Narippaiyur, a village in Ramanathapuram District, a drought prone area situated\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0South-East\u00a0corner\u00a0of\u00a0Tamil\u00a0Nadu will benefit from 20,000 litres per day of fresh water produced from sea water \u2013 thanks to the solar thermal Forward Osmosis (FO) sea water desalination system installed in the place.<\/p>\n

The customized demand driven convergent water solution through FO will supply two litres of good quality drinking water per person per day for 10,000 people in the village, successfully overcoming a major drinking water shortage in the village. The FO system facilitates high recovery, low energy consumption, potential for resource recovery, especially in solutions of high osmotic pressure, less fouling of the membrane because of low pressure operation, easier and more effective cleaning of the membrane, longer membrane life and lower operating costs.<\/p>\n

Tamil Nadu IIT Madras in collaboration with Empereal \u2013 KGDS Renewable Energy have successfully established and demonstrated this system to address prevalent and emerging water challenges in Mission Mode in the village.<\/p>\n
