WTP Process Uniqueness:

Design and operations of a water treatment plant using  the  Moving  Bed  Biofilm  Reactor  (MBBR) and  ultrafiltration  process  to  treat  the  Yamuna River water. MBBR process was able to achieve a similar level of reduction of ammonia and COD as conventional technology but with a much simpler and cost-effective design. The 144 MLD plant was successfully commissioned at Agra in 2013, and was the first-of-its-kinds water treatment facility in India. Today, it produces drinking water for over 1 million citizens of Agra. This treatment process was well-received by India’s Ministry of Urban Development and has been recommended for other cities
