Veolia Water Technologies is a global provider of water and wastewater services and solutions for both the public and private sectors. They were contracted to build a water treatment facility on the Sorrento coast, one of the most picturesque parts of Italy, that would provide critical services to local residents as well as protect the environment.
THE CHALLENGE
The situation was serious as more than half of the population was discharging waste directly into the sea, and the other half into a treatment facility that did not comply with regulations. These challenges drove Veolia to design a state-of-the-art solution for their plant at Punta Gradelle.
THE SOLUTION
Schneider’s EcoStruxure solution was implemented to automate the plant’s processes covering four operational areas of the facility: pre-processing, oxidation, sludge processing, electrical distribution.
