Receipt of Order for a Mobile Ceramic Membrane Filtration Equipment to be Used in Madagascar
METAWATER Co., Ltd. (President: Yasushi Nakamura; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "METAWATER") is pleased to announce that it has received an order for a mobile ceramic membrane filtration equipment (hereinafter "Equipment") under grant aid assistance of Japan's official development assistance (ODA) (hereinafter "ODA Grant Assistance"). The Equipment aims to improve access to safe water and serve as an emergency measure in the event of a disaster in Madagascar.
Access to safe water in Madagascar is limited with almost half of its citizens using unmanaged water sources such as rivers and lakes. As a result, aquagenic diseases caused by unhygienic water are widespread.
METAWATER's mobile ceramic membrane filtration equipment allows purified water with stable water quality and quantity to be supplied even from highly turbid raw water. Furthermore, because generators are loaded, water treatment is possible even where public electric power is not available. Providing the Equipment will significantly improve access to safe water in Madagascar.
In addition to Madagascar, as a purification system that is portable and can be used as an emergency measure in the event of a disaster, METAWATER will continue to expand sales of the Equipment in areas where safe water is yet to be delivered.
