Innovative Geo-Tube Technology Cleanses Ganga Water for Devotees' Rituals
Key Ideas
  • Geo-tube technology successfully treats 23 drains opening into the Ganga, making water suitable for spiritual use.
  • Biological Oxygen Demand reduced by 40-50% and Total Suspended Solids by 80%, ensuring high-quality purified water.
  • Treated water is further purified with hydrogen peroxide and ozonisation, safeguarding aquatic life and eliminating faecal bacteria.
  • Waste collected in the geo tubes will be converted into fertiliser after treatment, promoting sustainability.
In Prayagraj, India, the state government has implemented Geo-Tube technology to cleanse water from 23 untapped drains before it flows into the Ganga, ensuring it is suitable for spiritual rituals. Through a meticulous process involving the installation of pumps, mixing chemicals, and utilizing geo-tubes, the water undergoes treatment that significantly reduces the Biological Oxygen Demand and Total Suspended Solids levels. The purified water is further processed with hydrogen peroxide and ozonisation to eliminate faecal bacteria, making it safe for release into the river. This innovative approach not only ensures the water quality but also protects aquatic life by using ozonisation instead of chlorination. The waste collected during the purification process will be converted into fertiliser after proper treatment, promoting sustainability. The Geo-Tube technology has proven to be an advanced solution for sewage water treatment, providing millions of devotees with the opportunity to bathe in clean and pure Ganga water during events like Maha Kumbh.
