6 FAQs about [Solar Photovoltaic Panel Disinfection Method]
What is solar water disinfection?
Solar water disinfection, in short SODIS, is a type of portable water purification that uses solar energy to make biologically-contaminated (e.g. bacteria, viruses, protozoa and worms) water safe to drink.
Can solar water disinfection be used for microbiologically contaminated water?
Microbiologically contaminated water is filled into transparent containers and exposed to full sunlight during 6 hours. Very turbid water with a turbidity of more than 30 NTU cannot be used for SODIS. Solar water disinfection (SODIS) is a water treatment method that:
