Organic Solutions provides natural and sustainable solutions for waste water treatment. They have successfully enhanced the efficiency of over 50 existing sewage treatment plants and ETPs. Their process involves introducing beneficial microbes that form biofilms, increasing the microbial load and stabilizing the plant. This leads to reduced sludge production, suppression of odor, and meeting pollution control standards while lowering treatment costs.

5. Taking regular feedback
6. Handhold till plant stabilizes
www.organicsolutions.in

30. Brief Mechanism- Growth of Beneficial Microbes
OS Microbes grow rapidly in the
plant by using the organic load as
the substrate
OS microbes create an
environment where native and
beneficial microbes become the
dominant species
These beneficial microbes along
with OS microbes form bio-films
in the plant, thereby increasing
the MLSS and stabilizing the
plant
www.organicsolutions.in

31. Brief Mechanism- Reduction of Pathogens
Blend of heterotrophic and
phototropic bacteria
Multi-strain culture based on the
principle of co-existence
Strains are carefully selected
based on metabolic properties
Reduction of pathogens by
‘Competitive Exclusion’ as they do
not get sufficient oxygen and food
www.organicsolutions.in

32. Brief Mechanism- Suppression of Odor
Odor substances are of weak alkaline nature predominantly
represented by ammonia. Ammonia is neutralized by the organic
acids produced by OS microbes
Phototropic bacteria utilizes odor substances like Hydrogen Sulphide
(H2S) as hydrogen donors in its growth cycle
The enzymes and anti-oxidants produced by OS microbes reduce
odor further
Foul odor is emitted in the process of putrefaction. Application of OS
shifts the balance of the environment towards fermentation.
Brief Mechanism- Reduction of Sludge
Primary Sludge serves as a substrate for the rapid growth of OS
microbes
Secondary Sludge is maintained by the process of autolysis – self
digestion

52. OS Composting Models
www.organicsolutions.in

53. Composting Basics
• COMPOST is not a bio-fertilizer. It is a substrate (food) for soil
microbes. They in turn produce the nutrients required by plants
• As a result, you add compost today and see the results much later
• Compost if for SOIL and not for PLANTS while chemical/synthetic
fertilizers are for PLANTS and not SOIL.
• The nutrients in compost cannot be directly used by plants, therefore
NPK value of compost is not that important.
• Compost is a SCIENCE, needs to be understood
• Balance of different type of biomass is a must

54. Composting Basics
Bulking Agents
Energy Materials

55. Composting Basics
•
•
•
•
•
Particle Size – smaller the better (< 0.5 inches)
Mixing – layer by layer or together
Moisture – starting 60-70%
Aeration – essential for aerobic composting
Placement of heaps – Should be made perpendicular to wind
direction for maximum aeration.
• Microbes – composting catalyst is essential
• Types of compost – decomposed or fermented

56. Brief Mechanism - Composting
1.
2.
3.
Process starts with blending of
different kinds of wastes together with
sufficient moisture, nutrients and
porosity.
OS1-SW acts as a catalyst in the
composting process.
The process goes through a number
of temperature phases
•
Initial heating phase where
soluble components are
degraded
•
Thermophilic conditions where
cellulose is degraded. This is
accompanied by loss of
heat, water and carbon dioxide
thereby reducing the mass of
the waste.
•
Curing and stabilization with a
drop in temperatures.

57. Enclosed Composting
1. Select proper place
2. Create an enclosure
3. Soak biomass in diluted
OS1-SW and place inside
the enclosure
4. Mix of green and dry waste
preferred
5. Place kitchen waste in the
centre and bury in
garden/farm waste
6. Maintain moisture

58. Heap Composting
1. Take an idea of wind direction.
Make heap perpendicular for
maximum aeration
2. Look for a place in shade. This is
essential to retain moisture
3. Dilute OS1-sw and spray ground
4. Place a layer of plant waste and
spray OS1-sw culture
5. Place a layer of food waste/animal
waste and spray culture
6. Place a layer of soil (preferably
clay soil) and repeat spraying
7. Go on layering till heap reaches a
height of 3 ft
8. Add bulking agents in between
9. Place cloth or gunny sacks only on
top to retain moisture

59. Pit Composting
1. Dig a pit about 2 ft deep, 8 feet in
length and 4 feet in width
2. Heap the soil separately
3. Spray diluted OS1-sw on soil
4. Make a layer of garden
leaves/grass or weeds
5. Place kitchen waste in center and
cover it with soil after rinsing with
OS1-sw
6. Repeat the process of spraying
each layer and covering with soil,
each time you place fresh waste.

60. Windrow Composting
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
Windrows are made with press
mud/MSW, perpendicular to wind
direction to get maximum aeration
Diluted OS1-sw is sprayed over the
windrows. The dilution ratio depends on
the initial moisture of biomass
Only one time application is required
Roughly 1 litre of OS1-SW mother
culture is required for 10 tons of waste
Turning of the windrows is required to
mix OS1 homogeneously with the
waste and also to facilitate aeration
Initially the temperature of the heap will
rise which would also destroy weed
seeds and pathogens
Compost is ready with 30-45 days
