With rapid expansion of cities and water supply, the quantity of wastewater or grey water is
increasing considerably.
The wastewater treatment for institutional sources is the largest contributor to the revenues of
Municipal wastewater treatment market with a contribution of 50.0% in 2013 and revenues
worth USD 555.8 in the same year. The accelerated growth rate seen in the commercial sector
(hotels, hospitals, institutions, software parks, shopping malls) has imparted thrust to this market.
Sub merged Aerobic Fixed Film Reactors are used for treating wastewater generated from
institutional sources. The reactors are used to decrease the organic weight of commercial
sewage/wastewater, which in turn reduces the Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and a
significant quantity of Suspended Solids (SS). The proceeds from institutional wastewater have
grown at a CAGR of 13.1% during the period of 2007-2013 from revenues of USD 265.5 million
in 2007…
