Title: | Municipal Waste Water Treatment Using Immobilized Microbial Culture – Bio Phytorem System |
Area: | Earth, Atmosphere & Environment Sciences |
Focus Area: | Water-based Technologies |
Status: | Ready forcommercialization. |
Patent: | Yet to be patented |
Social Benefits: | Reduces sewage treatment time at wetland.
Improves efficiency of wetland treatment system. Reduce minimum space requirement
for wetland construction. Use of culture in the form of biofilm protects the bacteria from
toxic compounds in sewage and increases its survival during influx of toxic substances
and shock loads. Eliminate requirement of frequent addition of microbial culture. |
