Our Sanitation Challenges

Do You Need Any

Untreated wastewater contains elevated organic fractions, which possess high oxygen demand that can lead to oxygen depletion in rivers and dams, causing fish deaths and harm to the environment
Nuisance odour generation and fly breeding activities are likely through the discharge of untreated sewage, flies spreading disease
High nutrient levels also exist in untreated domestic wastewater and in untreated form have potential to support eutrophication, i.e. stimulation of excessive aquatic plant and algae growth
Domestic wastewater contains pathogenic bacteria, potential disease forming; gastro-enteritis, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis….
In treating wastewater, re-use opportunities are increased thereby reducing the pressure on our natural water sources

Social responsibility and legal requirement

One out of five children die from water related diseases
Approximately 1,5 million cases of diarrhoea reported annually in children younger 5 years
Water related illnesses have a negative impact on school attendances
Excessive health expenditure can be curbed with adequate sanitation services
Ninety percent of diseases originate from faeces
One gram of faeces typically contains 10 x 106 viruses, 1 x 1 06 bacteria,1 000 parasite cysts and 100 parasite eggs

South Africa’s drinking water supplies are threatened by sewage from settlements that lack sanitation …,”

5 million a day. 25 million a week, 100 million liters of wastewater/per month

Simplified biological process application
Based on conventional, proven process knowledge
Introduces new innovation to enhance process performance
Thereby requiring less operational and maintenance input
Can treat a wide range of wastewater due to modular design
Suitable for many small wastewater volume applications, schools, clinics, hostels, resorts, office parks, residential estates, bucket eradication programmes, RDP housing plans, mining shafts, underground mining applications.
Opportunities for Business in terms of social labour plans, mining charter objectives, domestic sewage management and water recycling targets

Plant operation provides ideal and controlled environment for micro- organisms to perform efficiently
