Brief Description
Description : | This system is designed for arsenic removal at a moderate flow rate of approximately 350–450 LPH with a large filtration capacity of about 40,000 litres. It uses a single-stage purification process with multiple replaceable cartridges and operates without electrical power. The system is particularly suitable for institutional use such as schools, hospitals, and public facilities in arsenic-affected areas.
Key Features: • Flow rate of 350–450 LPH with filtration capacity of ~40,000 litres • Single-stage purification with 18 replaceable cartridges • Effective for arsenic concentrations up to ~0.3 ppm • Operates without electricity • Suitable for institutional and community deployment |
