The purification method is based on the filter media Aqualite™. For more than one year JOSAB
and Dian Phala has worked together in modifying the JOSAB purification
method to find a solution for purification of the extremely difficult
raw water, which can be found in some regions of Indonesia. The military
of the country needed a mobile unit, which could provide their staff
with safe drinking water no matter where in the country they were
operating. Since no equipment like this was available, they asked Dian
Phala, whom contacted JOSAB. After several laboratory tests a pilot unit
was built for full-scale testing. After this the military research
department tested the equipment before an approval was issued. The raw water is
particularly difficult in some regions and can colour wise be compared
to coffee with ph as low as 3,5. The first two units have now been
delivered to the army and according to Dian Phala additional orders are
to be expected. Aqualite™ certified in Poland (9/8) The Polish National Institute of Hygiene PHZ has approved the mineral Aqualite™ for use in drinkingwater production within the country.
