The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Researchers at BITS Pilani, Hyderabad have developed a low-energy, three-stage technology to treat biopharmaceutical wastewater, a difficult industrial effluent containing live micro-organisms, residual antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes.
- The system uses electrical pulses to disinfect, biological treatment to remove organic pollutants, and an anaerobic reactor that converts sludge into methane-rich biogas, recovering both water and energy.
- The laboratory-scale technology, supported by the Department of Science and Technology, is being taken forward for industrial deployment with vaccine maker Biological E. Ltd., and the core disinfection process has been filed for an Indian patent.
What to watch next
- Progress of the technology towards industrial-scale deployment with Biological E. Ltd.
- Outcome of the Indian patent filing for the core disinfection technology
- Peer review of the research paper detailing the findings
