South Africa Water & Wastewater Treatment Market – Overview

Wastewater treatment refers to the process of removing contaminants from sewage or wastewater to make them recyclable, reusable, and acceptable to the environment. Various processes, such as phase separation, sedimentation, oxidation, biochemical oxidation, and chemical oxidation, are followed for treating wastewater. Several types of wastewater treatment plants have been established throughout South Africa to treat wastewater from multiple industries and sectors. They include sewage, tertiary, industrial wastewater, agriculture wastewater, and leachate treatment plants. Several industries, in the absence of in-house wastewater treatment plants, resort to using treated municipal wastewater for their operations.
