Two years ago, Pureco-Unit Consortium started its first major investment in Africa in the city of Kumasi, Ghana. A unique solution for the treatment of the city’s untreated wastewater was designed and built under the name, Septopure technology.

The Kumasi Wastewater Treatment Plant was designed and built by the Pureco-Unit Consortium for one of Ghana’s largest private groups, the Jospong Group of Companies. The Hungarian EXIM bank provided a unique type of financing for the project in the form of buyer’s credit, that is, a loan to the Ghanaian partner that made the implementation and the daily work effective and also ensured a stable financial return. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade provided stable economic and diplomatic backing for the project.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of Hon. Mrs Cecilia Abena Dapaah, Ghanaian Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, in her speech underlined the importance of the excellent business, professional and human partnership between Ghana and Hungary. The Minister also praised the environmental and health benefits of the project, which will reduce surface and groundwater pollution and the incidence of diseases caused by contaminated drinking water. Furthermore, it will improve sanitation and significantly reduce the country’s ecological footprint.  Thanks to the new plant, Ghana will significantly contribute to the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
