KIT, WATER TREATMENT UNIT, 5-8 m³/h

Kit allowing to produce 5 to 8 m³/h of drinking water from poor quality surface water (up to 300 NTU) through coagulation / flocculation, direct filtration and chlorination.

Technical specifications:

• 50 m³/day (12h/day)
• Consists of the modules 1 to 4 + 6, but can easily be upgraded to 10 m³/h by adding 2 x the module 5

The kit is composed of 5 modules containing all the accessories and consumables required to install and operate the water treatment unit:

• Module 1: COAGULATION

Filter + suction side doser and analysis equipment

• Module 2: FLOCCULATION

Filter + hose, tools and spare parts

• Module 3: CONTROL PANEL

Filter + control panel

• Module 4: DISINFECTION

Filter + pressure-flow-turbidimeter and chlorinator

• Module 5: ADDITIONAL FLOCCULATION (2x)

Filter + additional hoses

• Module 6: CONSUMABLES, RTR (regulated transport)

Chlorine tablets, coagulant (FeCl3) and iron test

Remark

This kit also comes in a "10 m³/h" version (KWATKTRE10), available on request or order 2 x the module 5 (KWATMTRE15-) to upgrade it to 10 m³/h.

Please contact the Watsan unit in MSF-OCB for further information.

Kit supplied with detailed operator manual (a technician should be able to do the installation and to run the water treatment unit).

Train the staff in proper operation and maintenance of the unit.

Remarks

The quality of the filtered water is a lot higher in comparison with the water treated by assisted sedimentation (less coagulant residuals, less micro-biological content). The water treatment unit is therefore highly suitable for supplying drinking water to health structures (hospitals, cholera units or feeding centres…), refugee camps and communities.

The water treatment unit was originally designed to be used during the first phase of an emergency (3 to 6 months), but it has proven its reliability by functioning over several years in many missions. However, considering the operating costs and the need of supervision of the water treatment unit, other options (e.g. groundwater) should be considered for long term water supply.

Caution

The kit does not include the pump, water tank, distribution hoses or taps. These should be ordered separately according to your needs.

The unit is designed to work with the 30 m³/h petrol motor pump, (KWATKPUP30-), but functions just as well with the 60 m³/h diesel motor pump (KWATKPUP060).
