]]> Wastewater treatment plants are systems designed to remove contaminants from wastewater, making it safe for the environment.
Wastewater treatment is essential to:
● Protect the environment and public health
● Reduce pollution in waterways and aquatic ecosystems, safeguarding flora and fauna
● Prevent the spread of diseases and protect water resources
● Reuse water for irrigation in drought-prone areas

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗰 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲
Enkidec specializes in the design and construction of wastewater treatment plants developed for various sectors, including tourism.
We recently supplied and installed a biological wastewater treatment plant with an SBR process for a renowned tourist resort in Cape Verde.
The plant is equipped with a tertiary treatment section that enables the full reuse of treated wastewater for garden irrigation—an essential feature in a country frequently affected by drought.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗕𝗥 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀
The Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) process is an advanced technology for treating organic wastewater.
Unlike conventional continuous-flow systems, the entire treatment takes place in a single reactor operating cyclically through the following phases:
● Filling and denitrification
● Oxidation – nitrification
● Denitrification
● Oxidation – nitrification
● Sedimentation
● Discharge of clarified effluent
● Excess sludge removal
At the end of the biological treatment, the process includes a quartz sand and activated carbon filtration stage, providing an additional safeguard to capture any residual compounds not removed in earlier phases.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁
The SBR plant was built in a compact form inside a 40-foot container, divided into two main sections:
● Process tank for biological oxidation, nitrification, denitrification, and final sedimentation
● Technical room with electromechanical equipment and the main control panel
The purification cycle runs several times per day, fully automated and remotely monitored.
Thanks to its modular structure, the system’s capacity can be expanded by adding additional units.

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
The project was overseen by Enkidec in every stage, including:
● Technical design
● On-site installation
● Electrical and hydraulic connections
● Preliminary and functional testing

With over 20 years of experience, we design and deliver tailor-made systems capable of meeting the specific needs of every production context.

]]> We are pleased to announce the launch of a new and strategic collaboration between ACPROL and Enkidec, aimed at developing projects and facilities dedicated to wastewater treatment, water purification, and the reuse of treated water in the Libyan market.

This partnership was established with the goal of providing advanced technological solutions to tackle the challenges related to water scarcity and the need for modern, reliable, and sustainable infrastructure. In particular, systems will be developed for the treatment and reuse of wastewater for irrigation purposes, thereby contributing to water efficiency and supporting local agriculture.

The collaboration between ACPROL and Enkidec—an expert in environmental engineering and water treatment—aims to combine complementary expertise to create integrated and tailored plants that meet the needs of the region and its communities.

This initiative represents an important step in our strategy for internationalization and cooperation in emerging markets, with a focus on sustainability and the enhancement of natural resources.

A synergy that looks to the future, with water at the center of a concrete, resilient, and sustainable development project.

]]> Microplastics are widespread and have been found in the environment, surface water, soils, air, and even some foodstuffs. The number of microplastic particles in groundwater is deemed to be negligible. The potential impact of microplastics on public health and ecosystems is a growing public concern and has been high on the agenda of decision makers for some time. With growing global use of (micro-)plastics, their release to the environment is expected to increase. Our briefing note outlines our concerns, and why we want to see more control at source measures.

]]> Direct emissions released to water bodies from Europe’s large industrial sites have decreased in recent years for many pollutants. However, industrial pollution transferred through the sewer systems to urban waste water treatment plants (UWWTPs) has slightly increased, putting pressure on the waste water treatment infrastructure. While EU legislation tracks emissions from large industries, the extent of emissions from many small facilities remain largely unknown at European level. These are the key findings of a new European Environment Agency (EEA) analysis on data reported to the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR) and under EU legislation on water.
