Mobile Ceramic Membrane Filtration Equipment to support water supply in flood-affected areas of Laos
METAWATER Co., Ltd. (President: Kenji Yamaguchi, Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) Mobile Ceramic Membrane Filtration Equipment contributed to water supply support in the areas affected by the massive floods that hit Laos in August 2023.
The extensive flooding that occurred in central and southern Laos damaged many water supply facilities, which caused shortages of drinking and daily use water and had a negative impact on public health in the affected areas. In response to this situation, the Centre of Water Supply and Environmental Health, the Lao Ministry of Health and the Public Health Department in Khammouane Province used METAWTER'S Mobile Ceramic Membrane Filtration Equipment, which can purify even highly turbid water caused by flooding, to carry out water purification treatment in Kounkham and Hineboun district in Khammouane Province, located in central Laos, for 14 days. This Equipment was used to provide drinking and daily use water to approximately 4,800 people per day.

METAWATER Co., Ltd. has received an order* and delivered two units of 'Mobile Ceramic Membrane Filtration Equipment', as a grant aid project of Japan's Official Development Assistance (ODA), to improve and strengthen the disaster prevention and recovery capacity in Laos. The Equipment is capable of stable water treatment even for highly turbid raw water, is easy to operate and maintain and can be installed on a truck and driven by the company itself. Mobile Ceramic Membrane Equipment was prepared as one of the countermeasures against the severe flooding that often occurs in Laos every year.
In July 2023, METAWATER's staff members trained officials from the Lao Ministry of Health in the operation and maintenance of this Equipment.
