Make pure water and electric power in remote locations with on-site community water purification & power production solutions
THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY WATER PURIFICATION & POWER PRODUCTION
The problem is well defined by a recent WHO report. 2 billion people do not have access to healthy drinking water.
263 Million people have Limited Water Service = They get water from an improved water source, but more than 15 minutes away.
423 Million people have No Water Service = They take water from unimproved wells and springs.
159 Million people have No Water Service = They collect untreated surface water, from ponds, streams, etc.
Therefore, 845 Million people (about 12% of the world’s population) are existing daily without local, safely managed water sources.
In addition, about 840 Million people exist with no access to electricity.
Many dire consequences flow from this situation.
1. INCREASED DISEASE RISK
Contaminated water can transmit diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, polio and hepatitis A.
Contaminated water is estimated to cause 842,000 diarrheal deaths each year.
443 million school days are lost each year due to water-related illnesses.
2. DEPRESSED LIFESTYLE
Women and children generally have the responsibility of water collection.
They spend 200 Million hours every day collecting water.
Perhaps more than once a day, many travel more than 30 minutes to collect water.
Their travels can be dangerous, often resulting in rape or abduction.
Time and effort collecting water robs time from school, parenting, working.
The situation perpetuates the poverty cycle.
Unfortunately, many of the millions of people with the “No Water Problem” also suffer from the “No Electricity Problem”.
Globally, about 840 Million people exist with no electricity access.
The problem is especially acute in Sub Sahara Africa where most countries have less than 50% of the people with electricity. Some countries even have less than 10% of the people with electricity access.
SOLUTIONS FOR COMMUNITY WATER PURIFICATION & POWER PRODUCTION
Of the 845 Million world citizens with no safe water access, most are in small, often remote villages and other settlements. Many of these are in Sub Sahara Africa and southern Asia.
We think the best solution to this problem is to make pure drinking water, right in the community, from any locally available bad water source and, if needed, to create electric power from the sun.
ANSA North America can help local governments and NGOs active in the area to bring pure drinking water to these water-starved people. Because many of these same communities also lack electricity, we can solve that problem at the same time.
For water purification, the new technology SQN is the ultimate for quality pure water production and versatility.
The SQN (Sine Qua Non = The Essential Element) :
- Makes up to 99.99% pure drinking water from any contaminated source water…Fresh, Brackish, Salt.
- Every day, at rated capacity, one SQN makes about the same amount of pure water as one semi-trailer truckload of bottled water!
- Operates on any power source…self-contained diesel generator, solar power, grid power.
- Is portable…goes anywhere in back of pick-up truck or van.
- High production…makes up to 20 tons of drinking water per day or the equivalent of 5,000 gallons or 39,504 half-liter plastic bottles of drinking water.
The SQN, or multiple SQNs, can be used in a single location where drinking water is distributed out from the hub to the people. Because of their portability, the SQNs also can be moved from community to community to bring more people pure water production capacity.
The highly versatile SQN has an internal diesel generator that produces 6 kW electric power. If the community needs additional power, we recommend the Solar PowerFold (SPF) solar panel array. These units are available in 9 kW, 27 kW, 54 kW and 108 kW systems.
The SQN operating cost is very low for solar and up to several cents per gallon for generator or grid power. The cost is FAR lower than the equivalent in truckloads of bottled water. And, FAR more friendly to our environment.
With these systems, villagers won’t have to walk miles carrying safe water. Now, they can convert local bad
water from any source into clean, safe water for their healthy use. And, now, they can enjoy the blessing of electricity.
