Industry Background and Problems
Hospitals and healthcare facilities generate significant volumes of wastewater that are complex and highly contaminated, containing pathogens, pharmaceuticals, chemical residues, and organic matter. These effluents pose public health and environmental risks if not properly treated before discharge. Municipal water supplies used in hospitals must meet stringent purity requirements for drinking, dialysis, sterilization, and laboratory uses. Increasing regulatory scrutiny and sustainability goals require hospitals to adopt advanced water and wastewater treatment solutions tailored to their unique challenges. Furthermore, hospitals often face constraints on space and require systems that operate reliably with minimal downtime and operator intervention.

Hospital effluent typically contains high biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nutrients, and a wide spectrum of micro-contaminants. With rising antimicrobial resistance, managing microbiological safety in treated water and wastewater is critical, alongside ensuring the safe disposal of hazardous medical wastes. The variable nature of flows and loads, along with the sensitive nature of healthcare environments, demands highly reliable, flexible, and compliant water treatment infrastructure.
Our Approach to Solving the Problems
Sarvo provides integrated, customized water and wastewater treatment systems designed specifically for healthcare facilities. Our solutions cover the full spectrum—from potable water generation using multi-stage purification (ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and EDI) to advanced sewage and effluent treatment employing biological processes (MBR), chemical dosing, and disinfection. Seamless integration with existing facility infrastructure minimizes disruption while ensuring uninterruptible service delivery.
To address wastewater, Sarvo offers turnkey Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) capable of reducing BOD, COD, pathogens, and emerging contaminants, coupled with sludge handling and disposal units. For small to medium facilities, modular compact plants allow fast installation and operation. Automated controls combined with remote monitoring and AI algorithms ensure consistent compliance with regulatory standards such as CPCB and WHO guidelines, maximize resource recovery, and minimize operational costs.

Customer Case Study: Amrita Hospital
Sarvo successfully executed a comprehensive water and wastewater treatment project for Amrita Hospital, a leading healthcare institution. The plant included an advanced RO and EDI based potable water system ensuring consistent supply of ultrapure water for critical medical applications. For wastewater, Sarvo deployed a state-of-the-art MBR based effluent treatment plant effectively reducing organic load and microbiological contaminants to meet strict environmental discharge norms.
An integrated MVR evaporator module achieves zero liquid discharge by concentrating and drying process rejects, significantly reducing wastewater volume. Automated process controls enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, reducing operational costs and ensuring uninterrupted services. This turnkey solution has enhanced Amrita Hospital’s sustainability credentials, improved water security, and ensured compliance with regulatory and healthcare standards, reflecting Sarvo’s commitment to safeguarding health and the environment.
