A 22-ft compact gooseneck mobile water treatment unit (35 GPM continuous / 50 GPM peak) towed by a standard 1-ton pickup without a Class A CDL — engineered for AmeriPro's existing F.O.G. and hood-cleaning restaurant accounts during Boil Water Advisories and main breaks.
The 250 GPM hospital unit is 5× larger than a restaurant needs. Right-sizing unlocks faster ROI and zero CDL bottlenecks.
Federal Class A CDL rules trigger at 26,001 lb GCWR when the trailer exceeds 10,000 lb GVWR. At 9,990 lb GVWR behind a 1-ton pickup (~21,490 lb GCWR), any AmeriPro technician with a standard driver's license and DOT medical card can tow it.
AmeriPro already services restaurant kitchens for grease traps and exhaust hoods. Route technicians already know the owner, the back alley, the water shutoff, and the downstream sanitary sewer cleanout.
At $238,625 turnkey (vs. $601,450 for the MWTP-250), about seven 3-day restaurant deployments a year cover all fixed costs and the loan payment — proving the regulatory model with the state before or alongside the hospital flagship.
A busy full-service restaurant uses 4,000–10,000 gallons/day (6–15 GPM average), with short 35–50 GPM peak bursts.
TK-401) never exceed 35 GPM so 4-log virus contact time (T10 = 8.57 min) is never compromised.TK-601): Positioned over the tandem axles downstream of the contact tank.P-601A/B): Draw from the 150-gal clearwell to deliver up to 50 GPM peak bursts at 60–75 PSI whenever the dish pit and restrooms peak together.Every supply mode feeds the 550-gal collapsible break tank (TK-100) through a physical air gap and a 20 PSI pressure-sustaining valve (PSV-100).
During a Boil Water Advisory where the street main still has pressure (40–70 PSI), the MWTP-50 draws 15–35 GPM from a 1.5" valved tee the restaurant's plumber installs on the service line between the meter and the building valves (set up at the site survey, with utility approval), through PSV-100 into TK-100. Two closed building valves keep raw and treated water apart — no hydrant permit needed.
Connects via utility hydrant meter and backflow assembly through 1.5" pressure-sustaining valve PSV-100 (set to hold the street main at ≥ 20 PSI residual) into the TK-100 air-gap fill nozzle.
Whereas a 250 GPM hospital plant requires 15,000 gal/hr of continuous tanker shuttles during a zero-pressure outage, a restaurant using 4,000–6,000 gal/day can run all day on 1 or 2 potable tanker drops into TK-100.
BF-101A/B) accept radial-flow activated carbon block cartridges to polish off pipe odors for coffee, tea, and fountain drinks.

Every pathogen credit is backed by online verification: daily UF pressure-decay test, UVDGM-validated UV, and measured contact time.
P-101 (3 HP VFD) pulls 40 GPM from TK-100 through a 1.5" 200 µm auto-strainer and duplex 25 µm bag/carbon housings, followed by inline PACl dosing.
2,200 sq.ft. membrane area (24.2 GFD flux at 35 GPM). 60-inch vertical modules stand 6.5 ft tall to fit under a 7.5-ft roof. Automated daily pressure-decay test verifies ≥ 4-log protozoa removal.
UVDGM-validated ≥ 40 mJ/cm² dose with online UVT analyzer (AIT-401). Automatic duty-swap if lamp intensity drops.
TK-401)At 35 GPM, HDT = 17.1 min and T10 = 8.57 min (0.50 baffle factor). At 1.5 mg/L free Cl₂, CT = 12.85 mg·min/L — exceeding 4-log virus requirements even at 0.5 °C!
Separate bunded enclosures for 12.5% NaOCl vs. citric acid / bisulfite prevent accidental mixing, backed by AIT-901 Cl₂ gas detector, exhaust fan, and ANSI eyewash.
P-401 transfers CT-verified water into the 150-gal onboard clearwell; duplex 3 HP boosters (P-601A/B) hold 60–75 PSI through an ASSE 1013 RPZ (RPZ-602).
16-ft main treatment deck + 6-ft elevated gooseneck deck × 8-ft wide × 7.5-ft interior ceiling (about 10 ft 3 in road height — stays out of drive-thru lanes and canopies).

All motors are ≤ 3 HP with 240V 1-phase-in / 230V 3-phase-out VFDs — drawing just 8.25 kW average (34.4 Amps at 240V).
During a Boil Water Advisory, the restaurant still has grid power. Plugging into a pre-installed 240V 50A NEMA 14-50 / CS6365 receptacle runs the entire treatment plant silently next to outdoor dining patios with zero diesel exhaust.
When grid power is down or no 50A plug is available, the sound-attenuated 20 kW Tier-4 Final diesel generator (62 dBA) on the gooseneck deck runs for 47 hours continuously on its 40-gallon tank (0.85 gal/hr).

Fail-Safe Closed
Potable discharge valve XV-602 locks shut automatically if laser turbidity (AIT-201) exceeds 0.15 NTU, UV dose drops below 40 mJ/cm², free chlorine drops below 0.8 mg/L, or calculated 4-log virus CT falls below 1.0× required.
The UL-508A PLC/HMI (CP-701) prints or exports a timestamped PDF compliance report (daily DIT pressure-decay pass, turbidity, UV dose, and chlorine CT) + certified lab Bac-T chain-of-custody for the county health inspector.
Mapped in advance during regular AmeriPro F.O.G. and hood cleaning service visits.
Back 22-ft gooseneck into 2–3 parking spaces beside utility door, set 4 stabilizer jacks, plug into 240V 50A shore power (or start 20 kW gen), and unfold 550-gal & 600-gal ground tanks.
Close both building valves (double isolation) so treated water cannot backfeed the street. Connect the pre-installed service tee or hydrant via PSV-100 (≥ 20 PSI) to TK-100 air gap. Connect waste hose to downstream sanitary cleanout.
Run 5-min automated UF pressure-decay test (DIT-201), turn over 600-gal contact tank until CT and Cl₂ are green, pull Bac-T sample, and sanitize the 1.5"/2" potable hose with the 50 mg/L kit.
Fill kitchen lines at 30 PSI while bleeding air at the farthest 3-comp sink, then ramp duplex VFD boosters to 65 PSI. Verify ≥ 1.0 mg/L free Cl₂ at point of use.
