There
are some who feel that the purification of drinking water "in the field"
is difficult, risky, and should only be handled by trained professionals. One
such opinion states: |

This is simply not the
case anymore, as even the un-trained novice can make safe and healthy drinking
water by using our portable purification units. In fact, the "NOAH SOLUTION"
re-writes the rules on remote water purification. Our units were designed,
engineered, and built to solve the very same problems as expressed above.

While
the Trekker and Nomad differ in capacity, they both use the same patented technology.
In addition to visibly cleaning the water, they also methodically kill
the bacteria and virus hidden to the naked eye. That's what sets the Nomad
and Trekker apart from all other products on the market. We've combined filtration
and Ultraviolet treatment, engineering them together into one cohesive process,
creating water purification units that are completely portable. |

Pre-Filtration
The
purification process starts with a pre-filter, screening the
source water at the point of entry. In the Noah product line, the pre-filter
screens are incorporated with the inlet hose. This is essential in preventing
the system from becoming plugged with rocks, mud, feces and other large
debris.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sediment
Filtration
The
water passes through a sediment filter. Adding a sediment filter provides
5-micron filtration to extend the life of the carbon filter by removing
unseen sediment that will prematurely clog the filter.This would include
the removal of:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Sand, Silt and Scale
- Dirt and Mud
- Other Suspended
Solids
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Carbon
Block Filtration
The
carbon block filtration process is actually comprised of two distinctly
different procedures.
-
Chemical
Bonding: Uses activated carbon (sometimes called activated
charcoal) which has a slight electro-positive charge added to it,
making an even more attractive bonding agent to chemicals and impurities.
When water is forced through the solid carbon block, it is forced to slow
down and increase the amount of contact time with the carbon, allowing
the carbon bonding to take place.
-
Mechanical
Straining: The carbon is compacted into a solid brick of material.
Every molecule of water is forced through the microscopic pores of carbon,
effectively straining out particle matter.

Ultraviolet
Treatment
Ultraviolet
treatment is the final, and in most cases, the most important step in
the purification process. After the carbon filter has cleansed the
water, it is exposed to intense dosages of UV light. This exposure effectively
destroys viruses, bacteria, fungi, algae and protozoa.
- UV light destroys a
microorganism by scrambling its DNA structure
- The cells are rendered
sterile and cannot reproduce
- The cells are dead
and no longer a threat
The table
below lists many common microorganisms and the Ultraviolet dosage (in microwatts
/ cm2) required for 99.9999% destruction. All Noah
products provide 16,000 microwatts / cm2 or greater
of UV exposure.
