Numerous drinking water plants (Including "Brown water" i.e. full of Humus.) 3 to 35 m3/hr and multiples thereof. A water recycling plant for treatment of waste from an explosives factory. - UAE. Hydrochloric acid recovery from an Olefin stream at National Chemical Products. Waste water recovery at a car assembly plant ( Ford SA) (120 m3/h), Numerous Reverse Osmosis plants for Laboratory use, pharmaceutical use, electronics and general brackish water to potable water plants. (100 l/hr to 60 m3/h) PACT (Powder activated carbon treatment) of a waste water stream at a VCM plant -Polifin Filtration of borehole water for nurseries to get rid of nematodes and fungi etc. Ozonation Chlorination Numerous swimming pool filtration systems. Ultra filtration of ED paint baths for car assembly plants. Tubular Anodes for ED paint baths Cartridge filter installations from 75 micron to 0.2 micron. Dual media pressure filtration from 2 m3/hr to 150 m3/hr. RO water for Kidney Dialysis.
Two Pass RO for Intravenous Solution systems. (Malawi & Mozambique) Waste water treatment plant at EnviroServe Ltd SA. ( Major waste treatment Co. in SA.) We entered the Export market five years ago and sold to our immediate neighbor's and Thailand. Recently we have sold domestic water plants, and water make up plants (for Juice concentrate.)
