Where there is no connection to a central sewer, or where one would not pay off, the decentralised solution is the clean route. We bring CE-marked plants built to European standards to South America, supply the technical documentation for the permit and offer service contracts with clear terms. Scalable from 50 to 3,000 population equivalents (PE).
The ORKA grows with your municipality, from 50 to 3,000 PE. Start with the current load and expand in later phases when you need to, without touching what is already built. That way the plant is ready for the future, even if your town grows.
CE marking and EN standards
Complete plants of up to 50 PE carry the CE marking under EN 12566-3, the European test for small plants. The ORKA for larger municipalities is sized according to the European EN 12255 series of standards. In tender and permit procedures across South America, this is a clearly demonstrable quality point. We supply the CE and technical documentation for your tender documentation.
Predictable maintenance
Fixed annual maintenance visits make operating costs predictable, with no hidden items. Maintenance is carried out by a specialist company in your region following the AQUATO protocol or, where one exists, by a local partner. The measurement reports go straight into your compliance file.
Or train your own staff
For larger projects, especially with the ORKA, you can instead send your own technician for training at the AQUATO factory in Germany. The ORKA offer includes the flight, hotel, meals and about three days of training for one technician; for smaller plants, the trip is possible at extra cost. After that you run the plant yourself, with our support from Berlin.

Estimated net price. The final figure depends on what it costs to manufacture or build the tanks in your country.
The ORKA is sized to the project, from 50 to 3,000 PE. The figure is an estimate for an 80 PE plant, with a preliminary estimate of seven concrete tanks. We obtain quotes for the actual tank costs in your country. Sea freight, on-site assembly and permits are not included. Ask us for a specific offer for your case.
We send you the technical data sheets, the CE certificates for plants of up to 50 PE, the ORKA design documentation and the maintenance concept for preliminary assessment or tender on request.
In the first appointment we define the scope of your municipality's needs: population equivalents, possible locations, regulatory situation. We then coordinate the site visit with your public works department or your engineering firm. We reply within two working days.
