Title: | Hybrid Cavitation Technology Using Natural Oils for Disinfection of Water |
Area: | Earth, Atmosphere & Environment Sciences |
Focus Area: | Water-based Technologies |
Status: | 1. Need to ensure drinking water properties and check health benefits of treated water by evaluating drinking water characteristics after the use of natural oil having antimicrobial propertise.2. A prototype can be developed for applications ranging from household use to municipal water treatment, contributing to “Water & Environment”/ “Make in India” programs. |
Patent: | WO2013054362, US9422952, EP2766314, 4193/DEL/2015 |
Social Benefits: | The problem statement can be simply, "Develop methodology which provides safe drinking water at low cost with substantial ease of operation, scale-up and without harmful disinfection byproducts". The CSIR-NCL technology SWASTIIK (Safe Water and Sustainable Technology Initiative from Indian Knowledgebase) can be an attractive alternative to existing chlorination and such chemical based processes and can be used for household or corporation drinking water treatment. |

Brief Description
Description : | This technology combines cavitation processes with the use of natural oils to disinfect water by destroying harmful microorganisms. Cavitation generates localized high-energy conditions that disrupt microbial cells, while natural oils contribute additional antimicrobial action. The combined approach provides an eco-friendly alternative to chemical disinfectants.
Key Features: • Combines cavitation with natural oils for effective disinfection • Eliminates harmful microorganisms from water • Eco-friendly and reduces reliance on chemical disinfectants • Suitable for various water treatment applications • Enhances safety of drinking water |
