Second Appearance: Kärcher Futuretech with Presence at the BRIDEX Exhibition in Brunei
Winnenden, October 2009 – For the second time after 2007, Kärcher Futuretech has participated at the "Brunei Darussalam International Defence Exhibition and Forum", short BRIDEX, presenting solutions in the area of mobile water purification, field camp systems and NBC protection systems.
Kärcher Futuretech has been present on the BRIDEX Exhibition in August 2009 displaying various products from their wide product range. The focus was on the following three categories which had been already established with a significant market presence on the Asian and Australian continent:

Mobile Water Purification
The Australia Defence Forces have already been purifying their water using systems of the KÄRCHER Futuretech Waterclean range since 2000 following a peacekeeping mission in the south east Asia insular state of East Timor. After completing the mission in East Timor, the Waterclean 1600G systems returned to the Australian continent and have meanwhile been handed over to the Australian Air Force. Other products for drinking water supply that are highly requested are the Water Bottling Plant 700 or the Water Packaging System 1600.
The disastrous events (e.g. Tsunami 2004) in South East Asia have shown impressively that drinking water is a good of particular importance. When it is no longer available due to a catastrophe or a terrorist attack this will have a catastrophic effect on the survivability of the concerned people and animals. In this case, KÄRCHER Futuretech used especially the WTC 500 RO drinking water purification system. The system has the exact dimensions of a Euro pallet and a weight of less than 200 kg including all parts needed for operation.
Such a compact unit produces up to 15,000 l drinking water per day – even from sea water. This is sufficient to supply up to 1,500 people per day with clean, safe drinking water. KÄRCHER technicians were on site in the area of Banda Aceh to put the donated systems into operation together with their partners, and to train the task forces on site so that they can use the systems efficiently.
The systems could be transported to the needy on site without any special measures using the smallest vehicles or helicopters.
On the Maldives, the systems were mounted on boats. This way, it was possible to take the water directly from the sea close to every island in order to produce drinking water, and the task forces were able to supply the numerous small islands effectively with drinking water.
Field Camp Systems: Mobile Field Unit
Products from KÄRCHER Futuretech such as the field laundry (TFL), sanitary trailer (TRST) and a specially configured modular kitchen (MFK) had already been introduced in the “Singapore Armed Forces” (SAF) five years ago, and there are plans to procure new systems in the near future.
NBC-Protection Systems:
In the last months, an increased demand for high-performance decontamination systems has been noticed. The Oman Sultanate’s Ministry of Defence ordered two systems of DECOCONTAIN which will be transported on MAN carrier vehicles (6x6). The DECOCONTAIN 3000 GDS is used for the simultaneous decontamination of vehicles, persons, equipment and road sections, and stands out due to its compact design and immediate readiness for operation. In addition, Oman’s Armed Forces will dispose of a defence stock of decontamination agents. Here, they rely on a new family of highly effective NBC decontamination agents: the nuclear RDS 2000 decontamination agent, the BDS 2000 biological decontaminant agent system, and the non-aqueous GDS 2000 decontamination agent are their first choice.
Dirk Waldow, Kärcher Futuretech Area Sales Manager for the Asian-Pacific region, welcomed major delegations from Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines. The restless manager noted also a high interest from the Sultanate of Brunei. “Many quality meetings with high-rank delegations at a very professional exhibition,” Dirk Waldow returned home with a lot of new contacts for further business.
