[Stoves] Using TLUD and other chars for water treatment in developing communities:

[Crispin Pemberton-Pigott]

Dear Josh (is he subscribed?)

 

Great article. Having gone to Africa in 1977 to build rural water supply
systems I appreciate the usefulness of the system you have created. I have
on question you might be able to answer.

 

If I boil water in a container that has some char in it, will it help in any
manner? Is it worth putting some into the container?

 

I was wondering if the processing temperature might have to be above a
certain value to get a taste-free result. Ideas? Experiences?

 

Thanks
Crispin

 

 

 

FYI we had an article published last month on using TLUD and other chars for
water treatment in developing communities:
