Entro l’anno prossimo saranno conclusi i works di ammodernamento e rifunzionalizzazione dei depuratori di Cuma e di Napoli Nord, interventi a beneficio della balneazione e della qualita’ della vita dei cittadini.
Ad oggi sono gia’ conclusi gli interventi sulla filiera dell’acqua e si sta lavorando sulle filiere dei fanghi. Il punto sullo stato di avanzamento degli interventi previsti nell’ambito del progetto ‘Regi Lagni’ della Regione Campania e’ stato effettuato in occasione dell’evento ‘La Campania al passo con l’Europa – Modernizzazione e depurazione delle acque: il modello Suez di Cuma e Napoli Nord’.
The meeting was promoted by Suez, an international leader in environmental services and in the design and management of purification plants, which has been entrusted with the works on the Cuma and Napoli Nord purification plants. "We are one step away from the conclusion of this great project - explained Aure'lia Carre're, president and CEO of Suez Italia - and we are in line with the sustainability objectives of the Region that needs tourism but also to protect the quality of life of its inhabitants.
The two water lines that are completely repurposed and protect the water of the Gulf of Naples”. Once the work on the water line is finished, the company is now focusing on the sludge supply chain for which – Carre're underlined – “there is a national problem related to disposal but with the solutions that we are implementing we will reduce by 80 percent the quantity of sludge that comes out of our two stations”.
Thanks to the implementation of innovative technologies, which generate a positive impact on the quality of coastal waters and the environment, the concentrations of pollutants are limited. Furthermore, the new purifiers will allow to reduce the energy footprint through valorization, reduction of the volume of sludge and cogeneration with heat recovery.
The aim of the large Regi Lagni project, financed by the Campania Region with 450 million euros, is to promote the development of the 5 wastewater treatment plants (Cuma, Napoli Nord, Marcianise, Acerra, Foce Regi Lagni) with a total capacity of 4,5 million equivalent inhabitants.
"We are over the halfway point and we are starting to see the final finish line," said the vice president of the Campania Region, Fulvio Bonavitacola, "thanks to the good collaboration of the administrations, first and foremost the Region, with high-level entrepreneurial entities.
We will have to complete the modernization of the purifiers to provide an answer to the quality of wastewater treatment for the introduction of crystal-clear and unpolluted flows into the sea, but we also have the problem of sludge and drying which also entail great costs”. But in addition to the need to complete the modernization of the purifiers, the number two at Palazzo Santa Lucia also emphasized the need to complete the collections. “We are making important steps forward – he concluded – the combination of the completion of the collections and the functionality of the purifiers will mean having a clean sea”.
