Valhalla Capital Partners signs joint venture agreement with a Finnish wastewater pioneer. South Africa based investment holding company, Valhalla Capital Partners has signed a Joint Venture Agreement (JV) with Finnish wastewater treatment technology pioneer EPSE Oy (Ltd.). The joint venture will start operations on 1 October 2024. The agreement was signed by Lesibana Fosu, CEO of Valhalla Capital Partners (Pty) Ltd and Jouni Jääskeläinen, CEO of EPSE Oy (Ltd.), which is based in Helsinki, Finland.

The agreement that was signed is for a JV that covers Africa, to disseminate EPSE’s innovative water treatment technology. Utilising the EPSE™ method, the technology will be used with local partners involved in water treatment solutions on the African continent. EPSE’s technology removes metals from water, creating recyclable water and environmentally friendly precipitate. The method can be applied to all wastewaters containing dissolved metals. Such effluents are typical byproducts of the continent’s robust mining and diverse industrial sectors.

In addition to Valhalla Capital Partners, the agreement includes the Finnish company EPSE and two other companies. They are Prosep, a water treatment company based in Johannesburg and Titan Resources, a Houston, Texas based mining consultancy led by Blaine Wilson who has worked globally in the mining industry and brings a wealth of knowledge on how water impacts mining and vice-versa.
