In a chance meeting with the officials of GACL, who at that time were concerned with the pollution caused by PAC (Poly-aluminum Chloride) and CaCl2, Shachi Engineering’s MD, Mr. Shanbhag, offered to help to solve the problems. The officials opened up the records of the plant and showed the current state. While the plant was relatively old, it was troubled with a sub-optimal performance at several levels.
