 Location: Nigeria  Oil Production: Economic Backbone  9 th 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

 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.

Silver- Impregnated Activated Carbon Brita Filter Membrane filter of 5 micron size

 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

 Types of Possible Filtrations  Coal Filter, Paper Filter, Micro Screen Filter, Iodine, Ultraviolent Light, Boiling Water, Portability

 Scale: 1 is the lowest…4 is the highest  Compared 4 different filters  Carbon/Charcoal Filter, Brita Water Filter, UV radiation, Ceramic Filter

 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?

 Most important feature is purification of water  Make filter with material naturally available to Nigeria  Easy to maintain and fix  Simple Design
