Title of Micro-Project : Prepare a report on household water filtration unit

1.0 Rationale

An Introduction to RO Water Purifier. The Reverse osmosis water purification system

or RO water purifier is the most popular water purifier in the field of water purification
system. RO water purifier is mostly based on the reverse osmosis or RO technique. This
technique is the opposite of the simple osmosis process. The difference between Reverse
Osmosis and carbon filtration is the presence of the high-quality Membrane. Activated
Carbon Filtration is most effective at removing or reducing impurities and contaminants
such as chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds, poor taste and odour from water.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water treatment process that removes contaminants from
water by using pressure to force water molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
During this process, the contaminants are filtered out and flushed away, leaving clean,
delicious drinking water. RO water is good for drinking because of removal of arsenic , lead
and other harmful element by different 2 process carrying by R0 purifier. According to
WHO report RO water is not safe water. It is unhealthy water. Ro purifier removes all
impurities as well as minerals from the water. RO is acronym for Reverse Osmosis, you
must recollect your High School Chemistry UV is acronym for Ultra Violet rays, UV rays
is used to kill the microbes and germs. TDS is the acronym for Total Dissolved Solids. TDS
is adjustable in certain models of Kent Water Purifier. The advisable limit for TDS is 60 to
75.

2.0 Aim/Benefits of Micro Project:

The primary aim of the water filtration project is to significantly improve the quality of
drinking water by effectively removing contaminants, pathogens, and impurities. This
initiative seeks to provide sustainable and accessible solutions for communities that lack
reliable clean water sources, emphasizing affordability in both manufacturing and
maintenance to reach low-income populations. Additionally, the project aims to minimize
environmental impact by utilizing eco-friendly materials and processes while raising
awareness about the importance of clean water and promoting water conservation practices.
