Jinasena (Pvt) Limited, one of the leading water management systems and solutions providers in Sri Lanka, is observing a growing demand for its water purification solutions as the country intensifies its battle against CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) which has been linked to contaminated or unfiltered water.
As a water management systems and solutions provider, Jinasena is able to provide solutions for Raw Water Treatment, Waste Water Treatment and Sewage Treatment. The company offers a range of products including Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants, chemical dosing pumps, aeration systems, UV sterilizers, water softeners, iron remove and purifiers together with services that include water filter services, water filter installations and water sample testing. The company carries out potable water sample testing for chemical and physical parameters through two Laboratories in Colombo and Anuradhapura. Both facilities provide full chemical and physical water testing using HATCH (USA) Laboratory equipment and reagents.
Jinasena has been carrying out installation of large water purification plants since 2005 in various parts of the island. Over the past 3 years alone, the company has successfully carried out over 60 water purification projects for a variety of organizations. A large number of these projects were water treatment plants in communities and villages affected by CKD in rural parts of the island, funded by local and foreign NGOs as part of their development programmes in the country. Similarly, several large Lankan corporates also funded similar water purification projects as part of their CSR programmeswhile projects have also been implemented in armed forces camps.
The implementation of a water purification solution at Jinasena starts with the testing of a water sample given by the customer at one of the company’s state-of-the-art labs. Based on the lab results and the requirement of the customer, the company experts focus on providing a comprehensive solution that includes the necessary infrastructure needed to meet those requirements. The solution is completely designed in-house using only the best items sourced from various partners that they have tied up with. After successful implementation, the company is able to provide a professional after-sales service through 19 Sales Centres around the country.
Expressing her views on the current trend in the market, Mrs. Purnima Weerakoon, Manager Water Purification of Jinasena (Pvt) Limited stated, “Sri Lanka is in the middle of a serious battle with CKD in various parts of the island. While treating those affected by the disease is one part of the battle, we must also put a great effort to provide clean drinking water, free of contaminants, to those who have not yet been affected. This latest trend of large corporates, local and foreign NGOs and charity organizations to focus on this challenge is a much-needed shot in the arm in the fight to minimize the damage caused by CKD in the lives of these individuals. In fact, our latest project is one by a British-based foundation that is also about the setting up a water treatment plant that will provide clean water to about 250 families in Padaviya.”
Founded in 1905, Jinasena Limited was the first Ceylonese-owned engineering company and by 1932 was rated among the five leading engineering companies in the island. In 1950, the son of the founder T. S. Jinasena designed and manufactured the first Jinasena Centric Water Pump. It is still the only water pump that is wholly-manufactured in Sri Lanka. It continues to enjoy a significant market share in Sri Lanka due to its sturdy construction, proven track record, availability of spare parts and reputable after-sales service. The company also specializes in Water Pumping Solutions, Irrigation Solutions and Water Purifying Solutions, which makes Jinasena one of the few companies that can provide Water Management Solutions (On or off grid) under one roof. In addition, the company is also involved in Renewable Energy solutions and Agricultural Machinery in keeping with its slogan “One trusted name and many possibilities”.
