Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) has certain standards for drinking water quality with regard to organic, inorganic and microbial species. Its range lies in between 20-100 TDS. Solar driven reverse osmosis desalination of brackish water reduces operational cost and improves environmental sustainability. Small-scale photovoltaic-powered reverse osmosis (PVRO) desalination plants can provide fresh water to remote communities that do not have sufficient natural sources. For these systems to be practical, they must be both technically and economically feasible. So, we are modifying the conventional RO system by using natural elements and at final stage we are going to make water alkaline by using various natural elements which is healthier for the human body. Photovoltaic solar energy powered reverse osmosis system can be the best option in the schedule and isolated areas at the world that are suffering from a shortage of electricity and pure drinking water. The efficiency of such system is more concern in the areas where the water sources are very limited so, we are focusing on the performance of the system to increase system efficiency and improve feasibility of the RO system.
