This is regarding a new sachet-based product for point-of-use removal of Arsenic, Fluoride and Iron from drinking water.
We have developed following products for producing safe drinking water, mainly for households/communities located in small villages or remote adivasi areas.
a) Sachet-based product for removal of Arsenic and Iron from drinking water.
(We have also developed Arsenic Testing Kit and Iron Testing Kit)
b) Sachet-based product for removal of Fluoride from drinking water.
(We have also developed Fluoride Testing Kit)
The treatment technique removes Arsenic from drinking water to bring it down from 500 ppb to below 10 ppb (WHO Standard) in 30 minutes.
Fluoride is removed from drinking water to bring it down from 5 ppm level to below 1.0 ppm level in 2 hours.
Household treatment requires only a bucket and cotton cloth for filtration.
Only 2.5 gm sachet is required for Household treatment of 15 litres of drinking water. Crystal-clear water is available within half an hour, which is free from Arsenic, Iron, Turbidity etc.
This arrangement can be scaled-up for community-level treatment too. For community-level treatment, the cost works out to about 6 to 8 paise per liter water.
Neither high value capital investment, nor technical skill is required. Technique involves only mix-wait-filter.
Performance and efficiency of the technique has been evaluated and approved by state Govt. Laboratories and CSIR Laboratory.
We feel these products would be of great help to Govt. Departments, Agencies and NGOs working in the field of Arsenic/Fluoride mitigation, more so due to their utility in terms of simplicity, costs and logistics.
We would be glad to receive feedback regarding the products, from organizations/individuals working in these areas.
Also, would somebody be able to advise us on the following –
a) Which Govt. agency should we contact for assistance to make this technique/product reach-out up to the point of use?
b) Contacts of any NGO’s that are working specifically in this area.
c) Do we get any assistance/ funding from Govt. agencies for making arrangement of infrastructure (community treatment tank etc.) for making this technique reach up to the affected people.
Please provide contact details of Agencies, Departments or NGO concerned.
Technical literatures regarding the products are attached.
