METAWATER has developed an emergency water treatment system that can contributeto people in affected areas in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake, storm,or flood, and we are promoting initiatives to lend them to local governments free ofcharge. Based on experience from past disasters, this system incorporates a number ofinnovations to ensure effective operation in the affected area. These include the use ofa ceramic membrane that can be stored in a dry state for quick use, the use of a dolly
to separate the system so that it can be moved manually, the ability to flexibly change
specifications depending on the water quality of the water source and the installation
location of the system, and the ability for it to be used with commercial power sources.
Through initiatives leveraging our company’s strengths such as these, METAWATER
will continue to contribute to local communities.
