MECO - A worldwide leader in water purification

 

Disaster Relief & Emergency

When disaster strikes, water is a critical commodity. Whether it's for hurricane relief efforts, floods, or other natural disasters, MECO has emergency response water treatment units that can be easily deployed to provide safe potable water to the surrounding population. MECO systems can treat virtually any contaminated source water and operate with an integral power source, eliminating the need for external power from a grid that may be inoperable.

Our expertise in this area has evolved from our experience with military water treatment. For example, the MECO Water Buffalo has been developed for Emergency Response scenarios and has been deployed with the United Nations for hurricane relief operations in Haiti, as well as other humanitarian missions. MECO water treatment systems for disaster relief allow the supporting agency to immediately start producing drinking water for the affected population regardless of the severity and destruction at the location.
