Adopting technologies in solid waste and wastewater treatment will improve the quality of compost and treated effluents, finds Frost & Sullivan's TechVision team
LONDON, Aug. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Stringent government standards for effluent, a population boom, growing industrialization in isolated locations, and excessive volumes of waste and wastewater generation have highlighted the need for sustainable, reliable, and cost-effective wastewater and solid waste treatment technologies. Decentralized waste and wastewater treatment technologies are being considered because of their low maintenance, economic and environmental advantages, as well as ability to enable the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, relieve the stress of landfills, generate soil amendments, and preserve aquatic ecosystems.
Frost & Sullivan's research, "Decentralized Wastewater and Solid Waste Treatment Technologies," identifies the key technologies, market drivers and challenges, global and regional trends, innovators and innovations across treatment technologies that enable sustainable treatment practices, namely material recovery facilities; aerobic, anaerobic, rapid and vermicomposting systems; sequential batch reactors; upflow anaerobic sludge blanket systems; septic tanks; trickling filters; and biomethanation plants.

"Decentralized solid waste management models and technologies can be installed with the separation of organic, recyclable, and residual solid wastes at source," said Frost & Sullivan TechVision Research Analyst Sharath Thirumalai. "This will reduce the amount of solid waste transported to landfills by 60 percent and play a significant role in improving the quality of compost and treated effluent."
Innovative companies active in the decentralized composting and wastewater treatment market include:
"The adoption of decentralized wastewater and solid waste technologies is restrained by a lack of financial support and incentives," noted Thirumalai. "Governments of developing countries are also not actively working with non-governmental organizations to form public-private partnerships nor educating people in rural and semi-urban areas about the importance of decentralized treatment systems."
Decentralized Wastewater and Solid Waste Treatment Technologies is part of Frost & Sullivan's TechVision (Clean and Green Environment) subscription programme.
