EcoTec EcoSBR™ – Safe, Reliable & Future-Ready Sewage Treatment
At EcoTec Engineers and Consultants, we believe every sewage treatment plant should be designed as a long-term infrastructure asset rather than a short-term compliance installation. Since 2011, EcoTec has focused on designing and delivering treatment systems customised to suit the operational needs of different building types. This engineering-focused approach has earned industry recognition for delivering dependable solutions that prioritise reliability, safety, and lifecycle performance across modern water management infrastructure.
With more than 1,500 installations and operations across 16 countries, EcoTec brings strong field experience to each project involving a wastewater treatment plant. The company’s expertise spans residential developments, commercial complexes, institutional campuses, and decentralised urban infrastructure, ensuring systems perform efficiently under real operational conditions while meeting environmental standards and regulatory expectations.
EcoSBR™ is EcoTec’s flagship treatment solution developed using advanced engineering principles adapted from Sequencing Batch Reactor technology. The system has been created to address practical challenges faced in modern sewage wastewater treatment plant operations, especially where operating conditions are inconsistent. The EcoSBR series reflects EcoTec’s commitment to treatment stability, operator safety, and sustainable reuse of treated wastewater, instead of following generic or uniform design models.
The system is engineered specifically to manage Indian sewage characteristics and decentralised infrastructure limitations. EcoSBR delivers stable performance even when flow rates change, organic load levels fluctuate, or buildings experience phased occupancy growth. This makes the technology suitable for residential and mixed-use developments where reliable wastewater treatment and consistent process performance are essential for daily operations and long-term maintenance.
Unlike many conventional systems that face operational issues due to cost-driven design decisions or excessive mechanical complexity, EcoSBR follows a process-oriented engineering philosophy. Its single-reactor configuration performs multiple treatment functions, reducing mechanical dependency, energy usage, and overall footprint while improving operational stability and treatment efficiency associated with a modern STP plant.
Safety remains a core design consideration throughout EcoSBR development. From site identification and layout planning to construction, operation, and long-term servicing, every stage is engineered to minimise confined-space risks and reduce manual intervention. This structured approach supports stable performance and improves safety standards expected from a high-quality sewage processing plant used in residential and commercial environments.
With deep technical knowledge in decentralised water infrastructure, EcoTec designs EcoSBR systems to combine efficiency, simplicity, and user-friendly operation. The technology is available in packaged, modular, and site-built configurations, ensuring predictable operating costs while maintaining long-term sustainability. This adaptability also supports efficient waste water purification outcomes across different project scales and site conditions.
EcoTec EcoSBR™ transforms treatment infrastructure from a regulatory requirement into a dependable and efficient environmental solution. Designed to operate reliably for decades, the system supports sustainable urban growth and responsible water reuse through advanced engineering and consistent performance standards expected from a modern sewage recycling plant.
EcoSBR TREATMENT PROCESS
The EcoSBR sewage treatment system is designed to treat wastewater in a series of distinct batches. The treatment happens in four key operational phases within the SBR's aeration chamber:
Filling: Raw wastewater is fed into the aeration chamber, initiating the treatment cycle.
Aeration: Biological treatment takes place as oxygen is introduced into the chamber. This phase also incorporates anoxic and anaerobic conditions as needed to enhance nutrient removal.
Sedimentation / Settling: The aeration is stopped, allowing the activated sludge to settle to the bottom. This process results in a clear, treated water zone at the top of the reactor.
Clear Water Removal: The clear water is removed for further tertiary treatment or disposal. Following this, a controlled amount of excess sludge is removed from the bottom of the reactor.
The number of treatment batches per day can vary from 3 to 6 cycles, depending on site specific requirements. For larger capacities, multiple reactor modules can be integrated into a single treatment plant.
