282 ` Figure 3. (a) arsenic contamination in the area of the Sama and Locumba basins in Tacna [2]; (b)picture of the prototype in the land field in Locumba district of Tacna, in Peru.; (c) efficiencies in removing arsenic from water using electrochemical methods [18]; (d) efficiencies in removing arsenic from water using rapid filtration [19]. An innovative concept for a fully autonomous pilot plant designed to provide water and electricity for a remote area. Combined with water quality research in the Amazon, which revealed that artesian wells in the various study areas were contaminated with chemical elements including arsenic, aluminum, manganese, and others [3,4], this work—supported by PROINNOVATE and the Ministry of Social Inclusion—enabled the development of three autonomous decontamination systems. These were installed in three Peruvian communities, in Figure 4 is shown the deployment of one of those. In Figure 4(a) it is observed the natural polymetallic contamination in Loreto, Peru [3], the design of the purification system is presented in Figure 4(b), in Figure 4(c) it is presented the system transportation by population to the final place, the deployment of the plant is presented in Fig 4(d) and finally in 4(e) the population using the water purification system is presented. The implemented systems provide safe water to 1200 inhabitants, and 261 households.
