Horizon Agencies & Commercial Services (HACS) Sana’a, sole agents for BIOKUBE, organized a seminar on ‘Reuse of waste water’ emphasizing the need to recycle and save our limited water reserves, at the Movienpick on Wednesday, 10th of March.
 
Mr. Mikkel Morville, Deputy CEO of BIOKUBE and Sales Manager for the Middle East region flew in from Denmark to speak for the seminar.
 
He spoke about the various systems that BIOKUBE offers to treat waste water generating in different scenarios how it can be efficiently reused avoiding its wastage. He explained each one of the systems available, from Small Systems for household purposes to Big Systems and Mobile Systems suited for factories and oil refineries etc.
 
He stated the basic technology behind these filters replicates and follows the principles of nature, use of microbes to breakdown harmful organic waste present in the water. These filters are ECO-Friendly and Energy saving units. More over these filtering units do not need continuous supply of electricity and have minimum energy consumption.
 
Considering the high water scarcity situation throughout Yemen, these filtering units would prove to be a mile stone in saving and reusing the available water resources in the cities and the remote areas. These systems would benefit agriculture industry highly too. An example of implementation of BIOKUBE in Yemen is the installation of one of these systems at the TOTAL E & P Yemen a petroleum company, wherein they are successfully reusing the treated waste water at the plant.
 
“Many parts of Yemen suffer from water scarcity and by adopting wastewater cleaning system would save a lot of water” said Ihab Jaffer Hamed, the executive managing director of Horizon.
 
There is now coordination between the Ministry of Water and Environment and Horizon to adopt the BIOKUBE system in which wastewater is biologically cleaned by special system designed for the treatment of sewage water, according to Hamed.
 
BIOKUBE was setup in 2003 to meet up with the requirements of European Union countries that insisted on service water being treated.
