Miracell®, due to its light, efficient and innovative design features, requires very little power to operate. With unique design implementations, Miracell® wastewater treatment system operates with solar power either via solar panels mounted on individual modules or configured to run on a system of modules with combined panels in a separate section of the system. This capability makes Miracell®, if not the only, but certainly one of the few, implementations of a solar-powered sewage treatment plant in the world. The 0.25 kWh power requirement needed to operate each module, along with its patented unique design features, enables the state-of-the-art sewage treatment plant to be driven by solar power.
Solar-powered sewage treatment capabilities can be applied to sewage treatment applications in remote areas with limited access to power. Applications such as remote mining camps, temporary archaeological camps, and temporary labour sites, as well as other similar requirements of mobile groups of people and small remote communities with access to solar power, are very well suited for this type of application.
As seen in the pictures below, Miracell® has already found applications in village implementations where solar power-driven implementation provides continuous operation to this village’s sewage treatment plant, which experiences frequent power outages. Also visible in the pictures is a Miracell module equipped with self-mounted solar panels.
