Efficient Microbes

New technologies are being produced to assist in treating wastewaters, conforming to strict environmental regulations. One of these new technologies being proposed is the use of efficient microorganisms (EM). EM technology involves growing, applying, managing, and re-establishing high populations of beneficial organisms in an environment or system. Effective microorganism technology has broadened in the last two decades from agriculture to water treatment, odor control, animal husbandry, human health, and other numerous industrial treatments. This technology is not unique to anyone and is available with many technology partners across the globe, which makes it more sustainable in the future.

EM technology may help mitigate the water crisis by removing impurities from wastewater for recycling. EM acts to purify wastewater by devouring all of its toxins and eliminating the stench of solid waste almost immediately. EM also can absorb toxic gases (for example, hydrogen sulphide and ammonia) and convert them into organic acids, thereby eliminating their foul odor. EM also has been successfully tested in coloured effluents and was found that it was able to reduce the colour more efficiently and consistently.

How does it work ?

The basis for using these EM species of microorganisms is that they secrete enzymes, antioxidants, and metallic chelates. The creation of an antioxidant environment by EM assists in enhancing the solid-liquid separation, which is the foundation for cleaning water. One of the major benefits of the use of EM is the reduction in sludge volume. Theoretically, the beneficial organisms in EM should decompose the organic matter by converting it to carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) while using it for growth and reproduction. Studies have suggested this is the case for wastewater treatment plants and septic tanks. Introducing EM into the anaerobic treatment facilities helps reduce the unpleasant by-products of this decomposition and reduces the production of residual sludge. These factors suggest that, theoretically, EM should assist in wastewater treatment by improving the quality of water discharged and reducing the volume of sewage sludge produced.

Well, it's very simple to put up how technology works. The most challenging part is implementing and sustaining this EM technology, and an even more crucial challenge is selecting the "CORRECT BREED OF MICROBES." The current market trend involves using a set of "READY MADE MICROBES/ENZYMES" and trying to make some site trails with the same. This is where the technology fails. The right approach is to breed the microbes based on Effluent and then try to work with the Effluent as the entire basis of this technology is letting the microbes grow and sustain in an environment suitable for it, and "EVERY WASTE WATER IS DIFFERENT" even though the industry type might be the same.

Thankfully Thermax Chemical Division's complex Biotechnology Lab & highly talented scientists have more than enough expertise to select and breed the right microbes. We are sure this technology can help many industries treat their Effluent in a more efficient & environmentally friendly manner, reduce the dependency on power-intensive treatment methods, and avoid inorganic chemicals.
