Technical adaptation and improvement of the WWRS Viveros de la Villa

Adaptation and improvement WWRS Viveros de la Villa

Madrid, Spain

Wastewater treatment

Project type

151.200 m³/day

Daily capacity

The upgrade of the Viveros de la Villa Water Reclamation Facility introduced a tertiary treatment system capable of processing an average flow of 151,200 m³ per day, serving approximately 550,000 people.

The project focused on improving reclaimed water quality through advanced solids removal, disinfection and emerging contaminant reduction processes, enabling the treated effluent to meet a range of potential reuse requirements.

The facility incorporates advanced oxidation technologies and automated control systems designed to optimise operation and maintain high water quality standards.

The new facilities in the tertiary treatment of the Viveros de la Villa ERAR make it possible to guarantee an adequate elimination of solids, as well as having an advanced oxidation system for the removal of emerging contaminants and obtaining a disinfection of the treated effluent adaptable to the requirements of quality that the possible uses of the river may demand.

Characteristics required for treated water:

Nematode eggs: < 1 egg/10 l

SS:< 5 ppm

Turbidity: < 10 NTU

2.2 cfu e-coli / 100 ml

The information and control system is carried out by means of a programmable controller. The energy supply to the new treatment includes a medium voltage connection to a new 15/20 kV and 1,600 kVA transformation center.

Barcelona Desalination Plant

Barcelona, Spain

The Barcelona Desalination Plant project comprised the design, construction, and two-year operation of the largest desalination facility in Europe supplying potable water directly to the public distribution network. The plant was delivered within a record timeframe, under conditions of extreme drought and near-restriction levels, requiring meticulous planning and highly efficient technical solutions. Among these, the project featured an innovative seawater intake system, using long-distance pipelines towed afloat from Norway and installed at significant depth. The facility incorporates a comprehensive and highly flexible treatment system, designed to adapt to varying operational conditions. Despite the technical complexity and accelerated execution schedule, the project was awarded Best Desalination Plant in the World in 2009 by the prestigious Global Water Intelligence, competing against benchmark facilities in China and the Middle East.
