Anish,

There is some unique technology that we are incorporating for upgrading existing wastewater treatment facilities for India.

We are an Indian company possessing technology that addresses the cost center concept of old sewage treatment plants. Most plants are heavy consumers of electricity, calling for expensive CAPEX upgrade + OPEX operating expenditure of O&M.

The major problem with sewage treatment plants is that as the O&M expenses are huge, water utilities find it hard to make ends meet and therefore I call them cost centers.

With our MAST technology wastewater treatment plants we use very little energy and in the process we are net energy producers. 

Our plants produce their own electricity to operate pumps and equipments on the sewage treatment process.

Our MAST technology (Microbe Algae Sewage Treatment) plants operate on the principle of super saturated oxygen provided by the microalgae. The MAST technology only requires 3 variable inputs, firstly nutrients found naturally in the sewage wastewater, carbon dioxide that is provided by the microbes as well as the carbon dioxide available from the atmosphere and lastly sunlight. 

Our MAST Technology wastewater treatment plants are carbon negative as they work on drawing carbon dioxide from the air as well as the microbes in the wastewater. There is a symbiotic relationship between the microbe and algae. While the algae provides oxygen to the microbes to grow and multiply so that the wastewater can be treated the microbes give out carbon dioxide that is taken up by the algae. 

The algae biomass that is harvested is then extracted for carbohydrates and lipids, thus giving you Acetone, Butanol, Ethanol, Methanol  etc from the carbohydrates and Biodiesel from the lipids. 

The tertiary treated wastewater is recycled and reused for agriculture, industry and commercial buildings for washing, mopping, flushing and gardening thus reducing the water stress.

We assist not only in the upgrade but provide policy thrust and advice to the state government as well and how best to utilize the resource. 

We are right now going through the process of negotiating a sewage treatment facility at Gujarat for an upgrade to the new CPHEEO guidelines of BOD5 being less than 10 mg/liter. 

In case of land footprint we require land but we also provide solutions to pump the wastewater out of city limits where land is available and then to set up the facility to take advantage of a low energy technology to treat the wastewater.
