Operation scheme and maintenance of parabolic solar desalination with pv pump system for isolated island

Abstract

Water is very important for all living things. Without adequate and sustainable water, the life we know today will not be on the face of the earth. Not only needed for basic needs of life, but water is also needed to produce various products with modern technology. The issue of clean water is not only limited in number but also in uneven distribution. This makes not all regions have access to the same clean water, especially the outer island island in Indonesia. One of the islands that has a problem with clean water is the island of Marore and Kawalasu, North Sulawesi. The island which is located on the border between Indonesia and the Philippines has always had difficulties with clean water every dry season because there is no clean water source to get clean water residents are forced to buy from docked ships. In this paper is proposed an Eco Water Treatment by using Parabolic Solar Concentrator and Photovoltaic Pump. This method consists of two main parts, namely PV Sea Water Pump and Solar PV-Distillator so that it can be used to meet the needs of residents in Marore and Kawalasu islands.
