Abstract
In water purification, every water purification unit makes sure to apply the appropriate chemicals to
the specific need and locations. In this case, various chemicals have to be applied to separate the mud
or any substance that has been mixed with the water and destroy the micro-organisms such as
harmful bacteria in the water and purify the water. From time to time a coagulant like alum has to be
applied to the water purification process. Here the chemical substance has to be used as a powder for
those processes. This paper comes up with a solution to prevent the dust from mixing with the person
with the substance as well as the environment. The dust may be released into the environment and
into the body of the person performing that task. As a solution for that, there is a requirement called
for a dust extractor for the water treatment plants. The main objectives of this case are contributing to
the increase of local production at a lower cost and helping to retain local currency here and enlarge
the technical knowledge and their production, which encourage the people by avoiding harmful
processes for the global. A dust extractor is a device that collects suspended dust. They have filters
that effectively separate large particles from microscopic particles. The importance of the dust
extractor is, frequently utilized as an air contamination control gadget to keep up or improve air
quality. But its special feature is that although there is a dust extractor machine as a solution, they are
expensive and inefficient and cannot be used for a long time. This paper mention something about
designing a dust extractor for this at no extra cost. This is most suitable for water treatment plants.
This is an attempt to manufacture this machine at a very low cost and suits the economic level of Sri
Lanka. As well as using a simple mechanism.
