Introduction
Plastic pollution is one of India’s biggest environmental challenges and PET (polyethylene terephthalate), used in beverage bottles, food containers and polyester fabrics, is right in the middle of it. It is a high-volume, high-value stream when collected and processed properly. Industrial-scale PET recycling reduces dependence on virgin petrochemicals, cuts carbon emissions, and prevents landfill and marine waste. Shiva Engineering Services (SES) delivers engineering consultancy for the recycling industry with the technical expertise required for designing plants that can convert mixed bottle feedstock into consistent, marketable rPET (recycled PET).
Our teams include engineers, designers, subject matter experts procurement, project managers, simulation experts and environmental consultants, all working together to deliver end-to-end solutions. We combine interdisciplinary knowledge to build a bankable, compliant and scalable project that meets client and regulator expectations under India’s pollution control frameworks. As one of the leading engineering design services companies in India focused on sustainability, we help operators turn plastic liabilities into industrial assets.
Engineering Consultancy for the Recycling Industry – From Feasibility to Execution
We start with a technically rigorous feasibility study that converts a sustainability aspiration into a profitable project. This includes feedstock characterization, plant-to-sorting facility integration, and yield calculations to determine how much clean PET can be recovered versus rejected. With CAPEX, OPEX and achievable rPET estimations, the feasibility report from SES becomes the single-source technical document that financiers and regulators rely on when green-lighting the project.
As one of the leading engineering design services companies in India, and a trusted engineering consultancy in Gujarat, SES delivers detailed process flow diagrams that minimize cross-contamination and maximize uptime. Our layouts are fully coordinated with elevations, loading ensuring maintenance access and LOTO (lock-out tag-out) procedures remain seamlessly integrated into plant design.
Process & Plant Design by Leading Engineering Design Services Companies in India
SES performs equipment sizing calculations based on shredder capacity, washer residence times, dryer throughput, and SSP (Solid State Polycondensation) reactor volume. Proper sizing restores polymer chain strength, ensuring that recycled PET can meet bottle-grade and other high-end applications.
From an automation perspective, our engineering consultancy for the recycling industry specifies DCS/PLC architectures, automation design, and cyber-hardened network topologies. Control logic includes recipe management for variable feedstocks, real-time process monitoring, energy optimization algorithms, and predictive maintenance routines using vibration, bearing temperature, and motor current analytics.
Our multi-disciplinary engineering approach ensures every aspect of the plant design is optimized:
- Mechanical & Piping: Heat recovery loops, optimized piping layouts, and CIP (Clean-in-Place) provisions for hygienic operations.
- Electrical & Power Systems: Load flow analysis, harmonics study, redundancy planning, and integration with renewable/backup power sources.
- Civil & Structural: Foundations, equipment supports, and layouts designed for vibration isolation, corrosion resistance, and efficient material flow.
- Instrumentation: Selection of sensors and analyzers for real-time quality control (moisture, IV values, contamination).
- EHS (Environment, Health & Safety): Design compliance with CPCB/SPCB norms, emission controls, wastewater treatment, and safety interlocks.
This integrated approach enables SES to deliver bankable PET recycling plants where process efficiency, regulatory compliance, and sustainability go hand in hand.
Local Advantage: Building Sustainable Recycling Plants in Gujarat
If you are planning to build a recycling plant in Gujarat, SES’s on-ground teams are familiar with local permitting processes, and laws for wastewater treatment, effluent monitoring and solid waste management. This allows clients to tap into benefits to remaining fully compliant. Our assistance with emission controls, zero liquid discharge and effluent recycling schemes helps with faster approvals, optimized CAPEX and reduced legal hurdles.
Why Shiva Engineering is the Right Partner
What makes SES different from other engineering design services companies in India? It’s the ability to combine deep technical knowledge with on-ground execution experience. From heat recovery loops in washing lines to optimized piping layouts, our designs focus on cost efficiency and sustainability, reducing energy consumption and OPEX significantly. SES has cross-industry expertise, having executed complex projects in petrochemicals, polymers, masterbatches, recycling, and green chemistry, making us a powerhouse of multi-disciplinary knowledge.
Conclusion
SES’s engineering consultancy for the recycling industry helps manufacturers, brand owners and recyclers to achieve food-grade rPET production and energy-efficient operations as per the evolving waste management policies of India. Each project we deliver reduces dependence on virgin polymers, lowers carbon footprint and strengthens the domestic circular economy.
