Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International has now found an innovative method to cut down the usage of water. Yes, the Mumbai’s airport goes green. It is using green bacteria to clean the urinals thus saving at least one lakh liters of water every day.

The authorities have introduced the concept of ammonia feeding bacteria, this eventually converts the ammonia which is generated from the uric acid into nitrogen as soon as the toilet has been used.

The officials had completely turned off the auto sensors that were connected to the flushers and replaced them with a green mixture comprising of several bacteria and enzymes. Besides cleaning 200 washrooms, this mixture is also used to clean 4 lakh sq mts of surface area within the airport terminal.

These bacteria are said to work around the clock, unlike those conventional methods which require regular touch-ups.

A spokesperson from the Mumbai International Airport Pvt., Ltd., said: “Ammonia feeding bacteria spores are used in the toilets instead of detergents etc. And lab tests confirm that the toilets are cleaner now. We do not use essential oils like lavender or lemongrass to mask the smells.”

The green solution is poured at regular intervals of time in the urinals. As this gets spritzed in the air, the washrooms of both male and female passengers have no odor.

The IGBC (Indian Green Building Certification) certified the Mumbai airport with an exclusive platinum rating for this green airport.
