Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject SummarySolar powered water purification plant system is a system that can use power source SOLAR and we can design this project in efficent working purification system with using automation (Sensored values,controllers &subjective towards renewable energy usage).The main goal is to disinfect biological contaminated water to drinkable.Improves the microbiological quality of water.It is applicable for household level , simple to install and portable.Design for rural areas , where the major issue is load shedding or areas with no electricity.Pollution free and Environment Friendly.To make wasted water useable.Operated on renewable energy.Low cost and reliable.By this we also see the matchup between technology, health & envirnomental classes,
Project ObjectivesThe main objective is to disinfect biological contaminated water to drinkable.
The aims of the project may be summarised as follows:
? To design and construct a Reverse Osmosis unit , powered by solar energy, capable of producing potable water from brackish borehole feed for rural households or small communities.
? To select desalination membranes which will deliver the maximum amount of potable water at the prevailing operating conditions.
? To demonstrate the operation of such a unit by field trials.
?Improves the microbiological quality of water.
?Improve the quality of basic need of ural area people.
?Introduce them electrical new technolgies usage and teach them to apply pollution free power sources.
?Improves the high/low head flexibility.
?It is applicable for household level , simple to install and portable.
?Design for rural areas , where the major issue is load shedding or areas with no electricity.
?Pollution free and Environment Friendly.
?To make wasted water useable.
?Operated on renewable energy.
?Low cost and reliable.
Solar energy is being used.The purification of water.
the microcontroller which is used also prevents the water from overflowing. Reverse osmosis is a good disinfectant process .Automation through sensors in which analyzing quality before and after and controlling quailty through microcontrollers.
This project has only capital cost and almost no running cost.
The solar radiations are collected by solar panel. This energy is then stored in a battery through a charge controller. The charge controller prevents the battery from getting overcharged. The battery is connected to the purification unit through an electromagnetic relay . The battery is also connected to a voltage regulator . The voltage regulator converts 24V to +5V,which is required by the microcontroller. The purification unit consists of high pressure motor , reverse osmosis system and the water tank. The high pressure creates the necessary pressure required to carry out reverse osmosis. The microcontroller keeps watch to the level of water in the water tank and prevents it from over flow. Through this process we obtain the purified water in the water tank
This data shows what can we achieve and benifits of our project..
?Due to alarming increase in population and rapid industrialization, drinking water quality is being deteriorated day by day in Pakistan.
?About 20% of the whole population of Pakistan has access to safe drinking water.
?The remaining 80% of population is forced to use unsafe drinking water due to the scarcity of safe and healthy drinking water sources.
?The primary source of contamination is sewerage (fecal) which is extensively discharged into drinking water system supplies. Secondary source of pollution is the disposal of toxic chemicals from industrial effluents, pesticides, and fertilizers from agriculture sources into the water bodies. Anthropogenic activities cause waterborne diseases that constitute about 80% of all diseases and are responsible for 33% of deaths.
?There is immediate need to take protective measures and treatment technologies to overcome unhygienic condition of drinking water supplies in different areas of Pakistan.
