Description

The Waterclean 500 water treatment system makes the processing of contaminated water into drinking water possible. Contamination can be natural or caused by catastrophes, nuclear accidents (i.e. nuclear power stations), chemical hazards or wars (nuclear, biological and chemical weapons). Sea water is not drinkable either. Waterclean 500 decontamin-ates or desalinates the water continuously, i.e. makes it drinkable – without addition of chemicals.

Even operating personnel with little training are able to operate the system.

The purification system has a modular structure. In the first step, a particle filter removes solid matter from the raw water. The filter has a fineness of 0.5 µm.

The reverse osmosis technology which is based on the process which has been introduced worldwide represents the core of the water purification system. It is the second safety level. In the RO modules, organic compounds, salts and bacteria/viruses are almost completely separated off. The Kärcher plant technology ensures easy operation at the highest process safety level. Chemicals are not required for the treatment process, i.e. no resulting waste chemicals.

The permeate (filtered water) is fed via a dosage pump with chlorine for disinfection. This is the third safety level.
The fourth safety level is a UV radiation lamp, which kills bacteria/viruses, whenever one is present in the purified water.

The quality of the water purification process has been tested and acknowledged by independent institutes (TÜV, Fraunhofer Society, waterworks, etc.).

The system is fully independent of an external power source thanks to the integrated diesel-driven electrical power generator. The complete unit is mounted on a single-axle trailer, complete with weather protection. The unit is compact and ready for use and does not need any chemicals for operation.
