Abstract:
The aim of this research was to investigate a number of optimisation possibilities for a continuous flow solar water disinfection system and to assess its long term sustainability as a water treatment solution for rural areas of developing countries. The solar disinfection process involves exposing contaminated water to UV radiation present in sunlight, which has the capacity to inactivate a wide range of pathogenic microorganisms. The continuous system aims to maximise the quantities of water treated, by continuously disinfecting water in a centralised manner during daylight hours, which can then be stored and collected as required.
