BARC tech to help clean Ganga of industry waste -Vishwa Mohan

-The Times of India

MYSORE: With the Centre taking multiple measures to fulfill its clean Ganga mission, the country's premier atomic research body - Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) - has offered membrane-based water treatment system to clean the national river.

The department of atomic energy (DAE) in its presentation on Monday at the Indian Science Congress gave details of the system, describing how BARC is already providing technical support to the Jharkhand government for using this new and effective system to clean the holy Shiv-Ganga pond at Deogarh which attracts millions of devotees every year.

The membrane-based technology can help remove heavy metals from water in rivers, reservoirs or ponds. Usually, heavy metals like chromium, arsenic, cadmium and lead cannot be treated using conventional water treatment processes. These systems usually have greater removal performance as a result of increased solid capture and long solids retention times inherent in the membrane bio-reactor process.

The new technology can be used in the stretch of the Ganga where it gets lot of industrial and municipal discharge as merely setting up conventional sewage treatment plants (STPs) and Central Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) are not enough to clean the river. At present, 764 industrial units are located along or near the banks of the Ganga.
