I-Vitaloop Water Purification System iyibhodlela lamanzi lokuhlunga lesimanje, elakhelwe ngokukhethekile ukwenza ukuhlanza nokuphuza amanzi abe lula noma ngabe ukuphi. Lo mkhiqizo omusha, onobuchwepheshe bokuthinta okukodwa, ungaguqula amanzi avela emithonjeni ehlukahlukene abe amanzi okuphuza ahlanzekile naphephile ngemizuzwana engama-45 nje. Ukuklanywa kwebhodlela nobuchwepheshe kuqeda isidingo sotshani noma ukulinda amanzi ukuba ahlanzeke, ukuletha amanzi ahlanzekile ngokuthinta inkinobho.
Ibhodlela lokuhlunga le-Vitaloop
Inqubo yokuhlanza eyizinyathelo ezi-5 isenhliziyweni yebhodlela lamanzi lokuhlunga i-Vitaloop. Lolu hlelo olubanzi lokuhlunga luqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi ahlanzwa kahle, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi avelaphi. Isigaba sokuqala siqukethe isihlungi semeshi esivalela imfucumfucu emikhulu, esiqinisekisa ukuthi ukungcola okukhudlwana akudluleli ezigabeni ezilandelayo zokuhlanzwa. Lesi sinyathelo sokuqala sibalulekile ukuze kuvikelwe izihlungi ezilandelayo emonakalweni nokuqinisekisa ukuphila kwazo isikhathi eside. Amadili akhethekile okuthenga okokuqala manje ayatholakala kule phrojekthi eyisiqalo eqala cishe ku-$89 noma i-£74 (ngokuvumelana namazinga okushintshanisa amanje).
- Ukuhlunga okunezigaba ezi-5: Kumasekhondi angu-45 nje, ngokucindezela inkinobho, i-Vitaloop iguqula amanzi angabazekayo abe amanzi ahlanzekile, anambithekayo okuphuza, ngenxa yesistimu yayo yokuhlunga ye-NanoFlow™ enezigaba ezi-5.
- Ukunambitheka okuthuthukisiwe: Ngokuhlunga izinsimbi ezisindayo, amakhemikhali, amagciwane namagciwane, i-Vitaloop inikeza amanzi amnandi angaguquguquki.
- Amandla Ahlala Njalo: Ibhethri lethu likugcina umanzi amasonto amabili ngokushajwa okukodwa, okulingana cishe negalani (amalitha ama-4) ngosuku.
- Idizayini Eqinile: Inesisindo esingamagremu angu-500, i-Vitaloop yenziwe nge-BPA-free polypropylene kanye nepulasitiki ye-Tritan, okwenza ibhodlela likwazi ukumelana nomthelela futhi liqine.
Isigaba sesibili sokuhlanza sihlanganisa isihlungi se-carbon esicushiwe. Lesi sihlungi sivalela inzika namakhemikhali, sihlanze amanzi ngokwengeziwe. I-carbon activated i-ejenti eyaziwayo yokuhlanzwa kwamanzi ngenxa yemvelo yayo enezimbotshana kanye nendawo enkulu, eyivumela ukuthi imunce ngokuphumelelayo ukungcola okuhlukahlukene.
Ibhodlela Lamanzi Lokuhlunga Izigaba ezi-5
Isigaba sesithathu sokuhlanzwa sethula isihlungi esiyingqayizivele se-graphene. Ihlanganiswe kusihlungi sekhabhoni esicushiwe, lesi singqimba segraphene siyakwazi ukuhlunga i-chlorine, izibulala-zinambuzane, izinsimbi ezisindayo ne-radon. I-Graphene, ungqimba olulodwa lwama-athomu ekhabhoni ahlelwe ngoju lwezinyosi olunezinhlangothi ezimbili, lunezici ezihlukile ezilwenza lube yinto enhle kakhulu yokuhlunga. Ukwakheka kwayo kwe-athomu kuyivumela ukuthi ibambe izinhlayiya ezincane kakhulu, ngaleyo ndlela iqinisekise izinga eliphakeme lokuhlanzeka kwamanzi.
Isigaba sesine senqubo yokuhlanza sihlanganisa isihlungi se-bromine ne-halogen. Lesi sihlungi sinciphisa amagciwane ayingozi njenge-hepatitis A, i-norovirus kanye ne-rotavirus, iqinisekisa ukuphepha kwamanzi okukhulu. Ukusebenzisa i-halogen bromine ekuhlanzeni amanzi kuyisinyathelo esibalulekile sokuqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi esiwaphuzayo awanawo amagciwane ayingozi.
Uma umkhankaso wokuqongelela imali we-Vitaloop ufinyelela umgomo omisiwe futhi ukukhiqizwa kuhamba kahle, ukuthunyelwa komhlaba wonke kulindeleke ukuthi kwenzeke cishe ngo-December 2023. Funda kabanzi mayelana nephrojekthi yebhodlela lamanzi le-Vitaloop ezigabeni ezingu-5 zokuhlunga, bukela ividiyo yokukhangisa ngezansi.
Ukuphuza amanzi yonke indawo
Isigaba sokugcina senqubo yokuhlanza sisebenzisa isihlungi esincane saseJapane esinembayo. Lesi sihlungi sihlanza amanzi ngezinga elincane kakhulu, sisusa u-99,9999% wakho konke ukungcola. Leli zinga lokunemba liqinisekisa ukuthi amanzi awahlanzekile nje kuphela, kodwa cishe awanawo noma yikuphi ukungcola.
Esinye sezici eziyingqayizivele zebhodlela le-Vitaloop ubuchwepheshe bayo be-DualLoop. Lobu buchwepheshe buhlukanisa izingxenye zokugcwalisa nokuphuza zebhodlela, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi umsebenzisi akaphuzi endaweni efanayo lapho ibhodlela ligcwaliswe khona. Lokhu kuhlukaniswa kugcina amanzi ahlanziwe ehlukene namanzi angenile ebhodleleni, ukugwema noma yikuphi ukuthintana phakathi kwakho kokubili.
Empeleni, ibhodlela le-Vitaloop alisona isihlungi esilula, kodwa isihlanzi samanzi esishintsha ngokwesayensi amanzi eliwaqukethe. Isistimu yayo yokuhlunga ebanzi, ehambisana nomklamo wayo osebenziseka kalula, ishintsha umdlalo embonini yokuhlanza amanzi. Ngohlelo lwe-Vitaloop, okudingeka ukwenze nje ukucindezela inkinobho ukuze ufinyelele amanzi okuphuza aphephile, ahlanzekile.
Ukuze uthole uhlu olugcwele lwezithembiso, ingqopha-mlando, ukusekela okwengeziwe, nezici ezibalulekile zeBhodlela Lamanzi Lokuhlunga Lezinyathelo Ezi-5, dlulela ekhasini elisemthethweni lomkhankaso wokuqoqa izimali zabantu le-Vitaloop ngokuchofoza isixhumanisi esingezansi.
