Israeli firm to build second sewage treatment plant in Ethiopia
Aiming to provide a more efficient and reliable alternative to the aging septic systems of Addis Ababa, Israeli company Emefcy will be building an innovative sewage plant to serve a residential neighborhood in the Ethiopian capital.
The Caesarea-based firm is teaming up with partner TodayTomorrow Ventures Inc. in a
$400,000 deal to construct a wastewater treatment facility at the EPRI 1 condominium complex in Addis Ababa. In addition to treating half the sewage generated by the sprawling complex, which contains
32 buildings and 7,000 residents, the plant will generate recycled water capable of irrigating
the neighborhood’s landscape, the company said.
“This Emefcy plant is a model for the benefits we can deliver for the people of Ethiopia,” said Ilan Wilf, Emefcy’s vice president of sales. “At a low cost, untreated sewage can be turned into high-quality recycled water.”
The plant will utilize Emefcy’s Membrane Aerated Biofilm Reactor, an aeration-based technology capable of treating sewage while using 80% less energy than conventional plants and reducing sludge by up to 50%, according to the Company

OK thats $400.000 p.a. for an area with only 7.000 residents.
Ethiopia has an area of 1.100.000 km² or 420.000 sq mi, only 0.7% is water.
Pupulation 100.000.000 in 2016
Agriculture constitutes around 85% of the labour force.
NOW DO THE MATHS.
