BITS Environmental Science & Technology (BEST) Lab

 

 

 

BEST lab

About the group

BEST Lab is a dynamic research group primarily focusing on environmental biotechnology and sustainable waste management. Their collective expertise includes anaerobic digestion, waste-to-energy conversion, wastewater treatment, and environmental remediation. The group focuses on advancing scientific understanding and developing innovative strategies to tackle environmental challenges.

Mission and Vision:

The mission is to create practical, field-ready solutions that make a real difference. The group aims to develop innovations that not only advance science but also bring genuine value to society and help protect the environment. They envision a world where innovative, science-based solutions are seamlessly integrated into everyday life, creating a healthier planet for future generations.

Our Impact:

Contributions towards neighborhood societal development have been made through the implementation of sustainable waste management solutions, where lab-scale experiments are being successfully translated into large-scale applications, showing tangible results and fostering the development of a circular economy.

  • A 12,000 L thermophilic biogas digester to treat food waste was commissioned in 2014 at the students' hostel dining hall in BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. The biogas produced is used as a supplement for cooking gas, and the spent slurry is used as a soil amendment/ biofertilizer for horticulture.

  • Similarly, a 16,000 L biomethanation digester to treat the organic fraction of municipal solid waste and food waste was commissioned in 2023 at the sewage treatment plant in BITS Pilani, Hyderabad Campus. The biogas produced is converted to electricity and used to supplement the energy requirements of the sewage treatment plant, and the spent slurry as biofertilizer.

  • Additionally, a 100,000 L biomethanation digester to treat the organic fraction of municipal solid waste and food waste in the Thumkunta municipality. An MoU has been signed, and the biogas digester setup is currently in progress. Once operational, the digester will treat the two tons of organic waste into biogas, which will be used to generate electricity for local community consumption. Additionally, the spent slurry from the process will be utilized as biofertilizer, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
