Nature Inspired Technology
Vision Earthcare Technologies Pvt Ltd is a pioneer of Nature based solutions to solve some of the hardest problems facing humankind. Our team is passionately involved in a collaborative development of solutions leveraging the genius of nature and ecology. The Following solutions have been commercialized by our team across India. Most of the research in developing such solutions were undertaken at premier universities by passionate researchers.
Cultured Soil Filters (CSF): CSF technology was first developed by Prof HS Shankar and his students notably Dr Uday Bhawalkar the first generation of Soil Filters were primitive solutions using simple soil beds which paved the way for future improvements. These initial CSF type waste water treatment plants were batch type plants that provided treated water of client desired quality via recycling the treated water. First such plants were demonstrated in 1993 at the Indira Gandhi center in Borivali these initial plants used around 10 sqm/KLD
Soil Bio Technology (SBT): The next innovation in CSF technology was in the use Pheretima elongata earthworms and ruminant cultures in formulated Soil columns for treatment of waste waters. The newer technology used multiple beds and had a better space utilization than the previous generation systems. SBT type systems utilized around 2500 sqm/KLD for sewage treatment. One of main issues faced by SBT type plants is the regular removal of suspended solids that tended to blind the media and reduce the hydraulic percolation rates.
SBT uses only natural materials and it is 100% ecological.
SBT allows user start-stop mode of operation and the plant can be run in intermittent mode, batch mode and continuous mode as per site conditions allowing 100% mission availability under varying conditions.
Continuous Advanced Mite Utilizing System (CAMUS): The break through innovation in using a different type of Soil Ecology. researchers at VEC mentored by Prof HS Shankar and Dr Chandrashekar started work on granular porous media with soil like properties. Their research lead to utilize
CAMUS can easily handle 150% peak loads for a few days by increasing running times as the situation demands.
CAMUS is capable of tertiary treatment (removal of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and heavy metals).
Treated water is antiseptic due to high Dissolved Oxygen levels unlike other treatment technologies.
