Rainmaker Worldwide and Bredenoord Deliver Mission-Critical
Water Supply Technology for Dutch Military Bases
SOESTERBERG, The Netherlands
-- June
12, 2018 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- Rainmaker Worldwide
(USOTC:
RAKR), working with its partner, Bredenoord has delivered its
innovative MD Water Power unit
to Fieldlab
Smartbase 1.0 for the Dutch Ministry of Defense.
The smart base was officially
opened by his Majesty King Willem-Alexander, the King of the
Netherlands.
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, it is essential to
minimize supply lines and reduce 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 has been successfully
combined with
Bredenoord's state-of-the-art military-grade generators in a
containerized plug-and-play solution that
delivers both clean drinking water and reliable
electricity.
The unit reduces the cost of
fresh drinking water, is highly efficient, mobile and ideally
suited for areas where there is little or no
infrastructure.
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
25,000
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.
"A military context puts high
demands on product functionality," said Joost
Oosterling,
Managing Director, Europe for Rainmaker. "Your innovation
must work in the desert at over 40 degrees, or in the freezing
cold at minus ten."
Army commander
Luitenant-Kolonel
Erwin
Leidelmeijer said, "We offer a robust experimental
environment: the innovations must be soldier-proof, so we practice
and test them in a static environment at the barracks in
Soesterberg. At Smart Base, civil products are
tested for military applications, while the
military specifications are maintained."
Michiel Pols of
the Netherlands'
InnovationQuarter said, "The Dutch armed forces have a
good reputation abroad. You can count on NATO watching what is
happening here. If the Dutch armed forces purchase the innovations,
then the gate will open to the rest of the
world."
Michael O'Connor, President and
CEO of Rainmaker Worldwide said, "We are exceptionally
pleased to
have delivered this innovative
application of Rainmaker's Water-to-Water
technology to the Smartbase Project in
Amersfoort, Netherlands. We look forward to
collaborating closely with the teams at Bredenoord and the Dutch
military during the comprehensive
testing period.
We are very encouraged by
the early results
and confident that new opportunities
will follow in the
short term to work 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."
