Business Wire
Fluence Corporation Limited (ASX:FLC) is pleased to announce
that it has executed the first order of its NIROBOX™ Smart Packaged
desalination solution in the USA. The NIROBOX SW XL will be
delivered to the Laguna Development Corporation (LDC) and will be
located on the Laguna Pueblo near Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The seawater desalination unit will treat brine produced by an
existing Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit and produce potable water for
consumption by the LDC business entities near Rio Puerco on Laguna
Pueblo Lands. The unit is designed to treat up to 250,000 gallons
per day and includes a one-year process performance guarantee. The
order was secured in collaboration with Fluence local New Mexico
representative, Watergy CE, and Tierra West Engineering, who will
be responsible for the site’s civil works design and local
certifications.
This initial order will serve as a pilot for the intended growth
of the NIROBOXTM product in the USA and to provide drinking water
to LDC as it looks to further develop the eastern portion of the
reservation of the Pueblo of Laguna. Additionally, the NIROBOX™
technology has direct application to hundreds of smaller
communities across the Southwest that have limited fresh water
supplies, but often access to extensive brackish ground water
resources.
Commenting on the agreement, Fluence Managing Director & CEO
Henry Charrabé said: “This project is an innovative example of
desalination in the desert and the NIROBOX’s ability to produce
potable water from any source in any setting. NIROBOX™ proves to be
applicable in many versatile conditions and combined
with Fluence’s ability to offer flexible project finance, this
solution is ideal for many customers in the USA and around the
world. We look forward to demonstrating NIROBOX’s value proposition
to US customers through its low upfront cost, speed of setup and
installation, low power consumption and ease of operation and
maintenance.”
LDC’s President and CEO, Jerry Smith, commented, “This NIROBOX
SW, which will produce potable water from the reject brine of our
existing water treatment plant, will ‘close the loop’ and allow us
to maximize the utility of our water resources at our casino
facility on the Pueblo. The solution, when applied on a large
scale, would be a game changer for our future development on the
eastern reservation of the Pueblo.”
