  • Patent number: 10384171
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a complete process for preparation of high flux and salt rejection thin film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membrane including process for preparation of support membrane for thin film, process for thin film coating of support membrane by in-situ interfacial polymerization between diamines and trimesoyl chloride, machine design, chemistry and details of process (engineering+chemistry+ambient) parameter at 1×100 sqm scale upgradeable to a scale even 10-20 times higher. The produced membrane is characterized by 96% salt rejection and 48 LM-2H 1 flux with 2000 ppm sodium chloride solution at 250 psi pressure and 95% salt rejection and 46 LM2H 1 flux with 35000 ppm sodium chloride solution at 900 psi pressure. The present invention also relates to complete machine design for PSF ultrafiltration membrane casting and coating for TFC membrane production at commercial level.

  • Patent number: 7387728
    Abstract: This invention provides animal powered mechanical device for water desalination. It has unique features of using animal power as prime mover to effect brackish water desalination. Animal energy in form of high-torque low-speed can be converted into low-torque high-speed through speed increaser (4) to energize the high-pressure pump (6), the outlet manifold (8) of the pump (6) being connected to a reverse osmosis membrane module (9). With this device animal power can be used for obtaining safe drinking water from backish ground water/seawater resource in villages.

  • Publication number: 20070069839
    Abstract: A hybrid microwave-coupling device for transmitting signals from non-radiative dielectric (NRD) waveguides to suspended striplines (SSL) or vice-versa. The two transmission lines are placed transversally with longitudinal side of the NRD guide facing the SSL for conversion of particular transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode to Longitudinal Section Magnetic Mode (LSM).
