DRDO
bio
digester
Key
benefits
Zero maintenance
No need to evacuate the digester tank at all
as NO SLUDGE is formed
All faecal matter completely digested and
converted into water, methane ( bio gas) and
CO2
Bio digester tank sealed tank construction no mixing with ground water
When implemented in SATURATION
MODE and at every household, saves huge
cost to Govts in design of city/municipal
drainage systems (small drain pipes, less
labour)
Rivers, lakes and water bodies will become
clean on its own in a short period - as raw
sewage do not enter
Huge cost saving for govt on health care
especially towards BPL families that depend
on open source water
No need for STP as effluent from BIO
DIGESTER is "safe"
Inauguration at Orissa

Bio Digester
I was very happy to learn that DRDO in collaboration with FICCI has
commercialised bio-toilet that promises to solve the problem of open
defecation in rural India. If this green, cost effective flush and forget
technology is successfully implanted, it will give a big boost to our Total
Sanitation Campaign. Application of technology to social benefit
programmes should be expanded further.
