The installed photovoltaic system at Elavi Clinic caters for the power supply to the clinic as well as the nurse houses. A 6.2kW PV module array generates enough power for the energy requirements. Should this not be sufficient the batteries can be charged by a backup generator.

The system consists of the following:

• 6.24 kW PV array
• 2x Victron BueSolar 150V/70A MPPT regulator
• 600Ah Battery capacity
• Inverter/Charger, Victron Multi, 48V/8000VA
• System Monitoring (BMV700, Color Control GX)

After successful completion of the Omusati off grid electrification project, CTS was successful in winning the bid for the second phase of containerized PV solutions for the Kunene region. With the experience gained from phase 1, the containers were optimized in many ways. The final design consisted custom build 20ft container by Namspace in Swakopmund.

Sites that were electrified in the Kunene region are:

• Otjitjekua School
• Otjiu School
• Otjiu Hostel
• Epupa School

The project included the following:

• Upgrading of all government building wiring as per national standard for 4 sites in the Kunene region:
• Manufacture, supply and install container power units for these sites.

The power containers consisted of ca 2.8kW of PV modules installed on the roof as well as 4,500 Ah of battery capacity. Five kVA inverter charger and two 70A BlueSolar Charge regulator all from Victron Energy complete the system. Remote monitoring of all sites is achieved by using the Victron Color Control GX unit.

A 200kW PV peak grid tied PV system was installed at Quality Tyres Lafrenz Industrial Area. Remote monitoring of all 10 inverter allows for early fault detection and system degradation as well as maintenance planing.

System Specifications are:

• 680x 295W Canadian Solar modules
• 10x Fronius Symo 20.0-3 Grid Inverter
• Roof mounting structure for IBR roof sheeting
• AC surge protection
• configured for remote monitoring

Ministry of Agriculture through, through SASSCAL funding, did acquire 3 automatic weather stations in 2018 which where finally installed in 2019 after sites have been determined. These stations from part of the existing SASSCAL weather station network that has been established over the past years. All stations conform to SASSCAL requirements and are inline with WMO standards.

The stations are installed at :

• Dudukabe (Zambezi)
• Okalongo (Ohangwena)
• Omafo (Ohangwena)

CTS ensures that your system is designed for your requirements.  With our years of experience, we not only install, but also service and maintain the equipment today, and in the years to come.

With our extensive knowledge in sterilization and infection control, CTS installed suitable autoclaves with BSL3 seals.  In addition to the autoclaves, an effluent treatment system was also installed.  This system collects the effluent from the autoclaves, sinks and wash basins, and collects it in one tank.  Once a certain level has been reached, a second tank will collect the effluent, while sterilization begins in the first tank.  In this way, collection of the effluent is not delayed whilst sterilization is being performed in one of the tanks.  Through this system, the highest level of decontamination is achieved, ensuring a safe environment.

CVL is classified as a BSL 3 laboratory.  BSL 3 means a biosafety level of 3.  This is a level of bio-containment precautions, required to isolate dangerous agents, which may cause serious diseases.  This includes various bacteria, viruses and parasites.  CVL required autoclaves with a BSL3 seal approval, as well as an effluent treatment system, to decontaminate a wide range of aqueous liquids.

CTS was awarded the tender to supply, deliver to site, installation, testing and commission of two autoclaves and an effluent treatment system for CVL.

CTS removed old and obsolete laundry equipment and installed new machines.

The installed equipment sonsisted of:

• 3 x new Primus RS35 washer extractors
• 3 x Maytag energy saving tumble dryers
• 2 x Miele through-feed drying ironers
• including laundry trolleys, ironing trolleys, hand-irons and ironing tables
