LEDI portable desalination unit producing safe drinking water

Disaster Relief

Critical water, anywhere.
When infrastructure fails, water becomes the first weak link. Portable desalination gives responders a reliable fresh supply without relying on damaged pipelines, bottled water drops, or inaccessible logistics.

"Since 2022 LEDI have been providing rugged, user friendly and reliable desalination systems to TEMO. The solutions they've provide are specifically built to survive disaster zones: fast deployment, no installation, solar, battery, generator powered, and tough enough for our field operators. The emergency water resilience project has been nominated for multiple awards. We were finalists for the NZ water excellence awards and one the 2025 ALGIM project of the year"

Deployable water solutions

Engineered for rapid field operations
LEDI builds modular, portable water systems designed for fast deployment in challenging environments. No fixed infrastructure required — simply position, power, and produce clean water.

“LEDI’s deployable water systems have become essential to our field operations. The veteran engineered design shows in every detail. Setup is fast, training is minimal, and reliability is consistent in environments that punish lesser equipment. We have used LEDI systems for small forward teams and larger field bases, and the result is always the same. Safe, dependable water without relying on external supply lines. That level of independence changes how we plan and operate.”

Permanent systems

Long-term water security for fixed sites
LEDI designs permanent desalination and purification systems for sites that cannot afford interruptions. Built for continuous operation, straightforward servicing, and dependable output in remote or harsh locations.

"As an off grid, island resort we've spent years relying on a mix of tank and limited bore water. Water is one of our highest operational risks. LEDI recommended a permanent installation package built around one of their off the shelf systems. The setup was straightforward and far cheaper than any other seawater capable options. They were also happy to sit down and talk through funding/ potential lease options. For an off grid resort, that level of control over water supply changes everything."

Fully portable solutions

Water capability that moves with your team.
LEDI’s portable platforms deliver clean water without the need for fixed infrastructure. Built for mobility, rapid setup, and dependable output, they support teams working from vehicles, vessels, and temporary field locations.

“We approached LEDI seeking a water purification and desalination capability that could be cached at disaster sites. LEDI designed and delivered 21 portable systems built into army trunks, each capable of producing around 90 l/h from seawater and roughly 150 l/h from fresh sources. Every unit includes UV, reverse osmosis, and operating sequence printed directly on the lid. For disaster response caching and rapid activation, this capability gives us a level of readiness we did not have before.”
