Mobile Water Filtration and Delivery Systems

Brisben Water’s water filtration technology is designed to solve the most complex and intractable water problems, including toxic industrial spills, biological pathogens, and contamination caused by natural disasters from hurricanes to earthquakes. Following 9/11, this technology was the first of its kind to be tested and verified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for treating water contaminated from a terrorist attack.

Our Mobile Emergency Water Filtration System (MEFS) enabled us to be a first responder, delivering clean water to victims of Hurricane Katrina. MEFS has the ability to purify water at a rate of 50 gallons per minute.

Pierce Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Oshkosh Truck Corp., integrates and markets the Brisben Water mobile water filtration system with a specialty vehicle geared for disaster relief and emergency preparedness applications. Brisben Water is working with Pierce to deploy this solution to government agencies responsible for disaster relief, military applications, and the more than 8,500 U.S. community water systems required by the Bio-Terrorism and Preparedness Act (2002) to have backup water systems.

“When Brisben Water came to town with the water purification system…for the first time since Katrina's landfall we had a dependable source of drinking water. We were fighting for our lives and the water purification system was a comfort to us all.”
