  1. EDSGN 100 Project 2:Water Filtration System Team 2 Kevin West, Tom Dinh, Even Armstrong, Tyler Anderson

  2. Sequence Of Project • External Search/Product Analysis • Literary Review, Patent Search, Benchmarking • Product Dissection • Initial Assessment • Customer Needs Gathering • Customer Needs Assessment (Hierarchal Needs List, AHP) • Concept Generation • Individual Design Creation

  3. Project Management • Kevin • Needs Assessment • Background Research • Presentation • Evan • Literary Review • Patent Review • Pictures • Thomas • Needs Assessment • Progress Report • Tyler • Background Research • Benchmarking • Communal • Brainstorming • Concept Generation

  4. Project Management Worksheet

  5. External Research • Location: Nigeria • Oil Production: Economic Backbone • 9th largest in the world • 80% of foreign exchange earnings • One of the fastest growing economies • Urban and Rural Nigeria • Filtration • Goal: Remove all harmful materials from water • Top priority: Kill all bacteria that causes disease. • More information in AHP

  6. More About Nigeria • Many rivers in Nigeria • Major Rivers: Niger and Benue • 35% of people have access to clean water • Community ownership and operation of rural water sources. • Many filters are not operational.

  7. Product Dissection Silver-Impregnated Activated Carbon Membrane filter of 5 micron size Brita Filter

  8. Literature Search • According to several reports, some form of Ceramic Filtration with activated carbon has been proven the most cost-efficient and effective way of purifying the waters of Africa. • 100% of the water that was filtrated with the Ceramic Filter was free of bacteria, while water that was not filtered was only 15.5% free from bacteria. • In a report by UMI, they claim that water treatment by Ceramic Filtration reduces diarrhea by its consumers by 30-40%. Diarrhea is a major cause of death in developing countries because it causes the person to become dehydrated

  9. Patent Search • Types of Possible Filtrations • Coal Filter, Paper Filter, Micro Screen Filter, Iodine, Ultraviolent Light, Boiling Water, Portability

  10. Benchmarking • Scale: 1 is the lowest…4 is the highest • Compared 4 different filters • Carbon/Charcoal Filter, Brita Water Filter, UV radiation, Ceramic Filter

  11. AHP • AHP made through research • Three main categories • People & Use: How many people can use it and how simple is it to operate? • Purification: How well does it clean out harmful materials in the water? • Production: How easy is it made, fixed, and maintained?

  12. AHP (continued)

  13. Concept Generation • Most important feature is purification of water • Make filter with material naturally available to Nigeria • Easy to maintain and fix • Simple Design

  14. Concept Generation
