MCALESTER – Choctaw Defense Manufacturing, a tribally- owned contractor offering services to government and commercial contractors worldwide, has contracted with ELW Global to build two Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units (ROWPU), which are designed to convert potentially hazardous water into drinking water in minutes.
The ELW ROWPU is a portable, trailer-mounted water purification unit that can be easily moved to different locations to help communities in need. The system removes particles from potentially hazardous water sources and purifies the water to World Health Organization (WHO) standards. The ROWPU can filter up to 630 gallons of clean drinking water from contaminated sources per hour. This makes it one of the largest single-axle water treatment trailers on the market.
ELW Global will ship the two units made by Choctaw Defense Manufacturing to the United States Misawa Air Base in Japan to filter surface and underground water stores for purification purposes in April. This system is also designed for domestic use to help convert potentially hazardous water to clean water during disaster response and emergency relief efforts.
“We’re excited to see the ROWPU systems we built to create better living conditions for people around the world,” said Janie Dillard, CEO of Choctaw Global, the parent company of Choctaw Defense Manufacturing. “There are so many places around the world, including Native American tribes in the U.S., that do not have access to clean, safe drinking and cooking water. This system can make a difference in how those individuals live and improve their lives dramatically.”
Through a partnership with ELW Global, Choctaw Defense Manufacturing can market the ELW ROWPU Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Units to other Native American Tribes, cities, states and disaster response organizations. Alongside the trailer mounted ROWPU, prototypes to build the ELW Global Diesel Field Kitchen and Trailer Mounted Desalination units have already begun.
