SuMeWa | SYSTEM
AUTARCON

Solution Overview & Benefits
The SuMeWa|SYSTEM, developed by AUTARCON GmbH, is designed to provide safe drinking water in areas lacking reliable infrastructure. Operating entirely on solar energy, it eliminates the need for external power sources or chemical additives. The system utilizes anodic oxidation to produce chlorine from naturally occurring salts in the water, ensuring effective disinfection without the complexities of handling and transporting chemicals.
Key Features:
- Solar-Powered Operation: Functions entirely on solar energy, requiring no batteries or external power sources.
- On-Site Chlorine Generation: Produces chlorine through anodic oxidation of salts present in the water, eliminating the need for external chemicals.
- Automated Monitoring: Equipped with sensors and a SCADA system for real-time monitoring and remote control.
- Adaptable Design: Modular components allow for customization based on specific water quality requirements, including optional modules for removing iron, manganese, and other contaminants.
- Low Maintenance: Designed for ease of use with minimal maintenance, suitable for operation by local personnel with basic training.
