Into the future - Evertis 2023 Sustainability Report

Assessment of the wastewater treatment plant in Portalegre Environment In our ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, we have initiated a comprehensive project aimed at enhancing the efficiency of our wastewater treatment plant in Portalegre while addressing the pressing issue of microplastic contamination in our waterways. Through a systematic approach, we aim to better understand our treatment processes, identify optimisation opportunities, and implement strategies to minimise the presence of microplastics in our treated effluent. The project encompasses several key components:

Assessment of current treatment processes

Optimisation opportunities

Microplastic and macroplastic analysis

We are conducting a thorough evaluation of our existing treatment processes to gain a better understanding of their effectiveness in removing contaminants, including microplastics. This involves analysing the various stages of treatment to pinpoint areas for improvement.

Through detailed analysis and data-driven insights, we are identifying opportunities to optimise our plant operations. This includes streamlining processes, enhancing filtration techniques, and implementing advanced technologies to improve the overall efficiency of the treatment plant.

We are conducting extensive testing to quantify the presence of both microplastics and macroplastics in the treated effluent. This will provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of our current treatment methods in removing plastic pollutants from the wastewater stream.
