Development of Water Purification Technology

Water is also needed for many industrial processes. And, water is crucial in providing environmental services. Recently we have noticed it is key to aid in confronting health threats as pandemics

Water purification technology research focuses on clean water access, targeting physical, chemical, and biological contaminants through methods like reverse osmosis, membrane filtration, advanced nanomaterials, and decentralized solar-powered systems to eliminate complex pollutants efficiently.

The primary research aim for developing a new water purification technology focuses on contamination analysis, system design, and performance evaluation. Key goals include designing an efficient, low-cost, and eco-friendly system that removes physical, chemical, biological contaminants to provide safe drinking water, and testing treated water against safety standards

The Researchers at the Academy of Innovative Research, Science & Technological Development (AcIRSTD), and the National Water Research Institute (NWRI) will collaborate to develop a hybrid membrane-based water purification technology. The expected outcome of this is the creation of a clean, safe, and low-cost drinking water system, which includes high pathogen removal, energy efficiency, and scalable design for off-grid areas.
