Improve STP operations for 100% resuse and zero liquid discharge (ZLD).
We invested in treatment and have made the water potable and drink treated water directly. Reject stream from RO is used to wash cars.

Narrative

Builder had built STP and RWA was interested in improving operations to see what quality we could achieve.

The residents embarked on a project to make STP water potable and reuse it to the maximum. Initially we considered handing it over to an operator but after talking with many experts (including Rajesh Shah of PWX), we decided to do it ourselves.

We monitored output water quality and compared with all incoming sources and decided on using treated water for regular consumption (treat it as a potable source).

    Sustainability award

    TZed was honored with the first sustainability award from ApartmentAdda for our pioneering efforts in water conservation.

    Here are a few pictures of our very proud staff with the trophy.

    In the couple of places where Sekar and I have presented our campus water system, we always get the question - "How did you convince the residents to accept this?" And when we tell them that we faced almost no opposition and that the proposal was passed unanimously it is met with utter disbelief followed by a huge applause.

    A big thank you to all the residents for making this possible.

    Visit by KSPCB Chairman

    Chairman of the Karnataka State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) Vaman Acharya and his team visited the community and lauded the residents’ efforts. The team was hosted by Alok Kuchos and the estate manager, who eagerly showed all aspect of the operations and water reuse.

    After he drank the treated water, Mr. Acharya, in a statement, said: “Drinking water and waste disposal problems being faced in the city will reduce substantially if all apartments adopt this technology.”

    The visit got good coverage in the press:

    Visit by PCB SEOs

    At the invitation of Rajesh Shah, we visited STPs in Whitefield. The manager of T-Zed was very happy to share STP operations with us.

    We were very impressed with T-Zed STP and their water reuse - both for drinking and RO reject for washing cars. And the whole environmental outlook of the community. We took a water sample to test at our lab.

    We promised to bring our Chairman to see the STP.

Submit Visitor Note

How it Works

Every field note helps building a history of activity at the project site. Every visit should result in a field note, including visits by peers and 3rd parties. Visits can be before implementation, during implementation and during operational state.

If the field note is during the operating phase of the project, then PWX considers the note as a verification note. Verification can show if the current operating state is different from that in the 'final' report and thus draw attention and resources to resolve issues.

Soon PWX AnalytiX will track the number of projects verified and combine that with the amount of time elapsed since 'completion', to summarize monitoring efforts and the sustainability of projects.
