Indonesian National Police Water Purification Vehicle Case Study | SPECTRA LB-2800F and KATADYN MF-7

案例原始資料｜Original Case Information

現場需求｜The Challenge

Indonesia required a durable, transportable drinking water treatment system capable of immediate operation under various raw water conditions. Raw water at disaster sites can come from rivers, lakes, groundwater, brackish water, or seawater, and a single treatment unit often struggles to cover all scenarios.

Therefore, the tactical water purification truck is not equipped with just one desalination system, but integrates water intake, pre-filtration, reverse osmosis purification, storage, and UV post-treatment onto a single vehicle. The raw water pump can draw water from up to approximately 80 meters away, eliminating the need for the vehicle to be parked directly by the water source.

一輛車，同時處理淡水與海水｜The Solution

When facing seawater or high-salinity water, the SPECTRA LB-2800F can produce approximately 440 liters of drinking water per hour; when treating fresh water, the entire system can produce about 1,500 liters per hour. The truck is equipped with a 1,600-liter storage tank and uses a UV device for post-treatment.

Based on the original case's estimate of 4 liters of drinking water per person per day, the seawater mode can support approximately 2,600 people, while the freshwater mode can support approximately 9,000 people. These numbers represent the supply scale under specific water production conditions, and actual missions still require planning based on raw water quality, continuous operation time, climate, and distribution methods.

The entire vehicle can be transported by a Hercules aircraft and can begin operation approximately 30 minutes after arriving on site. At the time of the case's publication, 3 units were already in use, and another 3 were planned for completion in 2022; this quantity is retained based on the historical information of the original case.

兩種核心處理設備｜System Components

SPECTRA LB-2800F Watermaker

The LB-2800F utilizes reverse osmosis technology and a Pearson Pump energy recovery device. Its fixed recovery rate design allows the system to adapt to salinity changes in fresh, brackish, and seawater, with automated control and freshwater flushing handled by Spectra Connect.

KATADYN MF-7 Ceramic Microfilter

The MF-7 employs ceramic microfiltration technology and can treat fresh water independently or serve as pre-filtration for a reverse osmosis system. Original manufacturer case data indicates that the ceramic element can be cleaned up to approximately 100 times, helping to reduce the burden of high-turbidity raw water on downstream equipment.

在地製造與任務支援｜Local Integration

The vehicle system was constructed, integrated, tested, trained, and serviced by Teknocorp in Indonesia. This division of labor is crucial: the main watermaker provides core treatment capabilities, while the local technical team ensures that the vehicle, water intake, power distribution, piping, and maintenance comply with actual mission environment requirements.

KATADYN Taiwan 對案例的理解

For military, police, fire, disaster relief, and water resource agencies, planning a mobile water supply vehicle requires simultaneously confirming the raw water range, daily water supply per person, transportation methods, power sources, spare parts, operational training, and maintenance responsibilities to ensure that the equipment can quickly establish water supply capabilities at the mission site.
