Urban & Municipal

Key issues include managing large volumes of highly variable sewage, removing pathogens and nutrients to meet discharge standards, controlling odors, minimizing sludge volumes, and addressing energy and operational cost efficiency. Many municipalities require compact, automated, and easy-to-operate systems suitable for a range of population sizes and urban settings.

Sarvo’s Solution Approach

Sarvo provides comprehensive, customized water and wastewater treatment systems designed to meet the complex and evolving needs of urban and municipal applications. Our portfolio includes Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) using advanced biological treatment technologies such as Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) and Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) that deliver superior pathogen removal and nutrient reduction.

Sarvo also designs Water Treatment Plants (WTP) employing multimedia filtration, ultrafiltration (UF), reverse osmosis (RO), and disinfection modules to produce safe potable water compliant with municipal standards. Our systems incorporate automation with PLC/SCADA control and AI-driven monitoring for operational reliability and minimal manpower needs.

To support sustainability goals, Sarvo offers Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions using Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) evaporation technology coupled with sludge handling and drying units. These solutions minimize waste disposal and promote water recycling for urban reuse applications such as irrigation, flushing, and cooling.

Key Technology Highlights

• Biological treatment: MBBR and MBR for efficient sewage treatment with high BOD, COD, and pathogen removal.

• Advanced filtration: Multimedia filters, UF, and RO for potable water production and reuse.

• Disinfection: UV and chemical dosing for comprehensive pathogen control.

• ZLD systems: MVR evaporators and drying for handling rejects and reducing environmental impact.

• Automation and AI: PLC/SCADA systems for process control, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance.

• Modular design: Scalable and compact systems suitable for varied urban population sizes.

• Compliance: Designs meeting CPCB and local municipal water quality and discharge standards.

Customer Case Study: SJPNL Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant, Shimla

Sarvo Technologies successfully delivered a Faecal Sludge Treatment Plant (FSTP) for SJPNL in Shimla, addressing the key challenges of urban sludge management in hilly terrain with limited electricity access. The plant utilizes anaerobic technology to efficiently convert collected toilet waste into biosolids compliant with UPESA regulations, producing clear treated water suitable for subsequent treatment or reuse.

This underground, gravity-based system requires minimal power and operator intervention, making it ideal for smaller urban clusters. The FSTP supports local agriculture by producing nutrient-rich compost and reduces environmental pollution. The clear water produced is further processed in a Sewage Treatment Plant to meet discharge norms.

Sarvo’s design leverages low-cost, effective technology tailored to local needs, demonstrating an innovative and sustainable approach to urban wastewater treatment and resource recovery.
