Many aspects in harmony
A reverse osmosis system is a proven method of providing clean water. It can remove contaminants from water, including lead, pesticides, fluoride, pharmaceuticals, arsenic, …etc. The subsidiary in the United Arab Emirates has partnered with a system integrator who equipped the reverse osmosis system with a control panel. This control panel includes various products from Phoenix Contact: PLC Logic, HMI, and all necessary plant monitoring alarms.
The reverse osmosis systems are now fully operational at three schools in Jordan: a private school for the deaf and two other schools under the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, the oldest educational institution in Jordan. The systems are purifying municipal water supplies and significantly improving the quality of life for students and staff The management of the schools expressed their gratitude, noting the positive impact on the health and learning environment of their students. This project not only benefits the school community but also serves as an inspiration for other businesses and communities to adopt responsible practices.
Phoenix Contact has launched a solid program for the corporate social responsibility. With small actions, we will have a great impact on society.
This aligns closely with our efforts to support the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6, which aims to ensure the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, and SDG 3, which promotes healthy lives and well-being for all ages. The reduction in plastic bottle usage due to this project will have a significant environmental impact. We hope this initiative inspires others to contribute to the betterment of local communities.
