Prepositioned Expeditionary Assistance Kits™ – PEAK™
Solar Powered Water Purification Systems
Key features include:
- Reverse Osmosis (RO) purification and desalination to create 1,500 gallons/day of drinking water from virtually any source
- 2.1 kW solar array with 2 kW auxiliary generator supplies continuous power to operate purification and
communication capabilities 24-hours/day with additional power generated for other uses. AC / DC electricity available through the Load Center - Stand-alone communications enables up to 50 remote users to communicate and share information directly with the PEAK central command base
- 18 kWh lithium ion battery bank provides power for night time operation
- Transport by sling load (certified), trailer, international shipping container or air
- Easy to set up and fully operational within 2 hours. Ships fully charged to enable immediate operability
- An environmentally friendly system capable of silent and pollution-free operation when using solar power and stored battery energy during operation
- No gasoline, diesel or external power source (other than the sun) required for operation
- Optional custom-designed trailer** enables transportability of loaded PEAK + trailer in standard ISO-shipping containers. Adaptable to civilian or military vehicles
