MIOX to Provide Water Disinfection Systems to Mexico

MIOX Corporation will provide 175 water systems equipped with disinfection technology to Chiapas, Mexico, in May 2010.

The FEMSA Foundation has been instrumental in delivering the on-site generation technology to the 28 municipalities in the Mexican state.

The easy-to-install equipment will use only salt, water and electricity to generate a dilute disinfectant on-site.

Each of the 175 systems will require up to 50kg of salt per month and the operation will be managed by trained personnel.

The solution also enables compliance with the millennium development goals while providing clean drinking water.

The goals are part of a larger framework led by the UN to reduce extreme poverty, hunger and disease by 2015.

The US-based MIOX Corporation offers solutions through its patented on-site water disinfection technology.

FEMSA Foundation is a social investment instrument that supports the conservation and sustainable use of water resources.
