Gkp’s pond revival: Deep cleaning, & transformation of Moti Pokhara

Gorakhpur: Moti Pokhara, a pond spanning 1.20 acres which was filled with filth and contaminated water, was deep-cleaned in just 17 days, making its bottom visible.
The cleaning process, undertaken by Valiant Intact Private Limited, a Gujarat-based company with experience in purifying pond and lake water in South Africa, yielded impressive results.
Sanjay Chauhan, chief engineer of Gorakhpur Municipal Corporation, along with other engineers, inspected the pond's cleaning progress and expressed satisfaction over the work.
The company has been working on the project since September 24, using its patented technology called ‘REGAL' (Radical Enhancement Using Gas Assisted Liquid Dispersion). The technology effectively reduced the chemical oxygen demand (COD) from 170 to 10.5 PPM, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) from 65 to 09 PPM, and ammonia levels from a dangerous 1.8 PPM to 0.01 PPM. The cleaning process will continue for 90 days, Param Desai, CEO of Valiant Intact Private Limited said. The process involves cleaning the decades-old pond by using the power of nano bubbles, ultrasound as a catalyst, and free radicals. The technology is being employed using an aerator, which delivers oxygen to the bottom of the water using bubbles smaller than the coronavirus.
This process increases oxygen content in water, promoting growth of beneficial bacteria that feed on the accumulated waste at the pond's bottom, thereby cleaning it and increasing the water's density, Desai explained.
"This method eliminates the need for dredging to clean lakes and ponds. As the oxygen level in the water increases, it creates a suitable environment for the growth of fish, aquatic life, and vegetation. The number of algae in the water is also controlled," he said.
