Introducing Advanced Microbial Technology At Municipal Council
Introduction:
The Municipal Council was established in July 1950 under the Bombay Provincial Corporation Act (1949) and is responsible for the civic infrastructure and administration.
Objective:
Bioremediation of sewage waste in three mobile toilets using Bioclean BD under Municipal Corporation.
Bioremediation treatment was done at the given mobile toilets :
Mobile Toilet Vehicle : (Site 1, Site 2, Site 3)
Product Range :
Bioclean BD – Robust Microbial Culture for improving sanitation
- It is a consortium of beneficial microbes which are natural and safe.
- Facilitate complete degradation of organic matter.
- Bacteria in Bioclean BD have a shelf life of two years.
Organica’s Approach :
- Having identified the outlet of each mobile toilet, we have collected the raw water samples and had them tested in the laboratory for various parameters like COD, BOD, Nitrate, Nitrite, etc.
- Our technology Bioclean BD was added to the toilet seats as per the required dosing. It was calculated on the basis of various parameters of the septic tanks, e.g., the volume of the tank, the number of users per day, and the analysis report of the untreated water sample from the septic tank, etc.
- Bioclean BD, which is in powder form, is mixed with water and poured inside the toilet seats for application purposes. Through the toilet drains, the product reaches the tank and starts its activity. As Organica Biotech utilizes the micro-encapsulation technology in all of our product lines, when the product is mixed with water, the protective barrier is dissolved, and the user is ensured that the highest count possible of first-generation bacteria is ready to go to work on the application.
- The product has a high concentration of selected proprietary naturally occurring microbes that are specially selected to digest things like human waste, mild detergents, fats, oils & grease (FOG), proteins, starch-total organic carbon (TOC), etc., that usually clog up septic tanks and adversely affect their function. Once they start degrading the sludge build-up in tanks, the levels of COD, BOD, and pH are controlled to a large extent.
Product Application
Bioclean BD, as it is in powder form, is first mixed with water for application purposes. One Kg of the product is mixed in approx. 5 litres of water and is stirred to form a slurry, which can be easily poured inside the toilet drains.
As mentioned earlier, Bioclean BD contains facultative micro-organisms that are in a dormant state in order to increase the shelf life of the product.
Once they come in touch with water, they are released from their capsules and become active, and start their sludge-degrading process. The product can be used in septic tanks of community toilets.
Post treated Analysis along with Problems Encountered and Results:
A) Site 1
Problems associated with the Mobile toilet:
- Heavy Sludge Built Up.
- Foul odour around the vicinity
- Septic Tank overflow
Intermediate Study and Analysis of water sample before and after treatment :
B) Site 2
Problems associated with the Mobile toilet :
- Heavy Sludge Built Up.
- Foul odour around the vicinity
Intermediate Study and Analysis of water sample before and after treatment
C) Site 3
Problems associated with the Mobile toilet :
- Heavy Sludge Built Up.
- Extreme foul odour around the vicinity.
- Poor degradation of faecal waste
Intermediate Study and Analysis of water sample before and after treatment
Graphical Representation: Average Reduction in all three Mobile Toilet
Conclusion:
An effective decrease in COD and BOD levels was observed. The faecal coliform count was decreased. The absence of faecal coliforms suggests the absence of disease-causing pathogens, and hence individuals using the mobile toilets are free from the potential health risk that faecal coliforms cause.
There is a complete odour reduction near the mobile toilets at the Municipal Council.
