Miniature Water Purification Technology Ensures Safe Water for the Armed Forces, at Anytime, Anyplace

With the mission to help the UK Armed Forces in their military and humanitarian missions, Scotland-based company Novus has developed an innovative way of producing safe, medical-grade drinking water from any source, including swamps, floods, and wastewater.

Unlike conventional water purification techniques using reverse osmosis membranes or carbon filters, Novus’s own MVCD™ (Miniaturised Vapour Compression Distillation) system evaporates water vapor. This process leaves contaminants behind, including viruses, microplastics, and chlorine.

A small mobile and vehicle-mounted water purifier the size of two jerry cans uses this high-speed, low-energy technology. One unit produces more than 100 liters of clean water daily and will help keep the personnel well-hydrated with clean, safe water.

The water purifier from Novus has no removable parts compared to traditional ones, requires low power, and reduces plastic waste and carbon footprint.
