Wastewater Treatment

Indian researchers at the Institute of Nano Science and Technology (INST) in Mohali, led by Dr. Bhanu Prakash, have developed a new technique to address chromium contamination in wastewater. This technique employs sunlight as a catalyst in combination with microfluidic technology to convert toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) into the less harmful t...

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has asked the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) to ensure 100 per cent collection and treatment of domestic sewage generated in the city, saying untreated wastewater from 22 drains led to frothing in the Yamuna river.

Delhi Minister (Water) and Chairman of DJB Satyendar Jain along with senior officials inspected wastewater treatment plants at Rohini (15 MGD), Rithala (60 MGD), Coronation Pillar (30 MGD) and also the Timarpur Oxidation Pond and Bhalaswa Lake site.

The Delhi government on Monday increased the 2020-21 budget for water supply and sanitation by around 70 per cent, allocating more funds for unauthorised colonies and wastewater treatment plants.

Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur will steer a European Union-funded project to evolve technologies for reusing wastewater after treating it.

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) today approved setting up of a new sewage treatment plant (STP) at Okhla which, it claimed, will be the largest such plant in India.

An Indian-American has been appointed as the Secretary of the Texas Board of Professional Engineers that licenses qualified engineers and regulates the practice of professional engineering in the US state.

The stench of clogged toilets fills the air at the US capital's wastewater treatment facility. And for good reason -- it's one of the world's largest projects to transform human waste into electricity.

Although India is set to become water-scarce country by 2025 due to demand-supply mis-match, the water sector is expected to see investment of $13 billion from overseas players in the next few years, a new study has said.

Rubber granulate made from end-of-life car tyres may in future lend itself to applications such as wastewater treatment, say researchers.
