Market Analysis and Material Evaluation of Coagulants for Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units

Abstract

The Logistics Equipment Directorate is responsible for development and engineering support of the family of water supply equipment, including the Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units (ROWPU). The Army is using a cationic polyelectrolyte to coagulate suspended particles thereby increasing the effectiveness of the ROWPU's multi-media filter. They need to determine if other coagulants or materials are available in the commercial marketplace to increase particulate capture in the filter. Keywords: Logistics equipment directorate, Reverse osmosis water purification unit, Coagulant, Reverse osmosis (RO).
