Water

Safe and clean drinking water and sanitation is a human right, essential for the full enjoyment of life and all human rights

United Nations, July 26, 2010

Water-borne illness The list of water-borne diseases is long:

Amoebiasis, Cryptosporidiosis, Cyclosporiasis, Giardiasis, Microsporidiosis, Schistosomiasis, Dracunculiasis (Guinea Worm Disease), Taeniasis, Fasciolopsiasis, Hymenolepiasis, Echinococcosis, Coenurosis, Ascariasis, Enternpbiasis, Botulism, Campylobacteriosis, Cholera, E. coli, M. marinum infection, Dysentery, Legionellosis, Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, Typhoid fever, Vibrio illness, Adenovirus infection, Gastroenteritis, SARS, Hepatitis A, Poliomyelitis, (Polio) and Polyomavirus

Making Water Safe

This portable solar powered water purification system fights water-borne disease. It saves lives.

Highly Portable

The systems are very rugged and are mounted on a reinforced trailer. They can be towed anywhere by a light truck.

The unit can be set up in less than a day.

Solar Powered

No fuel required No connection to an electrical grid needed No other infrastructure needed

The Providence system is designed for service in even the most remote locations.

Stopping disease

In 2009, the Iraqi government ordered 327 of our systems to help stop an outbreak of Cholera.

Clean water for 600,000

The systems were quickly deployed, and now provide safe, clean water for 600,000 Iraqi citizens.

Source Water

Water from rivers, wells, lakes, streams, ponds, even brackish water can be converted to clean water that is safe to drink.

Safe

Once water has passed through the system it is 99.99% free of harmful bacteria, viruses, cysts and pollutants, preventing water-borne diseases like cholera and typhoid.

The system has been proven to convert high turbidity (greater than 50 NTU) surface feed water to clear, clean drinking water (less than 0.2 NTU.)

Filtration Filtration systems are custom designed for your

local water conditions. They can include different combinations of a pre-filter stage, mechanical filtration, reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration, and ultra violet light processing. Brackish water can be purified for drinking, or for agricultural use.

Unusual Conditions

In addition to filtration for normally encountered conditions, we can provide filters with special resins to remove unusual threats.

Won’t foul

Unlike other systems, Providence systems feature a unique “straw” that draws in the source water. The straw acts as a preliminary filter, removing particles that often foul pumps in other machines.

This is a huge advantage, and part of the reason why Providence systems function reliably, day after day, year after year.

Reliability and Durability

The system was designed with the knowledge that peoples’ lives depend on its working every day, in the harshest conditions, in truly remote areas.

Long Life

Providence systems are made to provide reliable service for up to 20 years or more, with minimal maintenance.

Automatic

Throughout the day, the system’s automatic tracking mechanism follows the sun and positions the solar panels at the optimal angle, providing maximum power.

This increases efficiency by up to 40 % over stationary arrays.

Early Start

As soon as sun rises, the system wakes up.The submersible pump draws water through the “gills” in the straw, into the gravel pack filter. This filtration eliminates particles down to 400 microns, before the water reaches the main filtration system. This is the key to the system’s dependability and longevity.

.

The submersible pump sends the water through the gravel pack filter, through the PVC straw, up the insulated raw water hose (which can be up to 20 meters long) and into the system’s series of multi-media filters, where the water is filtered to 5 microns or less.

Protected

These filters, along with the membranes, controls, and gauges are contained within the unit’s rugged metal cabinet

This protects against the elements and against unauthorized use.

Ultra-Filtration

The water is pushed through the system’s ultra-filtration membrane, which further eliminates particulates and contamination.

The system will detect any differentials in pressure and will automatically backwash as necessary.

UV Treatment

Next the water is exposed to ultra-violet light, rendering bacteria, viruses and other organic threats harmless.

The system then pumps the purified water to a storage tank, or to a dispensing station

Reverse Osmosis Some source water conditions, like brackish water,

require Reverse Osmosis (RO) filtration to purify the water.

Systems equipped with RO filtration pump the water into a storage tank. The water is pumped back into the system under pressure, and through a reverse osmosis membrane. The water is then pumped back out, ready to drink.

Easy to Use

System is very easy to operate

The filtration systems feature automatic flushing and backwash

Automatic low pressure shutdown and restart

Remote Monitoring

Optional onboard computer and microprocessor system allows the unit to be remotely monitored through satellite or cellular technology.

Remote monitoring provides details about system operation and performance, including the performance of individual components.

Less Than A Penny

The total cost of producing a gallon of safe, clean water with our system is less than a penny per gallon.

This includes the capital cost of the machine.

No Fuel Cost

Since the system is powered entirely by the sun, there is no added cost or logistical burden of fuel.

Fuel savings alone can pay for the system over time.

“The conventional method of providing potable water in the wake of a disaster is often costly and logistically complex. Normally, potable water is distributed to communities by trucking in bottled water or using diesel generator purification systems.

Any proposed system must eliminate many points of failure by presenting a stand-alone design allowing for flexible transport of the unit by air, land or water bringing a cost-effective, high-yield water purification capability to potential users incorporating a self-generating power source.”

Thousands of Native Americans live without electricity and other basic comforts in remote parts of Arizona and New Mexico.

Working with a Navajo non-profit organization and others, our partner has launched a project to fix that.

In February, the first of many multi-purpose

structures planned for the Navajo Nation was installed.

The structure was connected to a family home that had no electricity, no indoor plumbing, and only a wood stove for heating.

Workers begin installing the solar array. The multi-purpose utility structure is in the background, right, and the home it will be connected to is at left.

Light, Power, Heat

The project has the enthusiastic support of the Navajo nation leadership.

Plans call for the addition of 100 more multi-purpose structures.The Curtis family poses in their home with

guests, under an electric light powered by the multi-purpose utility structure. They now have a refrigerator, too.

Many Applications

In addition to providing basic services to off-the-grid residences, the portable multi-purpose structure can be used for military and relief missions, for commercial operations in remote areas, or many other uses.
