5 minutes to drink pool water and drinkable to develop equipment with industry -academia collaboration

Assuming the ensuring drinking water in the event of a large -scale disaster, a device that allows the pool water stored in the school to be used in about 5 minutes has been developed.Applied filtration devices and "deep -ultraviolet rays", which is considered to have a high bactericidal effect.The device is mounted on a light wagon car, making it easier to move to the affected areas that require drinking water.With an industry -academia collaboration initiative, we are aiming to start sales next spring.

Deep -ultraviolet rays have a shorter wavelength among ultraviolet rays and have a high bactericidal effect.

The comprehensive water treatment company in Wakayama City, Laurel, the civil engineering company "Okamoto Gumi" in Kihoku -cho, Mie Prefecture, and Yoko Eguchi and the Faculty of Biological and Biological and Biology of Kinki University cooperated.Utilizing the deep -ultraviolet LED irradiation device of the medical device manufacturer "Nissho" (Tokyo), a light wagon vehicle was remodeled to make a filtration device that can be moved.

 プール水、飲用可まで5分 産学連携で装置開発

If the water flipped from the pool is passed through a multiple filtration device, and the deep -ultraviolet rays are irradiated, the filtered water comes out of the faucet.In about 5 minutes, it can be used for drinking water that clears the same item as tap water.

In August and September this year, I experimented with the pool of the former Wakayama City Ominato Elementary School twice, which had not been replaced for about 5 years into drinking water.

As a result, the first experiment could not meet all standards in the same item as tap water, but in the second experiment with improved filtration devices, we succeeded in satisfying all standards of all standards.

On November 15, a presentation for the press will be held in this pool.The water in the pool was shown to be the same standard water as normal tap water.

In the future, it is expected to play an active role in securing drinking water as soon as possible, such as evacuation shelters in the event of a large -scale disaster.The pond water may contain pesticides, so it is assumed to use pool water even in the event of a large -scale disaster.

The Director of Okamoto Gumi, the Director of Okamoto Gumi, was affected by the heavy rains on the Kii Peninsula in 2011, and struggled to secure drinking water. "Water is the water of life."If the technology developed this time can help you to save your life, you can use it. "
