By using appropriate treatment technologies, the agri-food industry can recover 50 to 90% of the wastewater it generates.
Water scarcity, driven by climate change, has led various sectors to adopt measures that promote circularity and water efficiency.
“In the case of the agri-food industry, it is possible to significantly reduce water consumption by reusing its effluents, which can be treated and applied for various purposes,” says Fátima Pedroso, Director of Industrial Solutions at Aquapor.
“If industrial effluents are used only for irrigation, recovery can exceed 90%. On the other hand, when it comes to non-food industrial uses, such as in boilers and cooling systems, industries can recover 50 to 60% of their effluents,” she explains.
In order to promote the use of alternative water sources, particularly industrial effluents, Aquapor has been developing various solutions that can be adapted to the needs of each industry.
Water circularity in the agricultural and agri-food sectors will be highlighted tomorrow at Ovibeja, during a debate organized by Aquapor, which aims to present new guidelines for wastewater management as well as existing solutions for effluent treatment.
