Our research and development efforts are accompanied by openness to share our findings and make our contribution towards the international knowledge base on the subject through publications in local and international journals.
Prime Chemicals Corporation (Pvt) Ltd.'s research & development activities are based on our conviction that research and technology are central to building the PCC of tomorrow. Within the ambit of our core business area of water treatment and management, water scarcity is a key global challenge, with ...
Pakistan especially vulnerable Per capita water availability in Pakistan has fallen below 1,000 m3/year. Pakistan is among the top 10 countries without access to safe water. These and other statistics simply highlight the added challenge of meeting the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which calls for “achieving universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all", "Improving water quality by …halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally” and “increasing water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity".
Over and beyond, water is now a recognized resource, and expected to become one of the most important ones by 2040. Efficient use, together with recycling resources, is key to environmental stewardship, which we whole-heartedly embrace, with an aim to allow our R&D activities to make new technologies available, environmentally sustainable and commercially viable to the local market
To expand our R&D base, Prime Chemicals Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. realizes the need to collaborate with other industrial partners and academia. Taking into account different novel ideas being introduced around the world, our direct R&D efforts are supported through our alliances with major customers, ...

While collaborating with academia, we also encourage our employees to engage in pilot projects and research activities. In September 2019, a PCC employee presented his research on low strength grey water reclamation through recycled discarded RO membranes at the 1st International Conference on Water, Energy and Environment Nexus (WEEN 2019) in Istanbul, Turkey. This was followed by two PCC-NUST collaborative publications in impact factor internal journals in 2020.
As part of our commitment towards developing water solutions, Prime Chemicals Corporation (Pvt) Ltd. and its R&D team regularly corspond with international manufacturers of water treatment equiment and solutions, while also active with international associations on water. Two out of a total five ...
Pakistani members registered with International Desalination Association (IDA) in 2019-2020 were PCC employees, with one further taking part in IDA’s Young Leaders Program (YLP) in 2020-2021, also featuring in IDA’s Global Connections publication of Fall 2020.
PCC’s R&D team are in regular correspondence with international manufacturers of RO membranes, filter media, high flow and high pressure pumps, automatic filters, monitoring equipment and devices, RO plant components and wastewater treatment equipment. These correspondences help us keep up to date with the development in the international market and evaluate if introduction of any technology would benefit our clients.
Prime Chemicals Corporation (Pvt) Ltd.’s research & development efforts are primarily focused on developing local solutions to local water problems. This means that our direct resources will mainly be looking at applied research with an aim of addressing actual indutrial and municipal water problems ...

We realize that most water problems that we encounter have recnized engineering solutions, which are dealt with by our projects depament. However, certain water problems need review of published literature and case studies from other geographical areas or need for piloting specific to the local environment, water chemistry and site specific conditions. For such problems, our R&D team actively works with our clients in designing pilot projects and research experiments, followed by executing and testing to success the most technically and commercially optimal solutions for our clients.
