HidroBIO - Design criteria

The choice of a wastewater treatment system depends on:

  • Performance required of the system. Point of pollution reduction necessary to reach the discharge or reuse limits set by regional organizations or hydraulic confederations.
  • Daily flow and peak hour flow of wastewater to be treated.
  • Investment costs; not only must we take into account the cost of installation, but also the need of land for the location of the plant.
  • Operating costs; power consumption, waste management costs, maintenance, etc.
  • Space available for the location of the wastewater treatment plant.
  • Simplicity of operation and maintenance; should be considered if you have specialized staff to monitor the plant or not.
  • Environmental impact; visual impact of the fitting, possibility of civil works, nuisance for odours, noise, etc.
