Solar Basket Stills

Solar Stills are an efficient and eco-friendly solution for purifying water using solar energy. These systems are designed to distill and purify water by harnessing the heat of the sun to evaporate and then condense water, providing clean, potable water from contaminated sources.
 
Key Features:
Evaporation and Condensation Process: Solar stills use the sun’s heat to evaporate impure water, which is then condensed on a cool surface and collected as pure water. This replicates the natural rain-making process, where water evaporates, rises, and then condenses as it cools.
Types of Solar Stills:
Large-Scale Concentrated Solar Stills: Designed for extensive applications, these systems utilize large areas to capture and concentrate solar energy for water purification.
Condensation Traps: Smaller-scale systems that focus on trapping and condensing water vapor efficiently.
Purification Efficiency: The distillation process effectively removes impurities such as salts, heavy metals, and microbiological organisms, resulting in clean, potable water.
Transparent Collector: In a solar still, the impure water is placed outside the collector, which is transparent to sunlight. This design allows sunlight to penetrate and heat the water, facilitating the evaporation process.
Cooling and Collection: The evaporated water vapor condenses on the cool inner surface of the still and drips into a collection tank. This ensures that only purified water is collected.
Eco-Friendly: Solar stills use renewable solar energy, making them a sustainable option for water purification, especially in areas where drinking water is scarce.
 
Benefits:
Clean Water Production: Provides purified water by removing contaminants and impurities, ensuring safe drinking water.
Low Operational Cost: Utilizes solar energy, reducing the need for external energy sources and minimizing operational costs.
Simple Design and Maintenance: Designed for easy setup and low maintenance, suitable for both small-scale and large-scale applications.
