Hungarian Military is Firm Believer in ZENON Technology

Published: 16 September 2004 y., Thursday
The Hungarian military's recent order for ZENON technology over the next two years reinforces the military's confidence in the company's systems to protect its troops from any form of water contamination. Hungary's military has been using ZENON's military drinking water units since 1998, including the Mini ROWPU (Manually-Transportable Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit) and the ADROWPU (Advanced Double Pass Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit). Since joining NATO in 1999, Hungary's Ground Forces put ZENON's military units to the test in places such as Kosovo, where its military formed part of the International Peace Implementation Force. Their satisfaction with the systems resulted in a breakthrough order for ZENON's Hungarian plant to supply additional ADROWPUs, Mini-ROWPUs and water bagging machines, with a total order value of approximately $11 million CAD. Unlike most water filtration installations, military relief operations are often deployed to locations with minimal to nonexistent municipal infrastructure; they can be deployed anywhere there's a need. In the majority of cases, military personnel aren't fully aware of the quality of the raw water source. Upon arrival at their destination, their equipment must be quickly mobilized, simple to operate, easy to support and most importantly provide a continuous supply of safe drinking water.
