BN Aqua SolutionsProviding innovative water solutions



education. Boitumelo Nkatlo
BN Aqua Solutions uses a metallurgical waste product to treat acidic water to potable stage. The treated acid mine water is then sold to mines to save on drinking water costs and reduces the mines’ dependency from the municipalities. As the operating mines are large consumers of drinking water, this increases municipalities’ water capacity and the country's water footprint. The custom-made packaged treatment plants will be built and set up onsite at the mines.
Partners
The University of Johannesburg is a South African University that has assisted BN Aqua Solutions with research and owns the intellectual property of the project.
