Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, CSIR’s Scientific Instruments Organisation, CSIO, Chandigarh, has developed an innovative technology for effective disinfection and sanitization to fight with corona pandemic.
CSIR-CSIO has transferred this technology to a Nagpur-based company, Rite Water Solutions Private Limited for commercialization and large-scale production. CSIR-CSIO scientists said, the technology has been found very efficient and effective to stop the spread of coronavirus and pathogens.
Electrostatic Disinfection Machine has been developed based on the electrostatic principle. It produces uniform and fine spray droplets of disinfectants of 10 to 20 micrometres to kill microorganisms and viruses. Due to the small size of droplets, the surface area of spray droplets increases, enhancing the interaction with harmful microorganisms and coronavirus. The machine uses very less disinfection material as compared to conventional methods, saving natural resources with a negligible increase of chemical waste in the environment.
Director of CSIR-CSIO Chandigarh said effective disinfection through this innovative concept of electrostatic spraying contributes to healthy lifestyle and healthcare of masses. He added that it is also directly linked to Swasth Bharat Mission of Government of India.
