On June 28, 2024, the containerized seawater desalination equipment for Kiribati is shipped from Changshu Port of Jiangsu province, China. The equipment is designed and manufactured by Fenghai to help alleviate water shortages in Kiribati's capital, South Tarawa.


 
At present, South Tarawa, the capital of Kiribati, mainly relies on groundwater recharge for domestic water. However, the prolonged La Nina phenomenon and dry weather have triggered severe groundwater shortages, and Kiribati is facing a severe water shortage crisis. Fenghai's desalination equipment uses the local natural seawater resources to produce 250 tons of fresh water per day so as to meet the daily water needs of nearly 2,000 people.

At the Singapore International Water Week held this month, an officer from Kiribati Public Utilities Board (PUB) showed a geat interest in Fenghai’s new energy desalination equipment, and specially stopped to exchange views and learn more about the core technology and professional capabilities of Fenghai. He believes the equipment is particularly suitable for Kiribati, which is in short supply of fresh water resources. After realizing that the desalination equipment granted by the Chinese government is from Fenghai company, he is full of confidence in the project, saying that Kiribati urgently needs this equipment and looks forward to the completion and operation of this project.  



Fenghai's containerized seawater desalination equipment is characterized by short manufacturing cycle, high integration, easy transportation, high efficiency and stability, fast assembly, and easy maintenance. As a modular intelligent "water supply station", it can solve the desperate needs of Kiribati people. Fenghai technology is applied in the Pacific island countries for the first time, which marks the further expansion of the company's overseas business layout, and is another vivid practice of the mission of state-owned enterprises and responding to the country's "Belt and Road" initiative! In the next step, Fenghai will do a good job in on-site commissioning, training and other technical services to provide the people of Kiribati with access to safe drinking water as soon as possible, and escort the stable operation of the project.
