The Up-Welling solution in a few words :
Our technology, feed by a renewable energy, avoids the pitfall of pumps running on electricity, which affects economically the price per m3 of drinking water, making it inaccessible to populations in emerging countries.
The treatment of polluted water is today at the top of the global list of problematic for health

The founder
It was during a heated discussion about the water shortage in Cape Province, South Africa, that the idea for the Up-Welling project was born 3 years ago.
The founder, Armand WAN-HOI, have since had only one goal: to bring this project to life.
The latter responds to a fundamental problem everywhere on the planet: providing the populations of developing countries with clean water for consumption where the stream are mostly polluted.
Our first step consisted in making a first prototype of a pump operating without electricity.
This challenge was great because no fully autonomous and automatic water lifting machine had ever existed before.
With the exception of course of the ram pump of the Montgolfier brothers!
However, the yield of our patented pump Up-Welling proves to be much better than the performance of our illustrious predecessors.
In 2019, we were able to conclusive trials with La Créole, the water and sanitation authority operating in the west of Reunion Island, to treat wastewater for the benefit of irrigation.
Today, our goal is to meet decision-makers and ONG from the Indian Ocean, Asia and Africa who face water-related issues and diseases on a daily basis.
Our ambition for the future: Support and provide our expertise by implementing our technology to enable the distribution of perfectly drinkable water to populations in emerging countries.
Presentation of our technical solution
An automatic system ensures the alternation of the flow of the pressure column, on either side of the faces of a large motor cylinder, the sliding of which will mechanically cause pressure multiplier cylinders.
This pressure, multiplied with no other energy than that of water , is directed to an ultrafiltration or membrane nanofiltration plant.
The polluted primary water then becomes perfectly drinkable, without any energy cost penalizing the end consumer.
Such a machine for solving the problems of water supply comes at the right time in these times of climate change, causing droughts which can themselves lead to movements of populations outside the arid zones, and create serious political problems.
There are certainly hundreds of thousands of cities or towns around the world that could benefit from Up-Welling technology.
