WorldWater & Solar Technologies Receives Order
To Provide 10 Solar Pumping, Purifying Units For Darfur, Africa
8/10/2007
Pennington, NJ — WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp., developer and
marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, has announced that the
company has received an order to produce 10 Mobile MaxPure™ units for use in
Darfur, Sudan. The proprietary portable solar driven water pumping and
purifying units, purchased for an aggregate of $775,000, will provide
approximately 30,000 gallons of safe drinking water daily at each of 10
sites across the ravaged desert region.
Thousands are dying each month in Darfur, mainly women and children, and the
WorldWater Mobile Max systems will supply fresh water for approximately
60,000 persons per day. Deliveries are scheduled for late September/October
with installation in October/November.
"We are honored to build these state-of-the-art water pumping and
purification units that can operate anywhere, starting in less than a
half-hour after arrival at site," said Quentin T. Kelly, Chairman and CEO of
WorldWater. "The units are built in tough, sturdy 7-foot cubes which unfold
automatically to deliver some 3.5 Kilowatts of electrical power. They can
produce water from wells or surface sources 24 hours per day, directly from
the sun during the day and from a bank of batteries at night. We expect
Mobile Max to save many lives in Darfur," stated Mr. Kelly.
The Mobile MaxPure™ is a portable, solar-powered pumping and water
purification system. A self-contained, stand-alone unit, the Mobile
MaxPure(TM) is also equipped with a satellite based communications system
and a 3KW inverter with battery bank for emergency power needs. Compact and
rugged, easy to operate and maintain, the Mobile MaxPure™ harnesses the
power of the sun to bring water and electricity to those in need. It can be
powered by solar power alone or in combination with an optional back-up
generator. The Mobile MaxPure™ water purification system incorporates a
multi-stage micro filtration process and ultraviolet light treatment to
sanitize water contaminated by dirt, silt, bacteria, cysts, worms,
parasites, viruses and other pathogens.
