ORGANICA WASTE WATER TECHNOLOGY

Murray & Roberts Water has a unique value offering in the municipal waste water sector through its exclusive licence agreement with Organica Water. There are currently over eighty Organica reference plants operating globally and Murray & Roberts Water has successfully demonstrated the Organica technology through a twelve month operation period of a demonstration Organica plant situated at eThekwini Municipality’s Verulam waste water treatment plant.

Localised wastewater treatment specialist Organica brings a highly imaginative approach to wastewater treatment in urban and suburban areas. Organica’s treatment facilities utilise active biofilms on natural (plant) and/or engineered (patented biofiber media) root structures, all housed in a fully-enclosed, odourless facility. The result is a solution which offers 50-75% reduced physical footprint compared to conventional wastewater treatment solutions, with up to 30% reduction in operational costs, all in the form of a pleasant botanical garden-like environment that enables the wastewater treatment plant to be located virtually anywhere, thus substantially lowering infrastructure costs to connect to customers and enhancing land value around the facility.

Organica Water also offers a unique and powerful preliminary design tool that is freely available on its website. The tool can be customised and integrated into clients / consultants design systems. Organica also has a digital services offering that is at the leading edge of digital disruption in the water and waste water treatment industry.
