 Technology Profile

Title:

High Rate Transpiration System (HRTS)

Value Proposition:
  • Ease of installation and simplicity of operations
  • Low land requirement for maximum wastewater treatment & disposal
  • Works on natural treatment processes and could thus be termed eco-friendly
  • Facilitates development of forests and green belts
  • Generates sink potential for air pollutants and green house gases.
  • Low-energy and cost requirements compared to conventional effluent treatment systems.
  • Biomass generation and revenue returns
  • Green belt development and carbon sequestration during the process of wastewater treatment
Summary Application:

Zero waste discharge for Industry

Advantages:
  • Reuse of effluent and its nutrient contents for biomass production
  • Prevention of ground and surface water pollution
  • Green belt development with concomitant advantages to the environment
  • Biomass generation and revenue returns
  • Fuel wood and timber wood production
  • Raw material for cottage industries
  • Generates sink potential for air pollutants and greenhouse gases
  • Works on natural treatment processes and could thus be termed eco-friendly
