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.

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.

01

Homes & rural properties

Reliable onsite treatment where central sewerage is unavailable or impractical.

02

Housing developments

Repeatable systems that can be staged alongside development growth.

03

Schools & clinics

Practical sanitation infrastructure supported by operator training and service planning.

04

Lodges & hospitality

Compact treatment suited to variable occupancy and sensitive receiving environments.

05

Commercial facilities

Site-specific wastewater solutions for workplaces, camps and operational facilities.

06

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.

01

Assess & characterise

Review users, flow, wastewater strength, land, power, receiving environment, access and future demand.

02

Design & supply

Confirm treatment capacity, hydraulic arrangement, ancillary equipment, approvals and delivery requirements.

03

Install & commission

Support installation, testing, startup, operator handover and baseline performance records.

04

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.

Now

Small packaged systems

RP10-led solutions for homes, small developments and compact commercial or community sites.

Next

Multi-unit & shared systems

Multiple treatment units, balance arrangements and common dispersal infrastructure for larger loads.

Future

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.
