Energy Efficient Expeditionary Small Unit Water Purifier (E3 SUWP)

Abstract

Water is required by every Warfighter to maintain both proper health and readiness. The logistics of transporting water for 30 persons varies between 9451950 lbs. of water per day. Producing water at the point of need would represent a novel way to eliminate the need to haul water, reduce supply logistics, extend mission length, and create a more agile and effective force. The E3SUWP is a fully functional reverse osmosis water purification system, can purify any water source, HMMWV transportable, and utilizes a high efficiency energy recovery pump to reduce power consumption.
