DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATION

The Surewater Still extracts pure fresh water from any water supply by solar distillation.

No external energy supply is needed to produce or move the water to storage. This system is therefore appropriate for remote areas.

The water source may be sea water, saline bore water or lake water.

The still is modular and can be built to any capacity in stages as required.

Most applications will involve the production of potable water in isolated areas.

DISTILLATION PROCESS

The modules are 2 metres by 1 metre and are set out in rows end on end and connected by pipes. Feed water covers the base of each module at a controlled level.

As the sun heats the water, vapour condenses on the underside of the module canopy, runs down to a collection channel and is stored in an underground tank.

The feed water is periodically dumped at night to an evaporation pan to purge the system.

PRODUCTION

Production volumes vary with weather conditions and seasons and sufficient storage is required to buffer daily variations.

MAINTENANCE

Minimum maintenance is required, all controls are 12 volt DC powered from solar panels on site and automatically programmed. The system can be left unattended for weeks at a time.

The working life of the modules which are made of U.V. stabilised plastics is expected to be a minimum of 7 years (the plastics manufacturers state 10 years).

COST

Costing will vary upon the size and location of the installation.

Surewater Australia welcomes any enquiry and would be able to quote on an installation once details are known.
