Needs:
Integration of existing ponds, high outlet quality required for a discharge into the river, sustainable development
-
Solution:
French system 2-vertical flow stages of treatment integrating the existing ponds.
-
Benefits:
The plant discharges into the river a water quality similar to that released by the usual intensive treatment processes with operating costs twice as low, a markedly lower carbon impact and a greater reliability. The integration of the initial ponds into the treatment process improves nitrogen and phosphorus removal during summer time. It offers landscape preservation and a reduction of non renewable energy consumption as well as greehouse gases.
