According to water security specialists – Talbot – the new SANS 241 is more than just a standard. It redefines drinking water management and is a tool for managing risk in a water-scarce future

Industrial water security specialist Talbot has successfully commissioned a phase 2 water treatment plant at Pan African Resources’ Evander Gold Mine in Mpumalanga, doubling treatment capacity while maintaining uninterrupted operations in a live mining environment.

As water security rises to the top of South Africa’s industrial risk agenda, companies are being forced to rethink how they source, treat and reuse water, a shift that has shaped Talbot’s evolution.

Talbot, in partnership with Sovereign Foods, one of South Africa’s largest poultry producers, commissioned a water recovery and treatment facility in 2024 that delivers recovery levels exceeding international benchmarks for the food processing industry.
