ABSTRACT
It is said that third world war will be for water. Water is very precious
source for survival of mankind and it cannot be produced. In our daily life
we are getting water from the water tank. So cleaning of water tank is
very necessary from hygienic point of view. Cleaning of water tank is
done periodically once in a year which is quite a long time. Due to this so
much quantity of water gets polluted and water born diseases causes.
(Around 60%).Contamination of the water is major cause of illness to
mankind and water getting contaminated mostly through improper
maintenance or not cleaning water tank at regular intervals. Automated
water tank cleaning enables to save time and money. Besides there, here
it is no need for you to get down into the water tank to clean it.
Manually cleaning process take lots of water .i.e. via water jet etc… So to
eliminate this we are planning to apply MECHANICAL CLEANSING
OF WATER TANK. In this project we will try to make a device which
will clean water without investing more amount of energy. A prototype
will be developed at lab scale and experiments will be carried out in
laboratory at institute. So the main aim is to provide the techno
economical solution for water tank cleaning.
INTRODUCTION
In this project the proposed system is to replace the manual work in tank cleaning by
automated system. Now-a- days even though automation plays an essential role in all
over applications in the proper cleaning of tank still a challenging task.

1.1) WHY WE SELECTED THIS PROJECT?
‘ Automatic tank Water cleaning and Control System Using auto
mechanism proposed to beat the real time problems.
‘ Due to continuous increase in population ,the need of water storage is
increasing. With increase in storage water sedimentation problem
increases simultaneously, to overcome this problem we proposed this
system.
‘ The waste and sediments produced from the tanks are very harmful to
human beings and to the environment. Our proposed system is to cleaning
and control the
‘ Water contamination level using auto mechanism technique.
‘ Auto mechanism is the major controlling unit and the contamination level
is monitor by municipal. The Device Is Place Across water tank, So That
Only water passes through the filter media and waste particles removed.
‘ To overcome this problem and to protect human life we implement a
design’ Automatic Cleaning System’. We designed our project to use this
in efficient way to control the turbidity of water and with regular filtration
of water, clearance of silt particles and monitor the disposal in frequent
manner.

1.4) WORKING PRINCIPLE
‘ Automatic dirt removal from tank using auto mechanism proposed to
overcome the real time problems. Without manual effort, the problem of waste
water must be removed due to the increasing disease problems from industries
of the surrounding environment.
‘ The dirt accumulate at the bottom of the tank is quite injurious to human
beings and to the environment.
‘ Our proposed system is to clean the tank and control the turbid level using
auto mechanism system. Auto mechanism is the major controlling unit.
‘ In this system we used motor, rollers, filter-belt, battery, frame.
‘ The device is place across tank so that only water flow through filter media.
‘ Waste like dirt, etc. Floating in water are lifted by rotating system which is
connected to frame.
‘ This frame is attached by fixture and fastenings driven by motor (@7rpm).
The energy provided to motor
‘ from battery.
‘ When motor runs the rollers starts to circulate the filter media to absorb the
dirt. The waste particles are lifted and removed out of the tank.

7.1 Empathy
At this stage we discover & learn about the emotional aspect of our user. In order to
identify the problem, we first need to connect to our user emotionally. This stage will
involve use of empathy map.
Page | 22
7.2 Ideation
At this stage we’ll expand our list of user activities to list all possible new situations,
conditions that user faces or may face. Focus on expanding activity list at this stage
using Ideation canvas at this stage includes User Activities, Context, Location,
Situation and props. Problem is identified by random combination of the each type of
information available on Canvas. Often normal activities done under different
situations lead to problems. We’ll identify such problems at this stage. Now that
Problems have been identified, it’s time to start looking at the solutions. Using the
ideation canvas we will look at how we can ideate about solutions to the problems.

7.3 Product Development
Product Development: People, Purpose & Experience
Now we will start with the product development canvas. Product canvas will
require us to start building a structure of our product around the emotional
needs of the user. Building solutions around the emotive needs of user is
central to design thinking.
Product development: Product Functions & featuresIn
this section we will start making a list of what our solution does and group
it into functions & features. Functions are broad level actions of our product &
features are specific ways in which these functions are supported, powered.
We can have a single or multiple features under a function. Same feature can
power one or more function
Page | 24
Product Development: Components, Prototyping & validation
At this stage we will complete the product development tree. User Experience,
Functions, Features Components and then use the same to create initial
drawings, figures or models for our solution. This will be our prototype.
Product Development: Prototype redesign
Post receiving the customer feedback & validating or invalidating the
function, features of our solution, we will move to make changes to our
solution as per the feedback. Once we complete the redesign, we should have
our final product. In actual practice this loop or user feedback redesign should
be repeated many times. Infect repeating this loop a few times leads to better
solution design.
7.4 A-E-I-O-U OBSERVATION FRAMEWORK
A – ACTIVITIES
E – ENVIRONMENT
I – INTERACTION
O – OBSERVATION
U – USER
Page | 25
A-E-I-O-U OBSERVATION FRAMEWORK
A (Activities), E (Environment), I (Interactions), O (Objects), U (Users) is a
heuristic to help interpret observations assembled by ethnographic practice in
industry. Its two primary functions are to code data, and to develop building blocks of
models that will eventually address the objectives and issues of a client.
AEIOU framework is a key element to record the Ethnographic Observations. AEIOU
framework is used as a lens to observe the surrounding environment during field
work. Materials from observations are gathered via ethnographic methods: Notes,
Photos, Videos, Interviews, Field observations. Observations are recorded under the
appropriate headings in Notebook / Record book / Tables for observation.
Page | 26
Observation is an iterative process.Each type of Observation canvas may be in
varying numbers depending on the case under research. More numbers of these
observation records will ensure sincerity in the work as well as make sure of Novelty
in the project.Once observations are recorded, brainstorming plays an important role
in identifying the problems by taking a few questions like- What ‘ Why ‘ How ‘
When ‘ Where in mind.

EXISTING SYSTEM OF CLEANING
‘ There is no such automated system currently available for managing &
cleaning storage tank water. Entire work needs to be done manually & when
manual work is considered, it is risky task.
‘ Considering height/Depth of the water tanks the shortage of oxygen can be
major issue. Because of this one can not guarantee complete error free work.
Working in an impure tank can be hazardous to health due to presence of
bacteria, parasites etc.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
We are developing a system in which users will use the simple assembly of electric
motor. As an operated device & a stretch of cotton as a main components to settle
down the sediments. The arrangement should be such that stretch of cotton will
rotated at a very slow speed of 70 rpm, at periphery of the tank. Thus the particles get
settle down on the cotton will bring out by means of motor.
The power required for operate the motor will get from the solar panels fixed on the
top of the overhead tank & surrounded area of the sump so it should be proved
economical & convenient technique.
This will overcome the drawbacks of the previous system by eliminating manual labor
& the dirt collected from tank will be used as best manure for gardening works.

Walt, Motor-7rpm),oil paint
METHODOLOGY
‘ From the waste material of workshop we took iron plates and steel pipes .
‘ We used those steel pipes as rollers and plates as supporter.
‘ We used solid steel cylinder and converted it into bearings with the help of
workshop tools.
‘ We used one motor of 7 rpm speed for rotation of filtering material at
minimum speed, so that the wastage or dust collected on filtering material
should not get mix with water again due to fluctuation.
‘ We used one plastic tray as water tank.

CONCLUSION
The present project deals with the automatic cleaning of water tank in order to reduce
the turbidity level. As per the comparison of Traditional and proposed system of
Cleaning of water tank we conclude that our proposed system is more effective and
convenient.
But according to the shape of the water tank design of this cleansing tool may vary.
‘ The results emphasize the need of cleaning of water tank, from which water is
supplied to house holders or any other places. Automatic Water tank cleaning and
Control System Using auto mechanism proposed to overcome the real time
problems. With the continued use of stored water, the problem of turbid water
must be urgently resolved due to the increasing sedimentation problems from
tanks of the surrounding environment.
‘ Contaminated and turbid water is very harmful to human beings and to the
environment. Our proposed system is to cleaning and controls the turbid level
using auto mechanism technique. Auto mechanism is the major controlling unit
and the turbid level is monitor by municipal.
