Solar Water Disinfection System
Solar Water Disinfection System is a water purification system for household based on solar irradiation and solar heating. If necessary, contaminated water(turbid water) is first distilled by using a solar heated low-temperature distillation system to remove any non-volatile solid impurities such as heavy metals. Then the distilled contaminated water is contained in clean and transparent PET bottle or glass bottle and exposed to the sun for a certain amount time allowing the irradiations from the sun to deactivate any pathogenic enteric bacteria. Solar water disinfection method is an effective way to purify drinking water as it is recommended by World Health Organization and it has no additional environmental impacts.
