‘Smart’ Clean-up Methods • Use of toxic chemicals, to suppress the signals. For example, use of alum(heavy metal) and chlorine(toxic gas) to ‘purify’ drinking water! • Production of heavily concentrated waste streams that are disposed off in the neighbourhood, thus polluting the ecology. • Use of chemicals and electricity adds to the pollution levels.

Methodology • Learning from Nature • Nature has evolutionary wisdom of 4.6 billion years. • Learning from traditions, evolved by ‘Man, the wise’, Homo sapiens. • Learning ‘why’ of current household and industrial practices. We have accumulated considerable ‘know-how’, it becomes interesting to understand the ‘why’ aspect now. Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

Nature and Traditions say... • Pollution is nothing but neglected/wasted/spilled raw materials. • Logical strategy to reduce pollution, hence, should be through proper utilization of wasted resources. • Organic molecules only fuel the ‘signals’ of pollution. Destruction of organics produces greenhouse gases and warming, also consumes electricity. Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

Ecological conclusion • Conversion of pollution into resources/profit is need of the hour, to beat recession. • People accept such techniques readily, without any legal pressure.

Nature’s Destruction Equation • Organics+Oxygen+Energy=Carbon Dioxide+ salts + warmth. • Converts 3 Resources into 3 pollutants. • Takes place only if organics are polluted with nitrates. • Odour-pathogens-pests are alarms, warning us about this reaction. • But, it is common to shut these alarms, using toxic chemicals, heat or radiation.

Nature’s Prosperity Equation Salts(from seawater, saline/brackish groundwater , saline soils or flyash) + Air Pollutants + Warmth = Organic Resources (food, fuel and other plant produce) + Oxygen Converts 3 pollutants into 2 resources Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

Why was this reaction neglected? • Engineers are taught material and energy balance. • But they are away from the bio/eco-world. • Ecology and ecological engineering are young, evolving branches. • Only eco-designing can sustain humanity & the planet. Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

• Chemicals are used to suppress the signals.

Learning from Nature • Nature converts seawater into tasty coconut water. • BIOSANITIZER Ecotechnology is based on many such lessons from Nature

BIOSANITIZER(bio-catalyst)-1 • Ecology was spoiled during the past 500 years, due to burning of fossil fuels.

• This increased NOx in air, spoiled water, food, man and his ecosystem/culture.

Ecology Clean-up using Biosanitizer Ecochips 16


BIOSANITIZER(bio-catalyst)-2 • BIOSANITIZER is the remedy. • Grows invisible, high speed, broadband vegetation in water, air or in other fluids. • Helps bring prosperity to all, through increase in high quality plant produce, at minimal cost. Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

17


BIOSANITIZER(bio-catalyst)-3 • Field-tested over the past 24 years. • Just put in a well, borewell, pond, lake or water storage tank. • No recurring expenses. • Produces nourishing organic water and organic air.

BIOSANITIZER Mechanism

• All pollution problems get tackled in low nitrate(NOx) ecosystems.

• Each plant has enzymes that operates in specific band of nitrates. Ecology Clean-up using BioSanitizer Ecochips

Birds from Ashes: The Story of a Flyash Pond at Nashik Thermal Power Station


Birds from Ashes • NTPS uses Godavari water 6 km downstream of Nashik city. • Nashik sewage treatment shifted to BioSanitizer in 2009. • NTPS received and got benefit of well-treated sewage/industrial wastewater. • Ash pond that was toxic until this date, became an ecopark. • Biodiversity was found comparable to other eco-parks.
