Product description

The Mobile Siphon Tank is a compact, transportable water purification system designed for emergency response and remote-site water treatment. It employs a filter-media-free granular filtration method based on original 'siphon cleaning' technology, making it highly efficient and versatile.

Mounted on trucks or trailers, this system is easily deployable in disaster zones or remote areas lacking infrastructure. It has undergone six field-driven design iterations to enhance durability and disaster resilience, ensuring reliable performance in challenging conditions.

The Mobile Siphon Tank treats diverse water sources, including river, borehole, or municipal supplies, without the need to change media. This innovative approach provides safe drinking water quickly and effectively, addressing a critical need in emergency situations.

Japan's ODA initiatives have successfully utilized this system in Laos and Vietnam, where it is paired with local staff training on operations and sustainability practices. In the Philippines, it has supported emergency water supply during typhoons and droughts, showcasing its adaptability and reliability.

Offering a turnkey solution, the Mobile Siphon Tank covers deployment, purification, training, and periodic maintenance, ensuring continuous access to potable water in various settings. From municipal intake points in Thailand to remote villages in Mozambique, this system is a scalable, field-tested tool for resilient water access and disaster preparedness.
