Assuming you are referring to an existing WWTP, look at each major piece of equipment's manual of operation for the recommended spare parts list and [potential suppliers. These written manuals may be found in a file cabinet in the central control room or in a laboratory. This is only one of many suggestions. Perhaps you can define exactly your situation. Best regards.

To source spare parts for wastewater treatment operation and maintenance in Ethiopia , one can explore a mix of local and international options depending on urgency, availability, and budget. Here's a strategic approach:
🇪🇹 In Ethiopia (Local Sources)
Local Engineering & Environmental Companies

Water Works Construction Enterprise – sometimes carries spares or has supply partnerships.
Local Distributors or Importers Contact companies importing water and wastewater equipment:
Inter-Africa Trading PLC
MCE Engineering & Trading
Aqua SanTec Ethiopia – Known for sanitation and water treatment products.
Ethio Water Technology Institute (WTI) – Can often recommend or connect you to suppliers.
Tana Engineering PLC – Based in Addis Ababa, offers a range of industrial and utility equipment.
Industrial Parks & Government Projects Sometimes the Ministry of Water and Energy or Addis Ababa Water and Sewerage Authority (AAWSA) can point to suppliers used in recent projects.
🌍 International Suppliers That Ship to Ethiopia
Large Global Manufacturers
Grundfos, KSB, Wilo (for pumps and controls)

Dear Mered,
can you please state your request more clearly?
Is this an operational plant that needs particular spare parts, or is yours a general request for a new plant you are designing?
The most important companies generally have contacts or dealers who are also present in Ethiopia.
Let me know if and how I can help you.
Have a great day! Duilio
