Background
• Military field operations require water
for multiple needs
• Two current Reverse Osmosis Water
Purification Units (ROWPU) in
service: 3000 GPH and 600 GPH
• ROWPU Operation and maintenance
procedures generate 4 types of
wastewater:
RO reject
RO backwash
ROM Cleaning Waste
Chlorinated Product Water

The Problem…...
• Training exercises produce
waste materials.
• EPA regulations prohibit raw
discharge of waste.
• Discharge regulations impact
training and readiness
• Mission critical assets diverted
for this purpose
• Affected budgets supporting
involved logistics
• FORSCOM identified
Permitting issues impacting
training and readiness in 1996
7
…one current solution
8
..and an even worse solution
9
Regulatory Drivers
• US EPA:
– 40 CFR 122-123
– Discharge permits are
required
– Environmentally
Sensitive areas
• Individual States:
– Different Interpretations
– Effluent parameters &
concentrations differ
– Source Water Conditions
10
U.S. Army Forces Command Goals
• Education & Communication
Between ROWPU Units and installations
Between Installation permit writers and States
• Identify Regulatory Concerns
• Pursue permits where needed
• Pursue technology-equipment fix where needed
11
U.S. Army Forces Command
MMFFS™ Program
• Work with installations and
states to ensure ROWPU
operations meet
regulations
• Allow “by the manual”
training thereby
maintaining readiness
• Reduce operational costs
and return equipment to its
original purpose
• Implement or adapt
commercially available
technology and solutions
MMFFS 3000 in transport configuration in an M105 1-1/2 ton Trailer.
12
FORSCOM Solution = MMFFS™
• MMFFS™ meets all FORSCOM
requirements for equipment fix.
• Designed for transport in M105
trailer
• Unit Weight: 2,400 lbs..
• Footprint: 8’L x 6’ W x 5’ H
• Set up in under 30 minutes
• One troop operable
• Configurable for two flow rates
120 GPM max - high flow path
66 GPM tortuous path
