SwissINSO Holding Inc. (OTCBB: SWHN) is pleased to announce the launch of its unique solar solution to the growing problem of drinking water shortages around the world. Powered by solar energy, the water purification units capitalize on cost-effective and cutting-edge patented technologies.
The product is available in a number of configurations capable of purifying seawater into 100,000 liters / day of high quality drinking water, 200,000 liters / day of brackish water and 500,000 liters / day spoiled water. Due to the use of a unique patented reverse osmosis membrane filtration technology, performance and life expectancy are unsurpassed.
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. This is critical in many situations and regions of the world where reliable electricity supplies are either unavailable or insufficient, such as in developing countries, remote areas, islands, hotel chains and resorts. The product can also provide water to populations stricken with humanitarian crises, such as natural disasters, in which lack of water can quickly become a matter of life or death.
The units are completely turn-key and self-contained in two 40 ft. containers and, if desired, can be fitted with an optional automatic bottling line. They are powered by state-of-the-art 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.”
