A Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) is a facility designed to treat wastewater generated from homes, businesses, and industries. It removes contaminants, including solids, organic matter, and harmful microorganisms, to produce treated water that is safe for reuse or discharge into the environment. STPs play a critical role in conserving water, protecting public health, and ensuring environmental sustainability.

Why do we need an STP?

Wastewater is a growing challenge in urban and rural areas.

Without proper treatment, it can lead to severe environmental and health issues. Here’s why sewage treatment plants are critical:

Conserves
Freshwater Resources

STPs prevent untreated wastewater from entering rivers, lakes, and oceans, protecting aquatic ecosystems and preserving biodiversity.

Enables
Water Reuse

Wastewater once treated can be reused for non-potable purposes such as landscaping, flushing, and industrial purposes, reducing pressure on freshwater resources.

Ensures Public
Health Safety

Wastewater contains harmful pathogens and toxins that can spread diseases. STPs eliminate these risks, ensuring a healthier environment.

Meets
Environmental Regulations

Governments mandate wastewater treatment to prevent pollution and promote sustainability. Non-compliance can lead to fines and penalties.

Our Advanced
STP Technology: MBR

At Banka Bio, we utilize cutting-edge Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology, which combines biological treatment and advanced membrane filtration. This innovative process produces high-quality treated water, requires less space, and offers superior efficiency compared to conventional systems.

Sewage Treatment Plants

The Safest way to Collect, Treat and Reuse or Dispose Wastewater.

  • What is a bio-toilet?
    A bio-toilet is a toilet that uses a bio-digester instead of a septic tank. The bio-digester contains specially cultured bacteria that break down human waste into water, methane, and carbon dioxide, eliminating the need for manual cleaning or sewage disposal.
  • How does a bio-toilet work?
    A bio-toilet connects to a bio-digester tank, where anaerobic bacteria decompose human waste into gas and liquid. The gas can be vented or used for energy, while the treated liquid can be safely discharged into the soil or used for irrigation.
  • What is a bio-digester?
    A bio-digester is a system that replaces septic tanks that utilizes anaerobic bacteria to decompose human waste into water.
  • Do bio-toilets smell bad?
    No, bio-toilets do not produce foul odors when properly maintained. The digestion process eliminates harmful gases, and the treated output is odor-free.
  • How often do bio-toilets need maintenance?
    Bio-toilets require NO maintenance. The bacteria in the bio-digester function continuously, reducing the need for manual intervention.
  • Can bio-toilets be installed in rural areas?
    Yes, bio-toilets are ideal for rural areas, remote locations, and places without sewage infrastructure.
  • What happens if harsh chemicals are used in a bio-toilet?
    Over-use of harsh chemicals like bleach and acid-based cleaners can kill the beneficial bacteria in the bio-digester, reducing its efficiency. It is recommended to use in moderation.

Stage 01

Wastewater Inflow

Wastewater from various sources, such as kitchen drains, toilets, laundry, industrial processes, and even stormwater, enters the treatment plant. This water can contain oils, chemicals, food waste, and harmful bacteria.

Stage 02

Biological Treatment

From this wastewater, microorganisms break down organic waste, such as food and chemicals, into simpler substances. This natural process reduces the pollutant load in the water, making it safer for further treatment.

Stage 03

Membrane Filtration

The treated water passes through advanced membranes that act as filters, removing tiny particles, bacteria, and viruses. This ensures the water is clear, safe, and free from contaminants.

Stage 04

Clean Water Outflow

The final treated water is of high quality and can be safely reused for various purposes, such as  for flushing toilets, irrigation in agriculture, landscaping in parks and gardens, cooling in industrial processes, and more. This reduces the demand for freshwater providing water security.
