This invention addresses the challenges of rainwater harvesting and filtration from multiple surfaces of varying sizes. Conventional systems are costly, inefficient, or inflexible, often requiring separate equipment for each surface or oversized systems that increase expenses without proportional benefits. The problem intensifies when dealing with unpredictable rainfall volumes and diverse surface areas, making existing solutions impractical and costly.
The invention introduces a Multiplex Pre-Filtering Hydraulic Control Equipment that harmonizes rainwater from multiple collection points into a single system, automatically balancing flow rates to optimize filtration. A key innovation is the Homogenizing/Dispersing Device, which mixes incoming water to ensure uniform distribution and prevent overloading any specific filter element. The system uses Flow Controllers to adjust water levels and pressure, ensuring optimal filtering efficiency regardless of rainfall intensity. This allows for scalable, modular configurations without the need for custom solutions for each unique setup.
A second aspect of the invention is the Conjugated Modular Filtration System, which allows gradual expansion by integrating additional filtering elements and collection areas as needed. This flexible approach significantly reduces installation and maintenance costs while ensuring high filtration efficiency under various weather conditions.
Benefits
1. Cost-Efficiency: Modular design lowers initial investment and operational costs.
2. Scalability: Easily expandable to accommodate new collection surfaces or increased rainfall.
3. Efficiency: Prevents filter overload and maintains consistent pressure, even during heavy downpours.
4. Customization: Adapts to various installation scenarios, ensuring reliable water filtration.
Broader Impact
By making rainwater harvesting more affordable and adaptable, this invention promotes sustainable water management, reducing reliance on treated municipal water and decreasing environmental impacts. It also supports urban areas by optimizing the use of available surfaces for water collection, promoting resource efficiency and resilience against water scarcity.
