Organica Biotech is a leading manufacturer of advanced biological inputs for wastewater treatment plants and sewage treatment plant. Our products are ideally suited for processes like activated sludge, anaerobic reactors, extended aeration, attached growth, MBR, SBR, MMBR, Bio Trickling Filters,  RBC, UASB, Bio filters, etc.

 

Our technology helps the wastewater engineers to solve their problems related to commissioning, refractory COD/BOD reduction, shock loads, toxicity, hydrocarbons, ammonical nitrogen or any other problem encountered in the treatment process.

 

“Refractory COD,” is the COD due to non biodegradable substances that lead to low BOD but high COD. Ideally the goal of a truly environment friendly treatment process is to minimize the COD to BOD ratio along with reduction of BOD and COD levels individually.

In order to achieve this, one must first understand the chemical nature of these xenobiotic compounds that contribute to high refractory COD. These compounds usually include organics such as  detergents (alkyl benzene sulfonate),organic acids, aldehydes, complexing and sequestering agents like EDTA and NTA, pharmaceutical ingredients, cellulosic and lignin compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, pesticides, PCBs, etc.

We at Organica Biotech have developed special purpose vigorous microbes and enzymatic formulations that are effective in breaking down and simultaneously oxidizing these compounds. This biological method is effective in reducing the refractory COD without any changes major changes in existing plant.

 

With a strong client base, we have users and companies in India and across the globe who are successfully treating and optimizing their wastewater treatment units using our technology.

Its our responsibility to protect and preserve our water resources. Every effort is a step forward. Every country should implement solutions in preserving and protecting it's water resources. As the climate changes and ice caps recede, the replenishing of our reservoirs are slowing down. We should take heed to the signs and invest in every effort to preserve this precious commodity.

A new, life-like robot fish -- modeled after carp -- developed by UK scientists from the University of Essex have been swimming around the London Aquarium awaiting their release off northern Spain in 2011 to collect data on ocean pollution. Equipped with tiny chemical sensors that act as a little lab onboard the fish, the fish will detect hazards such as chemical spills and fertilizer runoff and will allow officials to map in real time the sources and impacts of pollution.

The World Water Council, which will host the 5th World Water Forum in Istanbul, Turkey, in March 2009, posted the following seeking feedback after the IWA World Water Congress in Vienna, Austria, earlier this month (September 2008):

"The floor is yours - Last week the 2700 participants at the IWA congress in Vienna had the opportunity to express their ideas and thoughts on some of the World Water Council's initatives in view of the 5th World Water Forum. Three informal dialogues were organised focusing on the Istanbul Urban Water Consensus; Adapting Water to Climate Change and Rural Sanitation Solutions. The experienced participants contributed to the progress through their insightful suggestions and thoughts."
