Agriculture Sources Pollution Of activities Human Processing Food Industrial wastes Agriculture
Problems caused by Pollution Putrefaction of organics – generation of methane and hydrogen sulfide gas. Bad odor. BOD and COD. Growth of pathogenic bacteria- Diseases Waters with BOD cannot be used for irrigation since plant roots need molecular oxygen. Breeding of Mosquito larvae Contamination of ground water.
Problems ….. Proliferation of blue green algae. Drop in fish growth. Pollution in Oceans helps growth of dinoflagellates (red tides) and jelly fish not finfish. Water cannot be used for drinking or other purposes without treatment
CLEANING POLLUTED WATERS Organics having BOD &COD POLLUTION ANAEROBIC BACTERIA Bad Smell Incomplete Treatment Pollutes Ground Water AEROBIC BACTERIA Complete Treatment No bad Smell Requires Oxygen
Current methods of treatment No treatment : Anaerobic bacteria generate Hydrogen sulfide gas and methane- Stink-- Nitrates , nitrites and organics in ground water. Treatment: Sewage treatment plants Aerators – Oxygen --Activated sludge process –Aerobic bacteria – Sludge removal Investment—Power--Running cost--Capacity restriction--Location and land
1 LITRE NUALGI FOR 4 MILLION LITRES OF WATER Nualgi Technology 11LTR 1 LITRE NUALGI FOR 4 MILLION LITRES OF WATER Photosynthesis Diatom Algae grows in water Zooplankton and fishes clean up the water body. Aerobic bacteria breaks down organics Produces pure oxygen by Photosynthesis under water
Nualgi Technology - Benefits Cleaning polluted lakes, rivers, Oceans Global carbon sequestration Repopulating rivers and Oceans with fish. Mosquito control Boosting low cost and high productive agriculture. Growing nutritious food and health benefits.
Nualgi treatment of sewage polluted lake
Sahibabad Drain, Ghaziabad, India Started On 8/10/2015 for 3 months Case Study Of Nualgi Based Treatment at Sahibabad Drain, Ghaziabad, India Started On 8/10/2015 for 3 months
Sahibabad Drain @ Brij Vihar Dosing of Nualgi (Diluted in water)
Observations post Dosing Bubbles of oxygen rising to the surface and creating ripples on the surface
Sludge at the bottom tends to rise to the top and break down due to aerobic bacteria
Pre and Post Treatment Samples in 13 days

Other typical cases Ooty lake treatment is done with Nualgi Lakes Exporting to USA where Lake savers and Clean flo are using this technology to treat lakes Treatment of domestic effluents of 6 lakh litres / day in Brigade Gateway Bangalore using Nualgi technology in existing ETP in the cellar. Blowers have been switched off and output tested meets pollution control norms. LED lamps used for photosynthesis.
