The Luxembourg Army is pursuing new, modern paths in the area of drinking water treatment. Since October, the soldiers of the Grand Duchy have been purifying their water using the Karcher Futuretech Waterclean WTC 1600 GT before filling it into bags by means of the WPS 1600 GT water packaging system.
Up to 1,600 litres of drinking water can be filled into individual bags in an hour. In the field, the soldier can choose his preferred size of bag, from 0.25 litre or 0.5 litre to 1 litre. The so-called chain bags can be carried by the soldiers directly on their person.
Working together, the systems for drinking water purification and packaging represent a compact and economically efficient solution for operation in the field, starting at the water source and ending with the satisfaction of thirst. With a contract volume of more than 1.7 million Euros for three complete systems, the Luxembourg need of mobile drinking water supply has been met for the time being.
