GadgetroniX – Reverse osmosis system at the Lake Ndutu Tented Lodge (Tanzania)

GadgetroniX installed a solar-powered reverse osmosis (RO) system at the Lake Ndutu Tented Lodge in Tanzania to provide a sustainable and reliable source of potable water, reducing reliance on grid power and lowering operational costs.

• GadgetroniX implemented a containerized reverse osmosis plant at Lake Ndutu Tented Lodge that produces 1,000 liters of clean water per hour. The system includes filtration and dosing components such as carbon media, green sand, sediment filters, and online antioxidant and antiscalant dosing.
• The water system is integrated with a solar power setup consisting of an 8.64 kWp solar array using 16 JA Solar MBB Half-cell Monocrystalline PV Modules (540 W each). The electrical infrastructure includes two VICTRON SmartSolar MPPT 150/85-TR charge controllers, three VICTRON Multiplus-II Inverter Chargers (3.0kVA 48V), and a 10kWh FREEDOM WON LiTE COMMERCIAL 10/8 HV LiFePO4 lithium battery.
• The installation addresses previous inefficiencies where water supply was costly and heavily dependent on grid power. The new system utilizes a Victron Cerbo GX and GX touch display for remote monitoring and real-time performance tracking to ensure proactive maintenance.
