TACKLING WATER CHALLENGES

Navigating the Depths of Water Woes: Innovative Solutions Ahead

Molecular Magnetic Technology For Arsenic Removal (METAL)

METAL stands at the forefront of innovation in addressing groundwater arsenic contamination. By harnessing molecular magnetism, it efficiently removes arsenic compounds from groundwater without resorting to chemical oxidation. This groundbreaking technology has been successfully implemented in arsenic-affected regions, notably Bihar, India, offering a promising solution to millions grappling with arsenic-contaminated groundwater. Field trials, conducted in collaboration with governmental bodies and international organizations like UNICEF and ICICI Foundation, have demonstrated their effectiveness, treated millions of liters of water, and significantly reduced arsenic levels. This research signifies a remarkable alternative for arsenic removal in current scenarios.

The Magnetic Arsenic Removal Unit, with patented technology and approval from the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, is currently at TRL-9, ready for commercial production. Priced at an economical 0.15 paise per liter, it offers a cost-effective solution for arsenic removal. With patents including Indian Patent - 400769 and international filing under PCT (WO 2021/144815), along with approvals and validations by esteemed institutions like CSIR – IICT and CSIR – CGCRI, this technology is poised to make a significant impact in addressing water quality challenges.

INTEGRATION OF AI AND IOT CONNECTIVITY

With IoT connectivity, the device aims to transmit data and reports remotely, facilitating streamlined operations and enabling swift responses to any deviations from acceptable parameters. AI enables the device to continuously learn from the data it collects. This adaptive capability allows the device to improve its accuracy over time and perform predictive maintenance.

HARNESSING THE POWER OF GEOSPATIAL MAPPING

MAPPING WATER QUALITY

Geomapping technology is used in in assessing and monitoring water quality across diverse landscapes. By utilizing spatial data analysis techniques, geomapping enables the identification of sources of contamination, pollution hotspots, and areas vulnerable to environmental degradation. Through comprehensive surveys and data collection efforts, stakeholders can gain valuable insights into the spatial distribution of water quality parameters such as pathogens, pollutants, and chemical constituents.

MAPPING WASTE GENERATION

Geomapping facilitates the identification of waste generation points and patterns. By pinpointing locations where various types of waste are generated, including biohazard, e-waste, dry waste, organic waste, and industrial waste, stakeholders can develop targeted waste management strategies. Geomapping surveys, coupled with intuitive dashboards, enable participants to quantify and categorize waste generation, providing a comprehensive understanding of the waste landscape and informing strategic interventions.
