The Project for implementing a pilot plant for distilling water using solar energy has been carried out under the guidelines of the Contract No 180-FINCyT-FIDECOM-PIMEN-2014 in a partnership between the Universidad de Piura, Empresa de Transportes Periche S.R.L. and FINCyT. Solar potential of the north area of Peru guarantees the supply of thermal and photovoltaic energy necessary for the operation of the distiller panels and the pumping system. Also, the use of information tools in designing and simulating the pilot plant processes help in their optimization. The production of the pilot plant is 300 liters per day operating 8 hours, and the quality of the water obtained metes the parameters established for the water for human consumption according the DS No031-2010-SA from the Peruvian Ministry of Health. The importance of the implementation of this pilot plant lies in its sustainability and the guarantee of a continuous water supply in rural areas.
