Divundu Potable Water Supply
60 m³/h potable water treatment plant for the settlement, surrounding rural areas and Bagani in the Divundu region of northern Namibia. Aquarius Consult cc was appointed as process consultant for the design, supervision and commissioning of the plant, and carried the process responsibility. The project was completed in 2015 and the plant is fully operational.
Helao Nafidi Sewage Treatment Plant
New sewage treatment plants of 3 Ml/day and 1.5 Ml/day in Oshikango and Ohangwena, respectively. Aquarius Consult cc was appointed as consultant for the design, supervision and handling of all procedures needed during and for the construction of these effluent treatment plants. The plant has been commissioned.
NAMIB POULTRY INDUSTRIES
Aquarius Consult conducted the process design at Namibia Poultry Industries (NPI) which currently treats effluent from their abattoir in Windhoek with a biological effluent treatment plant incorporating trickling filter technology, followed by further treatment in a reverse osmosis (RO) plant. The RO permeate is then reused as potable and process water in the abattoir. These effluent treatment plants have been very successful in reducing NPI’s waste footprint, as well as reducing their potable water requirement from NamWater. Aquarius Consult is also currently busy with the design of a brine recovery system as NPI does not have sufficient evaporation pond capacity to evaporate the entire brine volume.
NORTH-EASTERN PARKS
Aquarius Consult cc was appointed for the process design of containerised potable water treatment plants as part of the park management infrastructure at Khaudum and Sikeretti stations in Khaudum National Park and Shisinze station in Nkasa Lupala National Park for the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.

- Phase 2: Providing an additional treatment plant for treating 30 m3/d of Okapuka river water. Along with 20 m³/d of treated effluent from Phase 1, a total of 50 m3/d of final water will be produced.
- Phase 3: Providing a reverse osmosis (RO) plant for a feed of 50 m³/h to produce 42.5 m3/d of potable water (the balance, 7.5 m³/d is discarded as brine).
