Madrid, 1th September 2021. Lantania will carry out the expansion of Tradebe’s biological wastewater treatment plant at the Port of Barcelona (Ecoimsa), located in the Muelle de la Energía (Energy Dock) in Barcelona. The project undertaken by the infrastructure, water and energy group includes the implementation of a second biological treatment line using raised aerobic biological reactor technology followed by separation by ultrafiltration membranes providing a hydraulic treatment capacity of 400 m3/day.

The works, which began last July, are scheduled to take six months to complete. Lantania will head up the engineering, supply, installation and commissioning of the facility. The extension is scheduled to come into operation in January 2022.

This move will double the Port’s capacity to treat its customers’ wastewater. The expansion of the biological treatment plant carried out by Lantania is part of the renovation project of Tradebe’s facilities at the Port of Barcelona. The works will adapt the facilities to the current service needs of reception, treatment and recovery of waste generated by ships arriving in Barcelona.
