Conder/EPS and our new partners, Biotech Solution Ltd (based in Lagos, Nigeria), have now installed the first sewage treatment systems in Lagos, including one at the Lagos State Wastewater Office.

The initial trade mission in May 2011 was undertaken by Patrick Buckley (Sales & Marketing Director at EPS Group), Jim Palmer (Tendering and Design Manager at EPS Group) and Sebastian Hunter (Export Sales Manager, Conder Environmental Solutions).

Patrick and Sebastian have both been on subsequent visits.  Presentations and meetings were undertaken with many local companies requiring treatment plants, including the Wastewater Office based in Lagos.

The local authorities have been impressed with the products offered and the professionalism of Conder/EPS/Biotech who now act as their official consultants.

The latest trip was undertaken to coordinate the installation and commissioning of the first shipment of four treatment plants that landed in Lagos in November 2011, including an NSAF40 system for the Wastewater Office itself.

The treatment plant was officially opened by the Commissioner of Lagos.
