## Aquaforce 2,000: features and figures



 

 

 



The Aquaforce 2,000 treatment unit is particularly well-suited to delocalized production in difficult-to-access areas and is used in the humanitarian context for direct distribution or to support hospital structures.

#### Features:

- **The portability and speed of start-up** allow isolated populations of up to 2000 people to be reached quickly with a flow rate of 2m3/h from raw water.
- **The simplicity of the implementation and operation operations**, combined with the robustness of the materials, allow low-skilled personnel to be quickly able to operate the station over the long term.

## Ultrafiltration



 

 

 



Equipped with ultrafiltration membranes with a cut-off threshold of 0.04µm, Aquaforce 2,000 naturally stops all colloids and bacteria, as well as some of the viruses potentially present in raw water. The treatment is completed by the injection of chlorine to finalize the disinfection and ensure persistence in the distributed water.

#### On many other fields:

- In 2017, in Iraq, during the Battle of Mosul, a unit was deployed to provide water to the Qayyara hospital behind the front line.
- ​In 2016, in Ecuador, after an earthquake, two stations were deployed to reinforce the water supply to two districts of cities affected by the earthquake (raw water up to 650 NTU).  
     Etc.
