After a critical analysis of the field data, the final improvement will be incorporated to convert the prototype to a deployable commercial product. As the product is low-cost and it does not require any electricity, the developed product can be used as a point-of-use water filter in the rural area or slum areas in the city including the schools and hospitals in the remote areas. The product can also be useful in the flood-hit area where electricity and clean drinking water is major crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>About :<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Principal Investigator :<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/legacy.iitgn.ac.in\/faculty\/chemical\/chinmayg.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Dr. Chinmay Ghoroi<\/a><\/strong>, PhD , B.S.
