Description

Now-a-days many developing countries cannot afford the wastewater treatment processes as they are costly, need more space to construct the treatment plant and in addition use of chemicals for the treatment. Vermifiltration is one of the simple, low cost,ecofriendly,chemical free technique used to treat the canteen wastewater using the Eisenia fetida earthworm species.The earthworms are potentially capable of digesting the waste organic material and reduce it through ingestion.It is considered to be an innovative ecofriendly technology that provides a sustainable solution for the treatment of wastewater with no sludge generation and treatment.Our aim is to design estimate and such a water treatment plant in our college canteen using vermifiltration method.
