Technology
Separate first, treat second
Because only liquid reaches the plant, there are no sludge pumps, no presses and nothing for an operator to babysit. The separation stage itself runs on flush energy alone.
01
Separation
Flush momentum, centrifugal force and gravity part solids from water. No motors, no power, no chemicals.
02
Bio-chamber
Solids dry and compost naturally. Bacteria convert up to 95% into vapour and CO₂, leaving a scoop of soil.
03
Liquid treatment
98% of the liquid joins grey water for aeration and ozonation — a far lighter load than mixed sewage.
04
Polish & reuse
Sand and carbon filtration plus UV disinfection deliver water for gardening, flushing or chiller make-up.
What comes out the other end
Readings from the 50 KLD Aquatron® retrofit at WeWork BlueOne Square, Gurgaon — combined inlet versus final treated water. Every parameter clears NGT and CPCB limits.

Against MBBR, SBR and MBR
A 75 KLD villa layout costs ₹1.64 Cr as a conventional plant and ₹88.9 L with Aquatron® — 45.8% less upfront, and an AMC of ₹3.2 L instead of ₹15 L.
