Following the opening of its representative branch in the Dubai Airport Free Zone last year, German manufacturer ACO has been actively involved in supporting existing distributors and its customers whilst introducing and promoting the new product ranges under the ACO Group.

The company is currently promoting its extensive range of wastewater treatment systems in the region.
“As a world leader in the manufacture and supply of corrosion resistant polymer concrete and stainless steel surface drainage systems ACO products have been supplied over many years to more than 200 prestigious projects around the Middle East,” says ACO Group export director Keith Lambourne.
“ACO surface drainage systems are used wherever the removal or containment of surface liquids is paramount.
“Industries generating wastewater have to ensure that with the aid of appropriate pre-treatment installations substances or liquids capable of spreading harmful solids or noxious vapours do not have the opportunity to damage or affect any other material or system within the building especially underground pipework,” he adds.
“ACO’s biological, chemical and mechanical wastewater treatment systems have a process designed to protect the environment by the separation of organic oils and fats from wastewater using either a biological process or alternatively by use of flotation, filtration or sedimentation.
“ACO Biocompact units are produced for the purification and nitrification of domestic wastewater from houses, small workshops, petrol stations, apartment buildings, office buildings and hotels.
These cost-effective systems combine the advantages of ease of installation with low maintenance costs.
The group’s innovative range of products also includes ACO stainless steel and polyethylene free standing and ground installed grease separators, stainless steel pipework systems and ground-installed concrete petrol separators.
ACO has also introduced its Maripur system for wastewater treatment in ships and marine structures which uses a process of biological treatment that operates with submerged low pressure micro-filtration membranes acting as barriers to the activated sludge as well as bacteria and viruses, he adds.
