Puraid® - Water treatment solution for rural communities

A significant proportion of the population in developing countries lives in rural areas, in small communities of up to a few thousand people. Their water supply is provided by millions of wells, the water of which in most cases is heavily polluted. Our direct experiences and information in Vietnam, Bangladesh, India, and Ghana show that the supply of drinking water to the rural population must be solved with simple, reliable, inexpensive water treatment equipment. Considering the above, we developed a compact, pallet-size mobile device based on modular units. PurAID® is equipped with a monitoring center as well to ensure continuous, intelligent operation.

The system provides continuous data on the operation of the equipment and possible errors, so the problem can be remedied immediately, thus ensuring the continuous operation of the system. From the database formed by the center, important information can be extracted for the operators, about the consumption habits of the users.

System maintenance and regeneration of filter materials can be performed without interrupting the water supply. The equipment is also suitable for the treatment of drinking and irrigation water, in compliance with the WHO regulations, according to which not only drinking water but also food production must be made with purified water.
