Key Advantages of Anaerobic Bio-digestion Reactor Technology (ABRT)
India’s wastewater challenge is massive — over 70% of sewage generated in the country goes untreated, contaminating rivers, lakes, and groundwater. Traditional septic tanks and soak pits not only require frequent cleaning but also fail to treat sewage to a safe, reusable level.
That’s where ABRT (Anaerobic Bio-digestion Reactor Technology) comes in — a cutting-edge, eco-friendly solution that transforms household and commercial sewage into clear, odorless water ready for reuse.
Crystal Bio, a leader in bio septic solutions in Trichy since 2005, has perfected this technology to suit Indian water, soil, and climatic conditions.
What is ABRT?
ABRT stands for Anaerobic Bio-digestion Reactor Technology — a wastewater treatment method that uses specialized anaerobic bacteria to break down and digest organic waste in an oxygen-free environment.
In Crystal Bio’s 8-stage ABRT process, sewage undergoes multiple natural treatments, resulting in:
- Pathogen removal
- Sludge reduction
- Odor elimination
Water purification for reuse
How ABRT Works – The 8-Stage Process
- Wastewater Collection – All household sewage flows into the treatment tank.
- Primary Settling – Solids sink to the bottom while lighter materials float.
- Anaerobic Digestion – Beneficial bacteria break down waste into simple compounds.
- Sludge Stabilization – Waste volume is reduced without frequent pumping.
- Pathogen Destruction – Harmful microorganisms are eliminated.
- Fine Filtration – Multiple chambers filter out suspended particles.
- Odor Control – The system remains completely odorless.
Water Discharge – Clear water is released for gardening, flushing, or groundwater recharge.
Key Benefits of ABRT Technology
1. Environmentally Friendly
- Zero pollution to groundwater or soil
- No harmful chemicals used in treatment
- Supports eco-friendly, sustainable sanitation practices
2. Odor-Free Operation
Unlike traditional septic systems, ABRT-treated sewage produces no foul smell, making it more pleasant for residential and commercial use.
3. Low Maintenance
- No need for frequent desludging
- Long lifespan (15–20+ years)
- Simple annual inspections are sufficient
4. Cost-Effective Over Time
While initial installation may cost more than a standard septic tank, ABRT saves money by:
- Reducing water bills through reuse
- Eliminating frequent cleaning costs
- Minimizing repair and replacement expenses
5. Reusable Treated Water
ABRT produces clear, odorless, pathogen-free water that is safe for:
- Gardening & landscaping
- Toilet flushing
- Groundwater recharge
This helps conserve fresh water in drought-prone areas.
6. Space-Efficient Design
Crystal Bio’s ABRT units are compact and modular, suitable for small plots in urban areas and larger setups for rural or industrial use.
7. Versatility
ABRT technology works for:
- Independent houses
- Apartment complexes
- Schools & colleges
- Hotels & hospitals
- Industrial premises

1 What does ABRT mean?
ABRT stands for Anaerobic Bio-digestion Reactor Technology — a wastewater treatment method that uses beneficial anaerobic bacteria to naturally break down sewage in an oxygen-free environment, producing clean, odorless, reusable water.
2 How is ABRT different from a traditional septic tank?
Unlike traditional septic tanks that store and slowly leach wastewater into the ground, ABRT treats the sewage completely through an 8-stage process, removes pathogens, eliminates odors, and produces water suitable for reuse without polluting groundwater.
3 Does ABRT require electricity to work?
No. ABRT functions using natural biological processes and does not require electricity for the treatment itself, making it ideal for both urban and rural areas.
4 What kind of maintenance does ABRT need?
Maintenance is minimal — usually an annual inspection and bacterial culture replenishment every 2–3 years. No frequent desludging is needed, unlike traditional septic tanks.
5 Does ABRT-treated water smell?
No. The treatment process completely eliminates foul odors, resulting in clear and odorless water.
6 Can the treated water be used for drinking?
No. While ABRT water is safe for non-potable uses like gardening, toilet flushing, and groundwater recharge, it must undergo additional purification before being used for drinking.
7 Is ABRT suitable for all soil and water conditions?
Yes. ABRT systems can be installed in high water table areas, rocky soil, clay soil, and sandy soil with proper design adjustments.
8 Where can ABRT systems be installed?
They can be installed in:
- Individual houses
- Apartments and housing societies
- Schools and colleges
- Hotels, hospitals, and offices
Industrial units
9 How long does an ABRT system last?
With proper care, an ABRT bio septic tank can last 15–20 years or more.
10 Does Crystal Bio provide installation and after-sales support?
Yes. Crystal Bio offers complete end-to-end service — site assessment, design, installation, and 24/7 maintenance support for ABRT systems.
