At EARTHTEC AFRICA, we specialize in providing cutting-edge biotechnology products to remediate eutrophic water and acid mine drainage (AMD) challenges. Founded as a South Africa-based joint venture with our Germany-based principal, ASA Spezialenzyme GmbH, we bring decades of expertise and innovation to address critical environmental issues across Africa.
EARTHTEC AFRICA is proud to be a leader in the development and implementation of bioremediation technologies. Our Germany-based principal has been pioneering biotechnological solutions since 1991, and our South African joint venture leverages this extensive international experience to provide tailored water treatment solutions across Africa.
Our expertise
With a strong foundation in biological treatment processes, we focus on four key areas.
1. Eutrophic Water Remediation
Our innovative solutions target and reduce excessive nutrient levels in water bodies, helping restore ecological balance and protect aquatic life. We apply biological treatments that enhance the breakdown of pollutants, reducing harmful algal blooms and improving water quality.
2. Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Treatment
3. Water Treatment Plants
We build small scale, containerized, water treatment plants for provision of water to customers' specifications for placement in rural settlements, mines, etc.
4. Human Dignity Program
Dignity is close to Earthtec's heart!
We provide easy-to-use biological products for treatment of sewage in latrines, septic tanks, etc. for improving living conditions and air-quality in informal settlements, thus contributing to overall health conditions in these particular environments.
Proudly South African EARTHTEC AFRICA is committed to making a meaningful impact on the environment through the power of biological innovation. Together, we can work toward restoring the health of our water resources and creating a cleaner, more sustainable Africa.
