India’s rapid urbanisation has made sewage management a complex process. A 2021 report states, Class I cities and Class II towns collectively generate an estimated 29129 MLD sewage. However, existing sewage treatment capacity is a mere 6190 MLD, leaving a significant gap of 78.7%.
The CPCB (Central Pollution Control Board) report shows the concerning reality. A mere 13.5% utilization of existing STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants), highlighting the dismal state and significant contribution to environmental pollution.
For the government, this crisis demands urgent attention and meticulous planning for continuous capacity upgrades in severely polluted cities and towns. The report recommends specific sewage treatment technologies and innovative solutions, stressing on the importance of operational economy and minimal land usage, like the anaerobic-sludge-blanket reactor and coagulant-aided tertiary sedimentation.
However, the limitations and challenges outlined in the report highlight the inefficiency of the current CAPEX model. Government bodies face constraints in swift upgrades, technological advancements, and operational cost-efficiency.
This is where Unison provides a compelling solution. A flexible, innovative wastewater treatment solution aligned with population growth and addressing the urgent need for sewage treatment capacity upgrades. With expertise in advanced sewage treatment technologies, operational efficiency, less land requirement, and skilled personnel, Unison is a strategic partner for sustainable and scalable sewage treatment solutions.
Preventing water body pollution and conserving water resources is a priority, and Unison’s approach aligns with the report’s recommendations, emphasising the importance of immediate action in sewage treatment and reutilisation to safeguard our environment and water resources for generations to come.
