Urban sewage

Reclaim. Remediate.

Every city tells the story of its sewage in the color of its rivers. The Thames once choked London. The Seine suffocated Paris. The Ganges carries invisible poison through South Asia.

The reason is brutal in its simplicity:
Globally over 360 billion* litres of wastewater is generated daily. Only 55%* is treated. The rest 162+ billion* litres flows untreated into rivers, lakes, and oceans – poisoning groundwater, creating hypoxic dead zones, and collapsing aquatic ecosystems worldwide.

The Conventional Plant's Major drawbacks

Municipal sewage treatment plants are supposed to be our solution. But conventional biological systems activate sludge, oxidation ditches, lagoons do far more than just treat waste. They generate it:

Methane and nitrous oxide bubble up from anaerobic zones
Open ponds release volatile compounds that foul the air & depletes atmospheric oxygen
Chemical additives precipitate heavy metals, creating toxic sludge
Chemical additives precipitate heavy metals, creating toxic sludge
Open ponds release volatile compounds that foul the air & depletes atmospheric oxygen
Treatment efficiency plateaus at 70-80% for pollutants

And the emissions? They’re staggering.

  • 365 Mn* litres of sewage generated through conventional methods
  • 2,52,000 tonnes* of C02 equivalent emissions generated
Research – Using research-backed emission factors for municipal wastewater plants (0.69 kg CO₂e/m³ for high-efficiency biological systems with anaerobic digestion).

Why Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) Chose a Different Path?

When SMC (Based out of Gujarat, India) recognized that Surat's sprawling lagoons couldn't keep pace with urban growth, they made a strategic decision: Embrace technology that solves the problem at its root, not just masks it. The results speak for themselves:

For Citizens

365 Mn litres of water treated, pure enough for irrigation, safe for eventual discharge
Zero odor + no oxygen depleted: Electrochemical treatment eliminates the foul stench that plagues residential areas near conventional plants
Modular resilience: Due to smart tech If one unit needs maintenance, treated water flow continues uninterrupted
Future-proof: System ensures scalability even in future when population grows but need to acquire more land doesn't arise

For Surat's Ecosystem

Rivers begin to heal as treated, not partially treated, water is returned
Groundwater protection: Heavy metals and persistent chemicals eliminated, not just filtered
Wetlands and water bodies can be revitalized using treated sewage safely
Climate contribution: Equivalent to planting 1.75 million trees in emission prevention alone

For India's Urban Future

Proves municipal sewage can be a resource, not a liability. Due to which Aquatic life can thrive and water bodies grows.
Every 500,000 litres treated daily generates carbon credits worth ₹10.9 lakhs annually
Demonstrates scalable, replicable model for other Indian cities
Aligns with NITI Aayog's 2023 National Framework on Safe Reuse of Treated Water
425 Million Litres Treated
12,700 Tonnes of CO₂ Equivalent Prevented

From managing sewage as waste to managing it as a resource.

This isn't just about compliance. It's about a fundamental shift:

Traditional plants have had 50 years to prove they’re adequate

They’ve failed—not because the technology isn’t competent, but because…

  • It was never designed for this challenge.
  • Methane and nitrous oxide emissions.
  • Chemical-dependent operations.
  • Space constraints in densely populated cities.
  • Low water recovery.
