Efficient solar powered water purifiers installed in far flung areas

The World Water and Solar Technologies (WWST) have taken a step in installing solar powered water purification units across the globe. As a joint venture with the Humanitarian International Services Group, two Mobile Max Pure (MMP) water filters have been installed which are juiced by solar power. These units can produce 3.5kW of solar power and provide 30,000 gallons of clean and drinkable water and are placed in strategic positions for maximum usability. The MMP needs a water source, an open space so that the sunlight reaches the solar panels, water storage areas and security. The solar panels generate electricity which is used to pump out the water from the source that is passed through a series of filters and ultraviolet light. Clean water is thus produced without the use of chlorine and fossil fuel.

It costs just US$5,000 per year to maintain a MMP per year because of its capabilities to use solar energy efficiently. These MMP’s will be a relief to those who have no access to drinking water, especially in war-struck countries like Sudan and Iraq.
