Katadyn Manual Reverse Osmosis Desalinator PANNGB-26-P0000-032980
Summary
AI-generated · Jun 17, 2026A compact, hand-operated reverse osmosis desalination device is being sought to be included in an ACES II survival kit. It must fit the inner container rucksack dimensions (2.5 Tall (Flat) x 16.5 Long x 12 Wide) and convert 11.5–15.5 cups of salt water into potable water per day, delivering at least 1 liter per hour. The unit must operate without external power, be approved for survival raft use (FAA, NSN assignment), withstand saltwater immersion, high pressure, and rough handling, and fit within a compact footprint while requiring minimal maintenance and surviving storage in harsh environments.
It must meet the Technical Order 14S1-3-51 table 7-10 requirements as an optional component, and long lead items include patented RO membranes and specialized seals. This is framed as a military-unique requirement for aviation/maritime survival kits; commercial camping filters and consumer desalination systems do not meet the RO capacity, durability, or certification standards.
