Malaysia is vulnerable to flooding during the monsoon season. To address this issue, experts at UTM have designed a portable Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. This innovation uses ultrafiltration (UF) and RO membranes to convert different types of water sources into safe drinking water. It offers a top-tier solution for addressing water requirements during emergencies.
Due to the high risk of flooding during the monsoon season in Malaysia, a constant supply of treated clean water is required in the event of a natural disaster or other disruptions.
UTM membrane experts developed this portable RO water treatment system that uses ultrafiltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) membranes to produce drinking water from various sources.
Due to Malaysia's vulnerability to flooding during the monsoon season, UTM membrane experts have devised a revolutionary solution: a portable Reverse Osmosis (RO) water treatment system. This innovation employs ultrafiltration (UF) and RO membranes to convert various water sources into potable drinking water. Offering reliability, adaptability, and chemical-free operation, the system operates on both electricity and portable generators, ensuring continuous operation even in areas with limited power infrastructure. As the sole mobile RO water system in Malaysia, it enjoys a unique position with minimal direct competition, solidifying its status as a premier solution for addressing water needs during crises.
This system is reliable, adaptable to a variety of water sources, powered by two different energy sources (electric and portable generator), and is chemical-free.
