Our project is basically a full automatic portable solar powered seawater desalination as well

as water purifier to solve the water problem with a smart innovative concept.
We came up with this idea for many reasons :
limited supply of fresh water on earth, seawater desalination is an effective way
to produce this valuable resource. Small-scale seawater desalination technology has
incomparable
advantages, such as small footprint, easy transportation and simple and flexible installation
[1].
Ordinary users who lack access to fresh water, such as those in long-distance ships, can
obtain freshwater easily.
Why we only focus on RO membrane desalination technology?
Desalination technology is increasingly becoming important to meet the increasing
worldwide water
demand. Various technologies are available but they suffer from various drawbacks like large
power
input (but RO find the solution since reverse osmosis (RO) desalination
has low energy consumption because it is pressure-activated systems unlike traditional
methods such as thermal desalination which require more power) and high CO2 emissions.
work critically assessed the currently available technologies and
concluded that RO desalination technology can handle feed water with high salinity (up
to 67,000ppm) and produce low salinity water (10ppm) with minimum running cost and low
environmental impact .Moreover,
it is compact structure,
It has lower energy consumption in theory, has no secondary pollution, and can
effectively remove other ions that are harmful to the human body and metal pipes and the RO
desalination process is used by
approximately 80% of the total desalination plants worldwide
