이스라엘 외교부가 섬의 심각한 물 부족을 해결하기 위해 태평양 Marshall 섬에 트럭에 탑재된 담수화 시설을 공급하고 있다.

 
이 담수화 트럭은 이스라엘의 정수 회사인 GAL Water Technologies가 만들었다. Hadera 기반의 GAL사는 현지 직원이 새 시스템을 작동할 수 있도록 교육하기 위해 Marshall 섬에 곧 전문가 팀을 보낼 계획이다.

이동식 수처리 시스템은 멀리 떨어진 지역에서의 지속적인 비상 대응 및 복구를 위해 설계되었다. 또한, 이 시스템은 세계보건기구(WHO)의 기준을 충족하는 강, 해양, 염수, 우물 등 식수를 생산하기 위한 어떠한 수자원이라도 연결할 수 있다.

 

 

 

Israel's ministry of foreign affairs is supplying a truck-mounted desalination facility to the Marshall islands in the Pacific ocean to help tackle the islands' severe water shortage.

 

The desalination vehicle was made by Israeli water purification company, GAL Water Technologies. Hadera-based GAL will soon be sending a team of experts to the Marshall Islands to help train local staff to operate the new system.

 

The mobile water treatment system is designed for sustained emergency response and recovery in remote communities. The system can connect to any water source, including rivers, oceans, brackish water, and wells to produce drinking water that meets World Health Organization standards according to GAL.

 

The mobile desalination facility is joined by US$150,000 in other water-related support according to a statement by the ministry.

 

ㆍAt the end of last year energy-efficient, small-scale desalination specialist Spectra Watemarkers, provided a permanent solar and wind-powered desalination plant on the remote atoll of Kili in the Marshall Islands. The facility is now operational and is the region's second facility. Contractor, Moana Marine LLC installed the two Spectra LB-2800 reverse osmosis (RO) desalination systems, which convert seawater into over 28 Ml/d of fresh, EPA-approved drinking water. Before the installation, Kili's 1,200 residents suffered not only from drought but from polluted groundwater, which had to be boiled before drinking. The energy efficiency of the desalination system, makes it possible to power it by wind and solar power. Moreover, it overcomes the unreliability of fuel supplies due to seasonal rough seas.
