The plant's operations help protect local streams and the downstream Tagus ecosystem from nutrient pollution.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into a tributary of the Tagus River, which flows through central Spain and Portugal before reaching the Atlantic Ocean. The Tagus basin supports diverse aquatic life and is an important water resource for agriculture and urban supply. Secondary treatment reduces organic load and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in the receiving water body and downstream environments.
