Abstract

In this paper, practical experiences of a mobile water treatment plant used for the first time in the aftermath of the 2004 Tsunami are discussed. The advantages of the mobile water treatment plant are its simple operation, and its low energy and chemical consumption. The operation of the device has been very successful. The installation has been used during several other natural disasters in Indonesia. Currently more than 30 installations are used on a daily basis in Indonesia.
