WD News: A sewage treatment technology developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) will help the Central Training College of the Central Reserve Police Force (CTC-CRPF) spread over 400 acres at Kurudampalayam near Coimbatore to save around four lakh litres of water a day.
DRDO’s anaerobic bio-digestion (ABD) tank technology used in new sewage treatment plant (STP) will treat the entire sewage and faecal matter generated by 400 families and 1,000 trainees on campus and convert them into odour-less water that can be used for all purposes other than drinking.
Though the STP set up at a cost of Rs. 2.16 crore has an installed capacity to treat four lakh litres of water a day, it was receiving around three lakh litres of sewage a day at present.
The MAK-DRDO ABD patented technology is the first of its kind in the country and it does not require power for digesting content in sewage water.
