Why Waste Treatment?

The Problem The Consequences The Solution
  • With increasing urbanisation, sewage waste disposal is an enormous problem in India and the developing world
  • Commonly used solutions such as septic tanks, soak pits, etc., do not treat the waste matter
  • Out of the 5,000 towns and cities in India, less than 300 have conventional sewerage systems and an even lower number have 100% coverage

Untreated waste results in:

  • Organic pollution
  • Aesthetic nuisance
  • Contamination of ground and drinking water
  • Diseases like cholera, typhoid, diarrhoea, etc.
  • Malnutrition
  • Stunted growth – permanent loss of height and intelligence
  • Economic loss in terms of direct health expenses and loss of man days
  • Waste treatment technology developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) known as Bio-Digester technology
  • K. K. Nag Pvt. Ltd is a licensee of DRDO’s Bio-Digester technology
  • We offer a range of Biodigester and Bio-STPs (Sewage Treatment Plants)
  • We provide integrated sanitation solutions comprising of Toilet Superstructures and Bio-Waste Treatment Systems

DRDO Bio-Digesters

Consist of two parts:

  • A specially designed and manufactured Bio-Digester Tank in rotomoulded LLDPE or fibreglass.

  • Anaerobic Microbial Inoculum (AMI) – the bacterial component.

NagMagic Bio-STP (Sewage Treatment Plant)

  • Two stage treatment process:

    • Stage 1: Anaerobic digestion using a Bio-Digester to treat the sewage. Effluent suitable for use in irrigation, gardening, civil construction, etc.

    • Stage 2 (Optional): Secondary treatment which makes the effluent compliant with CPCB norms. Effluent suitable for flushing toilets, etc.

  • Low on investment. High on performance. Very low running cost.

  • Minimal maintenance with only one-time addition of inoculum and NO de-sludging for the lifetime of the system.

  • All sewage/organic matter is 100% bio-digested and gets converted into treated gas and water.

  • Sealed system … NO contamination of ground water.

  • 100% biological process. NO harmful chemicals used

  • Ideal for individual households, apartments, commercial establishments, educational institutions, etc.

  • The monthly average running/operating cost of a 5 KLD (kilolitres per day) conventional STP is ₹5.70 – ₹6.30 per litre.

  • The monthly average running/operating cost of a 5 KLD NagMagic Bio-STP is ₹0.55 – ₹0.65 per litre.

  • The tanks for the Bio-STP systems are available in both rotational moulding and FRP.

  • The smallest system available can be used by 4 to 6 users in a domestic setting and 8 to 12 users in an industrial setting.
