Testing the feasibility of geothermal heat sinks with concentrated solar power for effective municipal wastewater disinfection: A pilot study

Efficient disinfection is of prime importance for safe drinking. Despite Kolkata’s significant progress in the socio-economic fronts, the conservative and disjointed approaches used in dealing with the city’s sanitation and wastewater treatment problems have collectively made it one of the hotspots...
