Bluewater Bio expands into South Africa

Bluewater Bio International, the provider of a high-performance yet highly cost-effective proprietary wastewater treatment process called HYBACS, is pleased to announce that it has signed an exclusive representation agreement in South Africa via a license agreement with Headstream Water Holdings (“Headstream”). The agreement is for an initial three year period and the license can be extended for further two year periods in perpetuity if Headstream achieves certain sales targets.

Headstream is looking at projects nationally in South Africa and the initial focus will be on restoring performance and upgrading plants in particularly stressed areas and on private sector operated plants serving mining communities. There are three projects under consideration in the North West Province and one in Mpumalanga, in the north eastern part of the country. HYBACS is particularly attractive in these regions because it avoids large civil works and can provide up to 50% energy savings which is a major issue in South Africa. Headstream is currently negotiating a co-operation agreement with the largest independent operator of wastewater plants in South Africa.
