Social responsibility

Sangli, Maharashtra

An ecological sewage treatment plant (Eco- STP) was setup for a 3.5 km nalla in the area. Our work included preliminary survey, where we finalised the site location for the Eco-STP plant. An aquatic plant root-based treated water design was adopted. This easy-to-operate plant has a planted gravel filter-based system, which includes a plastic trap for arresting floating material, and different types of watershed weir for aeration. The results were as per MPCB norms and the treated water is used for domestic as well as farming purposes.
