CSIR Technology of Electrostatic Disinfection transferred for Commercialization


The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research – Central Scientific Instrument Organization (CSIR-CSIO) has developed a technology for sanitization and effective disinfection. The CSIR-CSIO has transferred the technology to a Nagpur based company Rite Water Solutions Private Limited.

Highlights

  • The Disinfectant technology has been found to be highly effective and efficient to stop the spread of any pathogen. 
  • The machine has been developed based on the electrostatic principle.

About the machine

  • The machine produces fine and uniform droplets of disinfectants that kills micro organisms including virus. 
  • The main advantage of the machine is that it uses minimum limited disinfectant as compared to other conventional and manual methods.

How is the device different?

  • The device sprays charges droplets of disinfectants. 
  • As the droplets are charged, they can cover obscured surfaces as well. 
  • This improves the efficiency and efficacy of the device to reach hidden areas. 
  • The hidden areas always have greater possibility of viruses.

Swasth Bharat Abhiyan

  • The technology of electrostatic sprayer contributes to healthy life style and health care of the masses. 
  • It is directly linked to Swasth Bharat Abhiyan. The Swasth Bharat Abhiyan is implemented by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. 
  • The yatra under the scheme was led by FSSAI.
  • The Swasth Bharat Yatra was launched in 2018 on the World Food Day (October 16). The volunteers rallied and cycled to spread awareness about healthy diet.
