Eco-Friendly Greywater Treatment at Le Yercaud Resort

by admin on 15-09-2023

Green Connect has recently undertaken a commendable project aimed at treating the graywater (Gray water is wastewater generated from sources other than toilets, such as sinks, showers, and laundry) produced by the picturesque Le Yercaud Resort. This initiative showcases the organizations commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly solutions for water management. The projects success lies in its innovative use of DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System) technology, which not only preserves precious resources but also operates without the need for electricity.

At the heart of this project is a meticulously designed system capable of treating 1000 liters of greywater, a design skillfully crafted by one of Green Connects own experts. To implement this design, prefabricated tanks were supplied and swiftly installed, taking just a week for erection and commissioning. Remarkably, the entire system is installed underground, minimizing visual impact and harmonizing with the resorts lush surroundings.

The DEWATS technology employed here is a three-step process that relies on natural mechanisms. It begins with anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break down organic matter, followed by aeration. During the aeration process, the utilization of canna Indica plants helps absorb the nutrient content from the gray water, facilitating additional purification. Finally, UV treatment is utilized to ensure the water reaches the desired clarity. The result is pristine, treated water that aligns with the highest environmental standards
