This article describes the design and economic characteristics of a modular water purification system built from standardized column segments. Each column can include up to three quickly interchangeable segments, each holding up to three disposable ion-exchange cartridges filled with OZOLA sorbent. The cartridges, based on mass-produced polymer fiber sleeves, ensure low consumable costs. The modular system is mounted on a dedicated platform equipped with pumps, mechanical self-cleaning filters, and measurement and control devices. A complete purification unit with a capacity of 1 m³/hour—comprising three three-segment columns, a pump, and a two-stage inlet and outlet filtration cascade—has a total cost of 35,000 USD. The modular design supports rapid maintenance, scalability, and cost-efficient operation.
