Water Treatment in Africa – Africhem’s Expanding Role in Sustainable Industrial Solutions
As industries across Africa continue to grow, so does the demand for sustainable, efficient water treatment solutions. Africhem, already well-established in the mining chemical space, is stepping up to address this need with a comprehensive portfolio of water treatment chemicals and services.
Water is a critical component in both industrial and municipal systems — from cooling towers and boilers to drinking water and effluent treatment plants. However, many African industries face challenges such as poor water quality, lack of proper infrastructure, and rising environmental regulations. Africhem’s water treatment division is designed to respond directly to these challenges with practical, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solutions.
“We view water treatment not just as a service, but as a responsibility to people and the planet.”

Comprehensive, End-to-End Solutions
With a strong regional footprint in 17 countries, Africhem offers tailored water treatment programs that include coagulants, flocculants, biocides, scale inhibitors, and pH adjusters. The company also provides dosing equipment, testing tools, and on-site technical training to ensure long-term success and compliance.
What sets Africhem apart is its end-to-end approach. Rather than supplying chemicals alone, Africhem works with clients to assess water quality, identify pain points, design treatment protocols, and implement full systems. The result is a noticeable improvement in water quality, system longevity, and environmental safety.
Sustainability at the Core
As sustainability becomes a growing priority for industries across Africa, Africhem is committed to being part of the solution — enabling clients to optimize water use, reduce waste, and operate responsibly in an increasingly regulated world.
“Clean water is good business. Sustainable water is great business.”
