Amity University presents innovation at ACREX India 2024: ‘Electricity Generation from Wastewater’ merging sustainability and energy production
Amity University showcased its innovative ‘Electricity Generation from Wastewater’ at ACREX India 2024 Expo, focusing on ‘Decarbonisation.’ The Climate, Energy and Sustainable Technology (CEST) division, led by Dr Anita Gupta, showcased initiatives and plans for decarbonisation at a dedicated stall.
Dr V K Jain, Scientist and Professor, Amity Institute of Advanced Research and Studies, developed an innovation for DST – CEST division at an international exhibition, alongside projects from IIT Delhi, IIT Roorkee and Amity University.
“The technology developed by Dr V K Jain must be commercialised and should reach the common masses so that they can benefit from it. Department of Science Technology will extend its complete support for further development of this technology which focuses on sustainable development and is highly beneficial for the society”, Dr Anita Gupta, Head, CEST Division, DST, said.
“The technology, ‘Electricity Generation from Wastewater’, is an innovative system through which industrial wastewater is cleaned efficiently and electric power is produced using the same water without relying on external sources or materials. The system comprises two uniquely designed electrodes made of different materials immersed in industrial wastewater. Through an electrochemical process, these electrodes generate electric power while concurrently facilitating the self-cleaning of the water. The cleaned water, now reusable, can be employed for irrigation and cleaning purposes”, Dr V K Jain, Scientist and Professor, Amity University, stated.
