Grundfos & eKutir launch Unique Mobile Water Purification System in BBSR

Grundfos and eKutir launched their unique mobile water purification in Bhubaneshwar on Tuesday. This first-of- a-kind system was inaugurated by the Law and Panchayat Raj Minister, Arun Kumar Sahoo.

The mobile water purification unit based on solutions from Grundfos Lifelink, comprises of a pre treatment unit, AQpure will travel to certain identified rural pockets near Bhubaneshwar to treat the surface water / bore well water and convert it into safe and clean drinking water.

It can apply to small or large water schemes, be it in rural or urban settings, for water utilities, NGOs and community based organizations.

It’s a result of years of field studies and research grasping how to solve the fundamental challenges in water projects: issues of collecting revenues, access to service and maintenance, lack of transparency and inefficiencies in water service management or sheer lack of electric power to transport water.
