ISSAQUAH, Wash. -- A mobile water treatment system that can
be transported
to emergency situations and can treat up to 72,000 gallons of water a
day to
federal safe drinking water standards has been developed by Clean
Water
Technology, Inc., of Issaquah. Designed for situations where water
supply has
been temporarily disrupted by such emergencies as floods,
earthquakes, and
civil unrest, the system fits into a 20-foot cargo container for
transport.
What makes the mobile system so unique, said Alec Purcell of Clean
Water
Technology, is that it purifies polluted water without chemicals. The
system
utilizes an advanced ozonation process to oxidize organic and
inorganic
materials in water, leaving no residuals such as chlorine or iodine
behind.
Taste and odor are refined in a carbon polishing unit of the system,
noted
Purcell. In addition, he said, 24-hour operation requires no
on-site
technician.
Prospective buyers of the mobile system include Third World
nations with
unsafe drinking water, said Purcell, along with governmental agencies
such as
the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) and the U.S.
Public
Health Service. More information is available from the company's
