MECO - Water PurifiersMECO, a world leader in water purification, has been supplying water treatment systems to the US military and other forces around the world since the invasion of Iwo Jima. Today, the MECO Lightweight Water Purifier (the LWP) is deployed at several forward operating bases in central Baghdad, Iraq and Afghanistan, helping fight the war on terror. WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEMSAt MECO, water purification is our single focus and our one true passion. For more than 60 years, we've used our unique, in-depth understanding of water treatment for the benefit of users across a wide spectrum of applications. In addition to the military, MECO provides water purification systems to the biopharmaceutical and marine oil and gas industries. LIGHTWEIGHT WATER PURIFIERMECO's LWP is an unprecedented water purification system. A flexible, mobile system, the LWP provides military personnel farther forward deployed water production capability than has ever existed before. The LWP quickly turns seawater, brackish water and NBC contaminated water into freshwater, and a single soldier can set up and operate the LWP within 45 minutes. The LWP delivers water treatment assets on the ground for the soldier immediately, far forward, near the fight and in the heart of the action. Whether you have seawater, brackish water or NBC contaminated water, with MECO's lightweight water purifier you will always have clean water. WATER DECONTAMINATION EQUIPMENTThe MECO LWP can treat any type of water, even if it's been contaminated by nuclear, biological or chemical agents. The LWP can be used in support of contingencies engaged in low-intensity conflict, nation building, civil affairs actions, peacekeeping, and disaster relief operations. MOBILE WATER PURIFICATION SYSTEMSAs today's military operates through smaller and more mobile units, these lighter, more mobile systems will be critical in sustaining the water needs of these formations. Moreover, purifying water closer to the point of use is helpful in reducing the logistics footprint and lightens the demands on transportation assistance to complete long convoy runs. MECO: WORLDWIDE WATER PURIFICATION LEADERToday, MECO is an ISO 9001 company that can provide you with the broadest range of treatment and desalination solutions. Our process is an integral part of that. It's a disciplined system of checks and balances that guides us through your project from beginning to end. This ensures the thoroughness and documentation needed to meet the most stringent industry regulations. For more information on MECO or the lightweight water purifier, please visit our website.
