Twellium’s Burkina Faso factory includes wastewater treatment, Oct 2026

On 28 October 2026, 3News reported that Twellium Industrial Company Limited operates a factory at Samagan near Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, producing beverages and bottle preforms, caps and carbon dioxide, with laboratory testing and wastewater treatment facilities. The report identified wastewater treatment among the site’s operating infrastructure but did not disclose its treatment capacity or discharge performance. 3News

Key takeaways

• Twellium’s Burkina Faso factory is at Samagan near Bobo-Dioulasso and produces beverages while also making bottle preforms, caps and carbon dioxide. 3News
• The site includes laboratory testing and wastewater treatment facilities, according to the company. 3News
• Twellium began production in Ghana in 2014 and now operates factories in Ghana, Burkina Faso and Senegal. 3News
• The company’s Ghana operation includes an effluent treatment plant intended to treat wastewater before it is returned to the environment. 3News
• The report did not provide the Burkina Faso plant’s wastewater flow, treatment capacity, contaminant concentrations or compliance results. 3News

What happened

Twellium was founded by Hussein Kesserwani and Hassan Kesserwani in 2013, with production beginning the following year in Ghana. Ghana remains the company’s base, with manufacturing facilities in the Accra area and Kumasi, and the business later expanded beyond bottled water and soft drinks into biscuits, wafers, cookies and cakes. 3News

The company now operates factories in Ghana, Burkina Faso and Senegal, with the Burkina Faso facility located at Samagan near Bobo-Dioulasso. According to Twellium, the site produces beverages and also makes bottle preforms, caps and carbon dioxide, alongside laboratory testing and wastewater treatment facilities. 3News

The report also described an effluent treatment plant at Twellium’s Ghana operation, intended to treat wastewater before it is returned to the environment. It did not identify the technology, rated flow, treatment stages or operating performance of either facility. 3News

For plant managers and procurement teams, the reported significance is operational rather than a disclosed expansion award: the Samagan site is identified as having wastewater treatment in place, but no tender value, procurement package, commissioning date or upgrade scope was reported. 3News

Specification Read

The scale of wastewater treatment at the Samagan plant was not reported, so a defensible conversion to m³/day or population equivalent cannot be made from the supplied information. The article also did not state the plant’s wastewater flow, BOD or COD concentrations, discharge standard, treatment technology or required throughput. 3News

For a beverage factory, a wastewater plant is commonly scoped around screening, primary solids removal, biological treatment, and tertiary treatment or disinfection where discharge requirements require them; dissolved-air flotation may be included where oil and high-solids streams are relevant. The reported event specifically concerns the presence of wastewater treatment at a beverage-production site, but the source does not establish which of those stages are installed at Samagan.

If your plant looks like a beverage-processing facility with a wastewater flow in m³/day, BOD and COD in mg/L, bottle and preform production, and compliance pressure on its discharge route, this report means that treatment is part of the operating-site scope, while equipment selection and capacity remain open until the flow, load and permit requirements are confirmed. Food and beverage wastewater treatment is the relevant application page for further scoping, and the comparison with petroleum-plant applications can help define test questions for clarification and flotation duty.

FAQ

1. What treatment capacity does Twellium’s Burkina Faso wastewater plant have?

   The source does not report a design flow, actual flow or treatment capacity for the facility at Samagan near Bobo-Dioulasso. It confirms only that the site has wastewater treatment facilities. A buyer would therefore need the plant’s water balance, wastewater generation by shift and required treatment throughput before comparing equipment or pricing. 3News

2. What wastewater treatment technology is installed at the Burkina Faso factory?

   The report does not identify the process train at Samagan and provides no information on screening, primary clarification, biological treatment, flotation, tertiary treatment or disinfection. The only reported wastewater scope is the presence of treatment facilities at a site that also produces beverages, bottle preforms, caps and carbon dioxide. 3News

3. Is a wastewater treatment upgrade or tender associated with this expansion?

   No upgrade, tender, contract value or procurement schedule is reported in connection with the Burkina Faso facility. The source presents wastewater treatment as an existing part of the Samagan site, so any supplier inquiry would need to focus on the operator’s current performance, capacity gaps and replacement timetable rather than an assumed award. 3News

4. What information is needed before selecting a supplier for similar beverage-plant treatment?

   The missing inputs are design and peak flow in m³/day, BOD and COD in mg/L, production and cleaning schedules, discharge requirements, available footprint and the operator’s required delivery date. The reported source does not provide cost, lead time or supplier-selection criteria, so none can be inferred for this project. 3News
