This newly designed portable desalinator stands out as the world's smallest, combining compactness with advanced technology to provide clean drinking water from seawater or other saline sources. Engineered for circularity, this desalinator not only emphasizes performance but also sustainability, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Below are the key product characteristics and certifications:
Product Characteristics
- Technology: Reverse osmosis with a patented high-pressure energy recovery pump. This innovative system ensures efficient desalination, minimizing energy use while maximizing output.
- Salt Rejection: The unit achieves an impressive salt rejection rate of 98.4% on average, with a minimum of 97%, even at a high salinity of 34,000 ppm. However, the desalination degree may vary depending on factors such as water temperature and salinity.
- Flow Rate: The desalinator offers a flow rate of 0.9 liters per hour, which equates to 21.6 liters of desalinated water per day (0.24 gallons per hour or 5.7 gallons per day). This makes it a reliable source of potable water in emergency or remote situations.
- Pump Rate: The system operates at 40 strokes per minute, ensuring a steady and efficient water filtration process.
- Operating Temperature: This desalinator is designed to work in a wide range of temperatures, from as low as 2°C (36°F) to as high as 45°C (113°F), ensuring versatility in different climates. For storage, the unit can withstand temperatures between -10°C (14°F) and 45°C (113°F).
- Weight and Dimensions: Weighing only 1.05 kg (2.3 lbs), and measuring 23 x 14.5 x 5 cm (9.1 x 5.7 x 2 inches), this desalinator is exceptionally lightweight and portable, making it ideal for emergency kits, outdoor adventures, or aviation and marine applications.
- Feed Water: The unit is capable of filtering fresh, brackish, or saltwater, making it adaptable to a variety of environments and water sources.
- Material: Constructed from durable materials like stainless steel, composites, and plastics, all in compliance with international food contact regulations, this desalinator is both robust and safe for long-term use.
- Storage: The unit has a storage life of five years, with recommended exchange intervals to ensure continued efficiency and effectiveness.
- Packaging: The product comes compactly packed in a sealed bag for easy storage and transport.
Approvals and Certifications
- SOLAS: The desalinator is approved under the 1983 conditions of the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS), which ensures it meets international standards for maritime safety.
- USCG Certification: It holds a United States Coast Guard (USCG) certificate (no. 160.058/7/0), validating its reliability and performance for use in marine environments.
- FAA Compliance: The unit fulfills Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements under Federal Aviation Requirement (FAR) Section 135 and 121, making it suitable for emergency kits in aviation settings.
This desalinator represents a breakthrough in portable water filtration technology, combining efficiency, durability, and versatility in the world’s smallest form factor for its category. Whether for outdoor enthusiasts, maritime safety, or emergency preparedness, it offers a reliable solution for converting saltwater into drinkable water in a wide range of conditions.
