Modern Water signs AMBC collaboration for Africa
Modern Water plc (AIM:MWG), the owner of leading technologies
for water and wastewater treatment and for the monitoring of water
quality, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a
collaboration agreement with WEC Projects (Pty) Ltd ("WEC
Projects"), a leading South-African EPC contractor which
specialises in the provision of engineered solutions in the water
and wastewater treatment sector. Based in Johannesburg, South
Africa, WEC Projects is active throughout the African
continent.
WEC Projects will promote Modern Water's innovative and
proprietary All-Membrane Brine Concentration ("AMBC") technology
throughout the African continent.
Brine is a by-product of many industrial processes and can pose
a significant environmental hazard, both due to corrosive and
sediment-forming effects of salts and toxicity of other chemicals
diluted in it.
Technologies for treatment of polluted brine include evaporation
processes, such as brine concentrators and crystallizers employing
mechanical vapour recompression and steam. Traditional brine
treatment, from recycling to Zero Liquid Discharge ("ZLD") methods,
is typically complex, multi-stage and costly, representing a
significant cost to businesses. Modern Water's advanced technology
allows customers to achieve higher brine concentrations than
traditional membrane techniques, which significantly reduces the
wastewater volume required for the subsequent brine crystalliser
treatment.
Simon Humphrey, Modern Water's CEO, said: "WEC Projects is a
leading contractor in Southern Africa and we are glad to have found
such a superb partner to promote our AMBC, adding to our other
excellent partnerships in India with Advent Envirocare and with
Sunup in China. Our AMBC technology is proven to deliver a
step-change in performance and is the key step in significantly
reducing operating costs for customers and consequently lower
operating costs."
Commenting on the project, Wayne Taljaard, WEC Project's CEO
said: "Modern Water's proprietary brine concentrator is an
innovative solution capable of reducing waste-water treatment
requirements and maximising clean-water reuse in a wide range of
industrial applications, including mining, power, oil & gas and
desalination plants. Southern Africa is a potentially large market
for AMBC since the area is host to numerous industry sectors, all
of which are increasingly subject to strict water treatment
regulations due to Southern Africa's severe water shortage."
