Mobile solar aerator

Abstract

Oxygen is main essential need of survival not only on land but also in water body. Life of aquatic organisms depends on it. Due to increase in human population and industrial waste, the indulgence of waste materials into the water body leads adverse effect on percentage of dissolved oxygen. With this the scarcity of life also increases. There are many methods introduced to increase the dissolved oxygen level in water. The implementations are difficult and highly expensive. Also, the implementations are fixed for certain boundary. Aeration is one of the processes that increases the dissolved oxygen level and helps in circulation of water. The aerators invented till now are stationary. They are powered by external supply which makes it a main constraint to be fixed for a boundary. This paper proposes an innovative idea of aeration using renewable energy for the process and making it mobile would make it more efficient and economical. Using solar panels to power the aerator and robotics technology for movement of aerator makes it more reliable and efficient. This kind of implementation gives control over the movement of aerator. The whole process was analyzed, experimentally tested and modeled from view point of informatics, simulations and flowcharts for optimization before the final implementation.
