That's Some Quality H₂0-a Feel Good Story

By Jeff Elrod | May 08, 2024

WAPIs for the World, a non-profit company, approached us seeking cartridge heaters for their manufacturing process, which involved building a water purification capsule. This capsule consists of a specially formulated wax enclosed in a tube, designed to melt at a specific temperature, thereby purifying water by eliminating harmful substances. The end-use product is not sold but rather donated and distributed to missionaries, traveling medical personnel, and people living in areas with inadequate access to clean drinking water. The capsules expedite the purification process, consume less fuel, and can be reused multiple times. 

TUTCO cartridge heaters can be modified to meet the demands of special applications like this one. Our engineers utilized a variety of alternative features and options to customize the heater to meet the needs of this unique application. We not only developed a custom cartridge heater to meet the company’s specific requirements but also decided to donate the heaters to support the company’s noble mission.
