Low-Cost Water Purification Membrane using Graphene Oxide
Patent FiledA novel graphene oxide composite membrane that removes heavy metals, microplastics, and biological contaminants from water at a fraction of the cost of conventional systems. Validated at pilot scale for both household and community use.
Key Benefits
- 80% lower production cost vs. conventional membranes
- Removes 99.7% of heavy metals and pathogens
- Operates without electricity — gravity-fed design
AI-Based Crop Disease Detection System
Early StageA lightweight convolutional neural network model deployable on low-end Android smartphones that identifies 28 crop diseases from leaf images with 94.3% accuracy, supporting both Bangla and English interfaces for rural farmers.
Key Benefits
- 94.3% disease detection accuracy on field images
- Works offline — no internet required after install
- Supports Bangla voice guidance for low-literacy users
Biodegradable Packaging from Jute Fiber Composite
Early StageA bio-composite packaging material made from Bangladeshi jute fibers and natural binders, providing tensile strength comparable to conventional plastic packaging while fully biodegrading within 90 days under standard soil conditions.
Key Benefits
- Fully biodegrades in 90 days — zero microplastic residue
- Tensile strength within 15% of conventional plastic
- Uses locally sourced jute — supports rural livelihoods
Solar-Powered IoT Irrigation Controller
Early StageAn autonomous irrigation management system using soil moisture sensors, weather APIs, and solar power to optimize water usage for smallholder farms. Reduces water consumption by up to 40% with a payback period of under two growing seasons.
Key Benefits
- Up to 40% reduction in irrigation water usage
- Solar-powered — zero operating electricity cost
- LoRa-based connectivity covers 5 km without cellular
