Rand Technical Services becomes sole distributor for EEC in South Africa.

Rand Technical Services (RTS) has announced that it is now the sole South African distributor for US-based EEC Global Operation in South Africa. RTS will focus on distributing the EEC Bio Tec Effluent Treatment Plant in Southern Africa, which has many applications for, amongst others, rural areas, schools, clinics and municipalities.

According to RTS managing director, Ian Fraser, the EEC Bio Tec offers numerous benefits in southern Africa, where there is a desperate need for properly treated, clean, drinking and irrigation water, particularly in the rural areas. “Not only does the EEC system occupy less space than other mobile effluent treatment plants, but it also requires a minimum amount of maintenance. It is a very affordable capital investment and operating costs are low.” He makes the point that the system has 10 times the loading capacity in less than one fifth the space compared to conventional plants.

The system is pre-fabricated and mounted in ISO freight containers for easy transportation to any location. In addition, it features fully-automatic operation, is reliable and robust, and has one central control panel for easy operation.

“Water challenges are a global problem, and there is certainly widespread concern over the shortage of properly treated water in southern Africa. An affordable solution is also required, since in many cases limited financial resources are available,” says Fraser. “The EEC system has a number of features that make it ideal for South Africa, especially in remote locations such as rural areas. For instance, the unit is self-cleaning and has a clog and plug-free air system with no backwashing.

“We believe this affordable, easily mobile system is ideal for the South African market and will be perfectly suited to rural communities, schools, clinics and hotels. It may also be used for remote construction locations – the sky is the limit in terms of applications. Overseas, the system has been used at universities, shopping centres, airports, hospitals, golf clubs, parks, and prisons. It is also used at industrial plants for food and beverage, pulp and paper, refineries, wineries and pharmaceutical.”

RTS says that it has already taken delivery of the first shipment of the EEC Bio Tec, and looks forward to distributing this multipurpose system to the South African market.
