 INTRODUCTION
 Wastewater is generally divided into two categories: black water and gray water.

 Black water refers to toilet waste and gray water refers to the remaining wastewater from sinks, showers, laundry,
etc.

 The septic tank provides primary treatment of both types of wastewater by settling out the solids and providing
space for floating scum to be retained. Relatively clear, but not clean, water is discharged from the septic tank to the
absorption field. The soil provides for further treatment when the waste water percolates through the soil profile.

 Untreated or improperly treated wastewater contains biological contaminants known to cause disease.

 Wastewater is not safe to drink, and discharging this water directly into the environment can pose health and safety
problems.

 After all, this water is part of the water cycle and will eventually make its way into a source for our water supply.
The wastewater must be properly managed to protect human and environmental health and safety.
CHARACTERISTICS OF WASTE WATER

Color Problem indicated

Gray _

Red Blood or other industrial wastes or TNT complex

Green, Yellow Industrial wastes not pretreated (paints etc.)

Brown or other soil color Surface runoff into effluent, also industrial flows
 Temperature
 Changes in waste water temperatures affect the settling rates, dissolved oxygen levels, and biological action.

 The temperature of wastewater becomes extremely important in certain wastewater operations has
sedimentation tanks and recirculating filters.

 Color
 The color of waste water containing Dissolved Oxygen (DO) is normally gray. Black – colored waste water
usually accompanied by Odor: foul odors, containing little or no DO , is said to be septic.

 Odor
 Domestic waste water have a musty odor. Bubbling gas and foul odor may indicate industrial wastes, anaerobic
(septic) conditions,.
 WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT
Reuse Recycle Discharge

• Some relatively clean • Wastewater can be treated (on- • Wastewater is transported to

wastewater can be site or off-site) and reused for an (on-site or off-site)

nondrinking purposes treatment facility, treated, and
reused without treatment
• Closed-loop treatment systems discharged into a water body
• Gray water is
are often used to capture, treat, • These treated water can be
wastewater generated by
and reuse wastewater on-site discharged and reused, which
washing, laundry, and can be used for watering in
bathing (not from toilets) gardens or other washing
purposes
 GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES IN INDIA
• Setting-up an Energy Fund: In the Union Budget 2010-11, the government announced the setting up of the NCEF
for all funding research and innovative projects within clean technologies.

• Initiating Waste Management Programs: Government has set up JNNURM program to fund cities for developing
urban infrastructure and services. These reforms has to be effectively followed

• Budget Expansion: Plan outlay for the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has increased by 61%, from €
99M in 2009-10 to € 160M in 2010-11

• Encouraging Public-Private Partnerships: Through economic incentives, both the central and state governments

are promoting PPPs for the development of infrastructure for environmental service s
 BACTOBOTS
• BactoBots are genetically enhanced microorganisms, created using synthetic biology

• They work like machines and are programed to perform specific tasks.

• They feed upon the micro organisms which causes pollution and produces electricity and biogases in that
process

• This was developed by Pilus energy in January 2013.

• These bots have been proven to be little piranhas

 TYPES OF BACTOBOTS
• There are currently two types of BactoBots designed for use in municipal and industrial wastewater
treatment facilities

• The first, RemediBots, are added directly to wastewater, where they can quickly metabolize over 400
organic contaminants.

• GalvaniBots, the second type, provide equally thorough water remediation.

• They are paired with an electrogenic bioreactor to generate electricity and biogas.
WORKING OF BACTOBOTS
PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION

• The BactoBots are engineered to be housed inside a fuel

cell.
• Waste is added in one end, and the main chamber allows
the Bots to anaerobically metabolize organic compounds
and turn them into electrons and hydrogen ions.
• The electrons travel outside the cell to either power homes
and devices, or to meet up with protons to create water,
methane, and isoprene that can be used to fabricate
synthetic rubber.
• A device no bigger than a 40-foot shipping container
could potentially treat the waste for an entire village in a
developing nation.
 SECURITY OF BACTOBOTS

• BactoBots is cutting-edge, a security device has been built in to the process to avoid theft and duplication.

• A non-toxic, non-polluting, genetic rights management key must be added to the wastewater prior to
BactoBots use.

• BactoBots are programed to recognize this key, and if it isn’t present they will self-destruct.

• This system also provides a level of security against accidental release into the environment.
TOLERANCE OF BACTOBOTS

• They can operate in any temperature from 5 to 50 degrees Celsius.

• They are resistant to heavy metal poisoning.

• They can withstand wide swings in pH.

 ADVANTAGES OF BACTOBOTS
• Reduced wastewater treatment costs

• Creation of a renewable energy source

• Valuable chemical byproducts that could be used towards renewable products

• Higher quality water for both drinking and recreation

• Healthier food due to less contaminates in soil

• Improved ecosystem benefits or services and biodiversity if applied in an entire watershed

 EFFICIENCY OF BACTOBOTS

• They can produce upto 5 kilowatts of continuous dc current per cubic meter of
waste water.

• Greater than 45% efficiency rate at turning waste into energy.

• The anticipated cost is Rs.1.50 per kilowatt compared to Rs.9 per kilowatt .
