The wastewater treatment industry plays a critical role in combating global water scarcity and pollution. As urbanization, industrialization, and population growth continue to place immense pressure on water resources, the demand for sustainable and efficient wastewater treatment solutions is rapidly increasing. Startups are revolutionizing this space by introducing technologies that enhance efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
At the forefront of these advancements is Team One Biotech, a trailblazer in bioremediation solutions. Dedicated to sustainability, the firm uses cutting-edge science and innovation to develop regenerative solutions across water treatment, sanitation, and hygiene. The firm’s focus on environmental health drives it to create practices that are not only effective but also promote a more sustainable future, tackling water scarcity and pollution with groundbreaking technologies.
Cost-Effective Solution
Team One Biotech is a leader in the wastewater treatment industry, specializing in both industrial wastewater (Effluent Treatment Plants, or ETPs) and sewage treatment (Sewage Treatment Plants, or STPs). While both types of plants operate on similar principles, industrial wastewater is typically more polluted and toxic than sewage. For years, the focus in wastewater treatment has been on improving hardware like machinery, aerators, and processes—while overlooking the crucial software aspect, the microbial systems responsible for breaking down pollutants.
The company addresses this gap by enhancing the biological treatment phase, where 60-90 percent of pollutants are broken down. The firm’s innovative approach optimizes the biology of existing plants, enabling them to handle higher hydraulic and organic loads without the need for costly infrastructure expansion. With expertise in industrial bioremediation, including Lake and Nala bioremediation, and solutions for fecal sludge management, Team One Biotech improves efficiency and helps meet environmental standards while keeping costs low.
“We enhance wastewater treatment by optimizing both biological and physical parameters, making water reuse more sustainable and cost-effective. Our technology ensures that treated water meets discharge norms, enabling its reuse in industrial applications. By improving biological treatment, we reduce the OPEX cost of expensive tertiary processes like reverse osmosis (RO) & MEE. Our solutions also optimize energy use, particularly in aeration tanks, by improving dissolved oxygen transfer efficiency, which significantly reduces electricity consumption while maintaining high treatment performance”, speaks Tejas Gathani, Founder, Team One Biotech.
Sustainable Solutions
The company employs a multifaceted approach to address wastewater treatment challenges. They work directly with industries struggling to meet pollution control board norms and collaborates with big and small OEMs in India & abroad, enhancing the biological efficiency of large-scale wastewater treatment projects. Additionally, they partner with government entities on several initiatives, such as bioremediation of lakes, fecal sludge degradation in public toilets, and improving biogas production.
The company has expanded globally, exporting technology and products to countries like South Africa, Italy, Peru, and England, and is planning to enter markets in Malaysia, the Philippines, Kenya, and Russia. Through these efforts, Team One Biotech is making a significant impact on wastewater management, focusing on the vital need for water conservation and sustainable reuse worldwide.
The company has ambitious plans for the future, aiming to become a global leader in bioremediation solutions. One of their key innovations is Aqua Pulse, a cutting-edge combination of AI, biotechnology and hardware. This system, installed near biological units, uses microscopic imaging to monitor biomass and predict potential issues, optimizing dissolved oxygen levels and reducing energy and chemical costs. Additionally, Team One Biotech is exploring enzyme-based solutions like Bio Blocks and fast-dissolving tablets to enhance bioremediation.
They have been conducting some unique studies with prominent universities across India for FOG, oil spill and soil bioremediation. They are also pioneering nano-bubble technology for lake and river treatment, improving oxygen transfer and efficiency. With these advancements, the company is poised to revolutionize the wastewater treatment industry and play a key role in global sustainability efforts.
