ABSTRACT:
A self-contained, self-sufficient system and method for purifying non-potable water to make the water potable is disclosed. The system comprises (a) means for oxidizing which treats the non-potable water by oxidizing organic substances, disinfecting the non-potable water by destroying parasites, bacteria and viruses, and causing coagulation of colloids, (b) means for filtering the treated non-potable water wherein oxidized organic substances, destroyed parasites, bacteria and viruses, and colloids are removed to provide potable water, and (c) means for optionally generating a biocide from dissolved salts when dissolved salts are present in the non-potable water. The system can also include means for contacting potable water generated by the system with a biocide. The system is self-contained and self-sufficient, requiring no external resources for the continuous operation thereof. The system and method are controlled by a programmable logic controller to provide optimization, quality control, and damage prevention.
