LS3 Desalination Units

Global Water manufactures a state-of-the-art technological system that is more efficient, easier to operate and maintain, and more cost effective than any previous, water purification system of this size produced for the U.S. military. When dealing with NBC contamination, seawater or brackish water, Global's DESAL Series more than adequately solves these problems.

Global Water's DESAL Series is a three phase system with Four Modes of Operation which are more efficient by combining:

Phase 1 the addition of the LS3 multi-filtration-ultraviolet technology developed by Global Water Technologies linked together with
Phase 2 the latest technology in RO filtering; and
Phase 3 a basic system of pre-filtering to eliminate most of the input problems which hinder typical RO systems.

Military Desal Unit These processes make the entire system easier to operate and maintain. While the source input for water purification may vary considerably during operations, alternative technologies provided for a single mode throughput. The four mode LS3 DESAL Series provides for the purification of drinking water through the most cost effective method applicable to the type of source water available. In doing so it minimizes maintenance and operations costs and extends the life of the RO subsystem.

In the first three modes of operation the system Separator/Sand Filter can either be included or excluded from the process depending on the condition of the source water. (Very simple controls will set any mode or sequence into operation.)
Four Modes of Operation

Mode 1: Water other than sea water or NBC contaminated water is processed directly by the LS3 portion of the system. This process will eliminate the parasites, the hazardous metals, and disease causing organisms, toxic chemicals, chlorine, bad taste, odor, bacteria and viruses. This process provides high quality drinking water through a simple to operate, low maintenance, field tested system and produces no waste water stream.

Mode 2: Sea water, or NBC contaminated water is processed first through the RO, with that output water being processed by the LS3. This process provides high quality drinking water from the worst of possible sources.

Mode 3: Water including sea or nuclear/biologically/chemically contaminated water is processed solely through the RO. This process provides acceptable drinking water from the worst of possible sources.

Mode 4: Water other than sea water or NBC contaminated water is processed directly by both the LS3 and the RO components of the system simultaneously. This process provides both high quality drinking water and acceptable drinking water. This mode provides for almost double normal system capacity.
