A rapid-deployment, 36-ft gooseneck water treatment plant engineered to keep hospitals, commercial kitchens, and communities pressurized with treated water during Boil Water Advisories, storms, and water main breaks — under state emergency-use approval.
The U.S. sees roughly 240,000 water main breaks a year (ASCE estimate), plus storm- and freeze-driven Boil Water Advisories.
Without domestic water pressure, hospitals lose sterile processing, dialysis support, sanitation, and fixtures on upper floors — and may have to divert patients or evacuate, at very high cost and patient risk.
During a Boil Water Advisory, health departments typically require food businesses to stop using tap water or close unless they have an approved alternate source — every day closed is lost sales and spoiled inventory.
A tanker holds about 6,000 gallons per load and delivers unpressurized water that can't flush upper-floor toilets or run commercial dish machines without extra pumping equipment.
City water and most lakes are fresh water (low TDS) — the targets are pathogens and sediment, not salt.
Each barrier earns credit only when it's monitored: UF by daily integrity test, UV by validated dose, chlorine by measured contact time.
Hydrant water (held at ≥ 20 PSI residual by a pressure-sustaining valve) or tanker water fills a 3,000-gal break tank; a 15 HP pump draws 260 GPM through an auto-flushing strainer.
Bags catch pipe scale and silt first; PACl coagulant (only when raw turbidity > 5 NTU) is dosed after the bags so floc can't blind them.
10,850 sq.ft. of NSF 419-tested membrane, < 0.05 NTU, daily pressure-decay integrity test. During a 45-sec backwash the partner train carries ~125 GPM.
≥ 40 mJ/cm² UVDGM-validated dose with UVT monitoring — a second barrier for Giardia and Cryptosporidium. (Onboard GAC removed in Rev B: too little contact time to support VOC/PFAS claims.)
About 6 min effective contact at 1.5–2.0 mg/L gives 4-log virus inactivation; the PLC calculates CT live from flow, temperature, pH, and residual.
Three 15 HP multistage pumps (2 duty + 1 standby) hold 65–85 PSI at the building, after RPZ and hose losses, through an ASSE 1013 RPZ.
Towed by a Class 5 chassis cab (F-550 / Ram 5500 class). No semi-tractor, but the ~49,500 lb GCWR means a Class A CDL driver and a USDOT number.
XV-601, XV-205), then fills the UF modules with preservative — PVDF membranes are never blown dry.
Any out-of-range reading closes the building outlet XV-602 automatically.
AIT-201)
Normal: 0.02 NTU
Hach TU5300sc laser nephelometer monitors UF filtrate continuously. If turbidity exceeds 0.15 NTU for 5 seconds, XV-602 closes and XV-300 opens to waste. A daily pressure-decay test proves fiber integrity.
AIT-402/601)
Target: 2.0 mg/L
Live CT is calculated at the contact-tank outlet. If CT falls short, residual drops below 0.8 mg/L or exceeds 4.0 mg/L, or UV dose drops below 40 mJ/cm² with the standby reactor on, the building outlet locks out.
The trailer never pumps from the main. Pressure-sustaining valve PSV-100 holds the hydrant at ≥ 20 PSI and fills an air-gap break tank; if PT-100 can't hold 20 PSI, XV-100 closes and supply switches to tanker.
VFD boosters control on a remote building-side transmitter (PT-603) from 5 to 250 GPM, with a high-pressure trip at 90 PSI at the building and an ASSE 1013 RPZ backflow preventer.
At a pre-surveyed site with a pre-installed tie-in, following the CDC/AWWA hospital emergency water supply guide and the state's emergency approval.
Set cones and signs, park near hydrant and tie-in, level on the hydraulic jacks, start the 80 kW generator (or approved shore power), and check the chemical room.
Deploy break and contact tanks. Utility meter + backflow + PSV-100 on the hydrant (≥ 20 PSI) or start tanker shuttle. Waste to sanitary sewer. Utility/facility closes the building's service valve.
Startup flush to waste, UF integrity test, fill and turn over the contact tank until CT and residual are green, pull Bac-T samples, and sanitize the delivery hose with the 50 mg/L hose kit.
Pressurize building risers at 30 PSI first while bleeding trapped air from top-floor faucets (preventing water hammer), then ramp VFD boosters to 75 PSI.
