CURRENT CHALLENGES IN ARSENIC REMOVAL

INADEQUATE EFFICIENCY

Existing filtration methods often struggle to eliminate arsenic contaminants from groundwater, leaving residual risks of exposure.

COMPLEX MAINTENANCE

Traditional filtration systems entail laborious and costly maintenance procedures, impeding their widespread adoption and operational efficiency.

RELIANCE ON TREATMENT MEDIA

Existing treatment systems rely on specific media, raising environmental and health concerns.

SHORT LIFETIME

Refilling these media is a time-consuming and laborious process.

Navigating the Depths of Water Woes: Innovative Solutions Ahead

Molecular Magnetic Technology For Arsenic Removal (METAL)

METAL stands at the forefront of innovation in addressing groundwater arsenic contamination. By harnessing molecular magnetism, it efficiently removes arsenic compounds from groundwater without resorting to chemical oxidation. This groundbreaking technology has been successfully implemented in arsenic-affected regions, notably Bihar, India, offering a promising solution to millions grappling with arsenic-contaminated groundwater. Field trials, conducted in collaboration with governmental bodies and international organizations like UNICEF and ICICI Foundation, have demonstrated their effectiveness, treated millions of liters of water, and significantly reduced arsenic levels. This research signifies a remarkable alternative for arsenic removal in current scenarios.

The Magnetic Arsenic Removal Unit, with patented technology and approval from the Ministry of Jal Shakti, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, is currently at TRL-9, ready for commercial production. Priced at an economical 0.15 paise per liter, it offers a cost-effective solution for arsenic removal. With patents including Indian Patent - 400769 and international filing under PCT (WO 2021/144815), along with approvals and validations by esteemed institutions like CSIR – IICT and CSIR – CGCRI, this technology is poised to make a significant impact in addressing water quality challenges.
