There is a growing population with a large need for clean drinking water as well as a lack of infrastructure and sanitation facilities and an uncontrolled discharge of wastewater which pollutes the water sources in Africa.
Industrial wastewater treatment has a unique place in environmental engineering and it has different pollution characteristics for different types of industries. The extensive reforms and important investments that are taking place along with the rising economic growth rates of many African Countries (i.e. Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya), make Africa a promising market.
The following are top water treatment plants manufacturers in the world

“We are looking to establish qualified distribution and construction
partners in Morocco, South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and we will evaluate
other potential relationship with qualified companies in other
countries on a case by case basis”. states Mr. Nicholas.
He has this advise to potential clients which has to do with knowledge
transfer
focused on three main points depending upon the target customer (water
utilities & industry).
This advice surrounds the issues dealing with population growth and
effects of climate change on water utilities. This advice would include
decoupling from legacy type centralized water treatment systems to more
decentralized treatment systems to handle population growth demand and
water resource challenges.
Additionally, advice on advocacy for innovative, optimized modular
wastewater treatment systems and treatment to reduce significantly the
pollution of surface water sources and the benefits of reuse as a
sustainable resource for irrigation/agriculture.
Finally, advice to be give to potential clients in the agriculture
sector, would be based on food security and optimization of water
resources and increased plant crop yields through the use of Power-Z,
which is a cost efficient soil conditioner with significant benefits on
the ability to grow crops/plants in less than ideal environments or
climates.
