INTRODUCTION
Distillation is one of many processes available for water purification, and sunlight is one of several forms of heat energy that can be used to power that process. Sunlight has the advantage of zero fuel cost but it requires more space (for its collection) and generally more costly equipment. It is not necessary to boil water to distill it. Simply elevating its temperature, short of boiling, will adequately increase the evaporation rate.
WORKING
CONCLUSION
It produces water of high quality. Maintenance is almost negligible. Any type of water can be purified into potable water by means of this process The system will not involve any moving parts and will not require electricity to operate. Wastage of water will be minimum unlike reverse osmosis in which almost 30% of the loaded water flows out in form of unusable water that can only be used for toilet or other cleaning purposes.
