Rural Water Supply – Containerized Conventional Water Treatment Plant with Reverse Osmosis

Problem Statement

Rural areas in Africa oftentimes lack access to reliable municipal supply. Communities and facilities can utilize borehole water, but not before treating the water to remove dissolved salts, hight hardness and often metals. These site are often far and little infrastructure is available.

  • Borehole Water – High iron, conductivity and other trace metals

Performance Target

  • SANS 241 – Drinking water specification
  • High recovery >75%

Process

  • Oxidation/ Disinfection
  • Chemical Dosing
  • Settling
  • Multimedia filtration, adsorption and softening
  • Reverse Osmosis

Innovation

Watericon can offer alternative energy system such as generators or solar systems when electricity is not available. These water treatment plants can be used by the facility to generate an income through the sale of bottled drinking water to the surrounding community.
