Japanese firm to offer inverter to PPWSA’s water plant

Japan-based company Metawater will provide its power-saving inverter equipment to a water treatment plant operated by Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) through an arrangement that will help the Japanese government earn carbon reduction credits, according to a Nikkei Asian Review report. The inverter equipment, which controls water-pumping rates to match demand fluctuations, will be installed at the Phum Prek treatment plant with a daily processing capacity of 150,000 tonnes. Metawater hopes that its power-saving system will translate to a 400 tonne reduction in annual carbon emissions from power plants burning fossil fuels. However, PPWSA general direct Sim Sitha said he had not yet received any information about the provision. (Source: Khmer Times)
