The installed system is a smaller version of the robust Pall
Aria membrane systems used in municipal water treatment plants
around the world. It draws up to 22 gallons of river water per
minute, filtering out harmful bacteria and pathogens, including
cholera and Giardia.
“Clean water is basic and fundamental for human health,” said
Jennifer Musa, Biology professor at SUNY Broome and co-instructor
of the Health for Haiti program. “It’s easy for those of us who
enjoy clean water every day to take it for granted, but there are
many in our global community who do not have access to safe water.
This collaboration has enabled us to provide a community in Haiti
with access to clean, safe water. Not only has it benefited
the people in Haiti, it has also provided a life-changing
experience for our students.”
Haiti is the Western Hemisphere’s poorest nation. SUNY Broome’s
Health for Haiti program is a comprehensive, multi-faceted
undertaking involving multiple partners which includes
corporations, local companies, and area residents willing to donate
their time, skill, and funds.
“The launch of this Pall Aria system in Haiti is an extremely
significant achievement,” said Jodi Tate, Vice President of
Operations, Pall Process Systems. “Pall is honored to join the SUNY
Broome team in providing a solution which enables the people of
Grande-Saline to meet a very basic, yet very critical, human need.
We are pleased to share our resources and skills to support a
life-improving initiative such as this, and are thankful that our
channel partners have contributed to this great cause as well."
The Health for Haiti program also supports three new computer
schools which give Haitians access to and training in technology.
In addition to the Pall Aria water system, Pall has donated 30
laptops for use in these schools.
