Pune-based Defence Institute of Advanced Technology (DIAT) has developed a microwave steriliser ‘Atulya’ that can disintegrate the novel coronavirus.
The sterilizer will disintegrate the coronavirus by differential heating in the range of 560 to 600 Celsius temperatures.
The product is a cost-effective solution.
ATULYA can be operated in portable or fixed installations.
This system was tested for human and operator safety and has been found to be safe.
Depending upon the size and shape of various objects, the time of sterilization is from 30 seconds to one minute.
Approximate weight of the system is 3 Kg and it can be used for non-metallic objects only.
