Engineering sustainable water, energy, and waste recovery systems for industrial applications.
Vapour Desal Technologies has been at the forefront of thermal desalination and waste-to-energy engineering for nearly two decades. Established in 2005 as a joint venture between Dr. Marco Rognoni of Saline Water Specialists (Italy) and Mr. M.P. Ramaswamy of GB Engineering (India), the company was founded to bring advanced desalination technology into the Indian industrial ecosystem.What began with thermal deaerators and early desalination projects has evolved into a multi-domain engineering practice.

Today
Developing sustainable engineering solutions for water, energy, and resource recovery
With deep roots in process and pressure vessel engineering, our systems are designed to meet applicable codes, safety standards, and performance requirements.
From solar-powered plants in Narippaiyur to island-based desalination systems in Lakshadweep, our projects have delivered critical water infrastructure in demanding environments.
We deliver technical innovations in the pyrolysis sector, improving safety, emissions control, and process stability for real-world operators.
Every solution is custom-engineered to suit your heat source, layout, and operational constraints — no off-the-shelf systems.
Our projects span government agencies, PSUs, research institutions, and private industry in India and select international markets.
Our systems are delivered and operated in conditions ranging from costal and island installations to industrial and high -integrity facilities - engineered for reliability under real operating constrain
To develop smart, sustainable solutions that turn waste and heat into valuable energy and resources — helping industries move toward cleaner, circular practices.
To lead the shift to a low-waste future through practical, thermal engineering solutions that deliver real-world impact across industries and infrastructure.
We design systems that recover energy, reduce waste, and support circular resource use.
Engineering solutions combine technical rigour with operational efficiency.
Projects delivered with strict adherence to safety, quality, and performance standards.
Working alongside research institutions, industries, and public agencies to deliver effective solutions.
Systems engineered for reliability in demanding industrial and environmental conditions.
