KATADYN POWERSURVIVOR 160E*
Katadyn’s top performing desalinator
FACT SHEET
REVERSE OSMOSIS
To remove dissolved salts from seawater with reverse osmosis, part of the salt water is filtered through a semipermeable mem
brane. Only 10% of the water passes through the membrane. The remaining 90% flow past the membrane and at the same
time cleans the membrane (selfcleaning effect). The small size of the "membrane pores" ensures extremely pure drinking wa
ter, but extremely high pressures must be generated normally 55 bar.
Reverse osmosis is used worldwide to obtain drinking water, e.g. in the semiconductor industry and in medicine.
KATADYN'S PATENTED ENERGY RECOVERY SYSTEM
The Katadyn Energy Recovery system takes advantage of stored energy in the high pressure reject water that is typically wa
sted. The pressurized reject water is recirculated to the back side of the piston to aid the next stroke. This energy is kept in the
system, resulting in less work to achieve fresh water.
CONDITIONS OF OPERATION
Battery with at least 60Ah/12 V. The PowerSurvivor can be connected to existing sea valves. Appropriate adapters are
supplied.
OPTIONS FOR POWERSURVIVOR
Silt Reduction Kit
For waters with high levels of suspended matter, e.g. in shallow anchorage, we would recommend you use an additional pre
filter. This additional filter is finer (5 microns 1 micron = 0.001 mm) than the standard filter (30 microns) and is placed after
it. A booster water pump (12V/0.8 A/h) is also provided. This pump compensates for the loss through the second filter and in
creases water production. We would also recommend the prefilter kit when the PowerSurvivor is not installed under the water
line and when it is in constant use to increase the intervals between servicing.
