A New Opportunity for Every Drop: The Plant That Turns Wastewater into Usable Water
In the city of Guarenas, Miranda state, the Estación Productora de Agua Limpia (EPAL) operates, a treatment plant built by Grupo Leti that transforms millions of liters of industrial wastewater annually into a safe resource for reuse.
TL;DR
- The Estación Productora de Agua Limpia (EPAL) in Guarenas treats industrial wastewater from Grupo Leti.
- The plant uses a biological reactor with microorganisms to purify water, which is then clarified and recovered.
- Treated water is reused for irrigation and internal industrial processes, not for human consumption.
- EPAL treats 46 million liters of industrial wastewater annually, saving over 16 million liters of potable water.
- Grupo Leti has other sustainability projects, including switching boilers from diesel to natural gas and digitizing product leaflets.
- These efforts have led to reduced CO2 emissions, saved paper, and optimized boiler efficiency, resulting in water and chemical savings.
- Grupo Leti received the R3 distinction from Ecolab for its reduction, reuse, and recycling projects.
