Econet and Epse designed a new industrial wastewater treatment plant for Kazakhstan
The project marks a significant milestone in water treatment solutions for Central Asia.
Water industry contractor Econet Oy and Epse Oy, specialising in treating harmful and hazardous wastewater from industrial and mining processes, have jointly designed a new industrial wastewater reuse facility for a Kazakh industrial company, Econet announced.
According to Econet, the project represents a significant milestone in industrial water treatment solutions in Central Asia. The project builds on a full-scale pilot test conducted in 2023. The plant was designed in 2024, and the investment is expected to commence in 2025.
– This project is a critical step for both us and Epse. It leverages innovative technology and directly addresses Kazakhstan’s growing water management challenges. In regions where raw water sources are scarce, the need for sustainable and efficient water treatment solutions is immense, says Mika Kärkkäinen, Business Director at Econet.
Partnership with KazCenter
In April 2024 Econet announced the conclusion of a partnership agreement with KazCenter, a housing and communal services development company in Kazakhstan.
The partnership agreement, signed on 11 April in Astana, covers technology transfer, the framework for cooperation and a timetable for using Econet’s wastewater treatment technology in Kazakhstan’s future water projects. The partnership agreement includes also a roadmap for the production of equipment for wastewater treatment plants in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan has announced plans to improve wastewater treatment in its cities and municipalities by building 69 new wastewater treatment plants over the next few years.
