Objective
- To develop a compact low-temperature sea (or) grey water system., Reduce grey water discharges from households, industrial wastewater (or) community level wastewater by 70% or greater., To optimize the operation of the system, for effective and minimal utilization of thermal and electrical energy resources.
Description
- The burgeoning global population and industrial expansion are exponentially increasing the demand for fresh water. Addressing this challenge requires innovative solutions. One such promising approach is reclaiming usable water from household, community level and industry level wastewater disposals., Our goal is to design a system that can be easily installed with minimal maintenance cost of the system. By providing access to quality reclaimed water (or) salty ground water, it contributes to a more resilient and eco-friendly future.
Impact
- Individual households and residential communities, especially in urban areas., Areas having high salty ground water near the seashore., Businesses, especially those with high water usage like hotels, laundries, and car washes., Municipality as it can enhance their environmental sustainability credentials., Produce 1000 liters per day of fresh water with an average water quality of less than 10 ppm., The quality of water can be optimized based on the requirement., Less maintenance cost.
