KIT, WATER TANK (Oxfam)

Definition

OXFAM tanks are mainly intended for the storage, chlorination and distribution of drinking water. They can be also used for sedimentation.

They are suitable for mid- or long-term management of a large population.

The OXFAM tanks are made with steel sheets and rubber liner.

  • KWATKTANO11 is particularly suitable for water storage for a large medical structure (hospital), potentially installed on a water tower
  • KWATKTANO45 can also be used for (assisted) sedimentation
  • KWATKTANO11, KWATKTANO70 and KWATKTANO90 are less interesting for sedimentation due to their height (settling times are too long)

Instructions for use

These tanks are not suitable for transport.

Choose a site for the installation

  • A water tank must be installed on an even, stable and horizontal platform, accessible under all circumstances and at all times to be able to fill it
  • A filled tank is heavy and needs to be installed properly at a safe location where it can't cause accidents (e.g. filled tank rolling down a slope, collapse of a building under the weight of a filled tank installed against a wall or on top of the roof…)
  • The choice of the site should always be discussed with the different stakeholders

For water distribution with gravity, the tanks should be located at least 1.2 meter above the level of the tap stand located close by (higher if possible) to obtain a correct flow (although KWATKTANO11, KWATKTANO70 and KWATKTANO90 provide already a good flow when full due to their own height).

Water distribution can also be done without gravity, by means of a hand/motor pump (contact your technical department for further information).

When the water tank is installed on an earth embankment, protect its slopes from erosion with grass, stones or plastic.

In very windy areas, it is necessary to secure the tank to the ground by means of ropes tied to the frame.

Fence the area around the water tank.
