Choose your situation
Wine farms & agricultural exporters
Your problem: EU buyers are tightening green-export requirements. Cellar wash and irrigation water is expensive — and often borehole-limited. Conservancy emptying for staff housing is a recurring cost.
ModMBR solution: Treat cellar wastewater and staff sewage to reuse grade. Irrigate back into the vineyard, wash down without paying for new water. Demonstrable green credentials for export auditors.
Eco-estates, golf estates & residential developers
Your problem: Environmental Authorisation conditions require on-site treatment to a high standard. Conservancy tanks are operationally messy and erode the levy. Future expansion has to be designed in from day one.
ModMBR solution: Modular — start with the launch phase, add modules as phases come online. Reuse-grade treated water can irrigate verges and common areas, reducing the levy. We provide annual compliance reports for the EA file.
Game lodges & eco-tourism
Your problem: Off-grid sites with no sewer connection. Guests expect zero odour and zero environmental impact. Conservancy emptying is expensive and disruptive.
ModMBR solution: Self-contained, odour-free treatment that fits behind the back-of-house. Treated water can irrigate gardens and lawns. Compliance evidence ready for the next site audit.
Commercial & industrial sites
Your problem: DWS discharge limits, rising sewer tariffs, and pressure to reuse where possible. Centralised plant is too big, too expensive, and locks you in.
ModMBR solution: Right-sized modular treatment at the point of discharge. Reuse on-site where possible. SCADA-integrated so plant or facility managers can monitor without a dedicated operator.
African export markets
Your problem: Centralised municipal treatment is unavailable or unreliable. Imported plants come with long lead times, hard-currency spares, and no local support.
ModMBR solution: South African-made, containerised, shipped ready-to-commission. Local-language operator training. Spares stocked in Somerset West, parts shipped to site within days.
The "double saving" idea
Most clients underestimate their saving because they only count the water they don't buy. The real saving has two parts:
- The water you don't buy at the incoming tariff (typically R12–R28 / kL).
- The sewer charge you don't pay on water that never enters the municipal sewer (typically R6–R15 / kL).
If you reuse 80% of treated water, you cut the bill on both sides of the meter. Try our calculator with your actual rates to see the number for your site.
