15-GPM Light Diatomite Water Purification Equipment

Abstract

This report covers chronologically the investigation, design, and testing of lightweight water purification equipment, leading to the development of a unit capable of producing an average of 15 gpm of potable water. The equipment described is desired to serve a dual purpose in that it can be pack-transported as well as being in the capacity range of the present standard 15-gpm portable sand filter. Components of the set are separable to permit transport as full pack loads by three pack animals or nine men.
