REVERSE OSMOSIS

To remove dissolved salts from seawater with reverse osmosis, part of the salt water is filtered through a semipermeable mem brane. Only 10% of the water passes through the membrane. The remaining 90% flow past the membrane and at the same time cleans the membrane (selffect). The small size of the "membrane pores" ensures extremely pure drinking wa

ter, but extremely high pressures must be generated mally 55 bar.

Reverse osmosis is used worldwide to obtain drinking water, e.g. in the semiy and in medicine.

KATADYN'S PATENTED ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM

The Katadyn Energy Recovery system takes advantage of stored energy in the high pressure reject water that is typically wa sted. The pressurized reject water is recirculated to the back side of the piston to aid the next stroke. This energy is kept in the system, resulting in less work to achieve fresh water.

CONDITIONS OF OPERATION

Battery with at least 60Ah/12 V. The PowerSurvivor can be connected to existing sea valves. Appropriate adapters are supplied.

OPTIONS FOR POWERSURVIVOR

Silt Reduction Kit

For waters with high levels of suspended matter, e.g. in shallow anchorage, we would recommend you use an additional pre

filter. This additional filter is finer (5 micronsfter it. A booster water pump (12V/0.8 A/h) is also provided. This pump compensates for the loss through the second filter and in creases water production. We would also recommend the prefilter kit when the PowerSurvivor is not installed under the water line and when it is in constant use to increase the intervals between servicing.
