MAK DRDO ABD Technology for Septic Tank

Revolutionizing Sewage Treatment with DRDO's Anaerobic Bacteria Digestion (ABD) Technology
Human fecal matter poses a significant health risk, contaminating water sources and spreading disease. DRDO’s globally patented Anaerobic Bacteria Digestion (ABD) technology offers a groundbreaking solution for sewage treatment. This innovative process effectively breaks down fecal matter without the need for power or air, creating a healthier environment for all.
How it Works:
The MAK DRDO ABD Septic Tank system utilizes a three-compartment process:
Primary Treatment: A pre-filter removes large non-biodegradable solids.
Anaerobic Digestion: The pre-treated wastewater enters the ABD tank where a consortium of anaerobic bacteria, supported by an immobilization matrix, breaks down organic matter in three stages.
Final Treatment: The treated water, meeting DRDO discharge norms, is suitable for irrigation
S. No | Parameters | DRDO ABD Tank |
1 | pH | 7.0-7.2 |
2 | Turbidity (NTU) | 70-90 |
3 | TSS (mg/L) | 90-120 |
4 | VS (mg/100ml) | 20-30 |
5 | COD (mg/L) | 250-300 |
6 | BOD (mg/L) | 250-300 |
7 | Coliforms((MPN/ml) | 300-350 |
Anaerobic digestion thrives in the absence of oxygen. Inside the ABD tank:
- Anaerobic bacteria multiply rapidly.
- Methane gas, a byproduct of the process, is safely vented.
- Carbon dioxide creates an oxygen barrier, maintaining the anaerobic environment.
- Clean, odorless water is discharged.

Advantages/Features:
- No maintenance required
- RCC tank for lifetime
- No evacuation required for lifetime
- Requires Less Space
- Treated water can be used for irrigation or for groundwater discharge
- Fit and forget type
- Plug and Play Systems – Quick to install and ready to use
- Almost 50% of less CAPEX compared to conventional polluting type Septic Tank
Projects:
- Project Name: Sri Lankan Tamil Refugees DRDA Project
- Project Location: Permabalur, Tamil Nadu
- Project Completion: 2024
