Meunier Technologies and Veolia Water Technologies Canada Collaborating for the First Nations Communities
Providing Reliable and Compact Chemical Dosing Systems for Water Supply in Remote Areas
Meunier Technologies, manufacturer of the patented DICE™ dosing equipment, is proud of the work done in collaboration with Veolia Water Technologies Canada by supplying its chemical feed equipment to the First Nation Operators on behalf of the Circuit Rider Training Program (CRTP), a program that provides training and mentoring services to operators of First Nations’ drinking water and wastewater systems (water operators) and therefore making an effort to address the challenges of installing chemical dosing systems dedicated to water supply in remote areas.
Let’s dive into the challenges associated with these types of applications, the best solution, key points of the testimonial of Stephen, whom we worked with at Veolia to make this possible and a quick overview of how Meunier Technologies can be a key player to help you provide reliable and compact chemical dosing systems for water supply in remote areas.
Challenges to Get Chemical Dosing Systems for Clean Water in Remote Areas
Access to clean drinking water is a delicate subject, especially when it comes to remote areas. Among other factors, it is mainly caused by inadequate infrastructure and limited resources to operate and maintain water and wastewater systems. A big part of the issue is directly linked to the complicated transportation and shipping for water supply equipment. Sadly, it often arrives broken and requires maintenance from a technician with specific expertise that has to go on-site to make sure it is safe and operates adequately.
All of this leads to more delays, higher shipping costs and additional maintenance costs, making it truly challenging to install chemical dosing systems for water treatment in rural locations.
The Solution for Dosing Chemical in Remote Water Treatment Plants
A safer solution for these water distribution systems would be a machined, all-in-one, standard chemical dosing system that has no glued nor welded connections and can be installed without the need for specific tools or expertise. This is where the DICE™ Module comes in: an innovative solution that integrates all the traditional system components in a compact block, requiring half of the footprint and packaged in a well-secured box, reducing all the shipping, handling and maintenance costs previously listed.
Key Points of Stephen’s Testimonial
”Meunier Technologies has provided us accurate and reliable chemical dosing systems in remote locations. These systems supply potable water to small communities located in British Columbia (Canada).“
Compact System in a Box
”The installations being in remote locations, we were in need for a compact and reliable solution that could be installed directly on site. Shipping a large traditional chemical dosing system was an inadequate solution for us. Meunier Technologies quickly took charge of us and within days an order was placed and the DICE™ units were on their way.“
Ease of Installation
”Installation was performed without the need of any specific techniques, tools or training. Within forty five minutes the DICE™ had been installed and chemical was starting to be introduced in the process.“
High-Impact Project for Drinking Water Applications in Remote Areas
Meunier Technologies’ strength is to be there for its clients and come up with solutions to make each project a success.
This successful collaboration with Veolia Water Technologies Canada was driven by the common desire to provide the best solution possible to ensure a much easier and safer solution for the water treatment remote installations in the First Nation communities. Lowering shipping, installation and maintenance costs on the chemical dosing equipment leaves more room to improve other key aspects of the water distribution systems.
Our DICE™ products are readily available in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, and Australia through our trusted distributor network and on our online Shop. We usually offer a 3-4 week lead time and can be as fast as 48 hours for urgent requests. Thanks to our high inventory, which includes preassembled DICE™ Modules and flat prepackaged DICE™ Panels ready to ship. Fully integrated DICE™ Systems are now available as well.
