Abstract

The FBD rainwater purification system exists to provide clean drinking water for the Waterpod Project. The Waterpod is designed to be a sustainable, navigable living space, showcasing the critical importance of the environment and serves as a model for new living technologies. The FBD rainwater purification system uses a sediment filter, an activated carbon filter, and a.5 micron ceramic filter, to help efficiently process water aboard the Waterpod. In addition it uses a First Flush system to remove a set amount of water at the beginning of a rainfall; water that would otherwise contain contaminats and sediment.
