Technology Overview

This innovative device leverages gamma rays, distinct from conventional x-rays, to sanitize food and water. Designed for use in areas without reliable electricity, such as refugee camps or remote locations, it features an irradiation chamber and a containment dome. These components work together to direct high-energy photons through reflective and shielding layers, ensuring effective sanitation. The technology is specifically engineered to address the global health challenge of disease transmission through contaminated food and water, offering a viable solution for disaster zones, and enhancing food storage longevity without compromising nutritional value.


Key Advantages

  • Portable and does not require electrical power, making it ideal for use in off-grid locations
  • Utilizes gamma rays for sanitation, offering a unique approach compared to traditional methods
  • Capable of continuous water sanitation and batch-wise food treatment, enhancing its practicality
  • Designed to not degrade food quality, preserving nutritional value

Problems Addressed

  • Disease transmission via contaminated food and water, particularly in areas with limited infrastructure
  • Dependence on electrical power for sanitation solutions, limiting usability in remote or disaster-affected areas
  • Food spoilage and loss in disaster zones or areas without access to conventional preservation methods

Market Applications

  • Disaster relief operations where traditional infrastructure is compromised
  • Remote locations without access to reliable electrical power
  • Refugee camps requiring efficient and safe food and water sanitation solutions
  • Non-electric sanitation applications for extending food storage longevity in various settings
