Mest Water remains the only approved supplier of a fully operational Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system in the Netherlands, and holds European and international patents for the technology
Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) ( Sprintex or Company ) is pleased to announce it has received a €143,250 (A$256,077) deposit payment from strategic partner Mest Water, and that the Dutch government’s upcoming subsidy for small-scale manure processing will trigger a new product development initiative between the two companies.
In an announcement[ii] , Dutch Minister Femke Marije Wiersma confirmed that the Netherlands will launch a national subsidy scheme in Autumn 2025, enabling 10,000 to 12,000 small and mid-sized farms to adopt advanced manure processing systems in line with EU environmental targets. The program aims to fasttrack permitting and investment in technologies that reduce ammonia and nitrogen emissions.
Mest Water — Sprintex’s exclusive partner — is currently the only approved supplier of a fully operational Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) system in the Netherlands. Together, the companies will now begin a dedicated compressor development project to create a compact, high-efficiency solution designed for mobile ZLD units suitable for small-scale farms. Demand is expected to scale as farmers respond to tightening environmental rules, herd size caps, and compliance fines. Mest’s system has an added advantage in that it effectively pasteurises the treated manure, allowing a broad range of uses for the remaining solids, including exporting the material.

The €143,250 (A$256,077) deposit is part of a revised evaluation order that increased from €620,000 (A$1,108,000) to €705,000 (A$1,260,000) due to the upgrade of all 17 stationary systems to dualcompressor configurations for enhanced performance.
The evaluation order also includes one mobile ZLD-UP system, which will use three Sprintex MW30 compressors on each unit. The mobile units are capable of treating 3000kg per hour of manure, allowing rapid onsite processing for smaller farms on a periodical basis.
Two of Sprintex’s most senior engineers are currently on site at Mest Water’s 31,500m² facility in Tubbergen, Netherlands. The team is finalising commissioning and testing of the first full upgraded unit, including installation of Sprintex IOT (internet of things) monitoring and communication system, allowing remote monitoring and system updates to be undertaken directly by the Company. Pre-heating and live testing are now underway, with the system scheduled to be deployed to one of Van Drie Group’s farms in the coming days.

Van Drie Group — the Netherlands’ largest veal producer — is evaluating the ZLD-UP system ahead of an order for 200 stationary units, which will generate €4.8 million (A$8.58 million) in revenue for Sprintex. The deposit for that order is 50% (€2.4 million (A$4.29 million)). This trial , due to be completed in early July, is expected to validate Sprintex’s upgraded dual-compressor integration and serve as a platform for larger-scale deployment across the EU livestock sector.
With both large-scale commercial and government-backed small farm markets advancing in parallel, Sprintex is well positioned to scale its clean-tech platform across Europe.
Management Commentary
Jay Upton, CEO and Managing Director of Sprintex, said: “We are pleased to advance our partnership with Mest Water with the commencement of the compressor development project, amid what’s now an increasingly supportive regulatory environment for the application of our technology in a major European market. With our engineers on-site working alongside Mest Water staff and the first dual compressor model scheduled for deployment next week, we are confident that Sprintex has the capability to deliver the modifications required and access what is a significant addressable market for mobile ZLD systems that cater to small-scale farming operations. In that context, the National Subsidy Scheme announced by Dutch lawmakers this week is an important development which has the potential to provide additional commercial tailwinds for our technology. We look forward to providing further updates in the near-term regarding the Van Drie Group deployment.”
