| Abstract |
A growing number of people are dying of waterborne diseases after drinking water that is not purified water is increasing. The portable water purifier system generates electricity by self-energizing when moving, operating the water pump and UV-C LED.
Three-stage purification system using membrane filter, carbon, iodine resin filter and UV-C LED can prevent waterborne disease.
The system can reduce the number of victims of waterborne diseases by removing germs such as E-Coli, S. Typhimurium, and L.monocytogenes. The system proposed in this paper can actively respond to preventing waterborne diseases in developing countries and has been developed as a usable device in line with the local environment. |
