Go Green Solutions introduces Phytorid technology

These modern technologies will address issues like waste water treatment, sewage treatment, minimisation of dust generation in industrial applications and prevention of odour and gas emissions.

Specialising in green products and green services, Go Green Solutions (Pvt) Ltd guides clients in identifying areas for improvement through green audits of your office, factory, hotel or home, helping in implementation of the improvements by supplying products and technologies, as well as to finally guide a client to a green certification if needed.  

The 100 per cent Sri Lankan company is currently tying up with various international and local partners in order to introduce a range of environment friendly technologies locally.

These modern technologies will address issues like waste water treatment, sewage treatment, minimisation of dust generation in industrial applications and prevention of odour and gas emissions.

Go Green Solutions will also introduce Bio Digester Technology for safer, cleaner mobile toilets.

In addition to all of these technologies being environmentally friendly, they are also cost effective and require minimum maintenance.

The latest technology with respect to sewage and waste water treatment to be introduced by Go Green Solutions was recently presented to the Ministry of Water Supply and Drainage, the Ministry of Environment and the Central Environment Authority by a team of experts who arrived from India, representing their partners, Go Green Solutions India and the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) based in India.

This Phytorid Technology is a cost effective, environmentally friendly method for treating sewage and wastewater: the technology is based on the filtration and treatment capabilities of specific plants, which are cultivated in a plot. Wastewater and sewage is then directed towards the plot, where the plants treat and filter the waste by removing pollutants.

As the method of treating wastewater is entirely natural, no noisy machinery is involved and the bed of plants creates a beautiful garden, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the environment.

The technology only requires a gardener to maintain the plants, thereby requiring minimal maintenance costs.

NEERI of India has the international patent for this technology and has tied up with Go Green Solutions as their exclusive partner for commercialisation of the technology in India and Sri Lanka.

Dr. Rajesh B. Binwale of NEERI who recently visited Sri Lanka to introduce the Phytorid Technology stated that the climatic conditions in the country are ideal for the implementation of this internationally patented technology. In fact, the plants required for treatment grow in abundance in Sri Lanka.

He further added that the technology has been used widely and successfully in countries like India and Bangladesh, where climatic conditions are similar to those in Sri Lanka.

Having met with officials from the Ministry of Environment and the National Water Supply and Drainage Board, Dr. Binwale visited several places in the country where he believes Phytorid Technology can be successfully implemented. He said that the government officials were enthusiastic about introducing the technology to Sri Lanka.

Go Green Solutions, also hopes to introduce a range of new products made using 100 per cent biological material that will make a fresh impact on the Sri Lankan market through their exclusive agency for

EKOGEA products certified by the EU.  One of the new products will be EKO-Accel, an eco friendly product that helps control odour, dust and gas emissions in industrial settings, the cost effective product’s gel-consistency adheres to particulates and controls dust in applications such as mining, construction and agriculture.

EKO-Accel also bio-chemically provides dramatic reduction of the most offensive odours within minutes on contact with waste, manure, sludge etc.

Moreover, gas emissions can be minimised in any industrial application when EKO-Accel is passed through an atomiser.

Another new technology that Go Green Solutions hopes to introduce are the mobile toilets using Bio Digester Technology.

This technology uses a specific type of bacteria that digests waste and leaves behind only a clear, odourless liquid, which is free of pollutants and can therefore be safely disposed of anywhere. In addition to the eco friendly nature of these toilets, they also require minimal maintenance as the need to dispose of waste once the toilets have been used is eliminated.

The clear liquid that is the only by-product is rich in nutrients and minerals and is ideal for irrigating gardens and lawns.
