enhanced energy savings, reduce plant life cycle cost, resulting in lowering emissions and carbon footprints. Globally, countries like Germany, the Netherlands, and Singapore have set benchmarks in industrial water reuse, leveraging ZLD as a key pillar of circular water economy models. In China, where industrial water stress mirrors India's, ZLD has become mandatory to address high-pollution sectors. KEP's approach aligns with these international best practices by emphasizing on-site, decentralized systems that minimize infrastructure burden while maximizing sustainability impact. "Our systems are built not just to meet Indian regulatory norms but to match the performance standards of developed economies. We design for compliance, yes--but more importantly, we design for a cleaner future", said Malu Kamble. With increasing regulatory oversight from India's National Green Tribunal (NGT) and evolving expectations under the ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) frameworks, Indian industries are under pressure to innovate. KEP is supporting this transition through turnkey solutions, real-time monitoring systems, and remote service integration, enabling companies to meet evolving sustainability benchmarks with confidence. "We are not just suppliers of machinery--we are enablers of transformation," said Kamble. "Our mission is to empower Indian industry to grow sustainably, responsibly, and in harmony with the environment." As India eyes a $5 trillion economy with ambitious industrial expansion, sustainable water management will be critical. KEP's collaborative model--grounded in technological excellence, client partnership, and ecological accountability--offers a blueprint for integrating industrial growth with environmental stability.
