Producing energy instead of consuming it in the process of treating sewage? Yes, EcoStp design doesn’t use electricity or chemicals to treat the sewage, but instead uses microorganisms, plants, and gravel. Developing a fiscal and ecological solution that treats huge amounts of sewage a day without getting connected to a power grid is the specialty of EcoStp.
They knew that the current sewage treatment technology is defective, as sewage treatment plants consume plentiful power and need devoted operators. With a unique “zero power/zero operators” nature- inspired sustainable solution, EcoStp breaks conventions to achieve efficiency in many aspects.
They used engineering to replicate the chambers of a cow’s stomach which can be used for treatment of sewage. By using anaerobic bacteria as the natural digester, the sewage is converted into treated water.
With smart cities in force, this sustainable, energy-efficient solution for waste treatment cannot go unnoticed is what motivates Tharun Kumar and team of EcoStp.
ECOSTP’s technology of bio mimicry was discussed in 8th World Water Forum and was selected as a Best Practice case study for United Nations SDG Sustainability Asia Pac report.
