| Description |
Polymer Division of National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India has developed a water purifier that requires no electricity, which can be set up in 10 minutes in the remotest areas, and that filters out even viruses.
The filter has immense potential in rural and disaster-prone areas. The National Chemical Laboratory (NCL) has come up with a new membrane filter that ensures the quality of the drinking water. A unique aspect of the ultra filtration (UF) membrane is that not only does it clean the water of all suspended particulate matter and bacteria, it also gets rid of harmful viruses. The membrane technology, which was granted a US patent earlier this year, does not depend on electricity, unlike other water filters. It can be used in remote rural areas as well as disaster zones where safe drinking water is not easily accessible. The ultra filtration membrane is being marketed under the brand name ‘Purioin’.
One version of the membrane, Purioin XL, that costs Rs 18,000, has been ... more |
| Area of Application |

Purioin, water purifying technology, ultra membrane filter technology |
| Advantages |
1. High water permeability
2. Low fouling
3. The ability to reject undesirable species in the water (worms, spores, bacteria, viruses, etc)
4. Appropriate for diaster prone areas and remote villages where electricity is unavailable
5. Portable size
The technology has thus proven highly appropriate for extreme circumstances, in regions where the quality of potable water is poor and electricity simply not available. The filtration units are portable and can easily be carried to remote areas. |
