This is Mini Project focuses on the clean water crisis that affect so many people across the world. It plays a detrimental role on the quality of living of those affected. It creates diseases, affects crops and increases fatatlity rate of the affected area. This out focus for MP2, choose an area affected by this, come up with alternatives, choose one and justify it.
Here's a more detailed description from the project itself after the jump
The world's water supplies are facing new threats; affordable, advanced technologies could make a difference for millions of people around the world. Lack of clean water is responsible for more deaths in the world than war. About 1 out of every 6 people living today do not have adequate access to water, and more than double that number lack basic sanitation, for which water is needed. Some countries have far more water than their population needs while in others, half the population does not have access to safe drinking water. By some estimates, each day nearly 5,000 children worldwide die from diseases resulting from unclean sanitation water. The new threats to the world’s water supplies demand affordable and advanced design solutions that could impact millions of people around the world.
Here's a link to our project if it neccessary to delve further into out project for more information.
Our ultimate solution was a fossil fuel powered water purifier. It had an above ground storage tank, used the ground water as its sourcem and utilized microfiltration with chemical additions. This alternative was choses using a design matrix and using a weighted scale, considered alternatives and selected the best one based on its customer requirements and the engineering specs we chose.
