Device for Antibiotic Depletion from Waste Water Effluents

FNDR is developing a novel device made of waste materials to remove antibiotics from waste water. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat due to discharge/dumping of antibiotics from industries such as API manufacturing, poultry, fisheries, animal husbandry, and hospitals. Currently there is no device to deplete antibiotics from effluents. The lab scale device is ready and prototype device pilot studies have been completed. Proof of concept studies were funded by BIRAC India.
