Abstract— People living in rural area of Myanmar do not get safe drinking water for everyday life. Therefore clear water is needed and simple water purification system play a vital role for most rural area in Myanmar. Water purification process consists of eliminating detrimental chemicals, biological poisons, suspended solids and gases from polluted water. In this paper, water purification with reverse osmosis (RO) and Ultra Violet (UV) system is proposed and implement with solar hybrid energy for water purification. This proposed system is very efficient for sustainable development in Myanmar. The main objective of this paper is breaking up the bacteria containing in water and to support the required clean water for household in rural area. 1m × 2m solar panel is required for this system and this solar panel collect energy from sunlight and then charges 12 V batteries to support energy. This system design has low cost, simple installation and portable use in all location. Moreover, the system must support enough clean water every household.
Key words: Solar energy, Water purification, Rural area, PV panel, Electricity in Myanmar.
I. INTRODUCTION
Water and sunlight are most important natural resources in the world. However, getting clean water is the major problem for living human. The lack of electricity in most rural area of Myanmar faces the problem of using contaminated water in daily life. The geographical location of Myanmar is between latitude 9° 58′ N and 28° 29′ N and longitude 92° 10′ E and 101° 10′ E. Myanmar has a tropical monsoon climate. Myanmar has three seasons in the whole year [5]. The winter season start from October and end to February with average temperature of between 20˚C to 24˚C. The summer season generally start from March to May with the average temperature of between 30˚ C to 35˚C. The rainy season generally start from June to September with the average temperature of between 25˚C to 30˚C. The period between March and May is hottest and get the highest temperature in Myanmar. Although the temperatures are cool in the mountains, the places under 4000ft (1200m) is hot. Due to the condition of high humidity, the weather is uncomfortable in coastal region. Sunshine is plentiful during the dry season, averaging 7 to 10 hours a day. During the rainy season the weather is cloudier and daily sunshine amounts average only 3 to 4 hours a day. Total area or total square miles of Myanmar is 261228. The radiated heat energy from the sun on to the earth converted to horse power is 469×1011. Therefore, total approximate horse power on total area of Myanmar is calculated to be 123×1010, that is the sun’s radiated heat power.
