New Delhi, Aug 28: Scientists at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre have developed a plant for converting sea water for safe drinking on a commercially viable basis.
With the development of the capacity to generate, design, fabricate, commission and operate small and large size desalination plants, the centre has evolved expertise for producing pure water from saline water, an official release said here today.
There was a serious need to put up a number of large-size plants for brackish and sea water desalination and treatment of industrial effluents for reusing the water, it said.
The technological innovations in desalination would lead to its large-scale application and provide opportunities for the socio-economic development of water-scarcity areas and large coastal arid zones of the country, the release added. Bureau Report
