Abstract

"Clean water lacking is a problem that occured in particular places that have contaminated water matter occasionally, for example the regions near brackish area, villages or town where flood disaster happened frequently or districts which no clean water sources due to natural or environment condition. In many cases there are also constraints found related with temporary clean water providing for these unlucky places such like proper water source or transportation and distribution when it has to be taken from other places. Therefore, developing mobile water treatment could be an alternative favour. The equipment is designed for river, other raw water source in flood area or semi brackish, and basically made for 1m3 per hour or 18-20m3 per day capacity, which is equal with 100-150 man requirement. This water treatment (WT) equipped with mobile feature and electric generator due to make easier in operational and moving. The machine is capable to produce clean water that suitable for sanitation and cooking/ drinking purposes although using contaminated water for input that taken from unproper or dirty sources, therefore clean water demand could be provided in nearly any condition. WT design is adopted from several existing technologies and related literatures with necessary modification in order to be appropriated with local parts availability due to maintenance aspect. Moreover, wider network could be developed with disaster mitigation management stake holder, small community or village board and relevant manufacturing industries, therefore its implementation might be more variously with rather bigger capacity according the needs."
