Puroflow Gets Canadian Order For Ultraviolet Water Purification Systems

Two new CN Marine icebreaking ferries are being fitted with advanced ultraviolet water purification systems that will provide pure potable water without the use of chlorine or other harsh, expensive chemicals.

Orders have been received by Puroflow Marine Corporation of Newport News, Va., to supply U/V water treatment systems for the two vehicle ferries under construction at Davie Shipbuilding Ltd. in Lauzon, Quebec. The first vessel, the MV Caribou, is scheduled for delivery in October this year.

The Puroflow water purification systems use high-intensity, ultraviolet light to disinfect water without any of the bad taste or odors of chemical-based systems. Moreover, the U/V process imparts no corrosive, irritating, or allergenic properties to the water being treated, and it eliminates the need to store expensive, potentially hazardous chemicals aboard the ship.
