Title:
Household Modified Septic Tank 
Inventor(s):

Application Number:
3635/Del/2013 
Applied at:

Abstract:
The present invention also allows for an up gradation in the method of cleaning of a septic tank over the conventional method which consists of a complete withdrawal or emptying of the settled and digested sludge by enforcing a planned shutdown of the whole facility and diverting the wastewater during the period of cleaning. In this new design, the sludge withdrawal is performed by opening of a telescopic sludge withdrawal valve, which shall force the accumulated sludge, under hydraulic head, to move through a lateral pipe into a sludge withdrawal pit wherefrom the sludge shall be withdrawn for subsequent dewatering and disposal. This process of sludge removal can take place while the septic tank is in operation. The new design only allows the heavy digested sludge at the bottom of the septic tank to be discharged out into the sludge withdrawal pit. Thus, decanting of the digested sludge from the tank facilitates retaining of some quantity of sludge inside the tank which shall be beneficial for continued removal of BOD and sludge by the septic tank without needing any appreciable startup time after the cleaning is done.  

 
THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
