Evaluation of Survivor-06 Water Purification Device

Abstract

The Survivor 06 water purification device was evaluated for the efficacy of the biocide cleaning protocol and the efficiency of the device in Australian Defence applications. A field method of assuring the integrity of the membrane was developed. It was concluded that the biocide cleaning protocol is effective, the device is suitable for supplying emergency drinking water for relatively inactive groups of up to three persons, and that the integrity of the membrane should be tested during routine maintenance using a protocol based on the SeaMark sea marker dye.
