Safety and sustainability issues in the use of microbes in sewage treatment and sewerage system - Need inputs

Use of microbes in sewage treatment and maintenance of sewerage system has been evolved and portrayed as a promising option, and such products and services have been offered by many companies. In some technologies, along with naturally occurring bacteria, genetically modified bacteria are also used. Such services are for maintenance of sewage pipelines and sewage treatment infrastructure and also treating some of the pollution loads. All these technologies work on oil & grease trap, drain, septic tank to prevent clogging of drains and reduce the loads of BOD, TSS & FOG.

In this regard, I would like to get your inputs on the following:

  1. What are the broad safety and sustainability issues of such microbe-based technologies in wastewater treatment and viability & efficiency of these solutions?
  2. Your opinion about such particular technology
  3. Who are offering such reliable solutions in India?
  4. Cases of efficient use of such technology in India

Thanks & regards,
