Containerized, mobile and modular drinking water purifying system for rural areas to treat the existing but contaminated water easily and cost-effectively. PurAID® is a sustainable tailor-made water supply system for rural, isolated or less accessible areas and at institutions (hospitals, hotels, schools, etc.). The solution is certified by the United Nations and is listed by the UN among the SDG Acceleration Action tools. 

PurAID® system provides a complete solution to remove iron, manganese, ammonia, arsenic, boron and iodine and infections from drinking water in five steps. Depending on the water's contamination, PurAID® can provide more tailor-made assistance.

The PurAID® units can easily be organized into a network by connecting 5-10 individual units into a complex system, and installing a Service and Monitoring Center. PurAID® units are installed in a pallet-sized uniform metal box. Each box is equipped with a communication device to transmit the data measured by the modules' sensors. It works via GPS to the Service and Monitoring Center. Regeneration and changing of the filter media and adsorbent materials are also performed in the Center.
