AQUATO alliance
AQUATO Umwelttechnologien GmbH in Herford has been manufacturing biological wastewater treatment plants for the German and European market since 2007. Since 2012 Ektennsa has been an authorised AQUATO distributor for Chile, one of several authorised distributors, and is also active in other South American countries. The collaboration is well established, not improvised.
AQUATO Umwelttechnologien GmbH
AQUATO Umwelttechnologien GmbH is based at Ernstmeierstr. 24, 32052 Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia. Its managing director is Eckhard Bischoff, and the company was founded in 2007. AQUATO is a family business and builds biological wastewater treatment plants for the German and European market. As part of a family of companies present throughout Germany, AQUATO is one of the leading manufacturers of treatment plants for up to 3,000 inhabitants; more than 70,000 systems are in operation worldwide.
The portfolio covers the PUMP, STABI-KOM and ORKA series, as well as other processes (moving bed, fixed bed, soil filter). The small plants of up to 50 population equivalent carry CE marking according to EN 12566-3, the ORKA is dimensioned for larger projects according to the European standard series EN 12255, and all are integrated into the German initiative "Sicher mit System" of the BGHM, an industry standard for safe work on treatment plants.
Chile is one of the international reference markets that AQUATO itself recognises, alongside countries such as Poland, France, Sweden and Sri Lanka. Our alliance thus rests on the manufacturer's proven export record.
Three anchors of trust
AQUATO's complete plants of up to 50 population equivalent carry CE marking according to EN 12566-3, the European test for small wastewater treatment plants. It is based on type testing of treatment performance according to this standard. This forms a solid technical basis for approval processes in South America. On request, you receive the certificates for each model.
AQUATO manufactures the tanks in five of its own factories in Germany, in concrete and in high-strength plastic, the latter with up to 25 years' warranty. The supply chain is short and transparent, with no white-label products: AQUATO develops its own solutions, with identifiable technology, manufacturing and backing. Anyone who installs an AQUATO plant in South America can trace where the tank comes from at any time.
As part of our distribution alliance, there has been a PUMP demonstration plant in Chile since 2015. On request, it can be visited by property developers, municipalities and future partners. The technology is verified in the Chilean climate, not only in Germany.
Visit the plantContract status
Ektennsa GmbH has been an authorised AQUATO distributor for Chile since around 2012, one of several authorised distributors. If desired, the collaboration also extends to other South American countries. The contractual relationship is long-term.
For our customers in South America, this means: warranty handling, spare parts supply and training take place through a direct supply chain from Germany to South America, not through several intermediaries. When something needs to be clarified at the factory, both sides have known each other for more than ten years.
