Abstract

Company news Anti Scale Corrosion Inhibitor Biocide Cleaning & Pre-film Agent 1. 2. 3. F armers in the Overberg are now assured of water of the highest quality following the official inaugura­ tion of the new ultrafiltration plant near Swellendam. The 800 000 ℓ/day UF facility, designed and constructed by local firm Ikusasa Water, was erected at Overberg Water’s Rûensveld Oos water purification plant. This plant treats highly coloured Cape brown water from the Theewaters­ kloof Dam for use by farmers and other rural users. Overberg Water Chairman Joe Emeran, pictured with Ikusasa Water Chairman Andrew Theunissen, praised the staff of Overberg Water for their commitment to good governance. He said that it was only through public­private partnerships that South Africa can move forward and provide citizens with better services as it was within the private sector that funds were available for innovation research and development. It is exactly with such a partnership that the UF facility came to be, noted Theunissen.
