Quest Water To Focus On New Business Development Strategy
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Quest Water Global, Inc. (QWTR) ("Quest" and/or "Quest Water" and or "Company"), an innovative water technology company, and developer of the solar-powered water purification and desalination technology AQUAtap™ and the WEPS™ Atmospheric Water Extraction and Purification System, announced today that the Company has launched a new business development strategy in response to emerging market opportunities and evolution of its business model and technology over the past year. After numerous and extensive negotiations in dealing directly with governments in developing nations, Quest Water has determined that its best approach is to attract local partners on the ground in these countries.
"Our new "Build, Own, Operate" business model allows us to collaborate and create new business partnerships with local investors and partners to establish self-serve water vending businesses, and micro-scale and full-scale water bottling facilities," said John Balanko, Quest Water CEO & President. "In addition, we can offer bulk water production for sale to residential communities, agriculture businesses, and manufacturing enterprises."
The new business strategy is actively being pursued with several local potential partners in the U.S., the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. The Company's AQUAtap™ installation in Angola provided Quest with much attention on the world stage. As a result, the Company attracted interest from individuals, corporations, NGO's (Non-Government Organizations) and governments in numerous countries worldwide. The Company's goal now is to secure partnerships or joint ventures with local investors and partners in the above mentioned target markets.
The Company's innovative water solutions have been re-engineered to streamline the water purification process, reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs, while at the same time increasing production. Over the past year, the freshwater AQUAtap™ system has been engineered to produce four times as much water than its original design. This freshwater system now has the capacity to produce 80,000 liters per day from a polluted fresh water source utilizing a more robust ultrafiltration membrane, pre-filters, and ultraviolet sterilization. The Company's new brackish and salt water systems have also been re-designed to provide a minimum of twice the production over the previous Reverse Osmosis systems.
"Water shortages, poor sanitation, and a lack of access to clean water sources continue to be a major global concern," said Peter Miele, Quest Water Global Co-Founder and Executive Vice President. "We believe by providing an alternative, sustainable source of pure water at a low cost and with the smallest environmental impact in decentralized, turnkey solutions is part of the answer to this growing global crisis.
