DEMO CASE
Venta Alta DWTP
Location: Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain
Background
Venta Alta is the principal drinking water treatment plant serving Bizkaia and supplies water to nearly one million inhabitants. The plant has recently undergone major upgrades, including improvements to its activated-carbon filtration infrastructure and the integration of photovoltaic technology, making it particularly relevant for demonstrating REGENIOUS’s combination of regeneration, electrification and sustainability.
Expected impacts
The Venta Alta campaign will demonstrate the flexibility of the REGENIOUS system at a major operational facility and explore its potential for replication across several filters.
Because the project aims to directly integrate renewable electricity with electrochemical regeneration, the Spanish demonstrations will also provide evidence that energy-intensive regeneration can increasingly be powered by renewable sources. REGENIOUS aims for renewable generation to cover more than 10% of pilot-unit electricity demand during the Spanish demonstrations.
