Poly Phoenix potable water treatment plant in a 3.0 metre container. 

Poly Phoenix developed a medium size potable water plant that can convert raw river or dam water into World health organisation standard drinking water at up to 6 cubic meters (6000 litres) per hour. The Aquapak 3.0 can produce up to 72000 litres of drinking water a day from a raw water source that has less than 100 NTU turbidity and total dissolved solids of less than 500 ppm. The unit can supply sufficient water for a community of up to 700 people at 100 litres/person/day.

The unit has a flocculant injection before the dual media filter to help the filter to “see” the dirt. This dirt is filtered and clean water is produced out the other side. A secondary injection of chlorine sterilises the water. Chlorine kills bacteria, viruses and fungi in the water, rendering it safe to drink.

Advantages of the Aquapak 3.0 m Container plant.

• Low cost per 1000 l of water produced.
• Filter is backwashable and media does not need replacement for many years.
• Simple to operate.
• Suitable for 400 - 4000 people.
• Low capital cost.
• Can pump clean water into a tank at a height of up to 8m above the Aquapak 1.5m.
• Can transfer clean water to tankers from clean water tank.

Details:

• Filter feed pump is a 1.1 kW 220 v 50 Hz single phase submersible unit.
• Twin head metering pump can feed up to 3 l/hr per head; and is fully adjustable on both heads.
• Filter  Media is 800mm deep. The bottom layer consists of 400mm by 0.5mm to 0.69mm Silica sand. The top layer of 400mm by 0.8mm to 1.5mm Anthracite.

A clear sightglass in the discharge side of the system  helps the operator to visually see the clarity of the final water before feeding into the clean water storage tank. A small water test kit is also supplied for periodic testing of the residual chlorine level in the final clean water. A small test kit is supplied with each unit to check pH and chlorine levels.
