Our Solutions
Integrated solutions for sustainable development
Water & Sanitation
Clean drinking water and wastewater treatment through containerized systems
Modular Solutions for Drinking Water and Sanitation
At the center of the "Water" component of the WNEA program are modular water treatment systems. These containerized units, based on state-of-the-art technologies such as Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO), are designed to provide rapid and reliable access to drinking water and sanitation solutions in various contexts.
The system range includes several models adapted to specific needs:
Containerized plug-and-play design enables rapid deployment and high mobility. Adapts to various water sources including brackish and seawater.
Used for humanitarian aid, rural development, and emergencies. Can integrate with SBR wastewater systems for complete sanitation.
Sustainable Agriculture
Improving food security through modern agricultural technology
The WNEA program integrates the expertise of key partners to support effective and sustainable agriculture. To ensure that improved access to water leads to better nutrition, the agricultural component is orchestrated through digital precision agriculture and ESG monitoring:
Digital Precision Agriculture
Advanced digital tools for precision agriculture. Through the use of satellite data, AI, and machine learning, precise yield forecasts, risk management, and cultivation planning are enabled, and farmers are trained in efficient resource use and climate-resistant practices.
ESG Monitoring and Sustainability
Monitoring the ecological sustainability of agricultural projects. Through the integration of ESG monitoring with AI and IoT, the CO₂ footprint of agricultural activities is evaluated and advice is provided for environmentally friendly practices and achieving NetZero goals.
Reliable Energy
Sustainable energy supply for communities and infrastructure
Power Supply and Generator Solutions
The program offers a comprehensive range of generators and power systems:
These containerized modular solutions complement WNEA's energy component by ensuring stable power supply in off-grid areas or those with unstable infrastructure.
