Smart, flexible, decentralized water treatment

Objective

Although in EU countries, the access to sanitation is universal in urban areas, Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA), all belonging to the European WHO Region, lack adequate access to water services. Indeed, more than 4.3 million people still rely on surface water as their primary source, posing severe risks to health. 90% of people using surface water live in rural locations. The main reason of this inequality is of economic nature. Given the low economic capacity of the mentioned areas in public infrastructure, the investments in water services are addressed at the highly populated areas.
Ayala is a SME company with 8 employees whose mission is to bring the knowledge in the field of phytoremediation to an operative level by creating tools to restore balance to the environment employing natural mechanisms without consuming energy. With this goal, we aim to developed a modular Natural Biological System™ (M-NBS), a sustainable natural technology for treating sewage and waste streams, rehabilitating affected water bodies and rebalancing watersheds. The system, which has been successfully applied NBS in more than 100 large scale natural sanitation and remediation projects as non-mobile unit, is based on a proprietary phytoremediation technology capable to treat 7 to 70 m3 water/day per cubic meter of the system depending on the water pollution level.
Our goal is to achieve a market penetration for M-NBS in Eastern European and neighboring countries so that we manage to service 5 % of 62 million people in the region without access to sanitation Europe in the next 5 years.
