Pitch

Why do not think in a improved WWTP that is decentralized, has low emission of GHG, better OPEX and meets the suggested process from UN?

Description

Summary / Résumé

Quoting the last UN Report "In a world where demands for fresh water are constantly growing, and where limited water resources are increasingly affected by over-exploitation, pollution and climate change, neglecting the opportunities arising from better wastewater management is not less than unthinkable in the context of a circular economy"

In this context of circular economy the Wastewater management ‘4 R’s’:

reducing pollution at the source;
removing contaminants from wastewater flows;
reusing reclaimed water; and
recovering useful by-products 

Sistema COROH® is a WWTP that can contribute and enable such goals do to it's uniqueness:

Low GHG emissions compared to other WWTPs
Reuse of materials in it construction process
High quality treatment, results in water that fits for several Reuse applications
Several nutrients, like N and P can be recovered from it process
Decentralized system that can retrofit, replace or improve the current installed process
Small use of land
Do not need an specific Sludge Management process as we don't need to remove it from the process

We can say as well that Sistema CORÓH® also meets in CE demands because

Preserve and enhance natural capital
Maintain value of products, materials and resources as long as possible
Minimize waste
Low carbon, resource efficient
Reshaped value chain from, establish feedback loops 

Proving several benefits in a CE, such as
Sustainable economic growth
Economical, cost savings
New business opportunities
Job creation (local)
Energy savings
Reduction GHG and pollution
Resource efficiency and saving
