4. OBJECTIVE
• We designed this device to monitor and purifie the water
body without any human involvement.
• To get the instant information about the waterbody via
remote sensing.
• Device with low energy consumption, less maintenance,
flexible, eco friendly are other objectives of this device.

5. ABSTRACT
The lack of clean water is a problem that plagues many areas of the world today. Most of the current technologies
available to combat this problem are expensive and consume too much power to be effective in rural regions of the
planet. The solutions that do not consume an excess of power generally require expensive and time consuming filter
maintenance. The use of chemical processing mechanisms of purification is an affordable solution. With the idea of
low cost and sustainability in mind, we plan to develop a water monitoring and purification system that will take
advantage of natural energy in order to power a water purification system. Our device floats on water and detect the
contaminants present in water and purify the water to a great extent. The main attraction of our device is that it will
send the details to the approved authorities about the particular water body. It also records the basic conditions like
temperature and PH.

6. INTRODUCTION
Water pollution is a major global problem which requires ongoing evaluation and revision of water resource policy at
all levels (international down to individual aquifers and wells). It has been suggested that water pollution is the leading
worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily. Water is
typically referred to as polluted when it is impaired by anthropogenic contaminants and either does not support a
human use, such as drinking water, or undergoes a marked shift in its ability to support its constituent biotic
communities, such as fish.
By this device we monitor and purify major contaminants present in water like heavy metals(zinc, arsenic, selenium,
cadmium, nickel), chlorine and pathogens. Our device has the capability of moving around the water body in order to
have a good survey about the water. It continuously floats on the water body and it also collects the oil contaminants
present at the top surface of the waterbody.

7. COMPONENTS:
 DETECTORS
 PURIFIERS
 A CAMERA
 A GPS
 OIL COLLECTOR
 SOLAR PANEL

8. DETECTORS
DETECTORS USED FOR
Colorimeter To detect presence of chlorine
Biosensor To detect presence of pathogens
Aqua meter To detect presence of metals and
ph.
Thermometer To detect temperature.

9. PURIFIERS
PURIFIERS USED FOR
DESULFOBACTERACEAE To remove heavy metals like zinc, selenium and arsenic
LEWATIT TP 207 OR
LEWATIT TP 208
It is an ion exchange resin used to remove heavy metals like
nickel, lead, cadmium
DENITRIFICATION BACTERIA It is used to remove the nitrates, nitrites and ammonia
ROTIFERS It is used to remove the protozoa and floating algae present
in water bodies
VITAMIN C It is used convert the chlorine into harmless chloride
ULTRASONIC WAVES Its used to remove floating algae
OLEO SPONGE To collect oil spill in water
SODA ASH AND ACETIC ACID To control the PH level of water

10. CAMERA
A 360-degree view camera is set up on top of the instrument in
order to have a proper monitor of the whole water body which will
help in proper maintenance of the water body. It can help prevent
the dumping of waste into the water bodies.

11. GPS
A GPS is also added to the device which helps in proper tracking of the
device. The main purpose of the GPS is that if the treatment of the
water requires more additional process than what the device can do the
instrument will send message to the desired authorities regarding the
condition of water and inform them the how bad is the condition of
water and it requires further care

12. WORKING
The instrument is designed in such a way that it float on the water body and
continuously moves throughout the water body. The movement is made possible by
the propellers placed which power by the solar panels placed on top of the device.
The movement is random so that it can cover all the areas of the water body.
Sensors are provided to change coarse when it is hit by any obstacle. The 360-
degree camera along with the continuous movement enables that the water body is
strictly monitored and there is no mischiefs happening to the water

13. During the travel the device stops after particular time in order to check the
condition of the water. The indicators installed inside the device begins their tests
and the result are determined regarding the condition of water based on the results
the purifiers are released in to the water body. The purifier bacteria are stored in
glycerine capsules in an inactivated state which when comes in contact with the
water is activated and begins their work. For example the denitrification bacteria
like Thiobacillus, Micrococcus are a stored in the form of capsules. After testing if
it is found out that the amount of nitrates or ammonia is high the desired amount
of glycerin capsules released in to the water to reduce the amount

14. Since it is large area releasing these capsules in one place is not enough and the
concentration may not be even in the whole area so it is essential for the device
to move and test at different places. The GPS is the main source of contact
between the instrument and humans. All the messages are transmitted through
the GPS be it the conditions of water or about the improper working of the
instrument or even if the capsules have been finished. The instrument also
sends timely report to authorities and it also sends distress messages when the
instrument has been malfunctioned or if there is anything wrong with the
indicators. The instrument can be operated manually using remote control and
it can be changed into automatic mode too.

24. CHEMICAL IMPACTS
The chemicals used in our devices are more of not harmful up to some extend.
But any chemical if not compacted well or not well managed then there is a
risk of
Having water disintegration but this is a huge risk taking place in the world .
Our instrument does not provide any direct disposal of chemicals into the water
The instrument is not only treating the water but are also leaving only those
chemicals that are not harmful for the water body

26. SOLUBLE CAPSULES
• The Pre-dose concentrated water soluble capsules are antibacterial cleaner –
acid detergent packed in pre dose water soluble capsules, for cleaning all
types of bathroom surfaces with deodorizing properties

27. • The chemicals are stored by mechanical methods of placing it in the soluble
capsule. The soluble capsule are containers in which it is not at all harmful
and will get diluted when waters presence is around it and this is how are
controlling and purify our water body.
• These are eco-friendly in nature.
• Once disposed on the water body , the capsule gets dissolved within one min

28. SOLUBLE CAPSULES

29. Overall Closed Length measures how long each sized capsule is
when it has been completely closed shut with the powder inside
The Cap is the shorter part of the capsules that is placed
over the body when it has already been filled.
The Body is the longer end of the capsule that is placed inside the capsule
filling machine holes and filled with the powder.

30. • The capsule can have an amount of grams stuffed inside considering to their composition . The
chemicals which are very much refined are of certain level and they are classified into light ,
normal , dense and fine

31. BACTERIA USED IN OUR DEVICE
• DESULPHOBACTEREASE
• LEWATIT TP 207
• LEWATIT TP 208
• ROTIFERS
• SODAASH AND ACETIC ACID
• DENITRIFICATION BACTERIA

32. DESULFOBACTERACEAE
• Desulfobacteraceae is a group of cell organisms used To remove heavy metals like zinc,
selenium and arsenic. The population of the cells of Desulfobacterium indolicum
increases steadily as biodesulfurization of kerosene progresses, showing that the cells use
the sulfur in the fuel for metabolism leading to both growth and increase in population
• The increase of this cell can in fact increase hardness of water but our device will drop
only one pill at a time and this one pill will at a time
• An amount of 18 soluble capsules are packed and released
at the moment where it needs to be released .

33. Rotifers make up a phylum of microscopic and near-microscopic pseudocoelomatanimals. They were first
described by rev. John harris in 1696, and otherdam construction caused disruption of the downstream lotic
gradient along the series of dams, leading to the development of distinct species in lentic spatial compartments
An amount of 3o capsules are produced at one go or released to the water at that moment
ROTIFERS

34. LEWATIT TP 207 & 208
• Lewatit TP 208 is a weakly acidic cation exchange resin for the selective removal of alkaline earth
cations. it’s a weakly acidic cation exchange resin with chelating imino-diacetate groups for that is
an ion exchange resin used to remove heavy metals like nickel, lead, cadmium and selective
removal of alkaline earth cations .Over excess amount of these bacteria can affect the water body.
• This will result in the water body disintegration. And the treatment will affect the waterbody as a
whole . There will be a influence in the pH level of the water
• The optimum pH range for the ion-exchange of the above mentioned metal ions on Lewatit CNP 80
and Lewatit TP 207 were 7.0-9.0 and 4.5-5.5, respectively. The influence of pH, contact time, metal
concentration and amount of ion-exchanger on the removal process was investigated.
• This is controlled and well checked before placing it to the soluble capsule and 12 capsules each of
lewatits are placed to go at one launch .

35. BAKING SODAAND ACETIC ACID
• Soda ash is used if water is acidic (low pH). Soda ash (sodium carbonate) raise the pH of water
to near neutral when injected into a water system. They do not cause hardness problems in
treated water. Injection systems are a point-of-entry system. A corrosion-resistant chemical feed
pump injects soda ash or sodium hydroxide solution into the water to raise the pH
• Acetic acid injection treats water with a high pH by lowering the pH of water to around 7,
which eliminates the soda taste. Acid injection is a point-of-entry system
• Here only after certain test done by our device to check the pH level of the water then they
release the soda ash and acetic acid into the water without being harmful and the capsule of 7 in
number is set to release to the water at one go

36. DENTRIFICATION BACTEERIA
• The process of denitrification lowers the fertility rate of reproduction of the soil and thus is less
common in areas where the land is rather well-cultivated. But this loss of nitrogen to the
atmosphere can eventually be regained via introduced nutrients, as part of the nitrogen cycle.
Some nitrogen may also be fixated by species of nitrifying bacteria and the cyanobacteria.
• Denitrification also becomes the key pathway for dissimilative nitrate reduction, which is the
process in which nitrates are reduced from the soil, the former being highly toxic for living
organisms. Denitrification tends to produce large amounts of by-products.
• As while passing this bacterial capsules into the water there wont be any harm that can be
possessed and for the process of denitrification to take place only an amount of 15 capsules need
to be passed at one go

38. WATER QUALITY TESTING
• Sometimes the water is not safe enough to drink. After the device have done testing and need to
be sure that the device has done it all.so it is necessary to have a check on it manually There are
basic qualitative observations that quickly determine if water is not safe to consume. However,
there are also many “invisible” substances that must be tested for professionally to identify the
contaminants and to figure out how the specific polluted water can be purified.
• Testing can be done in our device and also Water samples can also be collected and sent to a
professional laboratory
• Water testing is also done to check the need of W.I.P.D and what all capsules need to be released
in order to make the water clean and perfect.

41. COMPARISON WITH THE ALGAE
REMOVING DEVICES

42. DEVICE WITH OZONE TREATMENT

43. DEVICE WITH OZONE TREATMENT
• Ozone treatment of the water has emerged as a proven and cost effective method.
• Chemical by products are fewer with ozone.
• If any harmful microorganisms survive the oxidation, there is the risk that they will survive the
treatment process.
• In ultrasonic water purification sonic waves are continuously passed through water in regular interval
of time. Ultrasonic water purification method does not leave any by products like ozone treatment.
This method is complete ecofriendly and it will not harm other aquatic life.

44. SKIMMER ROBOT

45. SKIMMER ROBOT
• Skimmer robot suck water out of the pool and through the filter system.
• The water then journeys through the plumbing until it reaches the filter, where fine debris such as
dust, pollen, and algae will be captured.
• The skimmer robots are limited to remove simple algae only. Skimmer robots are used in pools to
remove simple algae. It cannot remove complex ones. But the ultrasonic waves rupture the gas
vesicles of any complex blue-green algae and make the water free from algae. Skimmer robots need a
lot of energy to perform its function.

46. COMPARISON WITH OIL REMOVING DEVICES

47. SEA SWARM ROBOTS

48. SEA SWARM ROBOTS
 The mechanism of sea swarm robots is similar to that of WIPD.
 Oil is heated to separate it from the mesh.
 The robots would burn the oil on the spot so they can continue working uninterrupted
 This robot use heat to spate oil from the belt which needs lots of energy and it reduces the efficiency of
the device.
 These robots are not able to identifying the capacity of their belts.
 Continuous manual inception should be there to have an efficient performance.

49. OIL EATING BACTERIA

50. OIL EATING BACTERIA
• Some robots use oil eating bacteria to remove oil from the water surface.
• The problem is that besides oil, the bacteria need other nutrients in greater abundance for their
populations to grow.
• Another problem is that preserving the bacteria in living state require so much care and energy.

51. SWARM OF TINY, SELF-PROPELLING
ROBOTS

52. SWARM OF TINY, SELF-PROPELLING
ROBOTS
• A swarm of tiny, self-propelling robots can clean some metals from contaminated water.
• The robots effectively remove 95% of lead from contaminated water in one hour.
• These robots can only remove lead compounds.
• By this limitation WIPD outstands these tiny, self-propelling robots.

53. SWIMMING MICROBOTS

54. SWIMMING MICROBOTS
• The designed “two-faced” spherical particles to perform the task. One face is made with magnesium,
which reacts with water to produce hydrogen bubbles to propel the microbots. The other face is made
out of alternating iron and gold layers topped by silver nanoparticles. Bacteria stick to the gold and are
killed by the silver nanoparticles.
• Then, because of the iron’s magnetic properties, the microbots are removed easily with a magnet,
without leaving behind any harmful waste in the water. Its process is very simple and fast. But the
removal of microbots should be carefully done. Because there is high chance of leaving behind the
harmful waste. It is a great threat to the aquatic life. Thus because of this problem microbots are not
preferable.

65. CONCLUSION
In these times where the entire world is looking into curbing pollution, we
believe that our project can have a major impact. The biggest advantage of
implementing our idea is that it’s simple. Rather than using sophisticated
technology we utilise what we have in hand. If our idea is implemented in the
industries, monitoring and purification of the water can be done in an efficient
manner. We plan to include further iterations such as notifying when the
pollution is above the accepted level. We intend to explore more in the near
future with a wide range of pollutants and disintegrate them. As well as we are
planning to integrate the size of the device as small as possible.
