THE PROBLEM:

WORLDWIDE, 2 BILLION PEOPLE

use a water source contaminated with feces, and every year the subsequent diarrhea kills about half a million people*.

1/4 OF HEALTH CENTRES

do not have access to safe drinking water, and 10% have no sanitation**.

* WHO – 2022 ** WASH in HCF – 2022

Chlorine can eliminate

99.9% OF PATHOGENIC MICRO-ORGANISMS IN WATER

and protects water from microbial recontamination during transport and storage. The WHO also recommends:

a concentration of residual chlorine in drinking water between 0.2 and 0.5 mg/L at distribution points.

Disinfection with chlorine after cleaning surfaces, to prevent the spread of disease in a hospital setting (nosocomial diseases).

HOWEVER,

for logistical reasons, the accessibility and quality of chlorine is often not guaranteed in remote areas.

Our solution:

 

PRODUCE CHLORINE LOCALLY, SIMPLY, AND SUSTAINABLY WITH

WATER,

SALT,

AND SUN.

With basic and inexpensive supplies available everywhere: clear water and kitchen salt, the WATA technology makes it possible to produce active chlorine at a concentration of 5 g/L even in the most remote areas.

OUR CUSTOMERS

Drinking water supply

Chlorine injection into water supply networks aims to ensure that water is drinkable up to the most critical distribution point.
We offer you turnkey solutions to produce your chlorine locally and inject it into your rural and suburban networks.

HOSPITAL HYGIENE

WATA can be used for the decentralized production of surface disinfectant. It contributes to strengthening hospital hygiene and limiting the transmission of nosocomial diseases. Our solar powered system is particularly suitable for remote areas.

COVID-19

WATA can be used for the decentralized production of surface disinfectant. It contributes to strengthening hospital hygiene and limiting the transmission of nosocomial diseases. Coronaviruses can remain active for up to nine days on a surface, whereas these types of viruses are eliminated in a single minute with our chlorine.
WATA devices allow the local production of chlorine even in the most remote areas.

Humanitarian emergencies

The WATA devices are very simple to use and this makes them particularly suitable for humanitarian responses. For example, they can be used to make water safe to drink in camps for displaced persons.
