Project Overview
The water company, Aguas Andinas, through its Mapocho El Trebal plant, is located in the western suburb Padre Hurtado in the Metropolitan Region. The plant processes half of the wastewater for the region with a treatment capacity of 8 m3/sec of purification. Aguas Andinas has started an ambitious project of converting the plant into a Biofactory. This solution is designed to support green initiatives through a series of environmental activities. The new plant will not generate residue nor impact the environment and will produce its own energy thus avoiding the consumption of fossil fuels. It will create a virtuous circle in favor of the environment and against global warming.
