Murray & Roberts Water and Osmoflo (an Australian-based company) concluded a Memorandum of Agreement to offer emergency desalination plants to the Southern African market. Harry Singleton, Operations Executive, Murray & Roberts Water comments: “Osmoflo has a business model built around supplying water treatment solutions during emergency situations and owning assets that can be rapidly deployed.

These plants are currently being offered to the City of Cape Town and other coastal municipalities to assist with the challenging conditions residents are facing.”

Osmoflo has one of the largest fleet of emergency water treatment equipment, ranging from sea water and brackish water desalination plants, filtration, wastewater and chemical dosing plants, as well as other ancillary plant to compliment any emergency water requirement. The plants are strategically located around the globe to ensure rapid deployment to meet the demands of fast track projects.

“The scope of emergency assets Murray & Roberts Water can provide through this agreement with Osmoflo includes four 7,000m3/day sea water desalination plants that are immediately available to the drought stricken areas of South Africa. Each plant can provide potable water to more than 40 000 people daily”, continues Singleton.

Bobby Watson, Rental Manager, Osmoflo added: “We are aware of the dire situation facing some municipalities in South Africa and we have the equipment available to provide immediate potable water assistance. Our partnership with Murray & Roberts Water ensures that a credible partner is able to offer these water treatment options to potential clients as a turnkey solution with local accountability.”

Murray & Roberts Water & Osmoflo will be offering similar solutions to the South African mining sector that will include Osmoflo’s patented Brine Squeezer® technology, which offers high recovery mine water treatment.
