The companies have also entered into joint venture and exclusive licensing agreement, under which Metito would offer the new system to Asian and African communities.

The patented pipe system uses a simple, eco-friendly method to treat wastewater in a pipe.

The wastewater then passes through a filtration stage to complete the treatment, following which the treated water can be used for organic farming, irrigation, underground aquifer injection or for release into lakes, rivers or sea or for storage in a clean water tank for use at a later stage.

The company claims that the biological wastewater treatment pipe does not produce sludge, odour, sound, or waste, thus making it an eco-friendly wastewater treatment process.

Biopipe system is claimed to offer wastewater treatment benefits, recycling and reuse to a wider network of audience with its ability to efficiently treat wastewater that gets generated at small scale range of individual houses to large scale of cities.

Metito managing director Fady Juez said: "The Biopipe wastewater treatment system really is a game changer. In an era when the world is looking to enhance water security and sustainability, enabling individuals to manage and treat their wastewater at an affordable cost is critical to widening the awareness of looking after our resources.

"Biopipe, is an intelligent wastewater treatment solution that can be easily installed in a house as well as integrated into a plant to service an entire city. This really is revolutionary and I am confident that Metito will help globalize Biopipe.

"We have the experience, the capabilities and the right network in place to drive this through and to ensure that Biopipe becomes more suitable for a wider range of applications in a variety of emerging markets, both in Asia and Africa."
