Case Study: Bio-remediation of JVR Park Lake at Banjara Hills, Hyderabad



Magnatree Ventures Pvt. Ltd., a Mumbai-based company specializing in bio-remediation solutions, undertook a pilot project to restore JVR Park Lake in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. The project was executed with the approval of GHMC (Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation) to demonstrate the efficacy of Magnatree Ventures' microbial consortium technology in treating polluted water bodies.


Initial Condition

The initial survey of JVR Park Lake indicated severe water pollution characterized by:

- High levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)

- Elevated Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)

- Strong foul odor

- Blackish water with visible debris

- High density of mosquitoes

- Untreated sludge at the bottom


Parameters Before Treatment (04.01.2022)

- **pH**: 6.89

- **TSS**: 288 mg/L

- **TDS**: 1086 mg/L

- **COD**: 3200 mg/L

- **BOD**: 990 mg/L

- **Ammonia**: 16.8 mg/L


Bio-remediation Process

Magnatree Ventures employed its advanced probiotic enzyme technology, which includes enzymes derived from a combination of cow dung base and enriched nutrients. These enzymes, produced by beneficial bacteria, react with pollutants in the water, breaking them down into harmless gases and compounds. The enzymes were sprayed over the lake without disturbing the marine life.


Results After Treatment (04.02.2022)

- **pH**: 7.7

- **TSS**: 29 mg/L

- **TDS**: 746 mg/L

- **COD**: 120 mg/L

- **BOD**: 16.4 mg/L

- **Ammonia**: <1 mg/L


Key Improvements

- Significant reduction in TSS from 288 mg/L to 29 mg/L

- Reduction in TDS from 1086 mg/L to 746 mg/L

- COD reduced dramatically from 3200 mg/L to 120 mg/L

- BOD reduced from 990 mg/L to 16.4 mg/L

- Ammonia levels dropped from 16.8 mg/L to less than 1 mg/L


Conclusion

The bio-remediation efforts led by Magnatree Ventures Pvt. Ltd. resulted in significant improvements in water quality, reduction in foul odor, and enhancement of the lake's overall environment. The project showcased the effectiveness of microbial consortium technology in restoring polluted water bodies, contributing to a cleaner and healthier urban environment.

Magnatree Ventures continues to pioneer sustainable solutions for water and waste management, empowering communities to live in greener, safer, and cleaner environments.

Case Study: Bio-remediation of Irlla Nala by Magnatree Ventures Pvt. Ltd.

Image
Magnatree Ventures Pvt. Ltd., a pioneer in bio-remediation and waste management solutions, took on the challenge of restoring Irlla Nala, a heavily polluted water body in Hyderabad. The project aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of Magnatree Ventures' microbial consortium technology in transforming polluted water bodies into cleaner, safer environments. Initial Condition Irlla Nala suffered from severe water pollution due to the continuous dumping of industrial waste and untreated sewage. The primary issues identified were: High levels of Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Elevated Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) Strong foul odor Dark, turbid water with visible waste debris Accumulated sludge at the bottom Parameters Before Treatment pH : 7.2 TSS : 650 mg/L TDS : 1400 mg/L COD : 3800 mg/L BOD : 1100 mg/L Ammonia : 20 mg/L Bio-remediation Process Magnatree Ventures employed its proprietary microbial consortium technology...

The Impact of PFAS Contamination on Water Resources and How We’re Tackling It

Image
  Introduction  PFAS, or Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, are synthetic chemicals that have been widely used in various industrial and consumer products for decades. These "forever chemicals," as they are often called, are incredibly resistant to degradation, making them persistent in the environment and potentially harmful to human health. As concerns over PFAS contamination grow globally, it’s becoming increasingly clear that addressing this issue is critical for the future of our water resources. What Are PFAS and Why Are They a Problem? PFAS are used in products like non-stick cookware, water-repellent fabrics, and firefighting foams due to their durability and resistance to heat, water, and oil. However, their persistence in the environment means they can accumulate in water supplies, leading to contamination of drinking water sources. Studies have linked exposure to PFAS to various health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and immune system effects. The environ...

Collaborative Efforts in Tackling Plastic Waste in India

Image
  India generates an estimated 9.4 million metric tons of plastic waste annually, with only about 50% of it being collected and processed for recycling. The rest often ends up in landfills, water bodies, or is incinerated, causing severe environmental damage. Tackling this issue requires a multi-stakeholder approach involving the government, private sector, civil society, and local communities. In this blog, we will explore how collaborative efforts are helping India manage its growing plastic waste problem. The Plastic Waste Challenge in India India, like many developing countries, is grappling with the rapid increase in plastic consumption, driven by urbanization and industrial growth. Single-use plastics, packaging, and household plastic waste are among the biggest contributors to the overall plastic pollution problem. The inadequacy of formal waste management infrastructure, coupled with unregulated dumping, exacerbates this challenge. While regulations like the ban on certain ...
