Thepartnership
Proven in Europe
Proven in Europe. Built for Africa.
As South Africa and the wider continent face growing pressure on water, decentralised and efficient wastewater treatment has never mattered more. AUGUST brings more than two decades of operating success across Europe, Asia and beyond.
Represents them
Holds exclusive rights to represent AUGUST in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Puts them to work
Hidrotech's exclusive implementation and technical integration partner for LIVWaste: design, install, finance and operate.
The technology
All your needs under one lid.
A closed, aerobic biological process in a single polyethylene tank. Point at a feature to see it.
- 01Six interconnected compartments
The process in each compartment builds on the last, reaching some of the highest treatment results at the lowest operating cost.
- 02No moving parts
Nothing mechanical inside the unit to wear out, so the failure rate is close to zero. Separate aeration and circulation cycles keep treatment stable.
- 03No unpleasant smell
The plants do not give off odours, so they sit comfortably beside homes, lodges and offices.
- 04No insoluble materials
A built-in mechanical screen traps the water-insoluble materials that arrive with the wastewater, before they reach the biology.
