Small Scale Water Disinfection for Military Purposes
Abstract
When a military force is in the field, it is impossible to apply at all times the normal practices of water purification such as coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and chlorination used for a municipal water supply. For personnel who are separated from their units and for whom it is impractical to use a water point, individual water treatment tablets are issued for water disinfection. The Materials Research Laboratory at Scottsdale, Tasmania has for many years been involved in the development and evaluation of individual and small scale water disinfection systems. Described are laboratory evaluations of several devices for small scale water disinfection.
