With a populace of two million depending on the diminishing quality of water from the Yamuna River, traditional methods fell short of meeting strict standards and providing the city with a sustainable solution. The Agra water treatment plant faced seasonal variations, increased ammonia levels, and the influx of contaminants from upstream Sewage Treatment Plants. These challenges required the implementation of a new approach to ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality drinking water.

Sustainable Solutions: Navigating India's Drinking Water Challenges
Overview: With a populace of two million depending on the diminishing quality of water from the Yamuna River, traditional methods fell short of meeting strict standards and providing the city with a sustainable solution. The Agra water treatment plant faced seasonal variations, increased ammonia levels, and the influx of contaminants from upstream Sewage Treatment Plants. These challenges required the implementation of a new approach to ensure the delivery of safe and high-quality drinking water.
BlueGen Water Solution: In partnership with Indian engineering firm Triveni Engineering & Industries Ltd., Aqwise has developed a comprehensive physical-biological treatment system to address pollution in rivers. The system includes pretreatment units, a Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR) tailored for soluble pollutant removal, and an Ultra Filtration system for solids separation before the treated water undergoes disinfection. Subsequently, the clean water is channeled into the city’s drinking water distribution system, ensuring access to safe potable water for all residents.
A multi-stage treatment process, merging MBBR and UF membrane separation, guaranteed an increased plant capacity. This enhancement provided flexibility to supplement the river’s feed with water from the Ganga River, thereby improving overall water quality.
Aqwise’s technology facilitates potable water supply to 2 million residents of Agra, India, representing a highly innovative biological drinking water system.
Situated on Israel’s Mediterranean Sea coast, Bat-Yam, south of Tel Aviv on the Central Coastal Plain, confronts a significant challenge with its well water. These wells contain elevated levels of organic contaminants, detergents, and Simazine, prompting the need for an upgrade to align with the latest Israeli standards for drinking water quality.
