Reclaimed water for the Tarragona petrochemical park

Abstract: The Camp de Tarragona Water Reuse Project is an emblematic example of how regional water scarcity can be overcome by considering reclaimed secondary effluent, which would otherwise be disposed of in the Mediterranean Sea, as an essential component of integrated water resources management. An advanced water reclamation plant (AWRP) was completed in 2011 to reclaim municipal secondary effluent from Tarragona and Vilaseca-Salou wastewater treatment plants. The reclaimed effluent is used for cooling and process wa… Show more

“…The reclaimed water was used for drinking and food preparation (Matthews, 2015). Reclaimed effluent from Tarragona and Vilaseca-Salou wastewater treatment plants was used for cooling and process water at the nearby Tarragona petrochemical park (Sanz et al, 2015), which helps to sustain local industry.…”
