Project Name : Eutrophication & Pollution
Theme Name : Environmental Issue and Concerns
Eutrophication is perhaps the most pertinent problem in India, restricting the nourishment of weeds in a water reservoir. This project has been designed to accomplish the first step towards this problem that is the removal of weeds mechanically and then keeping it aside for
drying; secondly we treat the water in a different treatment plate where water purification steps are performed (except chlorination). The treated water is again sent back and is mixed with the weeds formerly collected and put together into a shrug digester which prevails in anaerobic conditions.
Anaerobic microbes convert the organic materials into several gases. The main component (Approx 85%) is methane (CH4). Methane produced is transported through pipes to the thermal power plant, where methane is ignited &allowed to boil the water producing steam and under high pressure & is let out at intervals. The steam thus let out enters the turbine and shaft is rotated to produce electricity via a generator electricity produced here is transmitted thereafter. Electricity can also be produced from the treated water by parsing the treated water through a hydro electric power plant.
