Brief Description
Description : | This technology is designed for effective control of algal growth and simultaneous degradation of organic micropollutants in community water sources, particularly in rural areas. It uses advanced oxidation processes to generate reactive species that break down complex organic contaminants into simpler, less harmful compounds. The system enables in-situ treatment of water bodies, improving overall water quality and preventing issues such as eutrophication and contamination of drinking water sources.
Key Features: • Controls excessive algal growth in water bodies • Degrades organic micropollutants through advanced oxidation • Enables in-situ treatment of community water sources • Improves overall water quality and prevents eutrophication • Suitable for rural water bodies and decentralized applications |
