The Skyhydrant™ unit is a simple potable water filtration system intended for sustainable low cost purification. It can be used for developing communities without access to medium term water supply and purification as well selected disaster relief applications.

 The Skyhydrant, developed by Memcor in cooperation with Skyjuice Foundation can produce a guaranteed minimum of 10,000 litres of drinking water per day, with an expected 15,000 - 20,000 litres of drinking water per day.

 The technology is based on a self-contained membrane filtration system that operates under minimal head conditions without the need for power and/or conditioning chemicals. It is intended to be used on poor quality feed waters such as surface water or ground water where conventional purification technologies may be unable to produce acceptable treated potable water.

 The design is compact, robust and self-cleaning. It is intended for efficient transport and deployment with minimal training and operator interface. The Skyhydrant™ unit is not intended to treat feed waters that are brackish, saline or salt-affected.

Once set up with a feeder header tank arrangement, filtered water will flow under gravity or siphon to a treated water storage tank. Please click on graphic to view diagram of process.

The Skyhydrant™ unit should be operated as part of an integral system according to best practices (such as OXFAM or SPHERE recommendations and guidelines).
