DRDO’s bio-digesters
DRDO has developed bio-digesters to solve human waste disposal problem.
Defence Research and Development Establishment (DRDE), has developed this technology wherein a special form of bacteria is used to treat human waste in zero discharge toilet
This technology developed by the premier defense research organization was used to decompose biological waste generated by soldiers deployed in high-altitude regions such as Siachen and Ladakh.
The specific requirements of passenger trains, Railways and DRDO signed a MoU to co-develop these bio-digesters to keep railway tracks clean. They modified the technology to deal with the problem of people throwing all kind of waste materials in train toilets.
The bacteria which is used in these bio-digesters is found in Antarctica and has been modified to suit the different projects of DRDO to make bio-digesters for different climatic region
