Pollution In Water Bodies

Earth’s Massive Ecological Problem - Striving For A

Natural Ecological Solution
Opportunity
Practically all water bodies are affected at various
pollutants. We wish to design a single solution that
takes care of all pollutants

 The proposed solution
Technical Details (1/2)
We have products already in market based on Bio
oxygenation technology and being used widely.
We also have a patent IN 201811011885 titled
BIOREMEDIATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOVING
DAMAGING HEAVY METALS FROM INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS .
Now we want to look for more species to degrade plastic as
well as fecal matter and oil so that we form one solution that
takes care of all pollutants. Such a mixture should take care
of all kinds of pollutants. It can be a powder or a liquid a final
form yet to work out but the solution is one magic solution
to treat all kinds of pollutants.

(Or Supporting Evidence)
Proof part-2

The electron microscopy TEM with EDX to show that chromium is located
inside the cell.
Novelty: M a n y i n d i v i d u a l s o l u t i o n s a v a i l a b l e
.we are looking for one solution to do maximum
number of pollutants.

 Feasibility: I n d i v i d u a l l y w o r k h a s b e e n d o n e .
W e h a v e v a r i o u s p r o d u c t s a l r e a d y. B u t w e w i s h t o
research and make one solution that fits all.

 IP Strategy: The entire solution

will be open to a patent and we
will work on this with your
organisation.
Market size: Practically all water bodies
big or small affected .hence a large
market size.
Data: India has an extensive network of inland waterways in the
form of rivers, canals, backwaters and creeks. The total navigable length
is 14,500 km (9,000 mi), out of which about 5,200 km (3,200 mi) of the river
and 4,000 km (2,500 mi) of canals can be used by mechanized crafts.
Assuming 90% to be affected it will be 13050 kms of water bodies.
Even if we are not doing all at least 10,000 kms of water bodies can be
done.

Competitive Landscape
a) Today: Not many competitors
b) In next 5 years –large scope to clean.
• Completely natural by Bioremediation and
Bioaugmentation.
• This will be one solution of most common
problems found in water bodies.

Mention what is the Value Proposition: By

such a solution and easy to use we believe we will be able
to clean all water bodies in the country at least.
Even other places can be tried later.
When do you plan to set up your startup?
started in April 2017.
Have you discussed about your solution with Target Customers? How many >100,>50,>25,>10,>5, None? What is the
feedback?
a. Financial/scale of investment barriers
b. Expansion of technical/promotional team members
c. Customer validation at Government level
d. Establishment of new products development using our technology for private public usage
The concept of treating water bodies depend on who is coming up with cash, in this case, the civic and
government bodies who own the water bodies. In India as elsewhere, bureaucrats look for precedents
to try out anything new to them. We have done a number of demo/pilots trials proactively and
submitted the results along with photographic proof to the clients. They are impressed, but owing to
what is said above, we are kept in limbo. At the end of this questionnaire, we can attach some case
studies in support of our work done so far.
Our efforts are bearing fruit as we are one of the four shortlisted out of 1000 of companies applied to
the EOI of National Mission for clean Ganga (NMCG) being one of them who has responded to EOI last
year we are one of the only few companies shortlisted out of 250+ of applicants to prove their
innovation.
Our work has been noticed by Water Department of Chandigarh Administration and they have
asked us to perform in one of their lakes in Chandigarh. We are awaiting their response.
Have you discussed your solution with business mentor? What is
the feedback?
Key industries where bioremediation is becoming an increasingly critical need are
sugar, textiles, leather, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, paper & pulp,
agriculture, and distilleries. While currently the wastewater treatment sector is the
dominant user of bio-remediation, possibilities are emerging for remediation of all
three major types of pollutants – solid, liquid, and air pollutants
 Projected Time to Hit the Market
 3-5 yr Road Map
a)Immediately and simultaneously we would work on isolating other
microorganisms like pesticide degraders, plastic degraders and fecal matter
degraders and oil simultaneously.
b) Next 6 months to grow them as mixture and conduct lab trials
c) Last six months to conduct field trials and carry on studies and on site
experiments.
d) May need another six months to validate our studies in different geographical
areas.

concerns
The proposed concept is novel and Positive.Nothing being done.
the phytoplanktons available in sea
as well as fresh water and can be
tried for treating wastewater. The
strength of the proposal is that it is
natural, and Government has been
making attempts to clean water
bodies like rivers, lakes etc. there
fore the product can help that effect.

According to “project summary”, The suggestions added.

“data novelty”, “opportunity” and
“preliminary work done” the project
is related to development of powder
(trace element) which will be used
for growth in phytoplankton
