This is a wastewater treatment plant for an average daily flow of 45.000 m3/day (urban 30.000 m3/day – Industrial 15.000 m3/day) whose execution involves the following actions:
Demolition and general rehabilitation of the existing WWTP
Urban and industrial water pretreatment
rolling tank
primary decantation
MBR Biological Reactors with Nutrient Removal
Gravity thickening and flotation
Dehydration with centrifuges, anaerobic digestion and cogeneration
Odor treatment
New control and laboratory buildings
Installation of photovoltaic panels
Among the improvements that have been introduced in the project are the application of two GS INIMA technologies, the Smart Air MBR system developed by GS Inima and the University of Girona, which optimizes the performance of membrane bioreactors and reduces their energy consumption and the treatment of runoff through the DEMON system with its own license.
This important award means maintaining a high level of presence of GS Inima in Spain and a great reference that increases our technical solvency.
