ECCA wins World Bank Nepal Development Marketplace 2008 (country level) on June 24, 2008.

The project "Simple Alternative Water Disinfection Programme" is focused towards producing chlorine solution locally from concentrated common salt solution (through electrolysis process). The chlorinator device can be powered by solar panel or from utility grid. For an average water quality, 1 litre of concentrate salt solution produces 13 litres of chlorine solution which, in turn, treats 52,000 litres of water. The produced chlorine will then be used to treat water for drinking purpose.
