Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 29, 2024) - BluMetric Environmental Inc. (TSXV: BLM) ("BluMetric" or "the Company"), a full-service environmental consulting and engineering cleantech firm, announced today that it has signed an agreement to supply 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, is BluMetric's first fixed system in a remote community, addressing the essential need for clean drinking water consumption. BluMetric will provide a complete Mission Ready Water solution including a potable drinking water pre-treatment and purification system with a capacity of 199 m3 per day, system commissioning, and operator training.
"We are excited to play our part in ensuring First Nations communities have access to safe and reliable drinking water," said Scott MacFabe, CEO of BluMetric. "Historically, we have had great success deploying agile units with the Canadian military and this will be our first foray into a fixed installation for a remote population. We look forward to helping other remote communities without access to this essential resource. Our belief is that decentralized water treatment will continue to be a growing trend as we build more resilient infrastructure."
BluMetric has leveraged its proven capabilities delivering over 50 similar systems to the Canadian Armed Forces that have been deployed worldwide in demanding land and sea applications.
The Mission Ready Water solution also stands out by minimizing the operator's hands-on time for the system, ability to remotely support the unit, design elements such as a self-cleaning filtration system allowing for decreased consumables, and modularity resulting in cost-effective capacity expansion. All these features contribute to higher uptime which avoids the water boil bans experienced by remote communities today.
The system is expected to be delivered and commissioned in fiscal year 2025.
