SHEPS (Solar-hybrid Electrification and Purification System) by WorldWater

Purification Method: 
Reverse Osmosis
Flowrate: 
5-100 Liters per hour
Powered by: 
Solar

SHEPS™ is a solar-powered, stand-alone and easy to use system designed to pump, filter, purify and desalinate water, as well as provide renewable power. The system utilizes proprietary and patented technologies.

SHEPS**features include:

  • Man-portable configuration able to be carried by 1-2 people and transported in the back of a standard SUV or Humvee vehicle.
  • Options include one-container of direct solar to water purification, or two-containers with additional power box inclusive of battery backup and hybrid-power inputs.
  • (3) 135w foldable solar arrays and 2.7 kW of integrated battery storage provides:

o   100 watts sustained power for 10+ hours*

o   1500w peak power; 3kW surge enabled*

o   Reverse osmosis water purification produces 100* gpd  of clean drinking water over 12* hours of operation; 24 hour operation produces 200 gpd of water.

  • Accepts power from integrated solar and / or external sources such as generator, wind or vehicle power to extend the hours of operation.
  • No gasoline, diesel or external power source (other than the sun) required for operation.
  • AC/ DC power available for use with purchase of the power box.
  • Easy to use and to set up; fully operational in under 30 minutes after arrival onsite.
  • An environmentally friendly system producing no noise or pollution during operation.

 

*Assumes 4 peak-equivalent solar hours; fewer solar - hours will result in decreased operating time and output.  Auxiliary generator and vehicle power input is built in to extend operation as needed.

WorldWater’s purification and Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination processes are state of the art, removing dirt, silt, sand, bacteria, pathogens, cysts, viruses and total dissolved solids.  The utilization of RO filtration technologies enables use of SHEPS from virtually any water source to create safe drinking water.

Reverse Osmosis Filtration and Desalination in SHEPS

·   Stage 1:reusable, polycarbonate course debris filter.

·   Stage 2: stainless steel mesh screenfilter.

·   Stage 3: media filter for removing turbidity and reduce particle size to 5 microns or less.

·   Stage 4: desalination membranes to remove bacteria, viruses and dissolved solids such as salts.

ü  No chemicals added to water in filtration and purification process (chlorination or ozone unit optional).

ü  Comes with one year of consumables, all necessary hoses, pump, storage tank, fittings, tools and more.
