This is a water treatment company that focuses on Acid Mine Drainage to drinking stage using waste product.
About
On this project, we use a waste metallurgical slag which is cheaper to treat the contaminated water to drinking stage and it is locally available, we have built a prototype in 2016 which is based at the Council For Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
This project incepted in 2014 at the University of Johannesburg under laboratory conditions and the Intellectual Property of the project is exclusively owned and supported by the University and licensed to me as the inventor. I have been working in the mining industry for over 14 years as a Metallurgist and have noticed with great concern, the non-compliance of the mines regarding this scarce resource (water) that our continent desperately needs. I can safely say, we have found a cheaper solution for this contaminated acidic water for the mines.
Our objective is to increase Africa's water capacity for drinking, process, irrigation and agricultural purposes in order to increase our continent's food security. We will sell the treated water to the mines at a competitive price while reducing their drinking water costs as they are the largest municipal drinking water consumers.
