This paper presents a solar-powered pasteurisation system designed to improve sanitation and reduce disease in refugee camps. Focusing on the Rohingya camp in Bangladesh, the study explores the system's ability to treat wastewater, deactivate pathogens, and operate sustainably. Field results, technical challenges, and potential for broader application in other humanitarian settings are discussed, highlighting solar energy's promise for safe, scalable sanitation solutions.
