Sitra, one of the companies that has most strongly committed to decarbonization and resource optimization technologies in recent years, mainly within the agri-food sector, now adds two new references within this sector that is characterized by being intensive in discharges with a high organic load.
This dual collaboration agreement has been made possible thanks to the trust placed in Sitra by one of the world's leading juice and beverage manufacturers, and has resulted in significant energy cost optimization. By replacing conventional aerobic treatment with SBR technology with anaerobic treatment, Sitra has achieved electricity savings in wastewater treatment exceeding 65%, a reduction in sludge generation of over 75%, and the generation of renewable energy in the form of biogas. This allows Sitra to considerably reduce its clients' carbon footprint and lead the way towards decarbonization.
It is worth noting that, from its beginnings, the company It also supports its clients on their journey towards energy transition through its area of expertise: water treatment. For over 25 years, it has dedicated its knowledge and experience to environmental protection, treating industrial wastewater from more than 70 facilities.
Due to the significant increase in energy costs, water treatment technologies that require minimal energy consumption are becoming increasingly necessary, and anaerobic wastewater treatment is one of the best options. These purification processes generate a renewable fuel (biogas) that, in most cases, can be used in the production process itself with a simple biogas purification system and adjustments to the plant's combustion systems.
For all these reasons, it is increasingly common for large companies from diverse sectors to opt for these technologies to minimize energy costs, as well as to significantly reduce waste generation and the consumption of chemical reagents in conventional aerobic systems.
With these two recent projects, the company now has four anaerobic reactor facilities for wastewater treatment, an exponential growth that has been made possible by its technical expertise and its strong commitment to sustainable technologies for wastewater treatment in industry.
