Dutch Military Chooses Rainmaker Worldwide
for Mission-Critical Military Base Water Supply
AMERSFOORT, THE NETHERLANDS -- November 2, 2017
-- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- The Dutch Ministry of Defense, has
chosen Rainmaker Worldwide, working in collaboration with its
partner, Bredenoord to provide water purification systems on
military bases in the field. Bredenoord and Rainmaker were invited
to join an innovative development program called Fieldlab Smartbase
1.0, which resulted in choosing the MD Water Power unit for
Mission-Critical Military Base Water Supply.
The Dutch military participates in multiple UN missions and has
served in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is currently active in a UN
peacekeeping mission in Mali to fight local terrorist
insurgents.
In these missions, the military learned that it is essential to
minimize supply lines and any local dependencies to increase troop
safety and maximize operational efficiency.
The MD Water Power Unit a purpose-built solution to military
specifications
Rainmaker's core Water-to-Water technology will be combined with
Bredenoord's state-of-the-art military-grade generators in a
purpose-built containerized solution, built by Bredenoord. Key
specification criteria of the MD Water Power Unit, include low
energy and maintenance requirements, reduced cost of water, fast
deployment, mobility and operational efficiency.
Replacing current reverse osmosis systems
The ultimate objective is to replace the current reverse osmosis
systems with Rainmaker-Bredenoord units. Each unit can provide up
to 25 m3 (25,000 liters) of pure drinking water and 35 kW of
electricity daily under all conditions without any power grid
connection.
This self-contained, low-maintenance solution is designed to be
suitable for global military deployments, NGOs and disaster relief
situations.
One of 16 companies chosen out of 800 submissions
The Dutch Ministry of Defence collaborated with various industry
and knowledge institutes under the Smart Industry Fieldlabs program
to invite companies to propose ideas that meet specific objectives
in the areas of energy, water, logistics and waste, and support and
services.
Over 800 companies submitted proposals. Just 16 were contracted
to participate.
Smart Industry Chairman, Ineke Dezentj Hamming said, "The
innovations we develop together are of great value to all people
who work in crisis situations or with large groups where safety and
deployability are vital."
Michael O'Connor, President and CEO of Rainmaker Worldwide said,
"We are exceptionally pleased to have been chosen for this critical
application of Rainmaker's Water-to-Water technology. We look
forward to collaborating closely with the teams at Bredenoord and
the Dutch military. We believe that meeting these stringent
specifications will open the door for further opportunities working
with both military and relief organizations where fast deployment
is necessary in dealing with the effects of catastrophes such as
hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters."
Maarten van den Heuvel, Divisional Manager Sales and Service at
Bredenoord said, "This product offers proven technology for
sustainable energy and water supply."
