Potable Water International (PWI) has developed a simple machine which effectively converts salt into chlorine. The PWI Chlorine Generator can produce 1 Gallon of Distilled Chlorine from ½ cup of salt. One gallon of chlorine can effectively purify 800 to 1,000 gallons of water.
The technology has successfully completed one year of testing in Colombia where a PWI unit produces 80,000 gallons of potable water a day to a village of three thousand people. The system volume can be easily and inexpensively increased according to need.
How it Works
SCIENTIFIC PROCESS FOR PURIFYING WATER
Chlorine has been used routinely in U.S. public water systems for 100 years. Chlorine not only kills bacteria in the water at the treatment plant but also continues to disinfect all the way to the consumer’s tap. When hurricanes Katrina and Rita struck the Gulf Coast in 2005, chlorinated disinfectants for sanitizing drinking water were among the critical
emergency supplies that relief agencies brought in to help affected residents.+ The SYSTEM developed by PWI focuses on creating a sustainable flow of chlorine as used to purify water in remote locations around the world.
• A salt solution is run through the PWI SYSTEM and a chemical reaction occurs that turns the saltwater into a chlorine solution.
• The chlorine is then injected to purify the water supply, regulated according to the pollution of the incoming water supply.
• None of this technology is new; PWI has simply developed a system to automate the whole process.
