• Company to provide 10 Mobile MaxPure™ solar units; Each portable solar unit can deliver 30,000 gallons of clean drinking water per day
PENNINGTON, NJ, August 9, 2007 -- WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corp., developer and marketer of proprietary high-power solar systems, today 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™ 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.
WorldWater & Solar Technologies Corporation is a full-service, international solar electric engineering and water management company with unique, high-powered and patented solar technology that provides solutions to a broad spectrum of the world's electricity and water supply problems.
