The sewage treatment plant at Thane railway station uses moving bed biofilm reactor technology
Thane railway station premises will generate 40 kilolitres of reusable water per day and 100 kg of compost each month thanks to a mega treatment plant that was inaugurated there on Wednesday morning. The station premises includes a railway colony, offices and hospital, and the facility will treat 45 kilolitres of sewage every day.
Amrendra Singh, additional divisional railway manager, Mumbai, said, “The plant will make Thane central railway complex a zero-waste, zero-effluent facility. This complex will no longer burden the over-stressed sewage infrastructure of the Thane municipality. The plant will reduce municipal water consumption by up to 60 per cent. Also, it will produce approximately 100 kg of compost every month for use in our gardens and residential colonies.”
