RESEARCH PREMISE

 Water Safety
 Removal of chemical, bacteria, microbial
contaminants in water
 Decrease high rate of having diarrhea and
getting other diseases from drinking dirty water
Significance of the Study

 The researcher tends to help people on producing potable

water in remote areas by eliminating the bacteria and possible
virus in the water that will cause harm one individual.
 Availability of the system in this study will be beneficial for
the communities living in rural areas or places that are not
reachable by water systems and are still using wells as their
water source.
Main Objective of the Study

To produce potable water by a Hand-pump

Operated Portable Water Purifier using Moringa
Oleifera and Artocarpus Heterophyllus seed with
Reverse Osmosis Membrane and Slow sand
Filtration System.
Specific Objectives of the Study

 Produce a portable water filtration system that is easily

accessible to households most particularly those that are
located in remote areas.
 Reduce or solve problems in remote areas regarding of their
source of water.
Scope and Limitation

 This study will focused on the performance evaluation of the

hand-pump operated portable water purifier using moringa
oleifera and artocarpus heterophyllus seed with reverse
osmosis membrane and slow sand filtration system.
 This study will focused only on seawater in deep wells at
Isla Sombrero, Aborlan, Palawan.

REVERSE OSMOSIS MEMBRANE
 Treatment for waste containing organic substance, waste water from textile, electroplating and
metal finishing, pulp and paper, mining and petrochemical, food processing industries, radioactive
wastewater, municipal wastewater and contaminated groundwater.
 Reverse Osmosis technique is a highly efficient process in terms of recovery and cast effectiveness,
and is easy to operate and to maintain.
 Reverse Osmosis are easy to design and operate, have low maintenance requirement.
 Reverse Osmosis Membrane process can remove simultaneously both inorganic and organic
pollutants.
 Reverse Osmosis Membrane system often require less energy and offer lower capital investment
and operating costs than many conventional treatment system.
 Reverse Osmosis process can considerably reduce the volume of waste streams so that these can be
treated more efficiently by other process such as incineration.
 Described that the process involved Reverse Osmosis is the most efficient way to remove colloidal
and dissolve silica, which can be found in high concentrations in brackish water.
 Studied dilute solution of poly-nuclear aromatic hydrocarbon (PAHs), aromatic amines and
nitrosamines and found rejections of these compounds to be over 99% for polyamide membrane.

AUTHOR/REFERENCE MORINGA OLEIFERA
Fahey (2005)  It is now widely cultivated and has become naturalized in many locations in the
tropics and has as antibiotic ability.

Suleyman et. al., 2009  Conducted a research about Moorings Oleifera and found that the Moringa Oleifera is
the best natural coagulant discovered yet, that can replace aluminium sulphate which
is use widely all around the world.

Alabi and Olayemi, 1994  The seed extract achieved 90% and 95% sedimentation of the suspended particles in
underground water and surface water samples.

Amagloh and Benang, 2009  The powder seed kernel of Moringa Oleifera contains some coagulating properties at
loading the conventional samples.

Oluduro and Aderiye, 2007  Moringa Oleifera seed contains 37.8% protein, 36% fat, 3.67% crud fiber and 9.48%
ash.
 It is also rich in magnesium (129.6 mg/L), potassium (103.5 mg/L), sodium (70.1
mg/L), Ca (34.6 mg/L) and iron (5.4 mg/L).
Anwar and Rashid, 2007)  The Moringa Oleifera seed oil contains oleic acid up to 73.22%.

ARTOCARPUS HETEROPYLLUS SEEDS
 Seeds contains lignans, isoflavones, saponins all phytonutrients and their
health benefits are wide ranging from anti-cancer, anti-aging, antioxidant
and anti-ulcer.
 Jackfruit contains vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium,
potassium, iron, sodium, zinc and niacin among many other nutrients.
 Jackfruit seed has a low caloric content where 100g of jackfruit only
contains 94 calories
 The fruit is a rich source of potassium with 303 mg/100g of jackfruit.
 Studies show that food rich in potassium helps to lower blood pressure.
 Jackfruit Seed is also a good source of vitamin C which is an antioxidant
that protects the body against free radicals, strengthens the immune
system and keeps the gum healthy.

Logsdon et. al., 2002 attractive option as a filter system in both developed and developing countries especially in
rural communities due to its low cost, ease of operation and minimal maintenance
requirement.
Lagenbach et. al., 2009  Slow sand filtration is a simple technology used for pathogen and particle removal in
drinking water purification.
Aslan and Cakici, 2007  The slow sand filter was also tried in biological denitrification of drinking water.
