We are so excited to announce our next project in Jakarta, Indonesia, with a signature address being located right next to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel that is under construction. This 2,000 cubic meters per day Organica Water Reclamation Facility will treat and recycle wastewater from this prestigious commercial and residential mixed use development, Thamrin Nine, located in the center of the city – Thamrin Central Business District will be opened in 2022.

Thamrin Nine WRF is an excellent example how wastewater treatment can be transformed into Water Resource Gardens and a testimonial that wastewater treatment plants can be much more than an unpleasant necessity; as an integrated, botanical-garden like element of the cities serving sustainable needs of dense urban areas.

Organica Water has signed its latest contract to implement the Food Chain Reactor (FCR) solution through its local partner, PJLEnviro, for a greenfield wastewater treatment plant for Kendal Industrial Park in the Central Java Province of Indonesia. The first phase of 4,000 m3/day (from an ultimate capacity of 18,000 m3/day) is planned to be commissioned by Q4 2022. With this new contract, Organica has strengthened its position as a market leader in the Industrial Park segment in Indonesia. This project confirms and highlights again the key differentiators of the FCR solution: energy & space efficiency, and its odor-free botanical garden like appearance.

We are excited to announce our recently signed project in the heart of Cape Town, South Africa, at the prestigious V&A Waterfront, one of the main tourist spots in the city. The Organica Water Resource Recovery Facility will contribute to the sustainability and water conservation of one of the most waterstressed cities in the world, providing a new “localized” reclaimed water stream, while preserving other existing and scarce water sources.

Organica, through its local partner in the region, Hidroinzeniring, will be implementing the Food Chain Reactor (FCR) solution in the new Umag and Novigrad WWTPs, with a combined capacity of 18,500 m3/d.

Winning these EU-funded public tenders is a major milestone for Organica, confirming once again the competitiveness and added value of Organica´s energy and space efficient, odor-free botanical garden wastewater treatment solution.

Indonesia’s strong commitment for a greener and more sustainable future is reflected in choosing Organica’s Solution for a new wastewater treatment plant. Organica technology is chosen for the first ever centralized municipal wastewater treatment facility that will be built in the city of Pekanbaru located in Riau province of Sumatra Island. The WWTP along with the piping network plant will be financed by ADB under the Metropolitan Sanitation Management Investment Project (MSMIP) program for Indonesia.

This year Organica was selected into the Cleantech 100 list again.

The “Company of the Year” award (Organica won this in 2013) is one of the most coveted recognition a company can get in the CleanTech industry.
