Converting RO Wastewater into Flames – Dual Use of Water and Energy
Millions of residences and office establishments operate RO purifiers every day to access safe drinking water. However, it costs nearly 2–3 liters of wastewater to be flushed for every sanitized water obtained. The wastewater is usually flushed down, accompanied by large water wastage. While the world is facing a surge of energy scarcity in which energies like LPG, petrol, and diesel become expensive and unsustainable.
My idea is to develop a system that converts RO wastewater into usable flames. The scientific principle here is that RO wastewater contains a high concentration of salts and minerals, which can be electrolyzed to release hydrogen gas. This hydrogen can then be used as a clean, high-energy fuel to produce flames. In this way, instead of discarding wastewater, we transform it into a valuable energy resource.
This solution fills two big gaps:
Water Management: It minimizes wastage from RO membranes.
Sustainable Energy: It is another alternative to conventional sources of energy without increasing carbon levels.
Its users are:
Families and populations depending on RO purifiers.
Those businesses and eateries that require lots of water and fuel.
Environment, as it reduces wastage and carbon foot-print simultaneously.
This issue is important to me because I myself can see how much water is wasted in the house via the RO system, yet I can see how expensive and environment-contaminating normal energies are. If we can combine these two problems into one solution, then resources will be conserved and sustainability will be encouraged.
