SPX Global Delivers 325 Solar Powered Water Filtration Systems to Provide Clean Water for over 300,000 Iraqis

 

SPX Global of San Diego, CA in concert with Iraq Global of Bagdad, Iraq has delivered 325 solar powered water purification systems to the Ministry of Municipalities and Public Works in Iraq.  The 325 SPX Tracker UF (ultra filtration) systems provide the capability to purify 1.8 million gallons of surface water per day for the citizens of Iraq. The SPX Tracker UF is a trailer mounted ultra filtration system which is self contained and fully powered through a solar tracking system.  The system design incorporated a nine stage filtration process and ultra violet (UV) sterilization, producing water with turbidity below 0.5 NTU and 99.9% free of bacteria.  The delivered systems have the potential to meet the basic fresh water needs of over 300,000 Iraqis and are being provided just in time to fight the annual cholera outbreaks associated with unclean water.

 

SPX Tracker UF

 

The independent, trailer mounted SPX Tracker UF provides a rapidly deployable and economic solution to community needs for clean water.  The system can be employed in less than a day and presents lifetime water costs of less than one cent per gallon over a ten year life.  This economic production provides the ability for community leaders to deliver basic water needs at less than $0.03 per person per day.  The SPX Tracker UF combines unique, patented filtration technologies with solar tracking solutions to operate independently of any electrical or water infrastructure.  The SPX Tracker ultra filtration solution has been proven to convert high turbidity (greater than 50NTU) surface feed water to clear, clean drinking water (less than 0.2NTU.)
