Dutch Water Treatment Systems for Haiti

PWN in partnership with Norit X-Flow is supplying seven advanced Perfector-E compact water treatment systems to the Haiti region.

PWN is a water company located in the northern part of The Netherlands and is a world-wide trendsetter in new water treatment technologies. The Norit Group is a world leader in the supply of activated carbon and membrane ultrafiltration.

PWN and Norit X-Flow developed and deployed the Perfector-E immediately after the 2004 tsunami tragedy in Asia. The Perfector-E is a self-contained, easy to use, portable water treatment plant that addresses the needs of people desperate for a reliable source of drinking water.

Each Perfector-E unit has its own unique filtration system, a combination of membrane filtration with UVlight sterilization, based on Norit X-Flow technology. The Perfector-E is completed with a power generator to produce the required electricity and a pump with a floating hose to feed the unit with polluted water. The seven Perfector-E units to be utilized in Haiti will produce a total of 336,000 liters of reliable drinking water per day.

Six PWN engineers, who were extensively trained by Norit, are accompanying the units to assure that they will run properly and assist with the dispensing of water to the Haiti victims.
