<p>New Delhi: The Defence Research and Development Organisation has successfully developed indigenous "nanoporous multilayered polymeric membrane" for high-pressure sea water desalination, officials said on Thursday.</p>.<p>The technology has been developed by the Defence Materials Stores and Research & Development Establishment (DMSRDE), the Kanpur-based laboratory of the DRDO.</p>.<p>The technology has been developed for "desalination plant in Indian Coast Guard ships", based on their operational requirement to address the challenge of stability when exposed to chloride ions in saline water, the defence ministry said.</p>.If India has 10 Abdul Kalams, we can nail R&D: Former DRDO scientist Ramarao.<p>The development has been completed in a "record time of eight months".</p>.<p>The DRDO has "successfully developed indigenous nanoporous multilayered polymeric membrane for high-pressure sea water desalination", the ministry said in a statement.</p>.<p>DMSRDE, along with ICG, successfully carried out initial technical trials in the existing desalination plant of Offshore Patrolling Vessel (OPV) of the Indian Coast Guard.</p>.<p>"The initial safety and performance trials of the polymeric membranes were found to be fully satisfactory.
