Clean and Safe Water – Sustainable Solutions – Everywhere, for Everyone
Our founding company, Mörk GmbH & Co. KG in Germany, was established in 1902 and in 2011, there was an initiative to utilize the company’s strength in project management to bring clean water to regions in Africa. The heart of this was powering water treatment units with solar power as sustainability was very important to the company. In partnership with GIZ the first project was rolled out in Chwaka in Zanzibar which utilised wind and solar (a small wind turbine and 6 solar panels), and with this project, Moerk Water was born.
In 2014, Founder and Director of Moerk Water, Martin Brezger, stepped down from his post as CEO of Mörk GmbH & Co. KG to move to dedicate his energy full-time to Moerk Water and move the base of operations to Australia. Together with his wife Barbara Brezger they grew the company and brought life changing projects to different remote communities across Africa and, more broadly, the Asia-Pacific region. As the company grew through innovation and the development of new capabilities, the company grew to serve new industries including agriculture both in Australia and internationally.
Today, having continued to grow as an organisation; Moerk Water is able to bring clean, safe, fit-for-purpose water wherever it is needed, be it large scale industrial, mining or healthcare applications to life-changing units for remote and indigenous communities. In this time, Moerk Water has developed a successful approach to remote community water treatment which combines reliable, sustainable technology with local empowerment.
Our expert team encompasses a wide array of qualifications and technical proficiency that benefits the communities, farmers, irrigators, resorts, commercial food processors, local governments, and government authorities we work with. Our user-friendly technology is easy to operate and maintain, while our remote monitoring and education on the operation and maintenance of our technology enables us to deliver technical support to ensure a dependable source of water over the long term.

OUR PROCESS
Moerk Water starts the process of finding a solution for a client by asking questions to find out exactly what the client needs. Once the client’s needs are understood, Moerk Water will perform a water quality assessment either in person or via a water sample of the best available source. Once the composition of the water is understood, Moerk Water will design a system based on the location of the installation, what needs to be removed from the water and the available power. This design process involves a range of physical and chemical simulations and determines the final makeup of the system. Then Moerk Water engineers will construct and test the unit before shipping it to site for commissioning.
The first step towards a successful partnership is communication. That’s why we place such importance on our initial meeting. We will talk to you to find out exactly what you want to achieve and your expectations. It ensures that everyone is on the same page from the outset.
Next, we need to investigate what is needed, which means looking in depth at your site and making sure we identify all potential challenges. The thorough knowledge we gain during the investigation stage lays the foundation for a successful outcome to your project.
Testing your water source allows us to determine exactly what we’re dealing with. Water analysis allows us to determine the cause or causes of water supply problems, and to identify the presence of any salt, debris, runoff, pollution, bacteria and parasites, as well as human and animal waste. We offer this cost-effective service to ensure we can then find the right solution for your needs without wasting time or money.
This is where we pull together all the data gained from our investigations and testing, then look back at the information gathered during our initial meeting with you to create a water treatment strategy that meets your needs, expectations and budget.
Once the water treatment strategy is in place, the next essential step is to consider installation and maintenance. This ensures everything goes smoothly when we get to site with your new technology. It also means that ongoing maintenance will be simple and cost-effective.
This is where we pull everything together. We meet with you to present our proposal that has been drafted with all the information gained throughout the previous steps. During our meeting, we will discuss the reasoning that has gone into the proposal and quote, listen to your feedback and make adjustments as required. Remember. This is your project and you are always in the driver’s seat.
MOERK'S HUMANITARIAN PROJECT WITH MERCY REACH FOUNDATION
Safe Drinking Water for Farming Communities in Papua New Guinea
The community wells in Keapara PNG contain brackish, saline, and arsenic water, which is poisonous, and harmful to the body as it causes sicknesses such as cancer, diarrhea, lung problems, skin and kidney disease often resulting in death.
Moerk Water Solutions Asia-Pacific Pty Ltd is partnering with Mercy Reach Foundation (MRF) in Perth, Western Australia aiming to raise in total AUD 90,000 to purchase and install a water treatment system to cover the region with safe drinking water and use for farming purposes.
We are asking for your donation to help us support this vulnerable community.
