WAQUA Compact Seawater Desalination System | Securing Domestic Water for Disaster BCP, Fishing Industries, and Civil Engineering Sites

To meet the strong demand to "secure water" in disaster situations, fishing, civil engineering/construction sites, and outdoor activities, we propose our compact and lightweight seawater and river water desalination systems. We have established a system to globally supply these Japan-quality devices through our three ASEAN bases and international partner networks. The Urgent Challenge of "Securing Water" at Disaster, Fishing, and Civil Engineering Sites During fishing and civil engineering/construction operations, or in times of disaster, the supply of domestic and operational water becomes critically tight. Conventional water generation systems are large, heavy, and inefficient, making them unsuitable for on-site operations.Balancing a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity is a key technical challenge.●Situations where the issue surfaces: The need for improvement in existing products; social backgrounds marked by frequent disasters and water resource scarcity.●Main impacts: Suspension of on-site operations, shortage of domestic water at evacuation centers, and operational constraints in fishing and on remote islands. Why Conventional Systems Fail: The Barriers of Bulkiness, Heavy Weight, and Low Efficiency Conventional systems have failed to balance a compact, lightweight design with high water-generation capacity, largely due to constraints in equipment specifications and dimensions.●Specific evidence: Analysis of existing products. Countermeasures Attempted Thus Far and Their Limitations Repurposing general-purpose RO systems (bulky, high power requirements), stockpiling bottled water (temporary, high cost).Based on these limitations, we adopted the following approach as a more radical solution. Solution Approach: Optimizing Membrane, Piping, and Pump Configuration Specs × On-site Verification × Overseas Partner Network Achieving both a compact, lightweight design and high water-generation capacity through the optimization of formulations and specifications (reviewing blending ratios, thickness, and configuration). STEP. 01 Specification Optimization Optimal layout and configuration for membrane, piping, and pump structures STEP. 02 On-site Verification Verifying water generation volume and durability using seawater and river water STEP. 03 Overseas Partnership Supplying to the Africa and Middle East regions through our overseas bases and partner networks Fuji Chemi Trading's Supply & Support System: Japan HQ × ASEAN Bases × Overseas Partnerships This solution is powered by a clear division of roles among multiple bases.・Headquarters / Domestic Sales: Project promotion and primary inquiry desk・Overseas Bases (China, Thailand, Vietnam): ASEAN expansion・Overseas Partner Trading Companies: Supply to the Africa and Middle East regions・Partner Manufacturers: Equipment manufacturing and customization●Supply System: Product manufacturing (Partner Manufacturers) → Local delivery via overseas bases and partnerships. Results and Benefits of Implementation Successfully secured domestic water at sea and on civil engineering/construction sites, achieving improvements in both functionality and performance.●KPI Candidates: Water generation volume / Equipment weight & dimensions / Portability / Power consumption.●Implementation Lead Time: Deployed to on-site operations after repeated prototype evaluations. Anticipated Ripple Effects and Horizontal Expansion The benefits of implementing this solution extend far beyond solving the primary challenge. It can also be utilized as compelling material for internal and executive-level proposals.・Expansion into the disaster BCP market (local governments, evacuation centers, disaster prevention stockpiles)・Horizontal deployment into leisure markets such as outdoors, marine vessels, and motorhomes・Participation in water infrastructure ODA (Official Development Assistance) projects in the Africa and Middle East regions・PR benefits tied to UN SDGs Goal 6 under the theme of "Securing Water" How We Differentiate: Why Fuji Chemi Trading is the Partner of Choice Direct sales from equipment manufacturers often lack strong local expansion capabilities overseas.
