Do you know we waste 2 million tons of water every day in the world?
It may be from the pollution of industries, agriculture, or human sources, and it takes a lot of time and machinery to convert it again into purified water.
This causes a scarcity of purified water, especially during the summers. The water which is supplied to our daily requirements contains chemicals and sometimes even smells. The water which is used for washing, cooking, and cleaning cannot be suitable for drinking, so people use filters or purifiers to convert this chemical water into purified water.
But, a water plant that ensures water that is supplied by them never needs to be filtered and purified once again to make it suitable for drinking.
The young entrepreneur Smita Singhal claims that her company converts 1 lakh liters of sewage water into purified water per day.
How Did Smita Singhal Take a Step Towards This Project?
Smita’s father was a chemical engineer who designed and installed a system that converts sewage water into purified water in an organic way without using any kind of chemicals, which can be served directly from the tap without any hesitation or second thought in your mind.
The water is filtered with organic and inorganic methods as they use wood chips, sand, and pebbles. The sand filtered water is used for agriculture and further filtered to extract pure drinking water.
About Absolute Water Pvt Ltd
It is a completely green process of water recovery. The company follows the norms of WHO-BIS drinking water by investing a very minimum amount and running the operation through unskilled labor.
They use innovative technologies for purifying and recycling without harming the environment. Absolute Water supplies to municipal authorities, industries, institutions, and commercial and public properties.
The different products and services used by the company are
1. Water recovery system: This specially designed membrane filters viruses, harmful bacteria, pathogens, and various contaminants. The sewage water is passed through sand filters where solid waste is removed, and then the membrane system ensures a long life for the membranes.
2. Effluent Treatment Plants: In this method, they use physio-chemical, biological, and process steps. In biological, there is a classification between the anaerobic process and the aerobic process.
They use a hybrid of digesters, low-rate anaerobic digesters, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket, membrane bioreactors, and sequential batch reactors.
3. Sulphate removal system: This system was developed to remove shortcomings of other technologies for the sulphate removal process, and it also includes additional removal of metals and other parameters.
Low sulphate concentration is treated, For the first time in the sugar industry, SRS has been implemented by Absolute Water.
4. Organic waste to energy plant: This technology is specially designed for removing high solids and it is environmentally friendly. This thermophilic anaerobic technology is used for a cost-effective process organically to remove waste.
5. Bio Filter Green Sewage Treatment Plant: The Biofilter is an organic way of purifying contaminated water in an eco-friendly process. It is equipped with an Ozonator to disinfect the purified water.
How Sita Financially Managed Her Company
With zero wastage technology, there will be only one-fifth of the leftover material that is used as power. In this way, Smita tackled this problem by providing 100% pure natural water and using a regaining process.
This made her invest at low cost, with minimal basics, and by running it with unskilled employees, to overcome financially.
Future Ideas of Smita
Smita’s next move is to make it possible for every individual to have the right to have pure and clean water. Through the AWPL process, they deliver safe drinking water to over 6 lakh residents by using three million liters of 24-hour waste.
Her scope is to expand her supply to more industrial as well as residential areas by creating more portable systems and seeking new technologies.
