INTRODUCTION

The aim of our project is to purify water by using solar energy

in rural areas of INDIA. We are using solar energy because in rural areas th

amount of electricity is not enough. SUN ray is available in our country and by using this SUN

ray, we will produce pure water.

Necessity of Water purification

Pure drinking water is essential for human being. According to WHO,97% population of INDIA have access to water. Water born diseases, such as typhoid,jaundice, diarrhea, cholera. About 2.5 to 15 million children and old people affected by diarrhea.

What type of elements removed by PURIFICATION More than 99% of dissolved salts(ions). Dust particles. Colloides. Organics. Bacteria. Pyrogens. And many more.

Some water miseries

Usage and Maintenance• 1. The user will fill the reservoir tank with water that needs to be purified.• 2. Attach the vacuum pump to the apparatus and operate it till the pressure

inside• drops to around 20kPa. Then remove the pump.• 3. Attach the pipe for collecting the purified water.• 4. Then he will lift the whole device up a few meters above the ground (around

2.5 m).• This will ensure no shadows fall on the apparatus during any part of the day.• 5. Leave it there till evening.• 6. Remove the purified water for use.• 7. Remove the plates for cleaning and dispose of the remaining water.• 8. Ready for use on the next day.

COST ANALYSIS OF PROJECT

• The total area of the steel plates used = 6 m2

• Rate of steel plate of thickness 1mm = 80/Kg• Total cost of steel = Rs 800• Cost of crushed hay and sawdust = Almost free• Cost of carbon black paint = Rs 100• Cost of tempered glass = Rs 500• Cost of insulation and sealing = Rs 100• Cost of the pump = Rs 250• Cost of the hoisting mechanism and other auxiliaries = Rs 250• Cost of labor and machining = Rs 400• Net cost of the device = Rs 2400

MARKET RESEARCH AND IMPACT• The market for the product includes whole of rural Indian population

and some of the water• scarce urban areas like Chennai. This comprises around 70% of

India’s population. The• exact number being 70cores. Assuming around 10 % of them will

actually be interested in• buying this product the demand for the product is 70*.1/5 = 1.4 crore

units.• This makes the market size to come up to around Rs 140 crore.The impact of this kind of a product to the rural

Indian will be tremendous. One of thegreatest problems facing the Indian villages is that of drinking water. Water ranks very highon the United Nations’s list of scarce commodities that need urgent conservation measures.In the desert and other semi-arid regions this device will prove to be a great life saver.
