Algae Tech That 'Eats' Wastewater & Turns it into a Reusable Resource
Dr. Akansha’s startup Agromorph uses photobioreactors with indigenous microalgae to rapidly absorb pollutants like carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater. In just 8–10 hours, highly contaminated water is treated without chemicals, at only ₹10/KLD. The harvested algae is converted into biofuel, fertilisers, and animal feed, creating a zero-waste, low-cost solution for industries in Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
