He added that saving the environment from polluted water is vital for the development of a country like Rwanda which is developing at a high speed. “We offer advanced biological treatment systems and use the technologies of sequential Batch Reactor and Aerated submerged film which allow adaptive solutions to a variety of effluents and the discharge standards required by their receiving environments,” he noted. “The treated waste water will be used in the construction industry and in gardens because they are odour free and hygienic”. According to Robert Bayigamba, the chairman of the PSF, domestic waste water treatment and universal solar power management system is innovative appropriate technology.“We have to use the opportunity and have this kind of technology to enhance the development of the country,” he said.
