This paper presents design and economic analysis of efficient solar PV water pumping system for irrigation of banana. The system was designed and installed in solar farm of Jain Irrigation System Limited (JISL), at Jalgaon (Maharashtra). The study area falls at 210 05' N - latitude, 750 40'E-longitude and at an altitude of 209 m above mean sea level. The PV system sizing was made in such a way that it was capable of irrigating 0.41 acre of banana plot with a daily water requirement of 9.72m3/day and total head of 26m. Also, the life cycle cost (LCC) analysis was conducted to assess the economic viability of the system. The results of the study encouraged the use of the PV systems for water pumping application to irrigate orchards.Keywords

A large number of people in developing countries still live in rural and remote area like India where the grid electricity is yet unavailable or not envisaged by the people. Vaccine preservation has become an important issue and the basic needs in rural areas. Solar power refrigeration is the one of promising option to resolve such burning problem. This paper describes the thermodynamic and economic results of developed solar photovoltaic panels operated 20 litre refrigerator system. No load and full load test were carried out to study the performance of the system. The co-efficient of performance (COP) was observed to decrease with time from morning to afternoon and average COP 3.39 and 3.29 was observed for no load and full load condition, respectively. The exergetic efficiency of both photovoltaic and refrigerator systems were also evaluated for both no load and full load conditions. The overall system energy efficiency was found low because of energy conversion efficiency and exergy efficiency of the photovoltaic system was low. The payback period of the SPV refrigerator was found approximate 6 months.Keywords

Rapid technological advances, speedy growth in urban sector and unplanned human settlement in the cities have resulted in the pollution problem. Industrial and nuclear energy installation produce large quantities of toxic or hazardous wastes, which have the potential to contaminate the environment. Coloring matter, acidic effluents, suspended solids, waxes, unreacted dyes, starch products, heavy metals etc. which are releasing at different stages of textile processing. Water which emerge out after use from industries is termed as ‘industrial effluents‘ and this waste water have high BOD, pH as well as temperature.
All the conventional remediation methods used for polluted environments have specific benefits and limitations. The use of microorganisms and plant species to control and destroy contamination is of increasing interest to minimize some of these pollution problems called ‘Bioremediation‘. Bioremediation can serve as a prospective method for decontamination and rehabilitation of contaminated sites. Bacteria, algae, fungi and yeast have all been found to absorb and breakdown metal compounds. Certain lichens were used as bio-accumulator of heavy metals.
As compared to the conventional remediation methods, bioremediation is eco-friendly as well as easy to implement. The future of bioremediation, comprise of ongoing research work and have to go through a developmental phase and many technical barriers. Several hyper-accumulator species still need to be highlighted and implemented for successful future of bioremediation programmes.
