USE OF MICROBES AND HERBAL EXTRACTS TO TREAT WASTEWATER

By Sanjay Bahl

When the going gets tough and when traditional water treatment methods seem unsatisfactory then we should resort to the natural ways of cleaning wastewater.

If water was a Sadhu or Yogi then he would go to his ashram in the morning as a bright, smart, clear-headed gentleman and come back in the evening to his hut as a fat, lethargic, tired man and then would get into an intense tapasya to rejuvenate himself again for the next day. Similarly, technically

Speaking water is a universal solvent and accumulates all toxins it passes through. Wastewater consists of total dissolved solids (TDS), total suspended solids (TSS), biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD) oil and grease, heavy metals and many such

Impurities that need be removed before it can be reused again. Here we will

Speak about the natural ways of removing various forms of impurities from wastewater.

Water rejuvenation.

Before getting into the rejuvenation cycle of water, it needs to be understood that freshwater has no odour, it has plenty of dissolved oxygen, has low TDS, almost zero TSS, and near zero

BOD, COD. This water rejuvenation cycle needs to be done by industries on a daily basis and a perfect balance between economical operations, profit making and ecological sustainability needs to be found. However, when the going gets tough and when traditional water treatment methods seem unsatisfactory then we should resort to the natural ways of cleaning wastewater.

Going the natural way.

While it is all very good and nice to say that going the natural when other methods and technologies do not work but it is more important to know what those natural processes are. To keep it

Simple we can cover two significant natural techniques to purify water. One way is to make use of beneficial microbes and the other method is to employ herbal extracts. Beneficial microbes: microbes are biochemical factories that can intake BOD, COD and build biomass. This biomass consists of microbial colonies bound by polysaccharide glue which then settles down and brings with it impurities and suspended solids. Among microbes, there are selected species that can do this work in a very efficient manner with low dosages, thereby providing economies in wastewater treatment.

Herbal extracts: these are extracts made from plants which can purify water. To give an example, the Maringa (Maringa oleifera often known as the drumstick tree, the miracle tree, the ben oil tree, or

the horseradish tree) seeds extract is one such natural coagulant and flocculants which works on the basis of charge neutralization and settles down all suspended impurities in water. Similarly extract of Methil (fenugreek) and Yucca (a genus of perennial shrubs and trees in the family Asparagaceae,

Subfamily Agavoideae) can adsorb strong odours like H2S, Ammonia and also acts as a carrier of beneficial microbes which further digest the odorous organics and reduce sludge volumes.

In short, a product that is formulated such that it has select microbes, enzymes and herbal extracts works wonders in wastewater treatment. Such formulations are the need of the hour

And should be used by industries to maintain a balance between realizing operational profits and aid in maintaining the ecological balance. Super weld Eco solutions has a decade-long experience in the development of biological products to improve wastewater treatment, the present-day treatment methods are unsatisfactory and we feel that our products can bring a big change in terms of economics and performance. Our herbal extracts enzymes and microbes can be deployed in septic tanks, industrial wastewater treatment, grease trap management BOD, COD reduction ammonia reduction odour elimination oil spill management, algae control composting solid waste way management Easy-to-use these formulations provide quick results and performance at low

dosages and have made our products well accepted by waste water professionals, For example our products like SUPER 24 and OXYSUPER are well known in the ETP industry
