The FPW-350 filter is used for the treatment of surface and underground water for drinking purposes. It removes chemical, biological, and radioactive contamination. It is designed to provide water supply for groups of 60 to 100 people.
Activated carbon and cation exchange resin are used as absorptive materials within the filters. Activated carbon is responsible for the adsorption of organic compounds that give water an unpleasant taste and odor, ensuring its clear appearance. The cation exchange resin is responsible for absorbing radioactive compounds and heavy metal salts. In the water purification process, solutions of alkaline calcium hypochlorite and aluminum sulfate are applied to remove micropollutants, dechlorinate, and disinfect the water.
Versatility - the devices can function efficiently not only as a specialized element of equipment for uniformed services but also as integrated civilian systems in areas affected by a shortage of water suitable for drinking.
Short time to obtain drinking water - as an example, the capacity of the FPW-50 filter is 50 l/h, and the treatment of 20 liters of raw water occurs within approximately 25 minutes from the moment the electric pump is started.
Mobility - the design of the filters allows for easy and rapid relocation.
Quality - the filters are subject to military standards and, consequently, undergo a series of tests before being delivered for use.
Wide spectrum of application - they are primarily used in the event of a need for emergency delivery of clean water resulting from biological, chemical, or radioactive contamination. Water can be drawn from all water bodies and then subjected to an appropriate treatment process allowing for the procurement of drinking water.
