Cost Analysis Custom-made SMART PHOTOCAT REACTOR Price (RM) Commercial reactor available in the market Pyrex Glass Tube 1,200     RM 20,000 CPC Mirror 800 Water Feed Tank 700 Diaphragm Pump 350 Flow Meter 200 Photovoltaic solar panel 300 Battery converter 2000 Others  1000 Total cost 6,550   The Pyrex glass tube was installed in the pipe frame to form a panel reactor. Usefulness  Portable photocatalytic reactor which can be installed in any location for CECs removal.  Combine with superior adsorptive nanocomposite to degrade the contaminant from any source of wastewater at faster rate.  Adjustable pyrex tube for efficient flow rate of the adsorbent and modifiable degree of slanting to capitalize the collection of sunlight.  PVC pipe was cut with the length of 50mm using a pipe cutter.  Pipe frame was formed by connecting the PVC pipe between the valve and another pipe using PVC glue. CPC mirror was bent 30mm at the end for both side during bending process using shearing machine. INVENTOR: NUR AINA MARDHIAH BINTI BADRUL HISHAM, DR. ROSMAWATI BINTI NAIM, HAIRUL HISHAM BIN ISMAIL.

Product Background  The product powered by photovoltaic solar panel is an efficient system which can be remotely installed in any onsite location for CECs removal.  Photocatalyts combined with superior adsorptive nanocomposite to degrade the contaminant from any source of wastewater at faster rate. Industrial Partner  Ranhill SAJ Sdn. Bhd    Product Image and Product Characteristics  Novelty/ Originality  Utilizing compound parabolic collector (CPC) mirror for effective and maximize collection of sunlight.  Flexible number of pyrex glass tube for adsorbent liquid flow and modifiable degree of slanting for efficient sunlight receiving.  Wireless operated photocatalytic reactor which is powered by photocatalytic solar panel . State of  the Art/ Methods    CPC mirror was cut for 7 pieces during cutting process using the cutter. The panel reactor, water feed tank, flow meter and diaphragm pump was installed in the reactor frame. CPC mirror was installed 15mm at the back of the panel reactor for every row. A metal rod and solar panel were installed at the reactor. Marketability & Commercialisation   Potential Clients  Industry or factory used to treat wastewater.  Taliwork Group, Salcon Engineering Berhad, Darco Water Engineering.   Smart and custom-made photocatalytic reactor with adjustable pyrex glass tubing and equipped with photovoltaic solar panel are suitable for any onsite installation at remote area which does not have continuous power supply.  Combination of adsorptive nanocomposites materials; perovskite lanthanum orthoferrite (LaFeO3)-modified chitosan would increase the removal efficiency at varies operation condition which depends on the sources of wastewater.   Cost-effective photocatalytic reactor system which three times cheaper than commercial reactor in the market.   Grant  RDU192301 (Development Of Tubular Photocatalytic Reactor For Industrial Wastewater Treatment) – RM 10,000.00  Environmental Impact  CECs pose a severe threat to human health and disturb the ecological balance.  CECs have the potential to induce a large range of acute and long-term effects on human health and ecosystems.
