Waste Water
Delivering Cost-Efficient Solutions In Renewable Energy
- India has the capacity to treat approximately 37% of its wastewater, or 22,963 million litres per day (MLD), against a daily sewage generation of approximately 61,754 MLD
- Currently, Industries generate 13,468 MLD of wastewater of which only 60% is treated
- 2016 Green Peace report states, coal based power plants in India consume 4.6 billion cubic meters per year. Also, water scarcity can shutdown plants and trigger significant financial losses (7 billion units of generated electricity, resulting in a 320M $ loss for the plants in 2016)
- Tightening regulations on water discharge from industrial, business would need to find viable ways to combat the growing costs incurred by these challenges
- Nagpur is set to become the first Indian city that will recycle more than 90% of the sewage water it generate. Recycling 480 million litres of the total 525 million litres per day (MLD) is generated in the city
