Mobile water treatment stations

Mobile water treatment stations

Warfare or environmental disasters bring about infrastructure damage. Lack of drinking water production capacity can be particularly difficult under such circumstances. Mobile water treatment stations, built into trailers or trucks, provide a solution to the water access problem. Such installations allow for water production by taking in water from a contaminated water stream. The ease of transport and simple method of usage allow them to be effective tools to provide drinking water to inhabitants of destroyed areas.

Description

The water treatment station includes the following processes:

  • Initial mechanical filtration,
  • Mechanical filtration with a multimedia filter bed,
  • Active coal filtration,
  • Water demineralization through a reverse osmosis unit,
  • Disinfection using UV lamps,
  • Disinfection using sodium hypochlorite,
  • Demi water mineralization,

Additionally the station is equipped with a submergable pump, a fire hose (20rm), a sodium hypochlorite dosage pump, a water meter, manometers, stainless profile structure and a control cabinet.
The unit features a pump that supplies water from a river or another body of water. The installation’s power is 4.5kW, depending on the model.
