Did you ever wonder how your waste be treated in the future? As the number of people increases, the wastes produce likewise increase. A research team in National University of Ireland, Galway has developed a new waste water treatment that is more efficient and low in cost. It is called as Pumped Flow Biofilm Reactor (PFBR) waste water treatment technology.

This technology can treat municipal, industrial and agricultural wastes and has a passive efficient aeration process that results to lower energy requirements, thus lower cost. It is consists of two tanks that uses readily available plastic biofilm media and pump in reactor tanks to remove organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus at low costs compared to the traditional waste water technologies. The advantages of PFBR are the following:
- Low Energy Requirement
- Low Maintenance Requirement
- Low Sludge Production
- Excellent Performance
- Simple Construction
- Flexible Installation
The only problem that they have as of now is that who will invest and fund in this project. The PFBR is a solution that will help the whole world and community to properly dispose our wastes in a more effective and efficient way. It does not only help our environment but also ourselves and the future generations as well.

Good thing that this kind of technology is invented. It is clearly elucidated in this blog how this technology will contribute on the waste water treatment. The government must be aware of the inventions, like the one explained, which may give environmental contributions. They must provide funds for this and be more concern on our environment.
ReplyDeleteThe government should consider this new technology and conduct research to be able to adopt this in our current system. If funds are problems, I think they can get investors that will support this innovation or audit the country's budget for the unnecessary expenses.
ReplyDeleteThis technology should also be introduce to the private sectors, this will help them to reduce their cost in water treatment system. I think this a long term investment and they will benefit a lot from it.
