Cement Factory, Albania

The owners of the factory contacted us after tests revealed bacterial contamination of the drinking water supply. They immediately suspended the water distribution and put in place a temporary alternative whilst they sought a sustainable solution. They contacted us at Portsmouth Aqua to see if we could help. We learnt that the factory had over three hundred and fifty employees and an onsite borehole water supply that fed a vast distribution network across the site, serving offices, production areas, restaurants and residential buildings. Given that the factory’s purpose is cement production, we were anticipating some serious challenges with the levels and range of contamination in their borehole water. Analysis revealed that the water supply on heavily polluted site was indeed affected by manganese (a heavy metal) and biological contaminants. – coliforms and E. Coli. The laboratory report gave us the information that we needed to begin to design and configure a PaquaVida unit that would address all of the issues with the water. Within weeks the unit was assembled and tested at our site in Portsmouth, UK. We then put the PaquaVida unit together within a shipping container and transported by road to Albania.  Working closely with the team at the factory, we were able to have the PaquaVida unit up and running within a few days. Samples taken after testing and further analysis showed that the PaquaVida water purification unit was producing clean, wholesome drinking water much to the delight of the factory management and employees.
