KIT, WATER TREATMENT UNIT, 10 m³/h
Definition
Kit allowing to produce 10 m3/h of drinking water from poor quality surface water (up to 300 NTU) through coagulation / flocculation, direct filtration and chlorination.
Indications
The kit is composed of 6 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
Technical specifications
- Yield: 10 m3/h
- 100 m3/day (12 h/day) or 200 m3/day (if 24h/24 functioning is possible), maintenance included
Remark
This kit also comes in a "5 m3/h" version (KWATKTRE05-), available on request:
- 50 m3/day (12 h/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
- Please contact the Watsan unit in MSF-OCB for further information
Instructions for use
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).
