IMIESA Panel Discussion recently interviewed Anton Liebenberg in regards to the Muleby System Tank.
 Q. Can you give me a brief overview of Aquadam’s Muleby System Tank for the municipal and industrial sectors, i.e. how long have the tanks been around, where did the concept originate, dimensions of the tanks, type of materials used in the production of the tanks, durability, etc?
A. Aquadam’s Muleby System Tank originated in Muleby in Belgium with the MST1. The Muleby Tank system is a prefabricated, modular concrete tank. This tank uses the old technology of pre-stressing and post-tensioning. For the first time in South Africa, pre-stress and post-tension is used in unison, making use of concrete best asset as it functions best under pressure. High quality pre-cast, pre-stressed elements are placed on a site -pecific, cast in situ concrete floor. Polyethylene-coated post-tension cables are fed through the elements and post-tensioned in the horizontal direction to pressures in excess of 135 KN. These tensions are calculated for the tanks’ specific application.

What the Green Energy Efficiency Fund will achieve
Energy Efficiency is a MUST for South African companies based on the high increases in electricity prices.
Investments are encouraged in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects aimed at improving energy efficiency through reduced energy consumption facilitating South Africa's transition towards a low-carbon economy. The energy and related cost savings will drive improved production capacity, operational effectiveness and competitiveness resulting in job creation.
The Green Energy Efficiency Fund supports the introduction of small scale renewable energy technologies and will ultimately continue contributing to global climate protection while supporting South Africa's economic development and growth.
