Case Study of the Day: Largest Liquid Waste Treatment Plant- Phytorid Technology

About Phytorid Technology

• Phytorid is a self-sustainable technology for wastewater treatment that works on the principle of natural wetlands.
• It uses certain specific plants that can absorb nutrients directly from wastewater but do not require soil. These plants act as nutrient sinkers and removers.
• It has been developed by CSIR-National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), Nagpur and has been patented in India and abroad.
• It is a combination of the physical, chemical and biological processes which results in the ultimate treatment of the wastewater and the technology works without electricity, minimum maintenance, less manpower and importantly self-sustainable.
• Advantages
  • Cost-effective
  • Negligible operation and maintenance expenses
  • Minimum electricity requirement
  • Smaller footprint
  • Facilitates recycling and reuse of water
  • No foul odour and No mosquito nuisance
