An advanced compact domestic sewage treatment system that recovers and recycles greywater and wastewater for all non-potable uses. Designed and manufactured by Shahbaz Group.
Integrated multi-stage treatment
Sedimentation · Filtration · Bio-media · UV guard - tuned for daily household loads
AQUVERA is a compact domestic treatment unit engineered to recover greywater from showers, sinks and laundry. Its staged clarification, filtration and bio-reactive media remove solids and odors, delivering clear non-potable water for irrigation and flushing. Typical households can save up to 40% on water usage.
Sewage enters the central chamber where extended aeration starts.
Ultrasonic energy accelerates digestion and reduces sludge volume.
Effluent moves to the outer zone where solids settle and return via airlift.
Final disinfection yields clear, safe water suitable for reuse.

By recycling up to 97 percent of wastewater, AQUVERA reduces demand for freshwater and minimizes pollution of groundwater and surface water. The solar-assisted biological process supports carbon-neutral operation and aligns with Dubai Municipality goals for water recycling.
Imagine standing in your backyard on a sweltering summer afternoon, watching your garden wilt under the relentless sun, only to realize that the hose you’re about to grab is fed by municipal water that’s been piped in from hundreds of miles away precious, treated, and billed by the gallon. Now picture this: that same garden blooming vibrantly, irrigated not by that imported lifeline but by water recycled right from your own home’s “waste” stream, the soapy runoff from your morning shower or the rinse from your dishwasher. This isn’t some distant dream from a sci-fi novel; it’s the everyday reality unlocked by AQUVERA, a groundbreaking domestic wastewater treatment system that’s redefining how we think about water in our homes and offices. Born from years of tinkering in labs and field tests across arid landscapes from the sun-baked suburbs of Southern California to the water-stressed villas of the Mediterranean AQUVERA isn’t just another gadget on the market. It’s a quiet revolution, a compact, solar-assisted powerhouse that turns the black flow of household greywater into a clear, reusable resource. As someone who’s spent two decades knee-deep in water engineering, from designing municipal plants to advising eco-conscious homeowners, I’ve seen my share of filters and flocculators. But AQUVERA? It feels like the missing link, blending bio-mimicry with smart engineering to make sustainability as seamless as flipping a light switch.
At its core, AQUVERA operates like a miniature ecosystem tucked into a sleek, polyethylene tank no larger than a standard rain barrel about 1,000 liters capacity, designed to handle the daily output of a four-person household without breaking a sweat. Installation is deceptively straightforward: hoist it into a discreet corner of your yard or utility room using basic chains and a small crane (as those on-site photos capture so vividly), connect it to your home’s greywater lines from sinks, showers, and laundry, and let gravity and a whisper of solar power do the rest. The magic unfolds in stages, starting with a pre-treatment vortex chamber that swirls away solids and oils, mimicking the natural eddy of a river bend to prevent clogs before they even form. From there, the water cascades into the biological heart a chamber alive with engineered microbial consortia, those tiny workhorses that break down organics faster than a compost pile on steroids, all while sipping minimal energy from an integrated photovoltaic panel. No harsh chemicals here; it’s a gentle fermentation, leaving behind effluent so clean it rivals secondary municipal treatment. A quick UV zap and ultrasonic polish in the final disinfection module seals the deal, ensuring the output is odor-free and safe for non-potable uses. What strikes me most, having overseen its prototype runs, is how this modular design adapts to your space underground burial for the minimalist, above-ground for easy access turning what could be an eyesore into an invisible ally.
The real game-changer, though, lies in how AQUVERA reshapes your daily water footprint, slashing non-potable demand by up to 40% in a typical setup. Think about it: that recycled stream now flushes your toilets, waters your lawn, or even cools your rooftop AC unit, freeing up fresh supply for drinking, cooking, and those little indulgences like a bubble bath. In my consultations with busy families in Phoenix, where summer water bills can hit triple digits, we’ve seen households drop their overall consumption by 30%, not through nagging conservation apps, but by simply redirecting what was once “waste” into productive loops. For offices, it’s even more potent imagine a mid-sized firm in Dubai retrofitting with AQUVERA clusters, irrigating communal green walls that not only cool the building but boost employee morale with lush, living barriers against the desert heat. The system’s self-monitoring sensors beam data to your phone via a simple app, alerting you to tweaks like a nutrient boost for the bio-chamber during high-use weeks, ensuring peak efficiency without you lifting a finger. It’s this hands-off intelligence that elevates AQUVERA beyond basic treatment; it’s a partner in resilience, quietly buffering against droughts or rate hikes that hit harder each year.
Yet, what elevates AQUVERA from clever contraption to essential infrastructure is its whisper of broader impact the kind that ripples out like a stone skipped across a still pond. In regions where groundwater tables are plummeting, like parts of Iran’s Khuzestan or California’s Central Valley, deploying these units at scale could reclaim millions of gallons annually, easing pressure on overstretched aquifers without the carbon footprint of trucking in bottled alternatives. I’ve walked sites where early adopters, skeptical at first, now swear by the system’s longevity UV-resistant materials shrugging off UV rays for a decade-plus, with modular swaps keeping costs under $5,000 upfront and pennies per gallon treated. Environmentally, it’s a boon: zero sludge buildup means no hauling to landfills, and the bio-process sequesters a smidge of CO2 along the way, turning your home into a net-positive node in the urban water web. As we hurtle toward a world where every drop counts, AQUVERA isn’t just treating wastewater; it’s rewriting the narrative of abundance, one household at a time. If you’re pondering a pivot toward self-sufficiency, this is where the future starts practical, poetic, and profoundly effective.
