Indra Water: Treating wastewater efficiently
Compared to conventional solutions, Indra's technology requires 25 percent less energy to operate, saves 40 percent operating cost, and requires 85 percent less manpower to recover 99 percent wastewater
Multiple startups are applying innovation to address various aspects of sustainability and pollution, and creating new-age products with multiple use cases. Read about some key companies here.
Globally, most wastewater goes untreated and less than 1 percent is reused. In India alone, there are zero-discharge regulations, and 74 percent of wastewater goes untreated; 600 million people face high to extreme water stress, and water demand is likely to double by 2030. Identifying these as problems that need addressing, Amrit Om Nayak and Krunal Patel launched Indra Water in 2018.
Indra is pioneering decentralised treatment of wastewater with its patented electrically-driven modular systems at the point of source. “Our solution recovers up to 99 percent of the water for reuse applications. We are the only broad-spectrum pollution removal process and can handle complex and difficult oxygen demanding pollutants, suspended and dissolved pollutants, oil and grease, pathogens, and heavy metals, among others,” says Nayak, co-founder and CEO.
Compared to conventional solutions, Indra’s solution requires 25 percent less energy to operate, saves 40 percent operating cost, occupies 80 percent less space, generates 70 percent less sludge and requires 85 percent less manpower.
