1. Most effective & long lasting technology available till date. With regular treatment, the arsenic level will remain Below Detectable Limit & gradually the aquifer will improve.
2. It is also the easiest technology around. Every plumber & electrician in the village can do the operation & maintenance once they are given a simple training.
3. The SUSTAINABLE way of treating arsenic contaminated water. This process not only removes arsenic & iron from the water pumped out through the system, but also treats the contaminated aquifer water.
4. Easy Operation & Maintenance: The whole system is very cheap to operate & maintain.
5. More there is iron in water, more effective the process is. The arsenic gets co-precipitated with the precipitated iron in the aquifer itself & doesn't get a chance to come to the surface.
6. Waste disposal is not a problem. During operational phase, nearly ZERO waste is generated since iron, arsenic & other impurities like Mn, nitrates, nitrites, etc gets bounded under the soil in the aquifer itself.
7. Large supply of Arsenic free water can be obtained by running the treatment cycle for more than once per day.
