Solaxis Service
Water Treatment
Solaxis uses our skills in Solar energy to power our various kinds of water and wastewater treatment for Africa. Our partners like Aquel Bohemia provide modules ranging from few litres for a single home to thousands of metric tons for cities and villages.
Clean Water is Essential for Life
Clean, safe water is essential for life and good health. Water and wastewater treatment plants remove impurities, solids, organisms, chemicals, and toxins from water and wastewater so that it is safe for people, animals, and the environment.
Water Treatment Operations at Solaxis
Water Treatment Plants
Treat water and distribute it to customers in various packages and bottles.
Wastewater Plants
Return cleaned water to rivers, lakes, and oceans using modern technology.
Laboratory Testing
Collect samples and perform routine laboratory tests for quality assurance.
Emergency Response
Trained operators handle floods, leaks, and other emergency situations.
Our Trained Operators
Our trained operators run the equipment and control the processes that clean and treat water and wastewater at treatment plants. The exact duties depend on the size of the plant — in small plants, one person may run and service equipment, make repairs, perform tests, and keep records. In large plants, operators monitor specific processes with multiple pieces of equipment.
Operators monitor meters and gauges, maintain pumps, engines, and generators that move sewage through primary, secondary, and tertiary processes. They ensure water has been properly disinfected, collect samples, and perform routine laboratory tests.
Water and wastewater treatment plants at Solaxis operate by specific regulatory standards reflected in the treatment plant permit. Operators must know and abide by the guidelines of the Clean Water Act and Safe Drinking Water Act.
Using modern solar-powered technology, our water and wastewater treatment plants help provide clean water for homes and industries, prevent disease, protect fish and wildlife from pollution, and protect the environment.
Working Hours
Operators usually work 8-12 hours a day, 40+ hours a week. Since plants need an operator present 24 hours a day, operators may work different shifts and rotate holiday/weekend work. In emergencies like equipment failure, they often work overtime.
Education & Training
We seek and hire applicants with at least a high school diploma. Several colleges in Africa offer associate degrees or certificates in water quality and wastewater technology. Those with this background have better chances for advancement.
Training Subjects at Solaxis
Subjects offered by Solaxis agencies and educational institutions in Africa include:
Certification & Licenses
Every country has national standards for water and wastewater treatment written by their federal Environmental Protection Agency or equivalent organs. All 56 countries in Africa require operators to pass a certification examination.
We hire only those with higher levels of certification that qualify to oversee a wider variety of treatment processes. Certification typically requires educational development, experience in the field, and passing an exam.
Plants are built from our suggested designs to ensure the best quality water for people to drink in Africa. We deal with each country according to their regulations and also improve on some to ensure safe drinking water and safe cleaned water for fish and other animals in the rivers.
At Solaxis, we're committed to addressing the water crisis in Africa through solar-powered water treatment solutions that are sustainable, efficient, and compliant with international standards.
