Brief Description
Description : | This technology is an integrated system designed for removing arsenic from groundwater at a community level with a flow rate of approximately 700 LPH. It uses adsorbent-based geo-materials and operates without electricity, making it suitable for both rural and urban areas affected by arsenic contamination. The system ensures immediate availability of arsenic-free water and is compatible with common water extraction systems.
Key Features: • Flow rate of around 700 LPH • Uses geo-material-based adsorbents for arsenic removal • No electricity requirement and no running cost • Compatible with hand pumps and submersible pumps • Provides instant arsenic-free water |
