Innovative Water Treatment at Thrissur General Hospital: A Step Toward Sustainability

Thrissur General Hospital in Kerala has taken a major step forward in environmental care with its new water treatment system. This project showcases cutting-edge water treatment innovations in Kerala that are changing how hospitals manage their water use.

Water Treatment Plant at Thrissur General Hospital

 

The hospital now has a modern wastewater treatment plant that can process 360,000 liters of water daily. Built by Green Method Engineering (GME), this system does more than just clean water—it represents a new standard for healthcare facilities in Kerala.

The plant uses special technology called Moving Bed Bio-Reactor (MBBR), which is one of GME's signature sustainable water solutions in Kerala. This project covers everything from design to installation, showing how GME provides complete water recycling solutions for large hospitals.

This advanced water treatment plant can help the hospital reduce its environmental impact. It can be easily done while maintaining the strict cleanliness standards that hospitals require. It's a practical example of how modern technology can improve waste management in hospitals.

The Working of MBBR Technology

 

The MBBR technology used at Thrissur General Hospital is among the most advanced water treatment innovations in Kerala's healthcare sector. Here's how it works:

• The system uses small plastic pieces that are a home for helpful bacteria.
• These bacteria naturally break down harmful substances in the wastewater.
• The result is clean water that meets environmental safety standards.

This technology is ideal for hospitals as they produce wastewater containing medicines, cleaning chemicals, and other substances that need special treatment. The MBBR system effectively handles these challenges, ensuring that water released into the environment is safe.

The 360 KLD (Kiloliters per Day) plant can handle all of the hospital's wastewater, showing GME's commitment to comprehensive water recycling solutions. Compared to older treatment methods, this system:

• Works more efficiently
• Takes up less space
• Performs well even when water flow changes
• Operates reliably

Benefits for the Environment & Economy

 

This sustainable water solution in Kerala's healthcare system brings several important benefits:

Environmental Advantages

 

• Reduces the hospital's freshwater use—important in a state that sometimes faces water shortages
• Prevents untreated wastewater from polluting local water bodies
• Protects fish, plants, and other aquatic life
• Helps reduce overall pollution

Money-Saving Benefits

 

• Provides long-term cost savings despite the initial investment
• Reduces water purchase costs
• Lowers discharge fees
• Decreases the risk of environmental compliance issues
• Uses energy efficiently, further cutting operational costs

The plant also supports Thrissur Corporation's goal of producing zero waste.

Solving Water Challenges in Hospitals

 

Hospitals face unique challenges when it comes to wastewater. Their water contains a mix of biological materials, chemicals, medicines, and disinfectants. All these can harm public health and the environment if not properly treated.

The system at Thrissur General Hospital is specially designed to address these issues:

• It effectively removes medicine residues and other small pollutants that older systems might miss.
• This helps prevent antibiotics and other medications from entering the environment.
• The system handles changes in wastewater volume and composition.
• It maintains consistent treatment quality regardless of what's happening in the hospital.
• Built-in backup systems and monitoring capabilities allow for continuous operation even during maintenance.
