Product: Water Filter: a device that removes pollutants from tap water

Project Statement
Water filter is a device that removes pollutants such as bacteria, organics, and heavy metals from the tap water.
Various technologies such as ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and adsorption can be used for such purpose.

With the design of the water filter, the manufacturing process is proposed next, followed by a financial analysis to
determine if the proposed product is profitable.

Adsorption or membrane filtration theories and models (McCabe et al. 2005) can be used to design the water
filters.

Students are required to design a faucet water filter for pollutants removal. They can refer to the Environmental
Protection Agency (2013) for more information on the pollutants contained in tap water and Crittenden et al.
(2012) for the basic information on water purification techniques.
