Novel waste water treatment technology from IIT Bombay- Soil Bio technology

[Siddharth Biyani]

CAMUS‐SBT  is an  oxygenation  engine that outperforms  conventional  technologies

likeActivated Sludge Process (ASP), Sequential Batch  Reactor (SBR),  Membrane  Bio Reactor

(MBR)and Moving Bed Bio‐reactor (MBBR). Our technology harnesses a  special set  of

 bio‐chemical reactions  to deliver  the  oxygenation required for effluent treatment. 

 

In  conventional technologies,  aeration isachieved mechanically, which is very energy

intensive.  At higher ambient  temperatures (like inIndia) the solubility of oxygen in water

is  low, therefore  energy  requirements of mechanical  aeration  used by  conventional

technologyincreases.  Moreover, air contains only20% oxygen, the rest being nitrogen that

ispassed into water wastefully, further adding to process inefficiency.

 

CAMUS‐SBTresolves this problem  using a  bio‐chemical method  of  oxygenation, which

notonly uses the atmospheric oxygen, but also uses the  nitrogen  from the  atmosphere  in  a

specially  engineered natural  ecology  to achieve the desired level of purity.

 

In  addition conventional  technologiesgenerate  large  amount of  sludge  for which

additional  disposal facilities  have  to  becreated.  CAMUS‐SBT  does not  face  any such

problems.Theschematic of the process is shown below.  

 

Featuresof our technology:

 

•  

  ·         Low‐energy consumption

• ·         All green natural process

• ·         No moving  parts  apart from pumps

• ·        No bio‐sludgeformation

• ·         Efficient removal  of  COD and nitrogen

• ·         Near drinking  water  quality after treatment

• ·        Treatment  cost Rs  3‐5  per 1000L

• ·        Garden likeambiance

• ·         Bio‐tower designs  available for spaceconstrained areas.

• ·        One time mediainstallation

• ·         Long life

• ·         Unskilled personnel  sufficient to operate

• ·        No foul Odor

 

Varioususes of the technology 

·                                 Sewage treatment plant(STP)  and industrial effluent treatment plant (ETP)applications.

·                                 Retrofit ofpre-existing STP/ETPs with SBT/CAMUS-SBT systems. 

·        Laundry EffluentTreatment for total water reuse. 

·        Distilleryspent-wash treatment. 

·        Coffee Effluenttreatment.

·        Hospitals waste water ,Hotels waste water,Municipal waste water can all be treated using SBT.

·        Design of zerodischarge air scrubbers for removal of waste noxious gases (Sulphur, NOx  

         and organic pollutants from Industrialprocesses).

Dear Mr. Siddharth

Its really a wonder idea of using bio-chemical technology in STP/ETP plants with various advantages over convention methods.

Am a consultant working on design for STP/ETP plants. So plz send me the design details of the STB/ CAMUS-STB project on [e-mail] , that would be needful for handling projects.   

Regards,

Varshadeep

[Rajesh K Desai]

Thanks for new ideas.We consume app.15000-17000 kwh power per month to treat avg 150-200 m3 /day with one blower & one mech aerator.

If we employ this what will be pay backperiod. Pl.send with calculation on [e-mail]

 

 

[Dr. R. Dalwani]

The technology seems promising especially for the sewage treatment requirements under River Action Plans. I would like to know the details of the technology and influent and effluent characteristics in terms of BOD, TSS and F.coli levels. Kindly email at [e-mail] for taking this forward at GOI level.

[priyanka rathi]
