Managing wastewater with Biomimicry Technologies

About Biomimicry

Biomimicry Technologies Private Limited has developed an innovative Water Filtration System with Biodegradable Bead-Based Treatment, specifically designed to treat municipal wastewater and repurpose it for sustainable uses such as public park irrigation and toilet flushing. This eco-friendly technology reflects a commitment to addressing urban wastewater challenges with a focus on pollutant degradation, water reuse, and resource conservation.


The system stands out for its ability to process large volumes of wastewater, offering a practical solution to urban water management problems. By employing biodegradable bead-based treatment, it aligns with sustainable development goals, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Biodegradable bead-based wastewater treatment

    System Design and Capacity

  • Treatment Capacity: 20,000 liters per day.
  • Modular structure allows seamless integration into urban infrastructure.

    • Treatment Stages

  • Stage 1 : Collection of raw sewage directly from the sewer line.
  • Stage 2 : Initial filtration using strainers to remove larger particles.
  • Stage 3 : Advanced filtration and biodegradation using biodegradable beads, resulting in treated water ready for reuse.

    • Performance Metrics

  • Reduction of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) to acceptable levels.
  • Elimination of suspended solids and significant improvement in water clarity and turbidity.

    • Analysis Standards

  • Parameters such as pH, electrical conductivity, and chemical composition are assessed using standardized techniques (Richards, 1954; APHA, 1998).
  • BOD and COD are calculated using Winkler titration and Open Reflux Method, respectively.
  • Testing includes sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, carbonate, and bicarbonate concentrations.
