Project Overview

Nearly 72% of the sewage generated in the India is untreated and ends up in stormwater drains and further into lakes and rivers. Phoenix NEEL installed in Chennai is a rugged water reclamation system capable of treating open-drain sewage from stormwater drains, rivers and lakes to recyclable standards and construction water standards. These systems are portable and can be installed without much civil construction. These system is installed in urban region without sewer netwo…

Nearly 72% of the sewage generated in the India is untreated and ends up in stormwater drains and further into lakes and rivers. Phoenix NEEL installed in Chennai is a rugged water reclamation system capable of treating open-drain sewage from stormwater drains, rivers and lakes to recyclable standards and construction water standards. These systems are portable and can be installed without much civil construction. These system is installed in urban region without sewer networks to reduce river pollution. The system is installed at a construction sites to reclaim water from nearby open-drains to produce construction quality water used for the building/infrastructure construction.

Project Narrative

Adyar river is highly polluted and flows through Chennai city. This has led to significant deterioration of the environment around along with groundwater contamination. Phoenix NEEL was set up at a construction site along the river to extract construction quality water from the polluted river. The treated water is used for construction activities and is significantly reducing the need for freshwater for this purpose. Thus, this is improving the access of freshwater for primary applications. 100,000 Litres of water is reclaimed each day from this system.
