Project Results

We have achieved a zero liquid discharge scheme for this facility which minimizes our environmental impact due to water discharges. In addition, we have reached a reduction of water withdraws of 3,500 m3 in 10 monthssince the project was commissioned, thanks to water reuse within processes and WC services supplied with treated wastewater, this equals approximately 10% of the total consumption of this site.
