CHENNAI: Soon, thousands of students from 60 schools in Chennai will receive drinking water from nowhere.Chennai Corporation is working to establish air Dehumidifiers (AME) in 60 schools, which convert atmospheric water vapor.
Power Corporation said machines take in air and cooled to the point where the water vapor condenses. This water is collected and passed through activated carbon microns and UV filters. And the machine lets out fresh and purified water. The civic body had recently installed a pilot project, along with a private company, Akash Ganga, to provide drinking water in its School of Chennai, Saidapet.
A corporate officer of high rank said: "We wanted to ensure the quality of drinking water in schools so we are planning to install exhaust humidity at an estimated cost of Rs 67.32 lakh is in 60 schools.". If you are successful, the machines would create other schools too, he said. However, the machine needs a continuous supply of electricity. It consumes about 0.4 units of energy to produce one liter of clean water. The machines will be installed at a cost 98 000 rupees each and can produce up to 120 liters a day.
