Established in the year 2000, Organica Biotech has evolved into a successful biotech company, serving its customers in over 45 countries. OBPL’s key innovations include natural, eco-friendly products for ETP and STP (primary and biological system), nallah or canal bioremediation, lake bioremediation, and bio-toilets. Vishal Dethe, Sr. Technical Manager, Organica Biotech Pvt. Ltd. emphasises on the optimal usage of eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies to treat wastewater.
A different approach to treat waste waterThe varied nature of effluents, from different industries makes it difficult to specifically degrade the pollutants in the effluent water. The effluent requires to undergo several levels of treatment in order to attain the discharge norms laid down by the Pollution Control Board. After primary treatment, the effluent undergoes biological treatment. This is the most crucial level of treatment, as it requires the right consortium of microbes in the right concentration, to reduce the organic pollutants effectively. Effective biological treatment can ensure substantial reduction in COD, BOD, ammoniacal nitrogen, sludge, odour, and energy consumption, thereby making it an environment-friendly, and safe process. In addition to this, due to reduction in use of harmful and toxic chemicals, the treated water quality is also enhanced. Organica Biotech Pvt. Ltd. does just this. OBPL has isolated and maintained a bank of more than 3,000 strains of microbes. These microbes have been selectively identified to provide multiple benefits.
Explaining the current trends in procurement of waste water treatment solutions Vishal Dethe said, “Industries are looking for a shift from costly, toxic and harmful products to cost effective, environmental friendly solutions to treat waste water. In addition, industries are also focusing heavily on reducing CAPEX / OPEX and also recycling maximum amount of treated water for landscaping and toilet and flushing.”
Buying factorsAs the need for waste water treatment is becoming increasingly important, there are plenty of options available in the market. Commenting on the factors to be analysed, before making the decision of procuring waste water treatment solutions, Vishal Dethe said, “A buyer should consider all major factors that play a role in treating waste water. Waste water cannot be treated using a single stage technology. It involves various treatment processes with varied stages of treatment. A buyer should make maximum use of eco-friendly, cost-effective technologies to treat waste water.”
Major innovationsVishal Dethe, a specialist in the field of bio-remediation, has also observed that chemical treatment, to a significant extent, is being slowly replaced by eco-friendly biological treatment. “Research and innovations in the  field of biotech and microbiology field have resulted in the development of beneficial microbial strains. These strains have been found to be very effective in treating waste water with minimal cost and maximum efficacy,” he adds.
Increasing awarenessOf late the Indian industry has understood and realised the importance of advanced treatment technologies to treat waste water. According to Vishal Dethe, “Due to uneven rainfall, water shortage and the increasing level of water pollution, the Indian industry feels the need to reuse and recycle the treated waste water.”
USP of Organica BiotechOBPL is dedicated to continuous research and development of microbes for varied applications in treating waste water. Responding to a question on why should a buyer opt for OBPL’s waste water treatment solutions, Vishal Dethe assures, “Our 15 years of rich experience in the field of research and development has helped industries to treat their waste water using our robust and customised microbial formulations. The treatment can be carried out in an existing system without any major modifications. Using our biological products, our clients have not only treated their wastewater effectively but have also managed to reduce chemical consumption and electricity usage.”
