Most industrial semi-or untreated effluent is traditionally discharged directly into the sewers of local authorities or a nearby stream, placing severe pressure on natural water courses or local effluent plants. This results in costly capital outlay for the extension of facilities and interest to accommodate this additional load. Most industries consider only their primary production goals while disregarding the importance of effluent treatment. Despite the risk of penalties or prosecution, they often do not have the expertise to operate their plans effectively. Pressure from Government, nature conservation groups and the country's limited water resources have however drastically changed this situation over recent years. Industries have not only been forced to conserve and re-use water in their processes, but also to take responsibility for operating and maintaining their effluent treatment facilities with greater care.

Local authorities also risk prosecution for polluting their catchment areas and have adopted a harder line against source polluters.

Several companies have for many years been involved with the delegated management and maintenance of domestic effluent plants but more stringent requirements and regulations have now created an urgent need for the specialised operation of industrial effluent plants.

In view of this, ENVIRO METSI was founded by a group of people who have had years of practical experience in the field of various effluent treatment processes. The main objective (though not limited to) of the company is the operation and maintenance of industrial and domestic water & effluent treatment plants with the equally important goals of environmental conservation and the preservation of our diminishing natural water resources.
