ENEL LAUNCHES LATIN AMERICA'S FIRST NANOTECHNOLOGY WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT IN PERU'S WAYRA I WIND FARM
The plant is one of a kind across the Enel Group's assets and can treat 100% of the water used for the construction of Enel's largest (132 MW) wind project in Peru
Up until Wayra I's completion in 1H 2018, the treatment facility will allow Enel to reuse 350 cubic metres of water while avoiding the emission of 1.64 tonnes of CO2 by reducing the use of motor vehicles for the removal of mud
Operation of the treatment plant itself is CO2-free as it is powered by a small wind facility with battery storage
The treatment plant is mobile and can be transferred to other construction sites following Wayra I's completion
