WATER
Wastewater is one of the most toxic by-products produced by industries, hotels, and hospitals. Wastewater, which has all kinds of impurities, are being dumped directly into the river systems. Wastewater can also lead to higher methane emissions in areas where it is not collected or treated. Because of the rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, a significant amount of solid waste is combined with wastewater resulting in emissions of GHGs such as methane and carbon dioxide. Furthermore, poor water governance, the technical gap in wastewater technology, and unmanaged urbanisation can further exacerbate this problem leading to increased water pollution and adverse impacts on river ecosystems.
The concept of wastewater treatment plant is still new in Nepal. We provide all kinds of wastewater treatment systems of various sizes that helps convert wastewater into clean water. The wastewater system not only treats the water, preventing further water pollution but also compensates for water scarcity in agriculture. The treated water can be used for irrigating agricultural land, horticulture, groundwater recharge, dust control in construction sites, various industrial procesess, fire suppression, and wetland restoration. Wastewater treatment can also reduce GHG emissions.
First, we study the wastewater quality and assess its negative impacts on the water bodies to determine the required technology and size in accordance with the budget of the client. Based on our research, we offer our clients a variety of wastewater treatment system options which they select based on the requirements. We also inform them about the cost of system maintenance. For example, a Fecal sludge treatment plant (FSTP) or Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) would require minimal maintenance costs to operate in the long run.
Our primary beneficiaries include the garment industry, pharmaceuticals, schools, hotels, and hospitals. Our secondary beneficiaries are farmers who use the treated water for agriculture. One of our clients, Nepal Maharishi Vedic Foundation, have a greywater treatment plant that treats 20,000 litres of water per day which is used in toilets as flush water.
We have also created water treatment plants that is sustainable. Treatment plants available in the market are often expensive, energy consuming, have high maintenance cost, complex and produces more sludge. However, our modified systems are designed to consume less energy, need less maintenance, and produces less sludge.
With increasing urban population and expanding industries in the urban cities of the region, wastewater could pose a big problem in the future. Wastewater treatment plants therefore have a great scope of scaling to ensure proper wastewater management and healthy river ecosystems. Furthermore, we also provide compact treatment plants that are sludge free and can be transported to the mountains.
