Sector: Methodologies, Services
Description
ENEA can provide appropriate and tailor-made solutions for wastewater management and depuration, mainly in urban and peri-urban contexts, characterized by water scarcity. These solutions allow appropriate wastewater treatment to obtain a non-conventional water resource to be used for irrigation and/or other urban uses (e.g. public greening, fire prevention, etc.), and can be transferred to and meet the needs of developing countries.
Benefits and Advantages:
- Production of additional water resources for irrigation or other uses
- Higher energy efficiency and upgrading of existing treatment systems
- Implementation of decentralized treatment systems
ENEA Service:
- identification/design of upgrading and rationalization measures
- technology transfer
- technical support
- consulting
- design of tertiary treatment systems and technologies to be applied in existing or future municipal wastewater treatment plants.
