Technology Nereda

Capacity extension 5 Mℓ/day

WHAT IS NEREDA?The name Nereda comes from the nereids of Greek mythology. Nereids are typically pure and flawless water nymphs, reflecting the quality of the water produced by the technology.

Nereda is an innovative and advanced biological wastewater treatment tech-nology that purifies wastewater using aerobic granules. With superb settling properties, these biomass granules have vastly superior settling characteris-tics when compared to regular floc. As a result, Nereda treatment results in high-quality effluent.

Used for both new projects and extensions, Nereda is the future of wastewa-ter treatmenmt technology. It was developed at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands in conjunction with Royal HaskoningDHV and Dutch water boards. WEC Projects is the exclusive licensee for Nereda in South Africa.

HOT SEAT

What was WEC Project’s role in the Hartbeesfontein WWTW extension?GH It’s an interesting project for us because we are able to extend the main Hartbeesfontein plant by 5Mℓ/day using the existing civil structures ‒ an ideal demonstration of Nereda’s retrofi tting capabilities. The two redundant tanks on site have been converted to a Nereda

buff er tank and a Nereda reactor. As the fi rst Nereda plant in Gauteng, we are confi dent that this plant will be a showcase for the technology. In fact, I believe Nereda’s combination of benefi ts makes it an inevitability for the future of wastewater treatment.

We were able to implement Nereda with a minimal impact on the existing plant footprint as a result of the use of existing civil infrastructure. Footprint savings is one of the main benefi ts of Nereda and the availability of land for plant expan-sions is becoming more and more of a concern for our clients.

How did WEC’s solution save the client money while extending Hartbeesfontein WWTW’s capacity?To start with, a Nereda plant, when compared to an equivalent conventional activated sludge plant, takes up much less space. In high-level studies conducted by WEC Projects as well as other entities working with the technology, the savings equate to more than 50% in most cases, which is phenomenal. Since the plant is so much smaller, the civil construction costs are greatly reduced.

Nereda is also extremely frugal when it comes to energy consumption, partly as a result of its innovative one-tank design. With Nereda, you don’t need anaerobic and anoxic zones, nor the consequential recycling systems. You also don’t need fi nal clarifi ers because the aerobic granular sludge cultivated

in a Nereda plant has superior settling properties. Therefore, all the nutrient removal zones, the aeration zone and clarification all occur in a single tank.

What properties make Nereda revolutionary for retrofitting?The properties of the aerobic granular sludge make it denser than the con-ventional floc-type sludge and it sub-sequently settles much more rapidly, optimising existing infrastructure. Also, Nereda is an innovative, one-tank design, meaning you don’t need final clarifiers.

Last time we spoke, WEC Projects had ambitions to take on more projects outside of South Africa. How have you successfully implemented this strategy to date?We have always been very active all around the African continent and, today, that is even more of a focus for us. We are currently busy with projects in various African countries including Zambia, Swaziland and Guinea.

In terms of Nereda, I feel that it is as much a certainty in South Africa as it is all around the world. The global uptake of the technology is rapid and the quality of the licensees around the world is beyond question. We have

become a member of a global commu-nity in which we can share ideas and experiences and, in so doing, continue to add value to our clients with an optimised solution. The value of Nereda is in this community as much as it is in the technology itself.

How are technologies like Nereda aligned with national government’s goals towards greater water security?Minister of Water and Sanitation Nomvula Mokonyane, in her revised strategic plan, has been clear about the role new technologies must play in the provision of water and sanitation solutions, saying: “The challenges of the water and sanitation sector cannot be addressed by utilising existing technologies alone. As signatories to the UN’s sustainability development goals and the commitments of COP21, compounded by the harsh realities of water scarcity and drought, the need to rapidly attain water security. Access to water and sanitation services for all in the country is highly reliant on the adoption of new technologies and innovation. Research into, and adoption of, new technologies in the areas of sanitation, water-quality mon-itoring, infrastructure development, maintenance and operations is thus

critical to the sector.” We must all fi nd a more innovative approach to solving the problems we have in the water sector. The technology is available ‒ it just needs to be applied.

WEC has established its reputation based on expertise in a number of cutting-edge technologies. As a leader in biogas-to-energy and wastewater solutions, what do you foresee being ‘hot button’ issues in the future, particularly in light of the World Water Day theme of wastewater?I don’t believe the fundamentals have changed with regard to biogas-to-energy in South Africa. We are still faced with ever-increasing energy costs and the com-pounded requirement to add capacity to our sanitation infrastructure. Often, it’s the lack of power supply that impedes an extension to a sewage treatment facility.

Biogas on a sewage treatment plant is an unexploited fuel source; the business case for the municipal client is solid and as a result of this opportunity fuel we can collectively reduce the load we place on a strained Eskom and create enormous sav-ings for utilities that will consequentially purchase less from Eskom.

Water nymph wows

Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane has emphasised the role new technologies will play in water and sanitation solutions. Graham Hartlett, commercial director at WEC Projects, explains how Nereda®, a proprietary technology from the Netherlands, is being rolled out for the fi rst time in Gauteng.

Why is water likely to be the biggest risk for sub-Saharan African businesses over the next decade?GS Drinking water remains a major concern in Africa. Millions of people are without access to improved, reliable drinking water sources. With sub-Saharan Africa being among those regions with the greatest drinking-water spending need, there are still people using surface water. Businesses are at risk with legislation becoming stricter around water usage and water discharge limits.

What is the best approach for managing these risks?A very important part of the AECI business expansion strategy is to provide safe drinking water through reuse and recycling initiatives for Africa. ImproChem, as the AECI water pillar, focuses on just that, resulting in the slogan: “Making water work for Africa”.

What are ImproChem’s specialist applications and technologies for managing these risks?ImproChem is a water management company providing various equipment and chemicals for the potable water market, as well as for industrial applications. ImproChem off ers state-of-the-art technology that includes reverse osmosis (RO) plants, fi ltration equipment, customised pretreatment, effl uent plants and much more. ImproChem builds, owns and operates some of these treatment plants and also has the in-house capabilities to design, build and assemble many of them. ImproChem focuses on water management and the possible treatment of water sources ‒

such as borehole water, river water and even sea water ‒ to potable water standards, as well as the treatment of effl uent and looking at reuse and recycling opportunities.

What do clients need to know before choosing a service provider to assist them with managing their boiler and cooling water?ImproChem partners with its customers, working to add value to the operation. Before choosing a service provider, be clear and differentiate between just dosing a chemical and having a service provider that will manage your water treatment through total cooling tower or boiler water management.

How do your products and services translate into client savings?ImproChem uses its well-researched products and services to work with customers to add value to their operations. We offer a result. We use our VGP (Value Generation Plan) to work with our customers to see how we can optimise their processes and save money. We record the value and potential savings

The eThekwini Municipality recently secured almost R800 million in funding to develop its Northern and Western Aqueduct projects further.

PROVINCIAL FOCUS | KZN

Funding a growing needServing the people

The municipality has secured some R793 million to fund its vital aqueduct systems further. R700 million, in the form of loans, as well as a R93 million grant were secured in October last year to enable the projects to be taken

through to completion.“The programme will strengthen the capacity of bulk water supply

and meet the needs of the greater eThekwini region,” the eThekwini Municipality said in a statement.

Funding for the projects has come from three sources:• The Infrastructure Investment Programme of South Africa’s Direct

Capital Grant is contributing R93 million, which has been funded by the EU.

• R350 million is being loaned by the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA).

• R350 million is being loaned by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD).

Owing to the injection of funds, the projects’ progress is to be main-tained and the municipality has indicated that both Western and Northern projects are expected to be completed by 2019.

Both projects are being undertaken to address wa-ter-related challenges owing to the fact that existing bulk water supply infrastructure has reached the limit of its capacity. Residents have been aff ected by this as their water supply has been constrained and developments to improve infrastructure have been put on hold.

The projects further seek to address South Africa’s perennial problem of age-ing infrastructure, which is another challenge impacting on water quality and provision.

Performance assessmentAn integral part of securing funding, particularly through mechanisms such as loans and grants, is being able to show solid fi nancials. In light of this, the municipality recently underwent an assessment of its performance indicators, including its debtors’ collection rate and the average number of days taken to pay creditors.

City manager Sibusiso Sithole believes this was key in engendering investor confi dence in the city. “It is a confi rmation that eThekwini Municipality is on sound fi nancial ground, hence development fi nance institutions like the DBSA and AFD have facilitated this funding, which will contribute to programmes that will ensure water supply for residents and commercial stakeholders,” he said.

In October last year, Martha Stein-Sochas, regional director, AFD, said the organisation was pleased to contribute to such programmes. “We are aware of the situation that South Africa is in, with the water shortages and drought,” she said. “This is why we have decided to come on board and provide funding that will be injected into two major projects that are of ben-efi t to the community.”

EThekwini Water and Sanitation is responsible for the pro-vision of water and sanitation services to all customers in the municipality. The unit has a cooperative research agreement with the University of KwaZulu-Natal to

further this agenda. The unit has been able to use GIS-based tools, a specifi cally developed call centre, electronic workfl ow and document management software to further improve service delivery.Always looking for new and innovative ways to provide services to

its customers, the unit has been recognised through many awards and acknowledgements for exactly that ‒ innovation.

Initiatives such as free basic water, fl ow limiters, the use of plastic-bodied water meters, polypropylene water piping, ground tanks and semi-pressure water service levels, urine diversion toilets, anaerobic baffl ed reactors, the use of grey water for urban agriculture, customer services agents, condominial sewerage and a customer water debt repayment policy were fi rst introduced to South Africa, in eThekwini.

Key priorities Eradicating the backlog in the provision of water and sanitation services:• while the water backlog has been reduced to 15% of what it was in 1996,

the sewerage backlog stands at approximately 50% of the 1996 fi gure• reducing non-revenue water from the present level of 30%, to 25%, over

the next fi ve years• improving asset management systems and the maintenance

of infrastructure• training young graduates in engineering and retaining skilled staff to

respond to the shortage of engineers and professional skills in SA• improving performance management systems• improving customer services and services payment levels, which are

currently just over 90%.The biggest challenge for the city of eThekwini is delivering water and sanitation to the more than a million people living in informal settle-

ments. Pursuant to this, and always innovative, the city’s Water and Sanitation Department created the “community ablu-

tion block”, which is a public washroom. It’s an ordinary marine cargo container refi tted inside with running

water in sinks and wash basins, toilets and show-ers. Durban has 2 500 ablution blocks installed in many of its nearly 500 informal settlements, where homes made of scrap wood and corrugated metal don’t have running water or toilets. There’s suffi -

cient public funding to fabricate and install perhaps 80 more ablution blocks annually.

Teddy Gounden, project manager for eThekwini Water and Sanitation, says, “Durban is also a test bed for

numerous strategies that turn human waste into usable com-post or in other ways dispose of urine and faeces without using fresh water to do it. But Durban’s most important innovation is its unwavering commitment to providing water and waste services to the poor. City leaders view providing fresh water,

showers and clean toilets to more than a million residents in the city’s informal settlements as a moral responsibility.”

EThekwini Water and Sanitation, as a unit of the eThekwini Municipality, is

responsible for the provision of water and sanitation services to all customers

in the municipality. Its core values are customer-centricity, cost-consciousness

and ensuring staff well-being.

Aqua Resources SA MD Susan Cole has been a leading light in the South African water industry for more than two decades. In support of National Water Week, she provides her insights on how to improve Southern Africa’s water supply sustainability.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTINDUSTRY INSIGHT

Aqua Resources SA ensuressupply sustainability

What are the most eff ective solutions ‒ technological and otherwise ‒ for ensuring that all people have adequate access to clean water sources?SC Water is not only vital for our survival as human beings, but is also used in almost all industrial processes. Natural water resources are under constant strain, and population growth and industrialisation are exacerbating the trend. Moreover, these increasingly scarce water resources are becoming more polluted.

Eff ectively treating our inland water supplies using conventional solutions is becoming more challenging as they are becoming progressively more saline and eutrophic. Greater attention needs to be paid to recycling wastewater from industrial and mining operations. This would reduce the volume of wastewater reaching rivers and dams, and potable water previously consumed by such industries could be used elsewhere ‒ thereby expanding the access to clean water. Industrial water users

would become self-suffi cient and the environmental impact of waste would be reduced or eliminated.

Water treatment technologies such as ultrafi ltration (UF) and reverse osmosis (RO) have demonstrated that they are eff ective methods of treating and recycling waste and industrial waters.

Regional success stories include the Emalahleni Wastewater Reclamation Plant treating acid mine drainage water to potable standards. The Cape-based plant treats fi nal effl uent from a munici-pal sewage treatment works for use as process water at an industrial site, functioning as a direct reuse plant providing a nearby town with potable supply.

If we could replicate these successes elsewhere, we could multiply the positive eff ects. Recycling and reuse of water needs to be promoted as a viable solution to our region’s water scarcity.

How would you characterise the relationship between governance and technology when it comes to sustaining water supply security?The World Bank defi nes governance as including aspects of:• Participation of citizens in political

processes, freedom of expression and association, free media

• Political stability and the absence of violence

• Government eff ectiveness in the delivery of services

• Regulatory quality, rule of law• Control of corruption.Technology is key in developing an economy. The development of new products and services starts with technology. Applying technology meets needs, which, in turn, enable momen-tum across other sectors of an economy.

Most technological innovation comes from the private sector. By combining the eff orts of government and the private sector in seeking water supply security, we can ensure we have enough water to sustain economic growth going

forward. Public-private partnerships are a sound way of ensuring cooperation and water supply security for all.

What are the main sectors that find desalination technologies like UF and RO appropriate for their needs and why?Sectors that find UF and RO technolo-gies appropriate include the municipal (water and sewage treatment), industri-al (including mining), wastewater reuse, food and beverage, and residential point-of-use sectors. As both technol-ogies address the removal of different types of contaminants, they act in conjunction to solve the clean-water challenge.

What partnerships has Aqua Resources SA developed to supply its clients with a total, affordable water treatment solution?Aqua Resources SA distributes the trademarked inge GmbH ultrafiltration range & LG Water Solutions’ RO mem-branes in sub-Saharan Africa.

Both manufacturers supply high-quality, cost-effective solutions for various water treatment challenges including wastewater recycling, reuse and desalination.

Susan Cole, MD of Aqua Resources SA, has 22 years of experience in the speciality chemical and water treatment sector focusing on potable-, industrial- and wastewater applications. She has been involved in the supply of water treatment components, chemi-cals and technical back-up to many of the water boards and treatment plants throughout South Africa as well as Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania, Kenya, Mauritius and the Seychelles.

Susan has worked for NCP Chlorchem and SudChemie Water & Process Technologies (currently Improchem).

Prior to founding Aqua Resources SA, Susan worked as the regional commer-cial manager: sub-Saharan Africa for Dow Water & Process Solutions.

What are some of the most popular solutions for the South African market and why?The South African market is transitioning from conventional treatment solutions to more ‘hi-tech’ treatment options.

Hi-tech technologies are sometimes perceived as more expensive but there is ongoing research focusing on fi nding ways to improve effi ciency and reduce energy consumption in these types of treatment plants.

UF removes suspended solids, bacteria and viruses while RO removes dissolved salts. This makes them the ideal technol-ogies for:• production of potable and process water

from surface, well and spring water• sea water desalination using RO with

UF as pretreatment• treatment and reuse of wastewater

What puts the technologies you supply ahead of similar market off erings?When it comes to UF, the inge ultrafi ltra-tion range with its patented multibore membrane technology combines seven individual capillaries in one highly robust fi bre. This signifi cantly increases mem-brane stability and virtually eliminates the risk of fi bre breakage. The membrane provides a secure barrier against sus-pended solids and microorganisms while delivering a consistently high level of fi ltrate quality regardless of fl uctuations in the quality of the feed water.

inge technology also off ers signifi cant advantages over conventional water treatment methods, such as rapid and easy module installation and stable,

highly resilient membranes. This makes planning a water treatment facility much simpler, enabling customers to achieve low-cost installation and operation along with a guarantee of long-lasting reliability.

As for our RO off ering, LG Water Solutions manufactures the range of NanoH20 RO membranes. Encapsulation of benign nanoparticles changes the structure of the thin-fi lm surface of a conventional RO membrane, allowing more water to pass through while rejecting unwanted materials such as salt. It is this thin fi lm that dictates the permeability and salt rejection of the membrane and, therefore, the economics of a desalination plant.

LG Chem's thin-fi lm nanocomposite membranes have demonstrated a 50% to 100% increase in permeability when compared to the installed base of RO membranes.

This increased permeability means less pressure is required to force the migration of fresh water through the membrane, thus lowering a desalination plant’s energy costs.

Recycling and reuse of water needs to be promoted as a viable solution to our region’s water scarcity

“We found that the timeframes for many of these projects became extended and municipalities wanted a high-quality packaged plant capable of lasting throughout the duration of an extended project. AquaPlan responded by customising and optimising our solutions for the local market, ensuring that our plants are constructed with materials that provide superior durability,” says Bieseman.

Projects such as this require a complete solution in a short time. AquaPlan has structured its production process to meet these exacting demands.

“Our lead times with regard to packaged plants are highly competitive. We have streamlined our supply chain, our man-ufacturing production line and assembly workspace to achieve shorter turna-round times.

“A complete, tested and ready-to-run, water treatment plant can be custom built in six to eight weeks. We carry critical components in stock, to reduce pressure on the supply chain, and we have a vast range of complete designed and engi-neered solutions that can go into man-ufacturing within a day from the initial order being placed. Amongst our range of products, we have optimised re-dundancy and con-tingency to be able to increase the up-time of our plants even more. Our installed products are supported by a team of specialists in the fi eld that oversee the operation and maintenance of the products in joint venture with our clients,” explains Bieseman.

Bright sparksThe entire AquaPlan team shares a pas-sion and commitment to providing clean drinking water to all. It also boasts cross-functional abilities, resulting in eff ective and effi cient service.

“We have a dedicated Engineering Design Department that focuses on ensuring that all projects are executed on time and in line with our stringent quality standards. We rely on a full draughting and manufacturing division to allow the engineers the freedom to plan, design, and execute all functions in-house. All our engineers have exten-sive experience in water treatment,” says Bieseman.

Together, AquaPlan’s engineering team members share over 100 years of practical experience along with exten-sive manufacturing facilities, allowing them to provide skilled services in all areas of the water treatment industry.

Advanced manufacturingThe assembly, transport and rigging of packaged plants during manufacturing

and assembly neces-sitate a considerable amount of space to be able to carry out quality workmanship safely and effi ciently. AquaPlan currently has more than 60 000 m² of prime land available, with more than 14 000 m² of covered

At AquaPlan, we design, manufacture, install and commission complete water treatment plants,

from packaged potable water treatment plants, to more complex industrial effl u-ent treatment systems. We off er various solutions to vast water-treatment-related challenges, ranging from unconventional technologies to supplying specialised resin,” says Johan Bieseman, managing director of AquaPlan.

AquaPlan’s core specialisations are employed in all unit processes used in the four main fi elds of water treatment, namely: water purifi cation for human consumption; water treatment and preparation for special industrial applica-tions; industrial effl uent treatment; and wastewater treatment.

In order to provide its customers with a tailor-made, eff ective, yet aff ordable solution, AquaPlan employs the full spectrum of unit processes in its designs, ranging from conventional clarifi cation and fi ltration systems, to more complex membrane systems. It also applies a phi-losophy of continuous optimisation while promoting the use of energy recovery from effl uent.

Packaged treatment excellence“In recent years, we have witnessed a rising demand for packaged, easy-to-deploy modular treatment plants. Although this technology has been on the market for some years, we have seen

a growing interest in purchasing mod-ular systems throughout South Africa. Modular systems provide more fl exibil-ity ‒ allowing the plant owner to adjust plants to the size of the service commu-nity, or even move the plant to a new location, as needed,” explains Bieseman.

“Not only have our customers shown increased interest in this product, but the orders that we have received thus far re-fl ect a growing range of treatment types required in packaged form,” he adds.

Application rangeAquaPlan off ers a diverse product range, serving the needs of municipalities, water boards, the power and petro-chemicals industry, mines and the agricultural sector. Other areas where AquaPlan has established a strong presence are renewable energy, and the food and beverage industry.

“We are currently constructing three packaged modular wastewater treatment plants: two for rural communities in KwaZulu-Natal, and one for export to Vietnam,” says Bieseman.“On the conventional potable treatment side, we are also constructing three packaged modular raw water treatment plants. These include an 8 Mℓ/day

treatment plant for a rural community in Kwazulu-Natal treating water from the Tugela River; a 5 Mℓ/day expansion treatment plant for a rural community in Polokwane; and a 2 Mℓ/day treat-ment plant for deployment anywhere in South-Africa, under the Department of Water and Sanitation’s Drought Eradication Programme,” he adds.

Demand uptickBieseman attributes the uptick in demand for AquaPlan’s packaged mod-ular treatment plants to drought and general water scarcity.

“When considering the enormous demand for clean, potable water in Southern Africa, in conjunction with the ever-increasing population growth, coupled to the sporadic drought we have seen, it comes as no surprise that there is an enormous demand for quality products in the shortest possible time ‒ at a reasonable cost. This is exactly our mission at AquaPlan: to provide packaged excellence, at an aff ordable cost,” he explains.

Delivery timelinesMunicipalities, in particular, require fast turnaround times and are becoming more and more likely to consider packaged treatment options. As initiatives like the Blue and Green Drop certifi cations have been rolled out, municipalities are holding themselves to a higher standard when it comes to providing access to improved water and sanitation infrastructure for all. As a result, there are a greater number of extension and retrofi t projects happening, and these projects take a long time to get off the ground due to the rigorous planning, funding and environmental processes involved. In the meantime, municipalities will often require an interim solution to serve their community’s potable and wastewater treatment needs.

Looking to the futureAquaPlan currently undertakes the majority of its projects in South Africa. However, part of the company’s long-term strategy is to supply Africa, and ultimately the globe, with water treatment plants. “We are currently focusing intently on Africa, having exe-cuted projects in Madagascar, Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Mali, Ghana, Tanzania, and the DRC,” says Bieseman.

Apart from packaged modular treatment plants, AquaPlan also provides expert mechanical and chemical engineering services, and has excelled in demonstrating these capa-bilities in the past on large, municipal treatment works.

AquaPlan currently has seven packaged treatment plants under construction at its Pomona facility in Gauteng, and can begin construction within a day of receiving an order

Over 100 years of practical experience combined with extensive manufacturing facilities have

propelled AquaPlan Water Treatment Engineering into becoming a leader in the local market

for packaged, modular treatment plants.
