A new indigenous mechanized scavenging system has been successfully demonstrated.
It was developed within eight months by CSIR-CMERI.
The system was benchmarked with the available system in the Indian market.
Its exclusive features make it the first of its kind system in India.
The commonly used rodding mechanism may erode the inside surface of the sewer pipe.
CSIR-CMERI’s system uses a high flow rate system jetting pump which exerts high force to clear the blockage.
The collected sludge may not directly be useful for agricultural purpose.
It is recommended to use the pyrolysis process to convert sludge into useful products.
