Homes & rural properties
Reliable onsite treatment where central sewerage is unavailable or impractical.
Wastewater solutions
Start with the need. Design for the whole lifecycle.
AfriKleen’s approach begins with the site—not a catalogue. Expected flow, wastewater strength, power, ground conditions, reuse objectives and local operating capacity all shape the recommended solution.
Initial focus: decentralised packaged treatment in Malawi.
Current core system
RP10 packaged treatment
A compact single-tank treatment system for smaller sites, using sequenced biological treatment, settling and decanting within a controlled operating cycle.
Up to 10 peopleTypical domestic design basis
2,000 L/dayTypical hydraulic design capacity
5,000 LSingle treatment tank
Intermittent aerationDesigned to reduce unnecessary runtime
Compact single-tank system
Installed below ground with only service access points visible once landscaping is complete.
Applications
One practical platform. Many site types.
The treatment principle can be applied as a single system or as part of a larger, site-specific arrangement.
Housing developments
Repeatable systems that can be staged alongside development growth.
Schools & clinics
Practical sanitation infrastructure supported by operator training and service planning.
Lodges & hospitality
Compact treatment suited to variable occupancy and sensitive receiving environments.
Commercial facilities
Site-specific wastewater solutions for workplaces, camps and operational facilities.
Community projects
Scalable treatment planned around actual loading, local skills and long-term ownership.
More than equipment
Services wrapped around the system.
AfriKleen’s model covers assessment, supply, installation, commissioning, training, servicing, spare parts and technical support.
Assess & characterise
Review users, flow, wastewater strength, land, power, receiving environment, access and future demand.
Design & supply
Confirm treatment capacity, hydraulic arrangement, ancillary equipment, approvals and delivery requirements.
Install & commission
Support installation, testing, startup, operator handover and baseline performance records.
Operate & support
Train operators, establish preventative-maintenance routines, monitor performance and plan critical spare parts.
Indicative treatment targets
Performance must be designed, operated and verified.
For a correctly designed and operated standard system receiving influent around 350 mg/L BOD, the technology is intended to achieve the following treatment targets.
Biochemical oxygen demand<20 mg/L
Total suspended solids<30 mg/L
Thermotolerant coliforms<10 / 100 mL
Targets are not a blanket site guarantee. Final requirements and performance depend on influent, loading, design, commissioning, operation, maintenance, disinfection and local regulation.Growth pathway
Designed to scale as AfriKleen grows.
The launch range stays focused. The site structure leaves room for larger engineered systems when local delivery capability and project demand justify them.
Small packaged systems
RP10-led solutions for homes, small developments and compact commercial or community sites.
Multi-unit & shared systems
Multiple treatment units, balance arrangements and common dispersal infrastructure for larger loads.
Engineered community plants
A planned pathway toward locally produced systems for larger facilities and communities, subject to project engineering and approvals.
Every site is different
Bring us the problem before choosing the equipment.
Share the location, expected users, wastewater sources, available area and project stage. AfriKleen can help define the information needed for a suitable concept.
