Off-grid solar water pasteurisation
Application
Designed for off-grid reliability, and tested to WHO criteria, SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI delivers at least 99.99% protection against dangerous waterborne
- viruses
- protozoa and
- bacteria.
SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI is suitable for use under all microbial water quality conditions, including high levels of challenge. Water input should not be hard.
Components
SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI is a flow-through pasteurization device. It comprises
- solar thermal panel
- thermostatic control valve
- external heat exchanger
- legs for optimum tilt.
Maintenance and lifespan
Reusable for 20 years in daily use, SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI can be stored for 20 years as an emergency standby. Soft water use only. Weekly visual maintenance checks required for leaks. Annual maintenance to take apart and clean heat exchanger.
How does pasteurisation work?
Water heats to 75 °C in the heat exchanger’s outer pipe. It then flows into the solar thermal panel, where it is pasteurized at approximately 80 °C for four minutes. The pasteurized water then flows into the inner pipe of the heat exchanger, where it is cooled before release. Then the water is drinkable.
WHO "Comprehensive Protection"
This product has been tested as part of the WHO International Evaluation Scheme for Household Water Treatment Technologies and it was found to have: ‘Comprehensive protection: two-star’’.
The above is addressed to health and water professionals also government officials.
Technology details
SUNLIFEWATER by Jamebi is manufactured in UK to ISO 9002
Energy Requirements
Solar powered, so typical operating constraints and opportunities of solar technology apply. No operation at night, or when shaded, or under dense cloud. Reduced operation under intermittent cloud or hazy skies. Peak operation, in terms of supply of pasteurized water, on sunny, ie wholly blue-sky, days. Ideal place of use is tropical locations with minimal clouds or haze.
Other features
Installed stationary. Ease of use is a design principle. Off-grid, stand-alone, flow-through design. Supplied either flat-pack, for self-assembly, or pre-assembled. 3 sqm solar panel. Legs included for correct tilt. Only inputs are sun and water, gravity fed, from header tank. User normally provides both header and delivery tanks. Users may also provide basic particulate filtration if needed.
How much drinking water does SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI make?
On a sunny, wholly blue-sky day in the tropics with an air temperature of 30C
- Max hourly output: 40 litres / hour at noon.
- Max daily output: 250 litres / day.
On a sunny, partially blue-sky day in the tropics with an air temperature of 30C
- Typical daily output: 100-200 litres per day.
What is the cost of SUNLIFEWATER by JAMEBI's drinking water?
Typically, in continuous use, over 20 years, the cost is below
- 0.3 US cents per litre or
- 0.2 UK pence per litre
This is around 50-100 times cheaper than the cost of bottled water! Which makes JAMEBI a very low cost clean water supply.
