4 Introduction of Project Owner National Institute of Bioremediation, NARC Ministry of National Food Security & Research, Pakistan Pakistan Agricultural Research Council National Agricultural Research Centre National Institute of Bioremediation Established 2010 Federal institution for replication & promotion of Bioremediation Technology Established 3 bio-remediation units in NARC Total water treated 0.7 million gallons per day (under NEQs) Replicated technology at 80 Different Location in Pakistan with Private Public Association of Nano Bio Solutions Inc.

5 Bioremediation The treatment of environmental contamination through biological means is known as bioremediation Bioremediation uses plants, natural filters (stones, gravel, activated charcoal, etc.) and microorganisms or their enzymes to return the environment altered by contaminants to its original condition. Bioremediation involves treating the organic contaminated material both at the site and away from the site of contamination.

6 Indigenous Aquatic Plants for Used-water Treatment Best Management Practice More than 20 indigenous plants have been discovered through different climatic zones of the country (Pakistan) for treating used water and reclaiming contaminated soils. The same sort of study is required for partner countries to discover native plants for treatment. Penny wort Water Hycinth Water lettuce Duck Weed Vitiveria Zizanoides Typha

7 Why bio-remediation? Doable Cost effective Simple to apply Environment friendly Low energy usage Income generating Generally acceptable Rehabilitation of natural resources

8 Establishment Cost 7% COMPARATIVE RUNNING COST /ANNUM (millions) Traditional Used Water Treatement Plant (Mechanical/Chemical) Bioremediation Technology % 0.3 Depreciation Cost Chemical Cost Administrative Cost Bio-remediation Treatment System Cost effective, minimum energy use Based on indigenous resources and environment friendly

9 Project Activities Coordination with Partner Member Countries Study exchange visits to enhance researchers capacities Visibility of the COMCEC project coordination activity on national & international electronic/print media (journal/magazine) Developing joint website for all partner countries for sharing, learning and improving the concept and technology for future continuation International Training workshop for all partner countries participants for capacity building Publication of the report and sharing results with the COMCEC member countries.

10 Project Objective Developing Cooperation and share learning among five OIC member countries Enhancing capacities to manage wastewater through Biological ways to reclaim water for irrigation and Reduce water borne and water related diseases through biological Management of sewage water

11 Linkage with COMCEC Strategy Enhancing Mobility: The bio-remediation technology will enhance and reach to other member states with the following steps : Visitation Sharing Training/capacity building Publishing promotional documents Joint website (continuation of future coordination) Publishing brief journal/magazine quarterly (continuation of future coordination) Strengthening Solidarity Improving Governance
