- (1888PressRelease) March 28, 2026 - PORT LOUIS, MAURITIUS - Desbro Trading Ltd (DTL), a cornerstone of the Mauritian industrial supply chain, has successfully concluded a high-level technical training program dedicated to the safe handling and management of gaseous chlorine. This strategic initiative, organized in close partnership with South African chemical leader NCP Chlorchem, was specifically tailored for the technical teams of the Central Water Authority (CWA) and the Mauritius Fire and Rescue Service (MFRS).
As the official distributor and partner of NCP Chlorchem in the region, Desbro Trading Ltd continues to position itself not merely as a supplier, but as a vital partner in national safety. This training addresses the critical operational requirements of handling chlorine cylinders and tonners, essential components in the country’s water purification and emergency response systems.
A Two Phase Immersion: From Theory to Technical Mastery
The program was structured to provide a 360-degree understanding of chemical risks and mitigation strategies:
Day 1: Theoretical Foundation (Desbro Training Center, La Tour Koenig)
Under the guidance of renowned South African experts Mr. Daniel Victor Fransias Maraias and Mr. Daniel Hobyane, participants engaged in intensive modules covering the chemical properties of chlorine, international storage standards, and rigorous emergency response protocols.
Day 2: Operational Validation (La Nicolière Water Treatment Plant)
The second phase shifted to the field at the CWA site in La Nicolière. Participants performed hands on simulations under real-world conditions, validating their ability to execute safety maneuvers, leak detection, and equipment maintenance with surgical precision.
Commitment to Excellence and Certification
At the end of the session, each participant from the CWA and MFRS was awarded an official certificate of proficiency. This certification serves as a formal recognition of their technical competency and their ability to operate in high-stakes environments according to the most stringent international safety regulations.
