Introduction :One billion people do not have access to clean drinking
water.
95% of water-related deaths occur in the developing world.
A person can only live for a few days without water.
Our Project is designed to provide clean drinking water in
remote regions and emergency conditions like flood, famine,
earthquakes, and tsunami.
It is based on the concept of reverse osmosis.
Reverse osmosis is carried out manually by using ‘Pedal
Power’. 2
Reverse OsmosisTwo liquids of different concentrations separated by semi-permeable membrane.
Less saturated solvent naturally flows into more saturated region.
Pressure is applied to reverse this
process and is known as reverse
osmosis or RO.
Dirty water flows through
membrane thereby filtering it.

Objective:Pedal powered water purification by RO method meets the needs of people
without requiring any electrical energy.
This filtration system could be brought into remote areas and emergency
conditions like flood, famine earthquakes etc
The purpose of this project is to design and fabricate a small scale water
purification kit which requires minimal maintenance and which is cost
efficient.

METHODOLOGYIn operation by pedalling the cycle man power is converted into
mechanical energy which is further converted into hydraulic energy
in pump.
Rotor of the pump is attached to rear wheel of bicycle which runs
due to friction.
Pump pumps the water to sediment filter with pressure where
dissolved inorganic solids (such as salts) are removed from water. 6
METHODOLOGY
Then water is pumped to carbon filter which removes organic matters,
chemicals, contaminants and chlorides using chemical absorption.
After carbon filter water is passes through the RO Membrane
Here water is converted into pure water by reverse osmosis process, where
impure water is separated and pure water is collected in container.

FUTURE SCOPE
• In disaster prone areas of flood, famine, earthquakes etc.
• In villages where there are no pure water and electric facilities.
• It can also be used for house hold applications.
• Filtering local sources of water would eliminate the need to import
large quantities from elsewhere, saving relief funds for alternate uses.

Conclusion:
Simple in design and portable.
Economical and less maintenance.
Effective means for providing potable water.
It is viable.
Bicycle also acts as an easy way to transport
water over far distances.
