TERI has successfully demonstrated the use of ceramic membrane filters in submerged membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for sewage treatment. These filters are made from fly ash and are considerably cheaper than commercially available membranes. This is a decentralized system that allows for industrial wastewater to be treated for re-use on site, thus resulting in water use efficiency.

The Energy And Resources Institute

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) is a leading think tank dedicated to conducting research for sustainable development of India and the Global South. TERI was established in 1974 as an information centre on energy issues. We believe that resource efficiency and waste management are the keys to smart, sustainable and inclusive development. Our work across sectors is focused on 1)Promoting efficient use of resources across sectors 2)Increasing access and uptake of sustainable inputs and practices 3)Reducing the impact on environment and climate
