Water Treatment via Ozonation using PV Panel
Water is considered a primary as well as an essential compound for the survival of life on earth. Every living thing has the fundamental right to be provided with safe and potable water. But unfortunately, the industrial revolution, urbanization, and access to agricultural waste are considered as the primary factors which are playing a vital role in reducing the quality of the water, while not only humans but animals, plants, and aquatic lives use water for their routine functioning. But due to the reduction of the quality of water, several health-hazardous diseases are spreading. Almost 80% of deaths in the whole world are caused by drinking contaminated water because adequate techniques to effectively treat water are not properly utilized or if they are used, these have their own adverse effects which harmfully impact human lives. The decreasing availability of quality drinking water has become one of the major problems worldwide, thus an effective treatment of water is mandatory.
The proposed solution is to make an ozone disinfection system because ozone gas has short existence life with strong oxidizing properties, while it is capable of destroying disease-causing pathogens including viruses, bacteria, parasites, etc. Since ozone gas is generated from ordinary oxygen and converted back to oxygen, it does not yield any residual in the water. Also, ozonation is a more useful, faster, and more economical method because it kills pathogens including bacteria, viruses, and other disease-causing microorganisms. We will be using this technique to treat the water by injecting ozone in water and controlling through Arduino/Raspberry pi while this system will be powered via hybrid mode by using a renewable energy source i.e., PV Panel and WAPDA electricity.
