Applications
It is ironic that most people suffering from water shortages live in areas bordered by large amounts of water – but this water is unfit for consumption because it is polluted or salty. Conventional purification systems designed to address this problem usually rely on electricity or diesel generators. However many of the areas suffering from lack of water have no access to a reliable source of electricity or fuel, and therefore cannot use conventional systems.
Powered solely by solar energy and so completely autonomous, Krystall solves this problem. By providing easier access to clean water, Krystall meets a need increasingly experienced by communities where clean water is either unavailable, difficult to get to, or not fit for consumption.
Each day, water shortages pose serious problems to people in many parts of the world. Lack of clean water hampers economic development and poses a significant threat to public health. A Krystall unit eliminates the risk of contamination, providing safe water for drinking and other purposes. The combination of ease of deployment, independence from external energy sources and the large quantity of water produced means that Krystall can make a positive contribution to the overall development of an entire community.
Krystall delivers turnkey solutions to:
Governments and local communities
in search of a clean water supply solution for their populations. With Krystall, people are able to access much-needed clean water, which improves public health as a whole.
The WHO estimates that 80% of all diseases are due to a lack of hygiene or lack of water.
- Polluted water encourages the development of potentially fatal diseases such as cholera, typhoid and dysentery.
- Standing water encourages the development of mosquito larvae, transmitting diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and river blindness.
- Stagnant water where people wash and bathe may contain pathogenic agents or parasites carrying a number of diseases.
- Well water seeping down the water table is often very brackish, contaminated by nitrates or fertilizers.
NGOs and relief organizations
need prompt access to safe drinking water in their fight against the effects of war and natural disasters. The precarious situation of local communities in the wake of these events requires a rapid response in order to prevent the situation from deteriorating. Taking action to provide a supply of safe drinking water is a vital part of the humanitarian relief effort.
Krystall is an ideal mobile solution for NGOs, first-aid and relief organizations. The supply of drinking water is guaranteed even where traditional energy resources (electricity and fuel) are no longer available and water or transportation infrastructures are destroyed or ineffective.
The hospitality industry, manufacturing and agriculture
amongst other sectors, can benefit from Krystall’s unique applications.
- Seaside hotels can use Krystall to satisfy their water needs. Self-contained, autonomous and built to last, Krystall is totally independent of external energy sources. Krystall provides large quantities of water cost-effectively and without adverse environmental impact. It also operates silently. These factors give Krystall value for hotelkeepers and guests – particularly those concerned about the environment.
- Island resorts can benefit from Krystall’s continual and ample supply of fresh drinking water. Robust and built to last, the unit reduces operating costs by eliminating complicated and costly logistics to bring water to the islands.
- Industries, production lines and other facilities (such as hospitals) where high quality water is critical no longer need to depend on deficient water systems. The Krystall unit gives operators better production control, enabling them to guarantee product quality and contain costs more efficiently.
- Farming is closely linked to water. A sporadic supply of water may cause an entire harvest to be lost, with dire consequences. With the Krystall unit, farmers have the perfect tool at their disposal to manage periods of drought.
