Now, a water purifier to remove radioactive poisons

AHMEDABAD: A water purifier manufacturer here has developed a water purification system for the Indian army that can filter chemical and radioactive poisons from toxic water.

The Government of India has ordered 150 units from the firm, Shivam Water Treater, after the army approved their use.

Around five years ago, intelligence sources informed the government that terrorists could cause large-scale disasters by poisoning water resources, a threat New Delhi has taken seriously.

Shivam’s Gaurav Dave developed a technology that could make water drinkable by purging it of poisonous chemicals, biological toxins, and dangerous radioactive material.

The firm installed three such units in trucks, and had them driven to the army research department in Jodhpur, where the system was approved.

The government has asked Shivam Water Treaters for a quote, and it is expected that 150 plants will be used in army camps across the country after a deal is made. The first of these plants will be installed in border army camps and navy bases. Since the plants can be installed in trucks, they can move with troops, and be used in remote locations.
