Who
are you ?
We are a small group of people whose target is to
promote the use of renewable energies, basically
in third world countries. Our members,
engineers, teachers and technicians with
different backgrounds, some having retired from
their official positions, are available to take
care of developments or for voluntary missions.
The name of our association is H2O Energies.
Most of us have also worked for more than 10
years with REDI S.A., the Institute for the
Development of Renewable Energies.
What are we doing ?
The problem of the drinking water in the world is
becoming crucial and we have developed a
filtering and purify system water on the site of
the river Arve near Geneva, The Arve is a
fluctuating river which flows from the Mt Blanc
glacier. It carries fine silt and bacterial
pollution from the neighbouring towns. Thanks to
our knowledge of water processing, to
ex-collaborators of the Geneva Water Company, to
the facilities made available by this company
(research and test labs), we have developed a
water filtering system capable of processing
20.000 litres of drinking water per day,
normally sufficient to meet the needs of about
1.000 people. This filter system can be
regenerated by counter-flow washing. It is built
so as to make its use extremely simple. It is
entirely made of stainless steel. The UV
disinfection device makes it possible to provide
bacteriologically safe drinking water meeting
with the strict norms laid down by the Swiss
government. Official tests and analyses have
proven the efficiency of the system. It is meant
to be installed in developing countries.
What have we achieved so far ?
Looking back to past history allows us to
see that we have taken part in important
initiatives for the IRCC and HCR in Croatia and
Tchetchnia, with the François Xavier Bagnou
Association in Myanmar, and in North Korea for
the DDC. We have also been active in Haïti.
What are we looking for ?
We are seeking a partnership with
organisations active in water processing as well
as with developing countries, capable of
installing the water filtering and purifying
system that we have developed. This equipment is
designed to be installed in dispensaries, small
hospitals, schooling centers, i.e. in facilities
that can ensure their maintenance through a
responsible person.
