About

22 states in India and in other countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Africa where thegroundwater is highly contaminated by iron. Effectively used in the villages, schools and health centres specially in the rural areas with affordable cost (INR 1000-1500 approx.)

Outcome / Output

No replacement of adsorbent , Backwashing facility is available , Estimated filtration ability of filter medium (backwashing time) is around 40 days (for 7 ppm iron conc.) assuming consumption of 8L of water per day for a family, Flow rate : ~ 2 L/hour(approx.), Storage capacity : ~ 10 L , The filtration unit can also remove foul odor, bad taste of iron water, Design is simple compact, requires less space (table top).
