This paper describes a robust autonomous disinfection tunnel to disinfect
external surfaces of COVID-19 virus such as clothes and open body sections in
public places such as airports, office complexes, schools, and malls. To make the
tunnel effective and highly efficient, it has been provided with two chambers
with three disinfection processes. Due to the multiple processes, the possibility
of neutralizing the virus is quite high and higher than other solutions available
at this point for this purpose. Chamber 1 sprays the solution of a disinfectant
on the person. This solution can be either a dilute solution of approved chemical
or any Ayurvedic/herbal disinfectant. Once the person enters chamber 2, he/she is
exposed to hot air at 70 °C along with far-ultraviolet C rays (207-222 nm). Both
chambers function autonomously by detecting a person in a chamber using
ultrasonic sensors. The proposed tunnel is developed under industry-academia
collaboration jointly by Technopark@iitk and ALIMCO under the ambit of the
Ministry of Human Resources Development and the Ministry of Social Justice and
Empowerment, respectively. The tunnel is referred to as the 'Techno Advanced
Disinfection Tunnel' (TADT).
