General information
A water purification system capable of producing safe drinking water from a biologically contaminated fresh-water source: lakes, streams, ponds and wells.
Performance 4 to 10m³/h, depending on raw water quality and the type of purification unit.
Two chlorine dosers, placed on the outlet piping (after filtration), can be used for post-chlorination. One dose should be placed on the main stream for low quantities of water and the other in the by-pass stream for full water flow. This permits a continuous and adjustable injection of a predetermined amount of slow-dissolving chlorine (calcium hypochlorite) in the water.
The desired chlorine concentration is obtained by adjusting the inlet gate using the external knob.
Self-contained, modular construction means that the unit can be easily moved by hand. A trailer option is also available for field transport. The unit sets up quickly: 30 minutes or less. It can be loaded into a Land Cruiser PU or SW.
Its transport flexibility and quick set-up makes it ideal for meeting the water production needs of populations that are on the move.
ICRC standard model: units are available from stock for acute emergency situations. Afterwards, they are reconditioned and returned to stock.
Different set-up options:
a) Trailer-mounted purification unit:
- Totally galvanized, extremely robust; on-and-off road use (fields, tracks, sand, etc.).
- One axle, load limit of 1600kg (total weight with load).
- One coupling with a height-adjustable shaft, a hook for a ball or ring towing hitch; each trailer is delivered with both systems.
b) Skid-mounted purification unit:
- The option "on skid" ensures the water disinfecting unit is completely autonomous; it can be transported on a lorry platform.
