Now a day’s Reverse osmosis process is very popular in water treatment industry to get good quality of water. But it is also required to consider the minimum power consumption to drive this R.O plant. Solar R.O plant is the latest concept for cost effective process other than other conventional methods. It is very suitable for small scale industries or small volume requirement.
Solar R.O system can be used to purify water from any kind of sources like ponds, rivers & bore wells. The Solar R.O system is made of two parts,
1. Power generation unit.
2. Desalination unit.
For power generation, electric is supplied by solar PV array & batteries will be linked to supply that power. PV generated energy is stored in a battery bank. The loads are powered by the stored unit.
For R.O desalination process consist of a High Pressure Pump, Membrane unit & a pressure control valve.
Why Solar R.O plant is used?
As we know that almost 50% population of India mainly in rural area are not connected to power supply. So if they get an opportunity to get purified drinking water by using solar power, it will be blessings to them. So Indian Government is also trying to focus on solar system. Government is also wants to make us use solar system to save conventional source of power.
R.O plant driven by solar system is very popular because it is very cost effective & can be used at different tourist spots, for temporary requirement & also in remote places. It will be the ultimate solution for power supply in India in near future.
