Brief Description
Description : | This technology utilizes TERAFIL, a low-cost porous ceramic filtration medium, for removing excess iron and turbidity from drinking water. The filtration process physically traps suspended particles and facilitates removal of iron through adsorption and filtration mechanisms. It is designed as an affordable and easy-to-use solution for rural and community-level applications where water quality is affected by turbidity and iron contamination.
Key Features: • Uses TERAFIL-based ceramic filtration medium • Removes iron and suspended particles effectively • Improves water clarity and reduces turbidity • Low-cost and suitable for rural deployment • Simple design requiring minimal maintenance |
