An Initial Assessment of the 600-Gallon-Per Hour Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit. Field Water Supply on the Winter Battlefield.
Abstract
An initial study was conducted to determine the effects of raw water temperature on the finished water production rates of the Army's new 600-gal./hr Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit (ROWPU). This study showed that the finished water production rates decreased from 687 gal./hr at a raw water temperature of 68.3 F to 348 gal./hr at a raw water temperature of 33.7 F. The report also has a list of suggestions on how to set up and operate the ROWPU on the winter battlefield.
