Growth has got its own drawbacks. One of them is the stress it creates on the ecology because of the discharge of untreated waste water from industries & habitations. It is estimated that around 60% of effluent generated from Industries & 74% of sewage generated in India goes untreated into the ecosystem. Lack of waste water systems treatment creates a catastrophic effect on the entire civilisation.
To counter this, government, through its various agencies is laying down & implementing stringent discharge norms. Industries are being penalized for not treating their waste water properly. Cities are being provided with hefty grants to set up sewage treatment plants. One such grant is through the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM).
Thermax provides to industries & municipal corporations a host of technologies to treat waste water. The technology spectrum spans across biological treatment, aerobic & anaerobic treatment, physico-chemical treatment, oil-water separation, etc.
