Overview of Technology:

Custom Engineered Systems Inc. (CES) Multifunctional Water Purification Systems were originally developed packaged plant designs to provide safe economical drinking water to people living in third-world and outside city rural conditions. To accomplish this, these plants direct water through a series of process modules to remove pollutants, destroy all bacteria, viruses, parasites and cysts, fungi, radio-nuclides, bio-toxins, and chemical toxicants. While based on well known technologies, each module has been greatly advanced to maximize its effectiveness, lower its operating costs, simplify maintenance, and ensure its reliability.

 

Performance

  • Independent certified lab results provided by vendor showed the capability to turn raw municipal sewage water mixed with rat poison, gasoline, motor oil, antifreeze and selenium based shampoo into bottled quality drinking water in a few minutes and pictures of demonstrations.
  • Activated Carbon, Ozone, UV, Step Clarification, Oily Water Separation, Diatomaceous Earth and Electroflocculation are key components in the CES modular drinking water system.
  • Analytical Data Showed: Fecal Count went from 360,000 to 0.0, Toluene from 321,000 ug/l to Below Detection Limits, TSS went from 314 to , Selenium went from .366 mg/l  to Below Detection Limits.  CES units remove entire categories of pollutants without using Reverse Osmosis. CES Activated Carbon, Ozone, and Diatomaceous Earth can remove over 4,000 pollutants without fouling. CES can regenerate its activated carbon onsite at little expense saving thousands of dollars in replacement and transport costs. The vendor included several tables of specific biological, chemical and industrial pollutants removed or killed by their systems.      

 

Deployment

CES water treatment systems are designed to operate under worst case conditions to remove chemical and bio-agents from water at high rates of speed and low cost without fouling. All mobile units are designed military tough.

All CES water treatment systems are delivered as a premanufactured and tested set of modules. This design allows us great flexibility and speed in engineering the proper system for each situation. The concept of ultra-compact modular sets allows CES to put an entire city drinking water or sewage treatment system together in months instead of years. By simply changing the first two process modules in a standard water treatment train CES can completely change the functionality of each system.  

 

Portability

a. Small and medium sized units are ultra-compact and designed to be mobile units, for example:

b. CES Model RF-35 is only 10ft x 6ft x 8ft  = L x W x H,  Max Capacity 60,000 GPD

c. CES RF-100m  20ft x 8ft x 10ft = L x W x H, Max Capacity 144,000 GPD, Covered Trailer  

d. CES RF-700m  53ft x 8ft x 8.5ft = L x W x H, Max Capacity 1,200,800 GPD, Covered trailer

 

Operating and Maintenance Costs 

Depending on the specific needs of our clients, CES selects and sizes the appropriate treatment modules to optimize the residence time and flow of water through the system. In simple terms, a CES water treatment system consists of a pump that pushes water through a series of process modules at specified flow rate. The energy requirements of CES water treatment plants are surprisingly low.

 

CES builds its commercial process modules with stainless steel to maximize durability. CES uses EPA drinking water standard materials and lightweight quality commercial pumps, valves, filters, seals, and UV lamps. We offer quarterly maintenance service to regenerate CES activated carbon towers and precision tuning of equipment on a contract basis.

  Performance Summary

 

Scope:   Vendor provided evidence current product lines go far beyond water disinfection.

Raw municipal sewage mixed with motor oil, gasoline, rat poison, shampoo (containing 1% selenium), mixed paint solvents and antifreeze has been consistently purified better than US EPA drinking water standards (See Lab Results). Many foreign rivers are municipal sewers. CES claims to be able to consistently remove and destroy thousands of pollutants and water borne diseases. CES has developed new proprietary designs for advanced water purification and regenerative activated carbon filtration, high speed water clarification and disinfection based on chamber ultra-violet radiation and catalytic ozone. The levels of ozone and UV used by CES are each capable of “total kill” of all common and uncommon bacteria, fungi, parasites, parasitic cysts, and viruses.

 

Vendor has provided extensive information on the disinfection capabilities of ozone and UV and the specific types of bacteria, viruses and mold which can be destroyed using standard ozone and UV units.
