Ottawa, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – August 29, 2024) – BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM) (“BluMetric” or “the Company“), a comprehensive environmental consulting and engineering cleantech firm, disclosed today that it has reached an agreement to provide a permanent installation for a turnkey water pre-treatment and purification system to a remote First Nations community in British Columbia.
The contract, valued at $830,000, marks BluMetric’s inaugural fixed system in a remote community, addressing the critical need for clean drinking water. The installation will consist of a complete Mission Ready Water solution, encompassing a potable drinking water pre-treatment and purification system with a capacity of 199 m3 per day, system commissioning, and operator training.
“We are pleased to contribute to ensuring access to safe and reliable drinking water for First Nations communities,” stated Scott MacFabe, CEO of BluMetric. “Our previous successes with agile units in collaboration with the Canadian military have prepared us for this venture into fixed installations for remote populations. We are enthusiastic about assisting other remote communities in need of this essential resource. We believe that decentralized water treatment will continue to be a growing trend as we reinforce our infrastructure.”
BluMetric has capitalized on its proven track record of deploying over 50 similar systems to the Canadian Armed Forces, which have been utilized in challenging land and sea environments globally.
The Mission Ready Water solution distinguishes itself by reducing the system operator’s hands-on time, enabling remote support, incorporating design features like a self-cleaning filtration system to minimize consumables, and offering modularity for cost-effective capacity expansion. These aspects contribute to increased uptime, thereby preventing the water boil advisories commonly experienced by remote communities today.
The system is slated for delivery and commissioning in the fiscal year 2025.
