The Concorde-Corodex Group, the Middle East's leading water treatment company, held a seminar here to educate industry professionals and key consultants on the potential crisis in clean water, in light of increasing regional populations and the boom in real estate development.
At the seminar, experts demonstrated how Concorde-Corodoxe Group's technology allowed domestic sewage to be treated and safely reused for industrial application. The technology is currently being applied by the group throughout the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. As well as being more efficient, it is proven to be more economical than standard water purification processes.
Mohanned Awad, Business Development Director, gave a background of Concorde-Corodex and its role in providing solutions in the water technology sector over the last few decades. He also explained the recent developments in the technology of water purification and waste water treatment, with extensive research on the regional market demands.
Ahmed Al Shuha, Senior Technical Manager for Concorde-Corodex, commented: "Demand is growing for new technologies to facilitate the water purification process. The Middle East is considered an arid zone with almost negligible natural fresh water resources, which have recently reached crisis levels. For the first time in history, the portable water and water treatment industries in the Middle East are under pressure to increase their efficiency."
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set guidelines for drinking water which vary from country to country, which are revised regularly. Continuous global research investigating the effect of every single water contaminant on health means that water purification is always under scrutiny, he said
