AR Africa Trial Services

Pillars:

We undertake laboratory and site trials showcasing cutting-edge technologies in water and wastewater treatment. These trials are designed to demonstrate the effectiveness and adaptability of our supplier unit operations in real-world conditions, helping our clients assess their value for specific operational or environmental needs.

Our offerings include but are not limited to:

  • Electrocoagulation (EC): An advanced, chemical-free treatment process that uses electric current to remove contaminants such as heavy metals, suspended solids, oils, and other organics from wastewater with high efficiency.
  • Nanobubble Aeration (Air, Oxygen, Ozone, Carbon Dioxide): A next-generation aeration technology that enhances gas transfer using ultra-fine bubbles. This allows for low energy and cost effective water and wastewater treatment solutions.
  • Microbial monitoring (Coliforms and E.coli) using Microbium MPN analyser and Aquatest to either qualitatively and / or quantitively measure E.coli and coliforms present. This allows for rapid results giving early warnings of contamination or continued disinfection.
  • Nano filtration and reverse osmosis: Using specialty elements for proof of concept difficult water treatment such as a colour removal, dealcoholisation, oil removal and protein separation
  • Filtration: Using self-cleaning strainers at various micron ratings for the removal of suspended solids.

These trials are structured to provide data-driven insights, enabling our clients to evaluate performance outcomes such as contaminant reduction, system scalability, operational costs, and regulatory compliance. Whether the client is addressing wastewater challenges, seeking improved aeration efficiency, or enhancing your microbial testing protocols, our pilot programs offer a practical pathway to assess innovative solutions before full-scale implementation.

Let’s discuss your site conditions and objectives so we can tailor the trial to your specific needs.

To support our clients, AR Africa has introduced a series of additional services designed to add value to the day-to-day operations of our clients. With simple services we hope to improve the bottom line by primarily reducing risks in the day-to-day operation of water treatment. We believe this will result in operational savings and save the environment by reducing the amount of consumption in the long term. Each small step towards a circular economy will reduce waste and the need for fresh and new materials to be injected into the water life cycle.
