Reduction Of Seven Years Old Sludge

At Ranjangaon, Pune. The goal of the treatment was to reduce the sludge layer to save costs of traditional disposal, which simply puts the pollution elsewhere.

Supplementation of the inherent microbial populations with concentrations of selected and adapted microbial strains having better survival ability, faster increase in bacterial population and multiple enzyme production will enhance the decomposition of organic matter. Aerobic and facultative microorganisms in the product with specific biodegradative abilities are able to grow and degrade organic substances in the aerobic and anaerobic portions of the municipal wastewater treatment system. The digestion process begins with the microbial hydrolysis of the input materials (ex. carbohydrates, proteins and fats) into sugars, amino acids and fatty acids for use of other bacteria. Hydrolysis can be performed by both aerobic and facultative organisms.

During the decomposition of organic matter in the sludge, the volume of the sludge is reduced while degradation products released into the water are rapidly decomposed. Clarity of the water is enhanced by the continuous degradation of suspended cellulosic materials by both the enzyme and microbial components of the product.
