Most cities have not grown in a planned way like Chandigarh or Mohali where in situ bioremediation is already done, resulting in multiple issues related to waste water. One of the common issues that plagues all cities is proper treatment of raw sewage water. This leads to pollution of groundwater aquifers, water bodies like lakes and rivers and also becomes the cause of vector born diseases.
Though multiple STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants) have been set up by Municipal Corporations they have still not addressed the problem fully which is where our sewage treatment service comes into use. Many STPs do not function properly owing to design or maintenance issues and in many places STPs cannot be set up owing to cost, logistics or cultural issues. Thus, pollution goes on unabated, albeit to a lesser degree.
In-situ bio-remediation is rapidly growing as a solution to reduce the pollution load in a flowing drain. Linking treated sewage for use in non-potable areas like watering parks, road dividers, car wash, replenishing lakes and ponds is vital for conserving our most precious resource.
With the help of Biomimicry, we thought of a novel way to treat wastewater while it is flowing in the drains itself, otherwise called in-situ bio-remediation of drains. Our novel technology mimics the self-cleansing process of rivers through multiple ways. This method will help in the following ways:
This solution was conceived while mimicking the self-cleansing process of rivers. and streams. It is perceived that with this method the benefits as cited above can be delivered across all drains. Various technologies work in tandem to bring results under our solution. These are briefed as follows:

"Adsorption is the process of attraction of atoms or molecules from an adjacent liquid to an exposed solid surface. Such attraction forces (adhesion or cohesion) align the molecules into layers or 'biofilms' onto the existent surface. In the river, dirt is absorbed by these 'bio-films' formed on the surface of the gravel. Some microorganisms like benthos and bacteriophages present in the river and riverbed degrade harmful bacteria. They assist in the self-cleansing process to a very large extent. In order to mimic this, we use local raw material to create a platform for 'bio-films' to get created. We introduce our own probiotic microbes to help form these films in the drains"

"Water is aerated naturally by flowing over pebbles beds or rocky falls. Large boulders found in rivers act as barriers and natural aerators. The 'bubbling 'or frothing water is thus aerated. In order to mimic this, we create natural barriers in the drain to act as aerators. Wastewater in drains is made to fall a certain distance for aeration to take place."

"Sedimentation is the tendency of particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained, and come to rest against a barrier. Troughs and crests present in the riverbed helps the river water to sediment its impurities in the flowing channel. Impurities also settle down on the banks of the rivers. We emulate this by using sand bags and other local material with excellent results."

"We augment the population of beneficial microbes in the system by adding our powerful cocktail of microbes into the drain in various innovative ways. The application ensures that: These highly beneficial consortium of microbes do not get washed away in the drain. They reduce the BOD, COD, TSS and Coliform count in the wastewater. They suppress any foul odour or vectors like flies & mosquitoes. There is an appreciable reduction in sludge formation in quick time."
