The company said that in addition to being environmentally friendly, the units are self-sufficient from a power perspective, and do not pull power from local grids when operating. The product can also provide water to populations stricken with humanitarian crises, such as natural disasters.
The units are completely turn-key and self-contained in two 40ft containers and, if desired, can be fitted with an optional automatic bottling line. They are powered by photovoltaic panels which charge solar storage batteries for operation of the unit at night.
Dr Yves Ducommun, CEO of SwissINSO, said: “Our solar water purification product uses a breakthrough technology that allows us to not only address the growing critical global problem of access to drinkable water whilst using clean, renewable energy through solar power, but to do it at the same time with the most efficient and durable technical solution.
“We believe this to be a very pertinent and compelling proposition in the context of renewable energy and sustainable development. We are currently assembling the first unit to produce 100,000 liters of high purity drinking water from brackish water. We are also actively building our network of distributors around the world.”
