Description

AUTONOMOUS POTABILIZING PLANT Object of the invention

The present invention relates to an autonomous water treatment plant, of the type comprising a water purification and sanitation equipment for human consumption, intended to be used in catastrophe sites or areas with humanitarian emergencies.

Field of application of the invention.

This water treatment plant is applicable in the water treatment and water treatment machinery industry for human and animal consumption.

Background of the invention.

Water purification plants are known for the treatment of water collected anywhere and to eliminate those elements that can be carried in suspension, such as particles of earth and other solids, dissolved salts and microorganisms. These water treatment plants provide clean and chlorinated water so that it can be consumed directly and used without risk of disease.

For this, these water treatment plants comprise a complex water purification and sanitation equipment equipped with particle filters, reverse osmosis treatment systems to extract salts and chemical treatment devices, in addition to chlorine dosers among other elements, collecting the water to be treated by suction pumps or the like. With this equipment you can take advantage of water from rivers, wells, reservoirs and other places that are not initially suitable for human or animal consumption due to the health risks it presents.

These water treatment plants are used in places where it is

it is necessary to have clean and potable water and a network of

conventional supply or in emergency situations, such as in places

where there have been natural catastrophes or events that disable the network of

Conventional supply of drinking water and the population must be cared for.

Some of these plants are mounted on metal racks

which enable its handling as portable or portable equipment. Without

However, these plants present two important problems for their use

autonomous, consistent in that they need an electrical supply to be able to

function and should be placed in roofed or protected areas of the

1st

weathering for proper operation and not be damaged their

complex devices due to rain, sun or wind.

In the event of a catastrophe emergency or similar, the

power supply is also often interrupted, which for its

operation, the water treatment plant must be accompanied by a generator

fifteen

additional electric motor. This situation increases your dependence and

reduced mobility due to high energy and fuel consumption

necessary on which it depends.

Likewise, the need for protection from the weather

it also reduces the places where a plant can be located

twenty

watermaker to those with buildings or shelters that are still usable without

risks These ideal places to place the water treatment plant are

scarce, in the case of a catastrophe such as an earthquake or a

flood.

The applicant of the present invention is unaware of the existence

background that satisfactorily solve the problem

exposed.

Description of the invention

The autonomous water treatment plant, object of this invention, 30 has some technical features intended to offer useful operation in any location where there is water for

treat, without dependence on other energy supplies or any protection

in front of the weather.

The water treatment plant is of the type that includes a

water purification and sanitation equipment, allowing to produce water

5

Drinking from unhealthy water collected from the environment.

In accordance with the invention, the water treatment plant comprises

a closed metal container for the purification equipment housing and

sanitation, the container presenting some interior access doors,

an energy generator of the type being associated with the container

1st

renewable, electrical supply for the power supply of the equipment

purification and sanitation.

Thus, the water treatment plant can be transported in a way

conventional to any place where necessary and works in a manner

totally independent, without the need to connect to any source in

fifteen

electric power, such as the power grid or a motor generator that

depend on fuel. This plant obtains energy for its operation

prolonged renewable energy generator from it

time of commissioning and the only supplies you need are

spare parts of filters or chlorine from the water treatment equipment and

twenty

water sanitation This water treatment plant allows its use in countries

from the third world and refugee camps where supply

Conventional energy is null or very restricted.

The closed container, for example a type container

marine, keeps the water treatment equipment protected inside and

25

sanitation, with which the water treatment plant can be located in any

Weathering place. This is useful when the water treatment plant is used in

places where natural catastrophes have happened that have destroyed the

buildings and shelters available.

In a preferred embodiment, the type power generator

30

renewable includes photovoltaic panels arranged on the roof of the

   container. These photovoltaic panels are arranged on a structure

of support and guidance, in such a way that maximum is achieved

use and efficiency of sunlight captured by the plates

photovoltaic

In one embodiment, the container comprises two compartments or

5

spaces, being in a first cabin the water treatment equipment and

sanitation, and the second cabin is arranged next to the doors to

the storage of the renewable type energy generator during the

Transportation of the water treatment plant. This setting allows in

stored state and during transport the water treatment plant presents

an external configuration of conventional container, enabling its

handling by cranes and trucks. In turn, this second cabin

allows to have a protected space during the operation of the

water treatment plant, destined to the personnel that manages it and carries out its

maintenance and control

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

30

As you can see in the referenced figures the plant

   water purifier comprises a closed container (1), with doors (11) of

access, which has two interiors inside (12, 13),

being in a first cabin (12) a water treatment equipment (2) and

water sanitation In turn, the container (1) has on its roof a

Renewable type power generator for electrical supply to the equipment (2)

5

of purification and internal sanitation. This type power generator

renewable includes in this case photovoltaic panels (3) arranged

on a support and orientation structure (31), being the set of
