Description
Short description
The water produced during roasting in the furnaces is recovered and treated. To do this, it is led to two triangular-shaped basins with cross-sections of 342 and 480m2, where other runoff water from the facilities also arrives for its decantation at first. Later, in a treatment plant, it is subjected to a process of adapting the quality of the water to the conditions of the process and to the conditions permitted in the case of a discharge into public waters.
