PEAK (Prepositioned Expeditionary Assistance Kits) by WorldWater

Purification Method: 
Reverse Osmosis
Flowrate: 
>1000 Liters Per Day
Powered by: 
Solar

PEAK™(Prepositioned Expeditionary Assistance Kit) is an Aberdeen Proving Grounds tested, self-contained kit with onsite power, water purification and satellite communications capabilities built in to an easy to transport ISU-60 container. 

PEAK**™ features include:

  • Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification and desalination to create 1,500 gallons/day of drinking water from virtually any source.
  • 2.1 kW solar array with 2 kW auxiliary generator supplies continuous power to operate purification and communication capabilities 24-hours/day with additional power generated for other uses. AC / DC electricity available through the Load Center.
  • Stand-alone communications enables up to 50 remote users to communicate and share information directly with the PEAK central command base.
  • 18 kWh lithium ion battery bank provides power for night time operation.
  • Transport by sling load (certified), trailer, international shipping container or air.
  • Easy to set up and fully operational within 2 hours.  Ships fully charged to enable immediate operability.
  • An environmentally friendly system capable of silent and pollution-free operation when using solar power and stored battery energy during operation.
  • No gasoline, diesel or external power source (other than the sun) required for operation.
  • Optional custom-designed trailer** enables transportability of loaded PEAK + trailer in standard ISO-shipping containers.  Adaptable to civilian or military vehicles.                    

*Operation from solar power-only requires 5 hours of sunlight to enable 10 hour water purification operations or 3 hours of sun to enable 24-hour communications operations. Auxiliary generator input is included and built in to extend operation as needed.

 

Available in desert tan or OD green.
