Arsenic poisoning

Bangladesh is experiencing the largest mass poisoning in human history, because of arsenic in the ground water. Around 80 million Bangladeshis may be affected (WHO)

3

Lack of electricity and safe water

80% of the population live in rural areas.Around 70% of them are not connected to the

national grid electricity.

4

Decentralised energy

Decentralised systems for the supply of electricity are the most appropriate solutions for rural dwellers.

5

The project

This project is a pilot investment in Bangladesh

Livestock and vegetable waste biogas CHP plant integrated with membrane distillation.

The purpose is to make both electricity and clean water from the same bio energy.

6

Biogas driven engine and membrane distillation process

Distributed powerSafe drinking water and Fertilizer all from one input which is manure or

vegetable waste.

Pilot project description

8

Biogas engine from JDEC

Small scale electricity productionWell proven technology for small scale CHPBiogas can be used directly in the gas engineHeat of exhaust gas is used for ground water

heatingCommercially availableTechnically and economically feasible

9

Membrane distillation technology (MD)

Conventional Membrane distillation

Conventional small-scale technologies could not remove the arsenic sufficiently

Conventional large plants are not feasible for small and rural areas

10

Absolutely pure water
