 Technology Profile

Title:

Community Level Arsenic Removal Filter (Model-II)

Value Proposition:

Natural arsenic contamination is a major concern these days in the world including Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra delta regions of India. The filtering cartridge is based on three-stage purification technology.

Arsenic water filter is mainly targeted to the population of over 150 million in world including Ganga-Meghna-Brahmaputra delta regions of India and Bangladesh where there is no access to arsenic free safe drinking water.

This plant is useful for removal of arsenic from ground water which may contain arsenic of 0.01 – 0.50 ppm to below WHO limit.

Summary Application:

Salient features:

  • Water storage capacity : 1500L
  • Flow rate: 350-400 L/Hr
  • Filtering capacity: 40000L
  • Purification: 3-stage
  • Cartridge: 18 Nos., replaceable
  • Electricity consumption: Power free
  • The technology has been transferred to 6 Indian Industries in non-exclusive basis.
  • Application: Environmental (Clean tech.) - Water treatment.
Advantages:

Provides Aresnic free water to the masses below the WHO limit.

Drinking arsenic-rich water over a long period impacts health in various ways, including skin problems skin cancer, cancers of the bladder, kidney and lung, and diseases of the blood vessels of the legs and feet, and possibly also diabetes, high blood pressure and reproductive disorders.
