BROLGA
OUR MICRO WATER TREATMENT PLANT WITH ITS OWN IoT BRAIN

Many parts of the world do not have access to a reliable supply of clean water, making people dependent on unsafe and expensive decentralised systems for their water.

Water Source Australia is changing this with the introduction of the Brolga. The Brolga contains the latest technology to deliver safe drinking water anywhere with compromised water supply.

The Brolga is designed for autonomous operations. It provides a continuous supply of drinking water that meets Australian and WHO drinking water guidelines, with minimal human intervention.

Key Factors
KEY FACTORS GUIDING THE BROLGA'S DEVELOPMENT
Over
2 billion

people worldwide do not

have access to clean water.

Over
500,000

people die from drinking microbial-contaminated water per year

The Brolga can provide
30,000

litres of clean drinking water per

day.

THE BROLGA
A game changer in water purification

Inside the robust outer casing of the Brolga is a multi-stage system that uses certified ultrafiltration technology and validated ultraviolet disinfection to produce safe drinking water.

The Brolga's IoT 'brain' anticipates in-field operational issues, and resolves them autonomously to produce potable water continuously, without human intervention. 

Best-in-class sensors, pre-filters and pumps are integrated seemlessly into the Brolga, allowing for compact design and a packaged turn-key solution, making the Brolga a true micro water treatment plant.

The unit is transportable by truck or freight and can be plugged straight into mains electricity, or solar powered battery in remote areas.

KEY FEATURES
Feature Icon
Produces safe drinking water autonomously
The Brolga anticipates and resolves in-field issues to ensure a continuous supply of safe drinking water without the need for human intervention
Feature Icon
30,000L of water produced per day
This can service a community of around 150-200 people.
Feature Icon
In-built connectivity
The Brolga's inbuilt cellular network allows it to be configured, controlled and monitored remotely, providing visibility and enabling troubleshooting, minimizing the need for service visits
Feature Icon
Dashboards and reporting
The Brolga sends information from its 21 sensors to the AWS cloud continuously, allowing users to monitor performance and see alerts via a dashboard. Deeper analytics and trend analysis is also possible.
Feature Icon
Networked capability
Brolga can operate as a single unit, or as part of a networked solution of Brolgas, controlled by ELEIoT
Feature Icon
System lock-down
The Brolga is designed to stop operating if its sensors detect it cannot produce safe drinking water. Anti-theft technology will also shut the Brolga down if it is tampered with or moved.
IoT CONNECTIVITY
The Brolga's inbuilt IoT infrastructure, ELEIoT, is hosted on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud to deliver a highly secure platform that enables remote monitoring and control of the Brolga, as well as providing dashboarding, data analytics and reconfiguration of the Brolga
How does it work?
Feature Icon
01 Device Control System
Powered by an industrial grade single board computer incorporating a hardware security module, the device control system continually monitors the health of the unit and collects over 20 data points every second to make intelligent decisions to ensures safe drinking water is always produced.
