The 3,000 Gallons Per Hour (GPH), Light, Medium, Tactical (LMT), Water Purification System (3000 LMT) is capable of purifying a fresh water source (less than 1,500 TDS) at a rate of 3000 gallons per hour. The unit was designed to be transported by tactical vehicle or air lifted by helicopter to remote sites. The unit can also perform numerous additional functions such as decontamination, fire fighting, and irrigation.

Safe drinking water is something that is often assumed, but should never be taken for granted. In an earthquake, storm, flood, or civil strife, etc., people are often deprived of their life blood: safe drinking water. The death and rampant sickness that follow disasters are to a great extent, preventable.
The Model 6120 was developed for the US Military as a fast response, medium fresh water purification system that can make all the difference in the world in your next emergency. No systems are as effective as the Model 6120.

3000LMT Water Purification Unit
Characteristics
The 3000 LMT weighs 680 lbs, is a frame mounted, skid based, diesel operated, diatomite type unit, that requires 2 Marines to operate. The 3000 LMT uses three different chemicals for the filtration and storage process.
- Chlorine
- The Chlorine is used to kill bacteria in the water and to prevent its growth during storage. The chlorine comes in a granular form and is mixed with water into a solution.
- Polymer
- Polymer is a coagulant used to aid in the filtration process. Polymer creates a chemical reaction in which two or more small molecules bond together to form larger molecules. This makes the filtration more efficient.
- Diatomaceous Earth
- Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.) is any class of minute planktonic unicellular or colonial algae with solidified skeletons that form a diatomite, which is a light friable siliceous material derived chiefly from diatom remains and used especially as a filter. D.E. is a white powdery substance similar in appearance to flour and baking soda. The D.E. is going to be forming a cake on your filter elements to perform the filtration process.
