Implementing Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic membrane filters to provide safe drinking water to local communities in Uganda

Location: Mbale, Uganda

Ovivo worked together with the SeeeMe Non-Profit Organization to provide a local school community with a functioning water filter and pump. Ovivo used a Cembrane SiC filter which works to remove all bacteria from the drinking water down to a pore size of 0,1 µm. This will remove the majority of bacteria found in the water. In addition to providing the technology for improved water quality standards, Ovivo’s team helped with reading assessments and the construction of latrines for the school.
