Why Valdebebas?
The target population of Valdebebas (20,000 inhabitants) is perfect for the development of this project and the joint management of WW and OFMSW in towns from 5,000 to 50,000 inhabitants. It’s a neighbourhood with 15.000 inhabitants and an expected growth up to 50.000.
Technology compatibility
The configuration of the Valdebebas WWTP allows us to operate the AQU-ELANÂŪ system independently of the AnMBR system. The high load process removes organic matter but not ammonium, hence this current WWTP tributary is the ideal stream to be introduced into the system.
Instant check
The performance and quality of the effluent from an AnMBR system and a high-load system can be compared on site.
Qualified staff
The WWTP is owned by CANAL and operated by AQUALIA. Together with personnel from the R&D&I Department at Canal de Isabel II, will promote synergies and will ensure the proper functioning of the demo plant.
Smart Irrigation System and Generated Water Network
It has a Smart Irrigation System and Regenerated Water Network managed by CANAL that supplies the park and the urban green areas.
