What do you know about the NIROBOX™ family of solutions? Yes, it sounds all confusing at first, but let us take you on a quick overview on why this family of water treatment solutions is the future of water infrastructure in Southern Africa.

NIROBOX family of solutions is the most flexible and intelligent range of water treatment solutions on the Southern African market, and we dare to claim, the African continent. Packaged in a compact containerised, the NIROBOX produces clean drinking water to rural and urban communities.

Housed in a 40ft Container

We first have to clarify what decentralised or packaged water treatment exactly is. Containerised treatment plants are sea containers that have water treatment equipment preinstalled. The benefit of a containerised water treatment plant is that it is an effective method of transporting a complete water treatment system to any location. Additionally, containerised solutions are a form of mobile wastewater treatment, so the plant can be reused and transported to a new location when necessary.
