Ground Water Filtration System
Overview
The Challenge
The client sought an automated solution for remediating groundwater contaminated with floating oil residues. The challenge was designing a compact, autonomous system that could accurately detect underground water levels and selectively remove oil without disturbing the clean water beneath. Our team engineered an ESP32-powered embedded device with a motorized reel and pump system. The system deployed a water sensor down a borehole using a reel motor. Once the water surface was detected, it triggered a secondary motor to extract only the oil layer floating atop the water. This precise mechanism ensured minimal water disturbance and maximum oil extraction efficiency. Built for real-world deployment, the system featured low-power operation, field-ready enclosures, and optional solar charging, making it ideal for use in rural or industrial cleanup projects.
