Accentuating Sustainability in Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Solutions with Terra S  

Navigating water pollution issues stemming from inadequate treatment procedures isn’t new to us. Then what is new? Identifying and adopting the right strategy to reuse water for the better. This is what the small community in the US did when they sensed the first hint of water scarcity. Reminder: This is a fable with a moral for every human being who dreams of preserving earth with all its splendor and green.

 

This community in the West of US had a centralized water treatment facility for recycling grey water for their garden, lawn and toilet water needs. However, when many households complained about extortionate pollution rate in the treated water, many wise heads suggested the decentralized wastewater treatment strategy as a potential solution. But the community, which is home to almost 100+ households and over 10 business units, was skeptical about the decentralization concept. Even the local authorities raised their eyebrows fearing overt responsibility. The pollution levels bumped towards sensitive eco-systems, leading to scarcity of fresh water (as many households started relying on fresh water for gardening purposes), and wastewater experts and environment engineers were called. Their remedy took the community back to the drawing board: A decentralized wastewater treatment project.  

Benefits of Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Plants 

Here is the list of benefits of decentralization project suggested by the environmental experts: 

  • Improved Water Quality Management 
  • Reduces the risk of large-scale contamination events  
  • Allows for tailored treatment based on specific local water quality needs 
  • Flexibility and Scalability 
  • Easily adaptable to varying population sizes and local conditions 
  • Can incorporate new technology  
  • Environmental Sustainability 
  • Minimizes water transport, reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint 
  • Enables water reuse closer to the source, promoting local water conservation 
  • Cost-Effectiveness 
  • Lower initial infrastructure costs compared to centralized systems 
  • Easier and more affordable to expand or upgrade as needs change 

Terra S: A Smart Investment for Proficient Decentralized Water Treatment Solutions 

The municipal authorities took up the initiative of designing an advanced decentralized water treatment system with a renowned water tech company. The decision to undertake the huge project was backed by the timely intervention of expert opinions. One such suggestion was to install controllers to optimize resource utilization and monitor water treatment for efficient management. The authorities gave this a second thought because of budget constraints and lack of technical expertise. “If a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing well”. Hence, they decided to do the job with perfection.  

Without a second thought, they approached the perfectionist in IoT water treatment solutions, TerraConnect, for the best management solution. We were exalted to be a part of the project that underscored the need for sustainability with the help of technology. We recommended Terra S, our energy-efficient controller with remote monitoring features as seamless micromanagement was the need of the hour.  

These following salient features of Terra S that attracted them 

  • A single controller with auxiliary relays to control the pump, and dosing system. Hence, an all-in-one controller for electrolysis/hydrolysis, chemical dosing, and pump regulation 
  • 3.5” SPI TFT LCD Resistive Touch Display for real time monitoring of data 
  • Dual dosing system for enhanced pH maintenance 
  • 32-bit processor architecture with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capability 
  • Wide spectrum of sensors for pH, ORP, TDS, temperature, and flow switch 
  • SMPS supported efficient power management 
  • Long lasting Titanium electrode to save you from intermittent maintenance issues 
  • Also suitable for mobile water units for seamless water treatment on the go  
  •  Ideal for small footprint design-based architecture for eco-conscious living    
  • Can seamlessly be connected to the solar panel for easy current from clean energy source  
  • Perfect for off-grid water treatment procedure  
  • Comprehensive controller integrating advanced IoT technology with ethical sustainability practices   

Above all, Terra S is designed for meeting water treatment management needs with efficient energy savings. Our clients were impressed by its functionality of saving upto 40% of energy consumption. After all, the community prioritized planet friendly approaches and Terra S was the right fit for meeting their challenge.   

The story continues as the project keeps going as expected and the whole community is looking forward to better treated water, now with a sense of satisfaction. They have taken the first step towards a sustainable future making the best use of digital advancement.  

This is not just the story of one community but many clients who approach us aspiring IoT digital upgradation with an eco-conscious and sustainable approach.
