Summary:
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (NewsVoir) Cleaning a flowing river is no easy task, but definitely a dire need of the day.
AlphaMERS Ltd.
a Bengaluru based firm has developed and implemented solutions to clean the trash and plastics flowing down city rivers.
The company’s first commercial installation was in Cooum river in Chennai in 2018.
This company was founded by an ex-merchant Navy Captain DC Sekhar.
This firm (www.alphamers.com) took a radically different approach from all conventional approaches to river clean up around the world.
Using steel mesh and steel chains, it designed a floating barrier with a very high tensile strength strong enough to withstand the monsoon river flow.
