METAWATER Co., Ltd. (President: Kenji Yamaguchi, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; hereinafter "METAWATER") is pleased to announce that it has received an order for mobile ceramic membrane filtration equipment under grant aid assistance of Japan's official development assistance (ODA). The Equipment aims to enhance disaster prevention and response capabilities in Lao People's Democratic Republic (Laos).
Laos has suffered from severe floods every year due to natural disasters such as typhoons. There is a strong need for disaster prevention and response-related equipment and materials, such as water purification systems, to supply safe drinking water to evacuated disaster victims.
METAWATER's mobile ceramic membrane filtration equipment can supply purified water of stable quality and quantity even with high turbidity raw water, and thanks to its on-board power generator, it is possible to treat water even in places where there is no public power supply. This equipment will greatly improve and enhance the disaster preparedness capacity in Laos
In addition to Laos, METAWATER will continue to expand the sales of this equipment as an emergency measure in the event of a disaster and as a mobile water purification system to areas where safe water is not readily available
