They emphasized the significance of building wastewater resilience in South Africa and presented case studies on wastewater recycling by companies like Sasol, Veolia, and eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality. Professor Magne Sydnes of the University of Bergen shared research on utilizing photodecomposition to reduce pharmaceuticals in wastewater. The seminar celebrated innovators in wastewater management, with MatiTech Solutions introducing Green UltraPureTM Hydrogen Peroxide generation, a green solution that decomposes into oxygen and water, leaving no harmful byproducts. Advanced anaerobic digestion through the Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) was highlighted as an effective solution for converting organic material into biogas and producing Class A1 complaint sludge. Agriman showcased their process of processing wastewater sludge into a registered granular organic fertilizer product, meeting the increasing demand for carbon-rich organic materials in agriculture. The event underscored the importance of sustainable wastewater management practices and the role of innovative technologies in achieving environmental and economic benefits.
