Water Harvesting System
Journey of Creating a Water Harvesting System
Most areas of my country is an arid or semi- arid regions and supplying water for people has gained high importance.
Despite this fact, there are unit potential opportunities in my country for water harvesting from air, fog and sea water. It is three years that I am trying to design suitable products for different regions of my country for inexpensive water harvesting systems.
I developed three different design for three different regions.
1.Vertical mesh fog-harvesting system
for coastal, arid and semi-arid regions
2. Underground mounting system for hot and humid regions
3. Deep Qanat-mounting systems for high arid regions.
These system designed according to new material engineering achievements based on super-hydrophilic polymers and nanographene coating
My team are worked on a novel water harvesting system for massive traditional facilities called “Qanat” in high arid regions
These are deep mounting systems and are able to gather huge amount of water. The condensers will be mounting in 30 meter underground.
Coating of these condenser surface with a layer of grapheme, just one atom thick, can improve the rate of heat transfer by a factor of four. Cotton coated mesh with PNIPAAm polymer can absorb 340% of its own weigth of water from misty air-compared with only 18% usual cotton.
A new optimization was done for dayson Airdrop system. A prototype of modified system was fabricated. The modified system was able to gather 200 liter per day in relative humidity of %65. The system was mounted underground in 1 meter depth. The next generation of these kind of system is under preparation to gather more than 1000 liter per day in the same situation. The new system is inexpensive, portable with easy installation and is able to be mounted undersea for coastal applications
