Solar disinfection process for drinking water is a method that is applicable in a household or institutional level. The technology is simple, reliable and operationally cheap for it requires only energy from the sun to run it. Synergetic action of both heat and radiation (UV-A) from the sun is potent in inactivating and destroying pathogenic microorganisms present in water. The study assesses the local suitability of the solar disinfection process through testing a fabricated Solar Disinfection (SODIS) plant. The set-up basically consists of the raw and treated water tanks, solar reactor for combined heating and irradiation, and piping accessories. Tests for thermal and microbiological performance proves that solar disinfection through the SODIS Plant is a liable option for water disinfection.
