Their approach combines wet process equipment for liquid treatment with air pollution control system equipment to manage odors and emissions, ensuring factories stay compliant and neighbors stay happy.
Consider their work with a cocoa processing plant in Mouila. The plant once struggled with high BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) levels in its discharge, threatening local streams. EcoTreat installed a wet process system that uses anaerobic digestion to break down organic waste, producing biogas that now powers the plant's boilers. "We turned their wastewater problem into an energy solution," says Sophie Mboma, EcoTreat's project manager. "They've cut their electricity bills by 40% and eliminated discharge fees."
What clients love most about EcoTreat is their hands-on support. After installation, their team stays for 6 months to train staff, and a 24/7 hotline ensures quick responses to issues. For businesses balancing profitability and sustainability, this partnership is invaluable.
4. Gabon CleanTech
Mining is the backbone of Gabon's economy, but it's also one of the most water-intensive industries. Gabon CleanTech specializes in heavy-duty wastewater treatment for mines, where acidic runoff and high mineral content require equipment that can withstand harsh conditions. Their lineup includes rugged filter press equipment and dry process equipment built to handle everything from iron ore to manganese processing waste.
A standout example is their "MegaPress" filter press, designed to process up to 500 cubic meters of sludge per day. Unlike standard presses, the MegaPress uses reinforced steel frames and corrosion-resistant plates to handle acidic wastewater—a common issue in Gabon's uranium and manganese mines. "We tested it for two years in a remote iron ore site near Franceville," says technical lead Paul Essono. "It operated through monsoons and power outages, and still met discharge standards."
Gabon CleanTech also offers dry process equipment for mines looking to reduce water usage. Their "DrySep" system uses mechanical separation and heat to treat wastewater, producing dry cake waste that can be safely landfilled or repurposed. For mining giants like Eramet, this means lower water consumption and a smaller environmental footprint—key for maintaining social licenses to operate.
5. Rio Wastewater Services
Gabon's oil and gas sector, centered in Port-Gentil, faces unique wastewater challenges: salty, hydrocarbon-laden water from drilling operations, and strict regulations to protect marine life in the Gulf of Guinea. Rio Wastewater Services has become the go-to supplier here, offering both onshore and offshore effluent treatment machine equipment that meets international standards.
Their "OffshoreGuard" system is a game-changer: a compact, skid-mounted unit that uses water process equipment to remove oil, heavy metals, and chemicals from drilling wastewater. The treated water is either reused in operations or discharged with oil content below 15 ppm—well under Gabon's 20 ppm limit. "An offshore rig west of Port-Gentil was struggling with disposal costs until they installed OffshoreGuard," notes Rio's sales director, Yves Ngoua. "Now they reuse 80% of their wastewater, saving $50,000 monthly in transport fees."
Rio's ability to adapt to offshore conditions—vibration-resistant machinery, corrosion-proof materials—has made them a trusted partner for companies like TotalEnergies and Perenco. Their local team in Port-Gentil provides 24/7 support, ensuring minimal disruption to critical operations.
6. Sustainable Systems Gabon
Small-scale industries—think furniture workshops, auto repair shops, and local textile makers—often fall through the cracks when it comes to wastewater treatment. Sustainable Systems Gabon (SSG) is on a mission to change that, offering modular, affordable solutions that grow with businesses. Their core products include compact granulator with dry separator units for solid waste and wet process equipment for liquid effluents, all designed to fit in tight spaces.
For a furniture factory in Libreville, SSG installed a granulator to process sawdust and a wet process system to treat dye-contaminated water from wood staining. The granulator's dry separator recovers usable wood particles for fuel, while the wet system uses natural coagulants to remove dyes, allowing water to be reused for cleaning. "The owner now spends 70% less on water and has a new revenue stream selling wood pellets," says SSG's founder, Amina Bongo. "Small businesses don't need big budgets to be green—they need smart designs."
SSG's "Pay-As-You-Grow" model is another hit: clients start with a basic system and add modules as their business expands. This flexibility has made them popular among startups and entrepreneurs, who often can't afford large upfront investments. In Gabon's dynamic small business landscape, SSG is proving that sustainability is for everyone.
7. Delta Water Processors
Gabon's agricultural sector—from rubber plantations to coffee farms—relies on water, but it also produces wastewater loaded with pesticides, fertilizers, and crop residues. Delta Water Processors specializes in turning this challenge into an opportunity, with water process equipment that recovers nutrients and treats water for reuse. Their star product? A filter press equipment designed to dewater agricultural sludge, producing nutrient-rich cake that's perfect for soil amendment.
In a palm oil plantation outside Gamba, Delta installed a filter press that processes 10,000 liters of wastewater daily. The press separates oil residues and solids, which are then mixed with compost to create a high-nitrogen fertilizer. "The plantation now uses this fertilizer on young palms, reducing their need for chemical inputs by 35%," says Thomas Obame, Delta's agribusiness specialist. "It's a closed-loop system that benefits both the farm and the environment."
Delta's focus on circularity has earned them partnerships with major agribusinesses like Olam and Socfin. Their equipment is built to handle the seasonal fluctuations in wastewater volume, ensuring consistent performance whether it's the rainy season or the dry season.
