The use of SewTreat’s water recycling technologies not only saves the logistics park millions of rands, but also conserves an impressive amount of water resources, making a positive impact on the environment and local community. A key feature of this project was the treatment and utilisation of rainwater for its cooling plant. Using SewTreat’s comprehensive rainwater harvesting system guaranteed Pick n Pay Eastport Logistics Park a sustainable source of water for its cooling plant, and brought huge economic benefits. The difference between using the municipal rate and using SewTreat has amounted to a saving of over R2,500,000 annually. Sew Treat has also been involved in the Merino Mall development in Ermelo, Mpumalanga. The project has showcased the company’s expertise in both borehole water treatment and wastewater treatment with the mall benefitting from a new borehole water treatment plant supplying it with an additional 18,000 litres of treated water. Furthermore, the waste water treatment plant from SewTreat, has enabled the mall to reuse all the treated wastewater for purposes such as toilet flushing, firewater, and irrigation. It now has access to 130,000 litres of treated wastewater, meaning the mall only needs to purchase 30% of their water from the council, saving them R1,400,000 per annum. SewTreat takes great pride in not only installing these plants but also operating and maintaining them, thus providing comprehensive, worryfree services to clients.
