Following the shortage of hand sanitizer, Sirea deployed a disinfection and decontamination system called AURA (Antiseptic for Universal and Reliable Applications), which produces sodium hypochlorite through the electrolysis of a simple solution of water and salt. It can produce 8 liters of decontaminating solution in less than 4 hours, using solar energy or conventional power. This system is being deployed in Europe as part of water purification projects in Africa, particularly in Madagascar on behalf of UNICEF. It was designed to guarantee a minimum concentration corresponding to a universal antiseptic and is very compact and lightweight. Thanks to its solar-powered operation, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, reduces waste, and also limits the impact of supply transportation through local production. To learn more, click here.
