PARLIAMENT QUESTION: USE OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY FOR WATER PURIFICATION IN FLOOD-AFFECTED AREAS

Posted On: 17 DEC 2025 2:02PM by PIB Delhi

Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has developed cost-effective and location/contaminant-specific membrane-based water purification technologies, as a spin-off of its in-house technology development initiatives, which can find application in treatment of water in flood affected areas. The notable among them are ultrafiltration including hollow fibre-based water purifying device for microbial decontamination and suspended solids removal in online and offline modes of operation, nanofiltration for multi-valent ions removal including hardness and heavy metals.

The water purification technologies are available for transfer to private entrepreneurs, on non-exclusive basis, for commercialisation. Till date the technology has been transferred to around 56 licensees for deployment across the country, the list of licensees of the respective water purification technologies is given in the below:
